"I don't see what's so hard about that! Paperwork is the easiest kind of work!"
The ravenette Mafioso looked up from his papers towards the foreigner, whose hands rested on her hips. "Young lady, you're interrupting again" "Interrupting what? You're slacking. You have been on the same page for the past hour!" she exclaimed. It had been true. The man had only spent about an hour on his paperwork, and he was still on his first page.
Heaving a heavy sigh, he placed the pen down on his desk, and laced his fingers together before resting his chin on them, leaning forward slightly "Then tell me, young lady, what about this role seems EASY to you?" he asked with a dull tone. "Enlighten me"
"First off, I have a sense of responsibility! Doing paperwork should be a breeze! Second, I'm more tolerable, and don't complain, and I definitely do NOT have such bad mood swings. It's easy!" she made slight movements with her hands as if to emphasize the point.
Blood's eyebrow arched, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly, as if glaring at a bug that must be squished immediately. "Easy? You have it much easier young lady. You don't even have to do anything" he stated simply, bringing his gloved hand through his black hair in aggravation. "No work, no troubles, and no following the rules of the Game… It's simple and carefree"
Alice let out a laugh, grasping her sides. "You have no IDEA how hard it is to be me! I'm constantly stalked; I get caught up with the Jokers, and Ace, not to mention there is always some sort of danger! You wouldn't last a day as me!" The two of them were having a death glare stare down, before a light rap on the door broke both of their glares, turning their attention to the door.
The orange hare poked his head in, seeing the two, before backing up a bit. "Am I interrupting something?" the Mafioso shook his head, resting the white gloved palms of his hands on the dark wood of the desk beneath him. "What is it you need, Elliot?" he sighed. Alice could only glare. Honestly, the way he treated his subordinate pissed her off.
Elliot worked hard, and owed Blood his life, but couldn't Blood show a little respect? He spoke to him as if speaking to a young and oblivious uneducated child. His tone with the hare was always that of frustration and tiresome efforts. The hare's ears twitched, sensing the young ladies slight discomfort. "It's time for the Circus Event" he said quietly.
The Mafioso's eye twitched. He had completely forgotten that the circus event was being held today. If he had known, then he would have made more of an effort to get his paperwork done! Alice, on the other hand, was clearly excited. The ravenette eyed her with a sour look. "You look so excited. Are you happy to see another one of your clients again for a rendezvous?"
The girls head whipped around, sending sharp angry glares towards the man at his desk. "Of course not, Blood. I happen to like the circus, unlike you who just sleeps through it" she frowned. "I would rather sleep through it, or better yet not attend. You are lucky you have the option, while I am forced to attend. Damned rules" he growled, standing from his desk. She turned on her heel to change for the event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Wonderful Wonder World!"
Blood had his arms folded across his chest, his expression that of utter boredom. His eyes narrowed to extreme slits, where someone would think he was sleeping, and his scowl ever present. Elliot and the twins cheered, actually enjoying the event. Alice tried her best to enjoy the event, but the fact that Blood was being so careless about it ticked her off so much, that she couldn't take her mind off it.
Once the event was over, the Hatter family, Alice included, strolled through. While the twins discussed the circus, Elliot looked back to where Blood and Alice were, to find them both frowning bitterly. He heaved a sigh. Alice trailed slowly behind, not wanting to walk beside Blood.
Thinking back to all the events that had happened in the circus, she didn't even notice the jester in front of her. "Oof! I-I'm sorry, I wasn't look—"her face paled a shade or two realizing who she had run into. The jester himself looked slightly confused, but then smiled. "Hello Miss Alice! Did you enjoy the circus?" his cheery attitude was certainly a change, and made her smile a bit himself.
"It was amazing White! You really did a great job arranging it~" he smiled at her compliment, placing a hand behind his head, his other one waving as to dismiss the thought. "No no, all the credit goes to the workers! They really worked hard for it!" he replied humbly. "Even so, it was great!"
"Alice?"
The familiar sound of the Mafioso's voice called clear through the crowds. Alice turned towards the man, who was holding his hat atop his head to keep it from falling off in all the commotion. "Honestly, do you know how troublesome it is to find you?" Her smile faded. "Oh please, it's not that hard just walking and searching" she snapped, receiving a confused gaze from the jester.
"Excuse me?" the man's tone was raised to that of anger. "You're excused! You're being so lazy over such simple things! Honestly, is being a role holder that damned difficult?" the foreigner usually never cursed, but this was one of those occasions. "More difficult than being a god forsaken outsider!" he retorted.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP"
A shrill angry shout came from the mask on the jesters belt. The two turned their attention to the jester, who gave them the 'It wasn't me' look, before pointing to the raving mask at his hip. "Honestly, you fucking ingrates need to just shut the fuck up! I have a fucking headache god damn it!" Black exclaimed, causing the small mask to shake violently.
"Let's go, young lady. We will discuss this later" Blood growled, grabbing her wrist, dragging her along. She gave White an apologetic look, before returning to bicker with Blood. The jester returned her look with a smile. Once they were gone, the surroundings dissolved into that of the dark and bleak prison. The warden was rubbing his temples angrily.
"Those fucking idiots" he cursed angrily. "Why don't they just fucking switch lives for a few fucking days and then they can shut up!" White stood there, dumbfounded. "What a brilliant idea, my dear counterpart" his smile grew, his teeth showed milky white. The warden raised an eyebrow, as the jester walked off, preparing for the events to come.

That night in her dreams, Alice looked around for Nightmare, but could not find him. "Nightmare?" she called through the silverfish green and blue realm. The colors shifted, and a shadow could be seen. "Nightmare?" she called hopefully. "Tch, why are you here? Unless I've finally gone batty"
Blood Dupre.
"Why are you in my dream?" he questioned irritably, folding his arms across his chest. "You think I know?" she exclaimed, not enjoying his presence in her dreams either. "I've brought you two here" a voice echoed through the realm. The two looked around for the owner of the voice, but found none. "When you two wake up, you will feel the burdens the other feels"
The two looked to each other with confused expressions. "What do you—" but everything then went black.
-x-
Alice was lying comfortably in bed, until a scream forced her awake. Alice came bursting in to the room, cursing loud obscenities and pointing accusingly. "Young lady, you better have a good explanation for this!" Alice yelled. Wait, Alice yelled? Looking at herself, Alice soon realized the problem.
BLOOD WAS IN HER BODY AND SHE WAS IN HIS!
