Chapter I : The laugh of a lunatic
Chapter Two : The laugh of a lunatic.
A slightly upturned nose twitched, fingers tapped against the hard surface of a table as said nose scrunched up in slight distaste, looking at the lined up newbies with barely contained annoyance. Thin fingers ruffled white blonde hair before he drew in a few deep breaths, calming himself before he would snap at the newcomers. After all, it wasn’t really their fault they did not know how to go about in this world. Glancing at his side, he made sure that Dormouse was beside him, finding slight surprise in the fact that there was not only Dormouse but also Mouse. A pale brow rose at the sight of the two tittering together and for a while, he had to remind himself not to tell those two to leave, since they obviously were not helping. His nose scrunched up once again as he turned back to the newbies, for they had finally begun quieting down, making it possible for him not to raise his voice that much. With one last imperious gaze at the gathered herd of humans, the White Rabbit began his well known speech.
”Welcome, to the land of Somnium. I am the White Rabbit, one of the Quadrille, and to welcome you also we have the Dormouse and the Mouse. We will be your primary guides, and for the next few weeks, we will monitor you and see to it that you understand the rules and do not break them, for these rules are set in stone. If you fail to obey them, you will be kicked out before you have even tasted the wonders of Somnium. I will list all of your names to see if my data is correct, and then we shall go over the base rules,” the voice was calm, even if the speaker fidgeted slightly, the carrot in-between his teeth did truly nothing to affect his words, maybe making them slightly unintelligible to those in the far back. But that was what the headgear was for, even if those idiots had no idea how to use it yet.
”The rules are relatively simple. First, do not cause distress to other’s in any form. If we get any reports of misbehaviour, we will find those responsible and question them, then decide the course of action. Second, if we find any hints of illegal transport or other illegal activities, your life will be reset and you will be given to the Somnian Quadrille members, and they will have all of the power. We have no jurisdiction in these matters, so we will not even lift a finger. Third, it is quite wise to use common sense, as it applies here as well,” the Rabbit’s tone was starting to get rather bored, as he went on. ”For minor misconducts, you will receive negative points and for good deeds, you will receive positive points. You start with a zero, and if your points go lower than 50, then you will be given a warning and if you do not improve, then you will be kicked out without a chance to return back. The cross-”
”Isn’t it true that there is a loophole in that rule?” Some daredevil had apparently become rather shameless in the course of this lecture, and dared to ask a question. The head of the moderator snapped to look at the idiot, and immediately he ran a background check on her. Of course, she had a point. There was a loophole there, and even in this group there were some who had been kicked out but who had been re-admitted due to their wide knowledge of inner networks.
”Miss Port, there are no loopholes, and it is rude to ask something without asking for permission to speak. It was very rude of you. And to all of you, there are no loopholes, understood?” Irritation radiated from the usually calm voice, and a slight twitch of his nostril issued. The crowd became quiet all somewhat puzzled by how to ask for permission, even the annoying little bint who had dared question the rules. Making a mental note to admit the lady for special surveillance for the first few months to see if she began to do something too idiotic to be true, he felt somewhat accomplished. Rabbit wouldn’t have put it past her, he really wouldn’t have. Especially now that one had arisen, the whole group started making a loud ruckus, driving the Rabbit’s level of irritation to quite high levels or irritation.
“Would you kindly like to shut up?” He inquired from the crowd, but all he received was a slight increase in the level of sound, and this did no good to his already quite high-strung temper. Pale fingers began twitching in annoyance, searching for the usually ever-present carrot, only to find it dreadfully missing. He couldn’t help the widening of his eyes, as the reality finally sank into him. It took a moment for his completely frozen brain to melt again, and when it did, he was nervously twitching. The comforting chewing seemed to not be an option and that reality was horrible. His jaws just needed to be used, some way or another.
The crowd began growing evermore restless, which in turn raised the blood pressure of the white haired male, red eyes gleaming slightly as his nostril began twitching quite spasmodically. It had some of the newbies watching him with slight apprehension, but none of them knew the warning signs that always preceded quite a spectacular
explosion of frustration and annoyance. It was one of those things that the rabbit was also known for. The way he could speak his mind when the time came and most of all the way he could chew you into little, tiny pieces with his words. He hadn’t had a good chance to actually blow up at someone for a while, and thus, he knew that now he was quite near to blowing his fuse. It did not help that a few of the stupid ones were quickly starting to refer to him as a woman, some even rude enough to talk of bending him over and having their stupid way over him. This made a pale brow rise, and he realized that those lovely little kids didn’t realize that right now, their headgear was broadcasted everywhere. He knew that every single one of them would have an impossibly horrid headache the next morning.
As the level of the noise grew even more, Rabbit was not quite sure how to handle it anymore. The spasms were starting to become larger in the area that they affected, his fingers twitching, alongside the left corner of his lips. To someone, it might have appeared so that he was merely trying to hold in laughter, when in honesty, he was trying his damnedest to not laugh that horrid, eerie laugh of his when he was quite near breaking point. It wasn’t truly working, and soon he was almost doubled over in laughter. That was what made the crowd shut their traps, finally looking up at their instructor with just the slightest amount of fear in their eyes. It wasn’t exactly the fact that he was laughing that shut him up, he had already been labeled an insane cross-dresser, but it was the way.
There was a level of absurdity, hiding beneath the hilarity, a contradiction of complete insanity and quiescence. It was as if the laughter was in some way delayed, like that particular type of laughter should have been reserved for some other time, like when you had just confessed your love and the person you had confessed it to was either already happily married, or got run over by some heavy vehicle, getting killed in the process. It was also the coldness that radiated from the laughing man, the way those red eyes weren’t closed instead they stared at the crowd with the lunacy happily swirling and twirling with something akin to completely psychosis. Except he had an exceptionally clear head, his thoughts organized, following logical patterns. The only thing that seemed to defy logic, though, was the fact that if he spoke, it wouldn’t be in a hushed, manic tone, it would be loud and clear and nothing short of a scream.
Silent seconds ticked by, the pocket watch in the rabbit’s pocket sounded louder than what it in reality was, as the whole room was tensed, waiting for some sort of a reaction. Would the rabbit burst, or would he only dissolve to a giggling mess. Pale lips opened, and a breath was taken, ready to shout in the most unbecoming of ways.
It was also the moment when the smooth entry of a tall figure into the conference room occurred, turning everyone’s focus onto the new comer. Every single thought of screaming at the newbies were now centered onto this one person, and he finished drawing in his breath before realization struck. The Rabbit’s breath hissed through his lips in the way a snake’s would, and he couldn’t help but narrow his ruby eyes, a steady frown settling onto his lips.
The Hatter was here.
A/N: Okay. Some of you may have noticed that these all are infact, unbeta-ed. So, any people willing to beta will be thoroughly love. And reviews are always loved. <3
