Return to Wonderland [Active]

Character(s): Cid and Alice
Content: After tiring of doing nothing, Cid and Alice head to Wonderland. But what awaits them in there?
Setting: Wonderland
Time: Week 43, morning/afternoon
Warnings: Violence, possible mentions of abuse

The city Alice had grown fond of was gone, and in its place nothing but rubble and bitterness. The citizens hadn't so much as allowed Alice to buy supplies, nor would they allow her or anyone else not originally of the city shelter. They'd been reduced to sleeping outside, something Alice, even in London, had not been used to, and of searching for food. Luckily for them, Cid had supplies, but they couldn't last forever. Something needed to be done, and Alice believed that Wonderland, as ever, held some of the answers.

So it was that one morning, Cid and Alice had begun the long trek to the church. The trip had been made mostly in silence - how was Alice to tell her companion that Wonderland had only ever existed in her mind before? How was she to know whether this place was a dream, or a delusion? But they could not simply sit and do nothing. So it was, when they reached the church, they had stopped in Destiny Islands to rest, bathe and gather food. Cid had gone fishing, and Alice had gathered some fruit and mushrooms and a coconut or two - no easy feat for her, as she was unused to climbing trees any longer. Perhaps they would find some game in Wonderland, but one could never tell, and Alice hadn't the slightest idea as to how to hunt. Finally, they reached Wonderland, and Alice nearly held her breath as she looked at their surroundings.

"Here we are," she said at last. "I expect we may find more questions than answers here, but it can't be worse than sleeping in the rubble." Could it?

Without anything of great interest to speak to, Cid fell silent. He was, of course, still keeping an eye out for anything that might try to attack them but that was all but par for the course. You didn't save the world without killing more than a few monsters on the way, and he was pretty certain that was true in just about all the worlds out there.

Sure, he'd noticed that Alice seemed to be nervous about something, but hell, he was pretty sure he wasn't qualified to deal with that sort of thing past alternately swearing at it and doing his best to insist that things were going to be fine. Thus better to not even try, as far as he was concerned at the moment. Either whatever she was concerned about would happen or it wouldn't and him saying otherwise wouldn't help.
