sure, i’ll stay.

[ not like he has much of a choice! at least cheshire is staying too, hopefully it’s a little less awkward. ]
April 12, 2025 at 1:42 PM
well… seems like that was a bust.

[ masumi sighs, seeming equally confused. ]

back to square one, i guess.
April 12, 2025 at 11:41 AM
thank you…

[ masumi’s gaze flickers between the two, seeming a bit cautious.

well… this was a fun little trip. masumi starts to drink the tea. ]
April 11, 2025 at 1:33 AM
[ masumi shrugs. ]

if that worked before, it might work again.
April 9, 2025 at 1:52 AM
hello…

i’m sure you’ve noticed i look like alice, but we’re not the same person. i have some of alice’s memories though, so you don’t have to catch me up on much.
April 8, 2025 at 12:33 PM
[ yikes, why is he a little intimidating? ]

yeah, got it.

[ they continue on their way! ]
April 8, 2025 at 12:04 PM
hm? oh, sure.

[ masumi pauses, letting cheshire do… whatever it is he needs to do. ]
April 8, 2025 at 11:44 AM
[ why is he suddenly thinking about harugaoka. anyway. masumi nods, following the sound down the path. ]
March 26, 2025 at 3:10 AM
i guess that’s true…

[ they walk a bit longer. ]

are we getting close?

[ he didn’t think about the size of wonderland, how big it might be. ]
March 24, 2025 at 11:24 PM
alright.

[ masumi makes his way out of the tree and heads down the path, following cheshire’s directions. wonderland was already pretty, but moreso after it’s rained. ]

is it weird i just… didn’t expect there to be rain here? like weather didn’t exist or something?
March 24, 2025 at 3:08 AM
yeah, sure.

[ as cheshire dozes off, masumi watches the rain fall for a while. he can’t help but wonder why he ended up here…

masumi sleeps for a while too, and wakes up when the sun is bright in the sky. he gently nudges the sleeping cat. ]

hey… sun’s out.
March 24, 2025 at 12:11 AM
my name is masumi.

[ his quiet again for another moment, considering what to say next. ]

sorry that i’m… not the alice you remember.
March 23, 2025 at 10:12 PM
ah—

[ oh dear. masumi’s still been playing into the whole alice thing, huh? ]

well… i’m alice, but i’m also not. i’m different from the one you met before, but i have his memories and stuff.

[ that’s so weird to say, but it kinda fits this world? ]

technically, i’m a new visitor. i think.
March 23, 2025 at 3:27 PM
[ masumi stays quiet for a bit, just kinda observing the cat in his lap. ]

….so um. you were starting to say something before?
March 23, 2025 at 1:56 AM
[ ough, yikes. masumi nods, eyes a little wide. ]

got it. not a word.

[ oh, he wants to pet the kitty cheshire though. he’s undeniably cute. ]
March 23, 2025 at 1:42 AM
[ masumi jumps, startled too. he blinks and… oh, that sure is a cat. he just kinda stares down at them for a moment. he knew cheshire was indeed a cat, but this is unexpectedly— ]

…cute.
March 23, 2025 at 1:04 AM
[ they’re close together, but that’s okay, he thinks. at least they’re out of the rain, watching as it starts pouring down. ]

glad you knew this spot was here…
March 20, 2025 at 10:54 PM
hm?

[ masumi finally noticed the clouds, making a face. ]

should we find some shelter?
March 19, 2025 at 1:12 AM
‘kay.

[ masumi’s quiet, following cheshire through the forest. it’s strange… this is almost exactly how he envisioned wonderland, just a larger version of their set. it’s still weird to actually be here, though. ]
March 14, 2025 at 1:49 AM
[ masumi sighs. this will be a *long* journey back home. ]

would you help me again? …please?
March 13, 2025 at 1:26 AM
i suppose it will. and… i’m guessing you’ll be helping once again?
March 9, 2025 at 1:41 PM
yeah… something like that. seems like i just got thrown down a rabbit hole again.
March 9, 2025 at 6:20 AM
[ damn, that sure was a fall. how did that even happen? masumi can’t even remember what he was doing before this. but this forest is sure looking familiar… ]

—?!

[ that voice… masumi looks around to spot cheshire. ]

that depends on what you’re seeing, doesn’t it?
March 9, 2025 at 6:05 AM
why
February 28, 2025 at 3:29 PM
you’re saying that like i’m not
