Eighteen cups of tea

[call_me_hatter]

[Hatter's out at the cemetery on a bench near a set of graves. While he was more than a little surprised to see a couple of them there for various reasons - he didn't know one of them had died; another isn't entirely his to mourn, and it feels a little wrong to do it without Alice with him -, he's done what he can for all the ones he recognizes and is now standing over a certain one. For this one, he had asked the ghosts for a certain tea set, a certain variety of tea that he's only ever seen in Wonderland, and a plate of slightly stale tea biscuits. He has a cup of the same tea in hand, though he's not actually drinking it.

and after a while, outloud...]

Never wanted it down to you and me, March, but you knew early on it'd end that way. Sorry you never thought enough of me to realize which of us would come out on top.
