Application (The March Hare - Alice in Wonderland)

Mar 14, 2010 12:28

The large doors to the Sorting Room opened and in stumbled a frazzled hare in a waistcoat. He was stressed to find no dining table or tea anywhere. He couldn’t smell the delectables of pancakes and muffins, of cookies and sugar, of dates and pudding. He took out his pocket watch, staring at the hands. He moved in to sniff the glass face mutter ( Read more... )

Okay so, Kuronue liked hanging around the sorting Room on the off chance pretty females appeared (unlikely) or pretty males (very likely) so he could indulge in some flirting and compliment-fishing.

It was the first time he'd seen a rodent appear. And it was wearing clothes. He tilted his head and crouched down by the animal, resting his elbows on his knees. "Down with what 'bloody big head?'" Kuronue asked, trying to resist his instinct that told him the Hare was prey.

"BLOODY BIG HEAD?" he shrieked and fell to the floor in a tight ball of jitters, his large yellow eye peeping through his paws. His pocket watch fell from his waist coat pocket and clanked against the stones. He shook, whimpering to himself in a shaky tone, "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle... heh, heh."

Well...Kuronue tried to keep his face straight. While some might have been amused or wary of the Hare's nervousness and eccentricities, he was reminded of the way he acted when he was first released from his chains. Insanity, desperation, were not strangers to him. He decided to change the subject.

He reached forward with long fingers and drew the pocket watch closer to him, moving slowly, then picked it up and surveyed the face. It wasn't ticking. "It's broken," he declared, his eyes flicking from the watch to the Hare. He held it out for the Hare to take back.

"Time is broken," declared the March Hare. "It was the Mad Hatter's doing." He added scathingly. He accepted the watch back and, as the March Hare's face was reflected in the glass of the watches face, it cracked, springs protruding out from tiny seals in its craftsmanship. The Hare's face fell, he glared at the ridiculous pocket watch and proceeded to mend it by biting it with his teeth and applying pressure with his paws, shoving the springs back in and clicking the pieces back in place. The glass of the watches face remained cracked. The bribe was looking dismal.

Kirney raised an eyebrow. "Maybe you should look into a drink with a little less stimulant in it. You seem a little--ah, twitchy."

The Hare giggled, stroking his ears and pulling them down to meet his neck, then letting them go again. "Tea?" He muttered something and giggled again, his eyes bulging as the giggle transformed into a guffaw. He laughed so hard over nothing, he fell over backwards.

Miranda had been having a hard day and seeing the new occupant of the Sorting Room didn't help. She didn't even bother reading the application and marched right up to the offender.

"Now just who are you supposed to be?" she asked "Peter Rabbit? Benjamin Bunny? That's just..." great. I have to deal with someone from one of those annoying children's books. Just what I need- more rape of my childhood.

The onslaught took the Hare by surprise, he hiccuped, picked up his ladle and yelled, "YOU'RE LATE FOR TEA!" and threw the ladle, it flew across the room and clanged against the stone wall, clattering to a halt on the flagstone floor. The March Hare twitched, his neck tweaking.

miranda_bnewski March 18 2010, 14:07:40 UTC

Miranda ducked. "What tea?" she asked, noticing the March Hare's twitichiness.

*sigh.*

"There, there. It's ok. The Hat's probably just kidnapped you. Welcome to Hogwarts, stay away from the food at parties, avoid randy strangers, etc, etc..."

She leaned down to look more closely. "You are ok, yes?"

ticketyhare March 27 2010, 06:36:41 UTC

The Hare tried to calm itself. It took some moments but he soon only jittered... slightly. He nodded shakily and sighed. "Thank you miss, I am sure TEA," he grunted, "will be on its way, and I may soon leave this room." He nodded, and soon was only nodding to himself, to reassure such possibilities in his fragile mind.

A pixie, no more than four inches high, zipped into the Sorting room, his wings clattering and buzzing. Pixie dust, in the form of golden sparkles, sifted down as he read the application while standing on it in his best Peter Pan pose.

"Turn me, what is it about this place and talking animals?" he muttered. "Hey, you're just going to scare the hell out of the house elves," Jenks called. "Settle down and I'll see if they can get you some tea."

ticketyhare March 17 2010, 02:18:32 UTC

The March Hare nodded, but not after yanking his ears down and having his eyes bug out and teeth jitter. Tea was dangerous.

pixie_jenks March 18 2010, 23:43:22 UTC

"Um yeah. We'll see if they have decaf."

He circled the hare's head, still scattering shining pixie dust all over. "So.. tea, huh?"

ticketyhare March 27 2010, 06:38:46 UTC

The Hare stared off for a second, only to be brought back with a violent sneeze brought on my pixie dust. He went crossed eye as he stared at his nose, he sniffed. "Tea, yes... tea." He said.

Maddie's not terribly fond of sortings. She gets thrown at the weird things.

She's not fond of her mun either. The mun is sure that if she were aware of it, she'd ask for a new mun.

This mun loves Maddie though...more after rewatching the series again.

But, Maddie doesn't want to be at another crazy sorting. Which is, of course, why she's here.

"You seem rather obsessed," she says, trying to ignore the fact she's talking to a rabbit.

ticketyhare March 27 2010, 06:42:37 UTC

The Hare stared, long and hard, at Maddie. Until, something only amusing in his mind, made his composure crack and next thing he was giggling hysterics. He took in quick breaths that squeaked in the midst of his laughter. Then he was normal again. He sniffed and looked around. He sniffed the air about Maddie, maybe she had tea? he inwardly queried.

"Obsessed?" His ear twitched. "Thanks very much, nah," he went into giggles again, stroking his hands down his face.

noseymaddie March 27 2010, 12:47:35 UTC

Maddie backed away slowly.

Only, really, in the sorting room, this doesn't get you anywhere really.

Poor Maddie, to have the mun she does.

"Not obsessed," she says, agreeing with the crazy....wabbit...errr....rabbit...hare. "No, of course not. Just very fond of tea, then?" she ventures.

ticketyhare March 28 2010, 02:46:28 UTC

Tea. He sighed. It seemed that tea was not available. Yet? Or maybe the castle was against him, that these people were against him. Would such strangers deny him something as sweet and lovely as tea? He flopped onto the flagstones and looked up at Maddie with a longing air. "Tea," he whispered, nodding to his obvious fondness and perhaps border-line fanatics.
