Canon: Syfy's Alice

[causeiwearahat]

Yes, there do seem to be an awful lot of Alices here, but none of them are my Alice. So if we could kindly see fit to, you know, send me back where I belong, that'd be great. Back to Alice. Or Wonderland, but mostly Alice. My Alice.

Thanks.

[Give him a moment, sorry Hatter.]

Well, this is awkward.

[causeiwearahat]

Well it certainly is weird... I've heard of things in Wonderland that will steal your face clean off, but this is just weird.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

You're not a Doppleganger, I know that much.

[causeiwearahat]

Nor are you. For one thing, I haven't got eyes like a Cheshire Cat.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

[...did he not put his illusions up, or do they not work here?]

I don't think I've heard anyone with your accent since London, and it's obviously not mine, either.

[causeiwearahat]

[Hatter's also from Wonderland. Things work weirdly there. If it's not actively related to other worlds like the Summerlands anyway.]

Yeah but that's not from my world, London isn't part of Wonderland. I've got a hatter's accent, 'cause that's what I am.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

I fail to see what your profession has to do with your accent. I've known hatters with London accents, French accents, what have you.

[causeiwearahat]

...Oh, ha, no, you must be an oyster--if a very... me-looking one. I'm not a haberdasher I don't make hats. Not in Wonderland. I used to, well, let's just say I've had to change businesses a few times.

[offwithhishead]

So many things with that sentiment are just plain painful, though I wish you the best of luck with the search for home and Alice.

[causeiwearahat]

Not quite sure where you're getting the painful part, but thanks all the same?

[notoflegend]

I hope you mean me.

[causeiwearahat]

[Happiest Hatter grin? Indeed. Clearly delighted to see you.]

Who else could I possibly mean?

[notoflegend]

That's an acceptable response. [She smiles teasingly.]

[causeiwearahat]

Oh, well, if I'm only hitting acceptable, clearly I'm doing something wrong.

[Naaaah, he isn't and he knows it, for once]

[notoflegend]

We all have off days.

[causeiwearahat]

Oh not us Hatters. Matter of pride, and all that.

[notoflegend]

I guess we'll just have to figure out some way to help you improve then.

[causeiwearahat]

Practice sessions? With such a great teacher--and so much natural skill-I should be improving in no time.

[plainly]

Wow, sounds like you really like this girl. [ teasing, slightly deadpan. ] Maybe you're not looking hard enough.

[causeiwearahat]

You're right. She does have this habit of... showing up, as it were. In all the right places.

[Oh Alice, this is why he likes you]

[plainly]

Or falling into them, unfortunately. Depends on how you want to look at it.

[ again teasing, but she matches more of his flirtatious tone this time. ]

[causeiwearahat]

However she gets there doesn't matter much to me. Especially if she shows up all.. wet again.

[plainly]

I'd really rather not. [ because it's cold and uncomfortable. :| unless they're entering innuendo land (she wouldn't put it past him, honestly). ] Hatter, please tell me that's not all you care about -- getting me in a wet dress again.

[causeiwearahat]

...not that I'd object, of course, but no, Alice. If you're safe--even in this mad place--then...

[He gives a 'then it's all good' gesture. When did he switch to innuendo and flirting to serious so fast? And so seamlessly?]

[plainly]

[ it happens. or at least it seems to with them. since 'pizza' can suddenly lead to 'goodbye.' ]

Safe, sure. I think so. Of course I have no idea what I'm doing here. But you called, and I'm not about to leave you behind.
