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.

[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]

...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.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

[Eyebrow raise]

Oyster? Do I look like an oyster?

[causeiwearahat]

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

[causeiwearahat]

It's a word for people from your world--Alice's world. Not Wonderland.

...Unless you're from somewhere else?

Either way, not that sort of hatter.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

I have no idea where this Alice girl is from, but I assure you I'm not from the same place.

[Summerlands =/= wherever she's from]

I'm starting to think you're insane.

[And that's saying something, coming from this guy]

[causeiwearahat]

Yeah I suppose not. You didn't come through the Looking Glass then?

Why does everybody seem to think that? I'm a paragon of normality where I'm from.

[He is from a very, very weird place.]

[notrequiredtomakesense]

No, I didn't.

[...he's normal?]

You do know that Alice and Wonderland and looking glasses are children's stories, yes?

[causeiwearahat]

Alice, mine, that is, not the Alice of legend, said the same thing. And Wonderland is far from a kid's story, even these days.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

....you're certain you're not from some isolated and largely alien part of the Summerlands?

[notoflegend]

I hope you mean me.

[plainly]

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

[causeiwearahat]

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

Who else could I possibly mean?

[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]

[causeiwearahat]

Given that I've never heard of this charming-sounding 'Summerlands' place, I can pretty much say no, to that.

[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. ]

[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]
