[Spade Siblings]

"Oh, that doesn't sound very pleasant," Leon sighed as he was spirited away. His curiosity had been peaked just by Clover's method of retrieving him and the fact that he had also gotten a hold of Johanna. He was quite aware of how his sister must be making quite a fuss, especially because of with whom she was left. At least Benvolio was there, right?

"I noticed that you haven't mentioned Nyuriel." That was marginally normal, though they were in a fairly private setting. The Cat must be hiding somewhere away from Clover.

~~~

"Bodyguard? Only the weak need bodyguards," Johanna declared, laughing at the other girl's foolish words.

Looking down at those present, Benvolio frowned slightly. There was definitely something different. Was there someone coming? There was a rising madness in area and he wasn't quite sure from where it was coming.

[Blood Brothers]

Amon was thrilled to pet the large cat, but Nanashi was not so thrilled to have said large cat sticking its head so close to what he was supposed to be protecting. The demon smiled and scratched Babbit nicely, making soft noises. When he did that, it made Nanashi rather nervous.

Actually, the entire situation was like that out of some alternate world. His nephew didn't seem to be the type to like soft, fluffy creatures, whether they were over ten times his size or not. At least Babbit seemed pleased.

Where was her friendly rider person? Perhaps he was still asleep since the vampire hadn't heard anything out of him. His fangs itched at the thought of helpless prey, fairly attractive helpless prey, at that.

Shaking his head, Nanashi yawned and thought better of sipping on anybody but those given to him. This way made him feel like a minor god, blood sacrifices and all, but the lack of devoted followers reminded him that it was just business.

[Samir]

Babbit purred. And purred loudly vibrating the smaller demon.
She had layed down allowing the smaller to climb on heror to easer hug her. If the moment came up she would play but very gently on using on of her gaint paws with her claws in and bumped her noes. Never openig her mouth. She nade sure to glare at the vampire looking like a mother protecting her yunge type of look. or maybe it was the look of don't take my intertainment or ill hurt you look.
Hard to tell with babbits looks.

Samir rolled over in bed...finaly things started to quit down. He feel back into a deep sleep.

[Blood Brothers]

Nanashi hadn't been around kids very much and most definitely not around any demon children such as his nephew, but he figured that if Amon wanted to play with Babbit he probably wasn't going to end up as cat food. Also if he was having to tiptoe around as some proper guest, then the big cat probably wasn't going to eat his nephew.

The demon had hopped off his lap already and was petting Babbit enthusiastically, still making those soft noises that were making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. Had he mentioned that his nephew gave him the creeps?!

Shuffling away from them, Nanashi decided to go poke around and see if he could find Samir to ask about that cat. Right, about the cat, that's what he'd do. It wasn't that hard, really, since the beds were only separated by simple, temporary partitions in the form of screens. The vampire settled down on the edge of the bed, smiling slightly at how peacefully the part-elf was sleeping.

He'd never tasted elf.

[Smoke + Mirrors]

"The target has been sighted," Lieutenant FluffyTail reported, peeking through the window cautiously. Private BigPaws was working the bell with Private FarSeeing on one side and Private FarHearing on the other as lookouts. On the fourth floor in the castle was Second Lieutenant Bob as their far-sighter, who was watching from above for the Scout, Skippy, to get back from trailing Clover.

"He's too far up for the attack to be coincidental, so hold your positions. Hopefully, Mercutio can get him down before Clover gets back. We've got to chase him out of the Kingdom before Nyuriel gets back, toms!" The Siamese Twins saluted him and went back to keeping watch.

[Clover]

::Clover nearly trip on it's own shoes, chuckling it looked back at Leon. It's eyes were a bit hazed while it thought about it.::

He must of left sometime during the night, you know how he doesn't like to be around strangers. We haven't quite fought as often, I think with the Queen of hearts and the King missing we've gone even more mad...

::Clover stated finally reaching it's home kingdom::

--

Mercutio stood and walked back towards the cage, taking in a deep breath he smiled.

"Come on Benvolio, for the sake of your princes. If you come down you might get lucky and ask Clover to bring back the prince without having to give Clover nothing in return."

Mercutio added, the green haired thing was bound to ask for something, but if Mercutio advice him not to then it wouldn't. A nice trade of work.

[S-O-Y]

Clover had disappeared quickly and without the mentioning of the answer to Oraku's question. How rude..., he thought as his eyes looked over to the one they pronounced as Mercutio. He was rather good looking, his form nice and attitude...proper. At least that was how he seemed. He had to remember he was in Wonderland now. Not everything was what it came off to be. But then again...He was a perfect example of that phrase entirely. Looking around the dome shaped room, he noticed that it was entirely white, the black cage of metal sticking out like a starting of renovation for a torture chamber. He snickered at the thought as a smile crossed his lips. He turned to look back to the window where Mercutio stood at. It seemed he was the one in charge now the way he told the news of the "it" child. This was an odd world.

Finally becoming bored of the screaming and hissing, he exhaled slowly and walked over to the window. The previous night had masked a lot of the outside world here in Wonderland to him, so to see it in daylight, he thought it would be more promising. He wasn't. Yes it was miraculous how everything was magnified almost to the riches beauty known, but the odd part of it all seemed to be that everything was twisted now. Plants, animal (if thats what you called them), and people seemed to be morphing into something more awkward than before. It was truely a god send that he was not of this world. It was just to busy for his taste anyways.

He looked to the side and made eye contact with the one standing beside him, Mercutio.

"Say...Would there happen to be any gardens around here?", he asked smoothly, his voice soft but penetrating. 

[Spade Siblings]

"Or maybe you're becoming more sane! You might even be approaching the point where you can admit that you like each other," Leon chirped, smiling widely and giggling. "Hurry up! I can't wait to see all the adorable, green kittens!"

Ok, so perhaps that was hoping for too much, too soon, but he couldn't help it. The faster those two realized and accepted that they both felt the same about one another, the faster everyone's frustrations about the situation dissipated. To Leon, it was mostly kind of sad, but he couldn't just smack them and reveal their "deepest secret".

Neither one would accept it as truth.

~~~

"I - er... but then," Benvolio tried to argue but couldn't, as per usual. With great care, he slid off the cage and dropped to his feet, glancing back at Johanna curiously when she didn't say anything. It was as if she was waiting for something.

[Clover]

Mercutio felt a shot of chills go down his spine was the male spoke to him, glancing over he smiled softly. Gardens the only one that kept any was Clover, and that was its secret stash as it called it. God only knew where it hid it's things. The other one was the Queen of Hearts who had a bundle of roses everywhere.

"Well, only one Royal keeps a huge garden. We, and the Spades like the grass and hardly ever grow flowers thanks to the greedy Queen of Hearts."

Mercutio spoke in a rather dark tone, he really didn't like the Queen of Hearts. She let to much go to her big, fat, head. Thanks to that half of the people would lose theirs. Mercutio looked over and smiled holding his hand out to Benvolio.

"See, now you are just fine my man. I'll try to look after you from now on... no promises though. I have no idea what Clover is planning so... yeah."


---

::Clover's face flushed, it started to sort of stater. Hair covering the lime eyes, no way Leon hand't just said what it thought Leon had just said. Chuckling nervesly Clover shook it's head.::

Even if that dream where to come true, Nyuriel hates my guts and the Queen forbids it. She use the Hatter as a plain example... I don't want... I can't... for his sake and my own... It's madness Leon..

[Samir]

As Nanashi peered dpwn samir looked so peaceful his face so laxed and simple.
he had no warning faster then even a vampire could see he was suddenly on the ground with a very calm looking elf ontop of him straddleing his hips and his very sharp sword to his throat.
Samir hair still loose from its normal binding spread around his face framing it as he looked Nanashi in the eyes with his eyes still glazed over like in a daze. He was topless still allowing all to his his large animal made scares.
samir blinked suddenly becoming aware of what was going on pulling the blade away from the elder vampire throat.
"my apologies." samir sat up noteing tat he had nic the vampire some so he cover the wound with his thumb to help stop the bleeding.

"i should have warned you, im used to a feral place where things like to get you when you sleep.. so im a bit jumping when asleep. very sorry."
He still hadn't gotten up. the elf wasn't sure if he should set the vampre free.. since he was on his bed.. perhaps just to wake him up..
oh well..
Babbit kept playing with the demon child, its rather odd mewsing was actually something fun to hear to babbit. a sound she never heard before. was kinda fun.
She took no note of samir distress.. the elf could take care of himself.. since he was able to left her all 694 pounds of her. he could stand his own with a vampire

[blackcat]

She was quite happy to see that the man had climbed down from the cage, but thought it better not to say anything, as he obviously did not like her much.

She turned to the man who had just asked after the garden. 'Maybe I can be of some help. I happened to meet Clover in the garden as I came here. They truely are beautiful. I could take you there if you'd wish... sir.' She pauzed. 'I am sorry I seem to have missed the introductions as at the time I passed out.... or something of the sort'. She added the latter part in a soft whipser. She knew that she had not just been tired as normal, nor was that the feeling one experianced when one was about to faint.
She made a quick curtsy. 'My name is Madeline. What's yours?'

[Blood Brothers]

It was, really, a boon that Nanashi was so out of it or he might have bit the half-elf now straddling him. The last time that the vampire had been in such a situation, the person sitting astride him had been his lover. Just the thought of Zig was enough to draw a soft moan from him and the cut on his neck didn't help the situation as he was already half-hard from the assault.

This was the rather bad thing about being an old vampire. Pleasure was pleasure and all but mortal pain was pleasure, too.

"My, my, such a strong being," Nanashi purred, lifting one hand to brush away Samir's on what was a tiny slice a few seconds ago. It was already healed, thankfully, since the vampire wasn't that unwell. "I was just coming over here to ask you about that darling cat of yours since she's playing with my nephew and you tackle me like some sort of sexually hungry beast!"

Turning his head to the side and looking up at Samir from under his lashes, Nanashi smiled wickedly. His long hair had fanned out underneath him in a way that he knew looked sexy. This was one of his favorite tricks on those who had tried to best him before, but the vampire was quite aware that this was just for fun.

"I rather like it," he moaned softly, lifting his hips just enough to rub against the being on top of him.

Cooing at the large cat, Amon played with her fur, admiring its fascinating shade and stripes. The fur was soft and fluffy as it was most likely just cleaned. He couldn't wait to get back to his parents if only to ask for an awesome pet like Babbit.

[Smoke + Mirrors]

((OOC: Words in parenthesis can not be understood by characters unless they speak Wonderland cat speak. Be aware.))


"The target is open! I repeat, the target is open! Swarm the room, toms! Swarm!" The lieutenant yowled, jumping down from the window as BigPaws relayed the message and all the platoons popped out of their hiding places and made for the entrance. Stacking carefully, they flipped the latch and pushed open the doors, entering the room as quickly as they could, meowing loudly. Once they had enough in there, some near the entrance pushed the doors shut.

"(There's a big kitty,)" Private FarSeeing meowed, perched on the bed Nanashi and Amon had recently vacated. Many of those near Babbit were purring softly and watching the big cat and the kid.

"(I'm getting an echo from this one,)" Private FarHearing murmured curiously, pawing at Oraku's white boots. There was something alluring about the shoes that, oddly enough, made him want to chew on them.

"(The target has retreated to the top of Mercutio, sir,)" Private BigPaws mrowed, staring up at Benvolio calmly, with his tail swishing back and forth as he waited for new orders.

"(Well, that's just about what we expected. Good work, toms!)" FluffyTail declared with a sigh. The next part of the operation would be to get the man down and out. Perhaps they shouldn't have gotten so many operatives together for this one.

[Spade Siblings]

The audacity of the young woman surprised him as much as her bossiness had and it was as he was exchanging a distressed look with Mercutio about what to do about her that the doors burst open.

Then, suddenly, there were cats in the room - hundreds of them!

Before he knew what was going on, the Jack of Spades was pale and shaking in Mercutio's arms, eyes locked on the writhing mass of cats. Not a single sound escaped him and it was fairly obvious that it wouldn't take much more to make him faint.

~~~

"You're both so touchy about things, but as I've told you before I don't think he hates you," Leon insisted softly, hugging his friend around the neck as he was carried. "If only the Queen of Hearts wasn't in Wonderland, you two could work it out without having to resort to hiding behind Johanna as a last ditch effort."

[Samir]

Babbit stoped her purring.. to stare at the small cat on the bed. She almost glared but then again the sudden appernce of all these.. small things where a lil distracting. She stood picking up the small child gently in her mouth tossing her head to now put the kid on her back. Keeping him out of reach of the odd cats. She now just walcked around making it kinda fn for the small one.. as she assest what was going on. bating at a cat that got to close..

asmir stared down at the odd man looking terable cunfused.
"you like it?" he blinked not understanding, his hips rocked forward in surprise by the sudden pressence of the other.. and by somthing hard..
This really cunfused him. Maybe he should get off.. but he did say he liked it..
"oh wait babbit. is she being good?"
attenchion span of a cat

[blackcat]

[S-O-Y]

Oraku frowned at the mentioning of a Queen in this land. Women in authority always made him frown. They just didn't really understand how things could be done properly, at least in his opinion. There were plenty of reasons that held up his theory as well. But then again those were made up by him as well.

"The name is Oraku...", he said glancing at the woman known as Madeline made her introduction and asked for his. She was a lively girl, that he definitely knew right off the bat. Her smile was radiant and precious along with her feminine features that fit her physique oh so perfectly. He bowed as she curtsied.

"I would love to take a walk to one if you dont mind showing me out of this cat filled room. Where did all these come from?...", he suddenly asked as his eyes were filled with cat fur and his ears thundered meow's like gun fire. It seemed they were being raided almost...by cats. How odd...

"I am going to have to take my leave now. This is too much for me."

He nodded a goodbye gesture to the man at the window and the blonde beside him now. Walking past the cage with the girl inside, he shook his head once more as he proceeded to the now open door, cats were still running in and out as he exited. The surroundings he was now in though threw him for a loop. Everything was so much more colorful, almost too colorful. The trees shown like shards of green glass and brown brass. Walkways gleamed bright like marble, and the house and high castle walls towered around him as though he were just a mere collectible in a shadow box, but here there were no shadows. At least not at this hour. He leaned against the wall and looked up to the sky. All was blue along with cotton ball clouds and plenty of sunshine. How long had it been since he saw this much light?

Oraku....where are you?, a dark voice seeped into his mind's state suddenly, his posture straightening quickly as though a drill Sergent had thundered an order. He closed his eyes as he began telling the voice what was going on.

[Blood Brothers]

The man's facial expression and reaction put him off - a lot - so, shaking his head and sighing, Nanashi softly pushed Samir off of him and stood, offering the being a hand up. Those types just weren't as fun anymore, really, not to him. When he was free to feed and fuck as he wished, Samir would have been on his back, naked, before he could blink.

Now, though, the vampire smiled lightly and patted the shoulder under his hand with a soft chuckle before dragging him over to the others in their awkward circle.

"Kitties! Lookit all the kitties," Nanashi cooed, scooping up one with remarkably large paws to show his nephew, and nearly giggled at how Babbit was reacting to all the small, furry creatures. "I wanna call this one Georgie Fransisco Bavarian BigPaws. Don't you think that would be his name, Sami?"

Cradling the cat, the vampire waved the cats paws at the half-elf, still snickering. That's when he heard some odd static, but he couldn't quite figure out from where it was coming. Amon merely smirked and patted Babbit soothingly, highly amused by the turn of events and, especially, Benvolio's reaction.

[Smoke + Mirrors]

"(I've been abducted, sir,)" Private BigPaws nearly whimpered into the bell around his neck, being carried awkwardly by the rather tall vampire. The cats thinned a bit around the people as a platoon exited to watch the strangely echoing man, keeping to the shadows and making sure there was a bit of distance between their target and them. He had been rather rude, fleeing like that and breaking through their perimeter without even a shred of decency to even ask if he could leave. They were in the middle of a major assignment, couldn't he see?

"(Hold your position, soldier,)" Lieutenant FluffyTail sighed, knowing that he couldn't just pad up to the long-haired male and ask him to put the private down nicely. "(Give the big cat some room, toms. She doesn't seem too happy with our presence and we don't want to spook her. Paws like that would make us look like pebbles against a shovel. Somebody start prodding Mercutio forward. We've got to get the target outside.)"

"(I'll do it!)" Private FarSeeing insisted, rushing over to the Jack's feet, followed quickly by his sibling.

"(No, I'll do it!)" Private FarHearing contradicted, pushing in front of his twin and pawing at Mercutio in an attempt to move him. "(Move, brother!)"

"(No, you move, brother!)" Hissing at one another, they chased each other around the brunette's legs. One Siamese twin slammed into the other and they rolled around a bit, yowling.

"(Shut up! I'll do it or you'll both be put up with Bob and I'll have Scaredy replace you since he'd be more use than you two,)" the lieutenant growled, marching over to Mercutio and batting at the back of his calves with claws extended. This tactic was meant to send the person forward without causing much damage, but to make sure the person knew that he meant business.

[Samir]

Samir made an 'ack' sound but fallowd not waning his arm to be pulled off. Once he was let go thow he went right to tieing his hair up in a long pony. So that he wouldent look to un-presentable. Even thow he was still without his poncho.
He blinked at the cat and chukled at how tiny and pissed off it looked.
"he look more like minie trouble." he reached out t pat  the small felines head gently..

Babbit.. officle was irritated with all these small creaters mewing and yeorwing and what note. She gave a loud room shaking roar, one that showed off her enitre teeth set, also making all her muscles flex showing her power.

[Clover]

Mercutio looked about him, again? everything was going on so quickly the cats had gotten better, much better feeling the paws behind him he inch forward a bit. It was rather uncomfortable to be strike by tiny sharp nails, looking at his pale friend he sighted. Bevolio was going to be in a world of pain if he set him down. He was all for scaring his friend but when it came to real danger he didn't care much for it. Holing him a little tighter Mercutio kept his friend up and above everyone. Walking a bit forward again he saw the male walking away and out of the room.

Clover wasn't going to be pleased but what could he do? Johanna was going to stay in the cage, she seemed bemused with all the cats. Shaking slightly and knowing full well the Benvolio's nails will soon be penetrating his back and neck he heard the roar of the larger cat which sent shivers down his spine. If he didn't know any better, he would think that the larger cat was becoming rather jelose of all the tiny ones.

[blackcat]

Awoken out of her trance by the big cats roar she suddenly came to herself. This was not exactly the time to reminisce about the past or to feel sorry for herself. She noticed that there was a tiny cat which striking its claws at Mercutio... Something he did not seem to appreciate much. She walked towards the kitty, picked it up by the neck, whilst saying 'Bad kitty!' She placed the cat in her arms in such a way that it could not scratch her too badly and started patting it on the head and scratching it under the chin, in an attempt to calm it down. 'Now, now we don't stick our little claws out to people, do we? You're such a cute little kitty!'

[Spade Siblings]

"Well, get him out of here, Mercutio," Johanna snarled, managing to poke her foot out of the cage just enough to give the Jack a little push towards the door. Glaring at him, she smoothed down her skirt with just a hint of a blush on her cheeks. She was acting so common and it was starting to get on her nerves.

If she had thought about it, the Princess of Spades would have swatted him with the flat of her sword.

"Please," Benvolio whimpered, clinging to his friend as if his life depended on it. With how some of the cats were looking at him, it very well might. The one now in the blond girl's arms looked like he was ready and willing to eat his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti if he could just get free.

~~~

"Clover?" Leon cooed, concerned that his friend had just frozen like that. Wonderland was in an uproar, he knew that, but what could have happened that could be so bad while he was gone?

[Smoke + Mirrors]

The cats around Babbit scattered, eying her warily to see if she was aggressive. There was now a path from where Mercutio stood to the doors, still hanging open from when Oraku had left the room against all warnings.

"(Put me down, miss,)" Lt. FluffyTail insisted, but the girl didn't seem to realize she was being addressed. The situation was becoming rather dire in a stupid way and he was being subdued by a little, blond girl. "(Miss, I said for you to let me go. I have a mission to complete. I don't want to have you sniped, but I will if you do not release me.)"

"(Private Bob says he's got her in his sights, sir. Vampire hands are surprisingly cold, sir. I just needed you to know, sir,)" Private BigPaws mewled, squirming against the firm hold. At least the guy knew to support his back end or the cat would be having some serious words with him at a later date - and by words, he meant K.I.T.T.Y. bombs.

"(Privates,)" the lieutenant purred, eyes drooping as his head lolled to the side. "(It's up to you.)"

"(Yes, sir!)" Saluting their commanding officer, Private FarSeeing and FarHearting lined up behind Mercutio. "(Ready, brother?)"

"(Ready, brother.)" They crouched, eyes dilating and rear ends wiggling as they prepared to attack. At the same time, the Siamese cats sprung at the Jack's legs, clinging and biting.

[Samir]

Babbit stomic suddenly gave a grrr.. giving the cat around her a small warning before she longe after the twin cats that wher elonging for sombody els, one larg paw swipped them out of the way as she then went after anouther feline.
She was pissed at how small they where, and how they kept prancing about making those cute sounds. CLEARY pissed her off, plus she was hungry  and they where a perfect snack size.
"BABBIT!" samir gasped grabbing up the small demon child rideing her as she bounded away. He set him down gently beside his vampire friend.
"Stay here lil friend.. babbit throwing a tantrum." as he said that he walched a cat fly by his head. She hadent land a killing blow just knocking them around a bit. With a sigh samir  throw himself at her jaws  wrapping both hands around them snapping them closed inches away from a small cat head, then useing his body he literly flipped her over onto her stomic and held her still.
"im sorry babbit." samir  sighed. he dident like to do this too her.. he know she was very stressed from everything going on around her.. new sights new smells, odd food. These lil cats just set her off.
She still struggled under her master grip  clawing at him with her nails out.. so fair samir would have been able to dodge
