Who: the Jabberwocky and YOU
Where: Outside the Mansion
When: Friday night to Sunday
Rating: :(
Summary: You’ve heard the Queen’s orders. Now it’s time to follow through.
the Story:

All while the Mansion was teeming with activity, it’s been hiding. Animalistic in its thoughts, survival instinct kicking in. With a corporeal body comes corporeal pains—things it hadn’t counted on. But in the end, hunger (yet again) prevails, and it must make its move now.

As a beast of thought, it evolves at a rapid pace—as most of you have seen. From a creature of shadow, existing in the realm of dreams, to wisps of existence and parroted words, to a beast in a constant state of hunger—it’s adapted, changed itself and its very substance in order to become the ultimate being.

Beware the Jabberwock, my friends! With jaws that bite, and claws that catch. Eyes aflame, whiffling through Wonderland’s woods—burbling as it came. The world shakes; the beast has grown exponentially, towering over the trees of the forest. A manxome foe by all definitions, with the words “dragon” and “dangerous” bubbling to the surface of one’s mind. After the fights in the Mirrorworld, it’s become prepared. Protective scales coating the entirety of its body defend both magic and the majority of melee weapons, while sharp, metal teeth and claws have the ability to rip all substances apart.

It’s the final battle— come together, and come prepared.

Without even passing Go and collecting £200? That's just sad.

"Knives?"

He is not questioning the wisdom of her getting knives. Knives make excellent weapons and may well (possibly, maybe) do great (adequate, noticeable) damage to the Jabberwock in the garden. But he is questioning the wisdom of her throwing those knives at him, and questioning it seriously.

In her defence, though, it sounds like the throwing part can be pinned on a lack of thought rather than malevolence. And let's be honest here: there have been bigger mistakes at his expense (...mostly by Sofia, now he comes to think of it), that have just made him wary rather than antagonistic.

Fine, he'll let her off throwing the stupid knife bag.

He scoops it up (oof, yeah, that's still pretty heavy; never mind, BE A MAN) and takes up a position at the rear of the trebuchet. "Sure. Where's it going?"
