[ Peter is, of course, generally confused until Phoenix clarifies. He listens carefully. Whatever happened to him, that glowing mark through his glove wasn't there before, so perhaps Phoenix can piece one thing and another together... ]

I suppose you have a point. It's simply that... I've never thought about anything else. The people in Wonderland... most of them do not have faces. The 'laws' of our country... all there really is happens to be the game itself.

People like me, who have roles, also have faces. The role is more valued than anything else, aside from the role-holder's clock...

[ He seems to be considering this. ] When people die, all that is left is their clocks. Julius fixes them. When the clock is fixed, then their life is simply reset. There isn't any change occurring... but you and Alice come from similar worlds... I suppose I should try to respect that. If I die, though, it's unimportant. What is taboo for us is breaking a clock beyond repair.

[ Peter pauses once more, it's clear he's never really had this explained to him, so his confusion can at least, be expected. ] ... I suppose so. Alice... would be mad with me if I let someone from her world die. You have what doesn't exist like she does, and... she needs company from her world, too, I think.

... Blood is a horrible man. He's tried to seduce Alice--I know he doesn't love her--and he broke the biggest rule anyone could break. I would rather he not do the same here like he did with March. It's... simply part of my job. I work for the Queen of Hearts--I cannot let a sworn enemy do something that would upset Alice. Especially since even Vivaldi seems to like her... it's because Alice is like you. She doesn't have a clock. She has a heart.

[A hand moves to rub the back of his neck as he thinks over what Peter said. It's so confusing really, to think of another world except his own, but he figures he must get used to if he's going to be staying in Vatheon. He murmurs to himself.] It must be weird not to have a face...

Your hearts are clocks? [This ... interests him greatly actually. He had never heard of something like that and his eyes glance down to Peter's chest, wondering idly if it really did sound like the ticking of a clock.] But, when you say their life is reset, do they come back as... just how they were? With the same memories and feelings? Or are they "born" again? If you were to die, would you come back just how you are? Would you still have memories of your... Alice?

The biggest rule...? Did he break a clock? [Frowning now at the mention of Blood. If that man is how Peter describes him, Phoenix will be sure to watch him. He doesn't understand some of the things Peter refers to but still, he was doing something that Phoenix could respect. Protecting people.] I think... you will have to get used to people having hearts, because it seems there will be a lot more of them here then people with clocks, such as yourself. You can't protect each of them because Alice wants you to.

[1/2]

I... suppose I'm the foreigner now. [ Peter seems to be considering this. ] It's strange--I have never left my country. I left my world once to bring Alice back with me...

But... don't mistake me. That... doesn't mean I have to like all of you. [ Peter couldn't be completely changed. Not really. ] ... It's simply that you have faces. So I can respect that... And I guess let them live.

[ As for those other questions, well, he... looks taken aback. ] ... What makes you so curious? But... well, no, I... suppose not. But our roles would be the same... and a different appearance, probably, but if your role is thrust upon you, you have to follow it, so it doesn't matter. Besides, it would be that person's clock, after all... it's not as though they're gone.

I'd probably remember Alice. I could never forget her! [ He looks completely sure about that. ]

[2/2]

[stalker_rabbit]

[ Now, he had been changed. Normally he broke a lot of rules--lately, at least--and could care less. However... now he was responsible. And he cared. It was... odd. ]

Of course! Elliot March--The March Hare. Someone very important died, and instead of letting his clock be fixed... he broke it so that person could never be reborn.

[ He sighs, ears folding down in disdain. ] And Blood Dupre... the Hatter. He's protecting him; he broke him out of the Clock Tower where he was imprisoned. Worse still, he's his right-hand man.

... They're dangerous, especially March.

[notguiltyplz]

That's all I ask for really. I mean, how will you ever make friends if you're going to go around shooting them? [He smirks, hands resting in his hoodie pockets as he speaks.] Unless of course, you don't want to make friends, but really how will you get anywhere if you don't? Especially in such a strange world like this. It's all about networking really.

You can't be sure that you'd remember Alice, and even so -- would she remember you? You'd have the same role, the same clock, but are you sure you'll have the same face? The same personality? Does she love your role and your clock, or does she love you? [A shrug, and his smirk stays put.] Food for thought really, you don't have to answer.

[The smirk finally fades at this, a frown replacing and he pulls his hands out to cross his arms, his foot tapping.] So, they're law breakers? That's disgusting. I'll be sure to keep away from them.

[stalker_rabbit]

... What... exactly is a friend supposed to be? And shooting people is normal fare for us. Even acquaintances.

[ Peter looks a little dejected when he considers it, but forces a smile. ] ... O-of course she likes me! She must. She visited me all the time! She's meant to be with me, of course. That's why I brought he back with me. And I put her into our game! She's just stubborn, that's all.

[ One of his ears twitches at Phoenix's mention toward what he said--good. The less people around Blood, the less he could do. ]

[notguiltyplz]

[He blinks, once, twice, before furrowing his brows and just staring at Peter. He ... really did not expect that.] A friend is... a person you can trust... a person you can come to when you're feeling lonely or hurt. A friend is a comrade, an equal, a person who makes you feel happy when you're sad, or calm when you're angry. It's a person you can go to in times of need and who can come to you during the same. [He gives a sigh and scratches his head.] It's hard to explain what a friend is, but when you have one, you'll know.

[He raises an eyebrow at the stutter and the word 'like' instead of 'love' but does nothing, save for giving a small smirk.] Stubborn, huh? You and Alice must really be in love with each other... right? Since she came with you back to your world and all.

... her, not he. derpderp.

[stalker_rabbit]

[ ... What. What? It's not that odd, is it? ] I... see.

[ ... Gnrk. There's some hint of that usual stubbornness on his part to not accept the truth--that she can't love him, it's forbidden--but... ]

W-well... of course!

Peter and Phoenix friendship, GET!

[notguiltyplz]

[He watches his reaction before sighing and rolling his eyes.] If you want, I can be your friend. As long as you promise not to shoot me. [Really, it was a win-win. Phoenix stayed alive and Peter got a friend! Even though this current Phoenix is doing this for survival, it... might work out in the long run!]

[He just smiiiiirrrkkks at you, Peter. Just smirking before giving a small chuckle.] If you say so~♪

EVEN IF IT'S AN ODD ONE (p.s. fuck you LJ)

[stalker_rabbit]

[ Stubborn rabbit is stubborn, so he's not good at being friendly. There's a light huff, and he sighs. ] ... Fine.

[ Kfjhgjfh stop that! It reminds him of Ace's smiles. It's WEIRD. ] Alice has been through so much--it doesn't matter in the end as long as she's... happy. And if Alice is happy, then so am I.

[ Which is more him telling himself this than anything else, but details. She had to love him! She just didn't KNOW it yet. ... Yeah! ]

ODD IS ANOTHER WORD FOR AWESOME

[notguiltyplz]

[He gives a nod in response to the 'fine' and hums in thought.] You would do anything for Alice, wouldn't you?

[stalker_rabbit]

Absolutely anything!

[ Ehee hee. This is the side of Peter very few people really see--which is why so many remark 'he's really been changed by Alice'. ]

[notguiltyplz]

[Blink blink blink. He's just blinking at you, Peter, before deciding that he is not going to continue this line of conversation because he does not want to see that again.]

Then she must love you very much.

[stalker_rabbit]

... She does. Probably. She's just forgotten, that's all.

[ Peter, that isn't going to make any sense to him. Oh, wait. He's from Wonderland. His normal is weird to your normal, isn't it? ]

[notguiltyplz]

[Rubbing his face, he sighs, realizing this is getting him nowhere with his badge.]

Hey White, I'm going to go try and ask around for my badge. Nice talking to you, don't worry about guarding me -- I'm pretty sure I can manage on my own.

[He takes a few steps back before giving a wave as he begins to walk off.] See you.

[stalker_rabbit]

[ You get a look of confusion, but. ... Okay. ]

... If I come across it, Mr. Wright, I will give it to you.

[ :D ]
