Canon is American McGee's Alice

[simplethankyou]

It amazes me how you just assume I want to play in a game. Frankly. I'm tired of games.

Though I don't think you much care about how I feel, Puppeteer. For if you did, you would be considerate to my state of mind. Which you are not. Why would anyone want to place me in a game with people who are perfectly sane?

I'm unstable. Broken. That doesn't stop you. Tell me, Puppeteer, how mad are you? How impossibly broken is your mind? Let us see your ruins of a Wonderland. Or are you afraid of what we might find there?

Useless.

Might as well be talking to myself but even then I get an answer. The least you could do is find that grinning cat. His voice might be a comfort.

[Alice gives her a look after the kiss on the cheek. No one has ever done that before.] Though your words are kind and your acquaintance appreciated. I must remind you I am not your Alice.

However similar we may be, we are not the same. [she scoots away.]

I don't engage in such activities.

[Laughs out loud again]

Yeah she was exactly like that when we met. I think the only difference so far between you two is she had this mentor that kinda put her on a different path. Now she's totally into fighting evil and darkness wherever it may hide.

[Dismissive handwave]

The important thing is you don't forget.

[simplethankyou]

The only mentor I have is a bullying cat and the only evil I fight is the one the resides in my own mind. [This other version of herself seems odd to her. But it does strike her curiosity.]

I won't forget. I've learned my lesson about forgetting.

[red_of_the_dead]

Sounds like you're on the right path to me! I mean it won't be an easy life, but then again it never has been has it? And easy lives are boring to begin with.

[simplethankyou]

An easy life is a luxury, I have not known for some time. [Though boring, she wants to be someone who could be considered normal. Though she does she what happens to people who let their wonderlands go.]

As for you. Your land. You say it is also falling apart. How so?

[red_of_the_dead]

Oh well, long story.

I guess the short version is zombies, you know the walking dead? They're infecting all the living creatures, even creatures made of food or steel, turning them into mindless killing machines. It was just me and a friend trying to track down the source and destroy it but...well even if we figure out what caused it there's not much left to save.

I already had to put down my Granny, and my former best friend. It's a real mess.

[Weak smile]

So you can see where a girl like me might go a little...nutty.
