canon is syfy alice!

[hereinstyle]

 Oh, I see how it is then.

No, no. Don't stress yourself, little oyster. I am completely fine with sitting in the dust until you find yourself some...whatsits...youtube clips and decide it's all alright to put a hat on again. It's not as if I have a business to run or wet girls in equally wet dresses to keep from killing themselves. Not at all. Completely content to sit on this less than plush chair you've offered me.

Completely. Happy.

[ a wide grin, he points to it ]

See. The look of a happy face. Now you can get on with finding me somewhere to stretch these cramped legs of mine, if it's not too much trouble.

[...w-weeeeh it's Hatter ;A;] I'm afraid I lost your dog.

[hereinstyle]

[ oh yay it's Lily-


B| ]

You lost. Dinoh?


The dog that's bright green? And breathes fire?

[sacrificial]

You didn't have another one, did you?

If it helps at all, I hear he ran off and joined a team of superheroes at some point. Or attempted to murder a team of superheroes, I don't quite remember which. It seems in character for him, either way.

[hereinstyle]

No no, Dinoh was one of a kind.

[ SIGH ] I suppose it's for the best. Little fellow always did enjoy eating a good pair of ridiculously bright tights- at least, if Alice's diminishing wardrobe had anything to say about it.

[sacrificial]

[She laughs, pauses for a moment before just. Hugging him. Stupid jerk going and dying on her like that]

I missed you. Even though your jokes are terrible.

[hereinstyle]

[ he hugs her back. Hatter never was the type to reject a hug ]

You could say the final punchline was killer, at the very least?

[sacrificial]

[She chokes on something that sounds like a horrified laugh before hitting him in the shoulder] That's terrible! You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

[hereinstyle]

[ rubs it!! ]

Afraid there's not enough room for that in this particular jacket.

[verywetdress]

Really, Hatter?

[hereinstyle]

[ yay! Alice! He grins ]

Speak of the wet dress.

[verywetdress]

Speak of it and she shall appear. [ GRINS. ]

[hereinstyle]

Now here's a set of powers that I never realized I truly needed until now.

[verywetdress]

I don't know, you might use them for dastardly purposes, right? [ laaaughs. ]

[hereinstyle]

Really? I am simply shocked at how low your standards are for me. Shocked, and somewhat pleased since now I don't have to feel bad about living up to anything higher.

1/???

[verywetdress]

[ stiffling a laugh. ]

[verywetdress]

[verywetdress]

You're about as innocent as my dress was wet. [ LOOKS ALL TO AMUSED BY THIS. ]

[verywetdress]

[ ....just hugs him instead of saying anything more. ]

Done.

[verywetdress]

I missed you, Hatter.

\o/!

[hereinstyle]

[ hugs! Hatter gives it back, maybe perhaps wilting a little with it. A guy can't help the romantic streak when it pops up ]

I missed you too.

[ a grin ]

Enough to ignore the attack on my character.

[verywetdress]

[ Leans her head against his shoulder and stiffles a laugh. ]

No matter how true it is? [ pokes his cheek and keeps hugging. man. she hasn't done this in a long time. this feels... fantastic. ]

Has your mun been treating you well, Hatter?

[hereinstyle]

Despite how true it is. [ and he's going to run his hand through your hair now ]

If you call rotting in an attic "well". Then sure, coming up roses.

[ he frowns ]

Not to mention the last time we spoke...not exactly the best of occasions.

[ he pulls away a little to look at her ]

How about you? The oyster been behaving?

[verywetdress]

Same as you, Hatter. Same as you. [ fond smile. she can't help it. she really missed you. ]

[hereinstyle]

Now that's a shame.

[ he smiles back ]

Guess we'd better make up for some lost time then, eh?

[verywetdress]

What should we do then? [ hugging you is good right? Right. she's just. kinda hugging you. again. alice, why you do this? w(;_;w)

/Throws in another Alice

[not_for_sale]

You should consider memes, they're a good place for your mun to test you out.

And stop mentioning my wet dress.

aw yeah Hatter's lucky day /o/

[hereinstyle]

It's more a matter of dusting off, seeing as some people [ he looks skyward] have a little problem with displacing their more charming characters.

What can I say, it made quite the impression.

[not_for_sale]

[She chuckles]

Charming? You?

[Just teasing of course. She has to give him hell]

Right. I suppose not too many women show up at your tea shop in wet blue dresses.

[hereinstyle]

It's a habit I haven't been able to break just yet.

[ he understands. and really, she's his favorite person to get hell from - though don't tell Charlie, it'd break his strange, strange little heart]

No, typically they are a disappointing shade of dry. But we can be happy for your innovation!

[not_for_sale]

I think I'll pass.

[Flippant and teasing. If he asked, if he truly wanted it, she'd show up in whatever wet dress he wanted.

-Aside from anything see-through. He has to work for that]
