I want winter to go already. Mother nature is teasing us with 45-50 degree weather, but then making it windy to bring it back to 30 degrees (Fahrenheit for those outside the US).

"Well, well, well. Hello little cat, you should get to the tent before the show begins. You could even bring your little foreigner friend with you too. I'm sure she would enjoy an up-close-and-personal performance~" Joker silkily purrs, still staring straight at me, almost ignoring Boris's presence. Hehehe~ I swear, if I wasn't in trouble with Boris right now, I would so be drooling like a lovesick teenage girl.

"She's fine out here Joker. in fact, she was just about to leave, weren't you Victoria?" Boris hisses, the bit of hair on his ears and tail puffing up like a cat back at home would. I'm gonna' take a guess that the other Roleholders don't like him very much. Just a little suspicion here of course. The other Roleholders don't like even like each other for that matter. Tch, it's ticking me off right now. It's annoying and honestly, it depresses me to a degree. I HATE when people argue and fight.

I guess it's my time to disappear. Turning away from Joker and Boris, I begin to walk away like Boris suggested, hesitating on whether I should leave him there or not. Still walking but thinking at the same time, I stop, but only to bump into the chest of another person.

I swear to god, if I bump into anyone else- Glancing up, I see...Joker? Wait. How?

Turning my head, I see Joker. Joker and…Joker? Well,Fuck.

Both look alike except for the costumes they sport. The one in front of me looks like some security guard or a prison warden, a set of jingly keys at his side and a mask with a smile on the other side of his belt. His eye is sporting the same gold and black eye patch as the jester-joker. What's with everyone and the eye patch? Is everyone in Wonderland trying to be a pirate or something?

"Looks like Heart's Country has a new fuck toy, eh Joker?"

Fuck toy? Oh HELL NO. Putting my right hand into a fist, I bring it up and hit this Joker upside the freakin' head. Not only does the one in front of me groan and hold his head in pain, but the one behind me does too. Can they feel the same pain? That's weird and really cool at the same time!

Seeing the Joker in front of me lift his head and stare me down. If looks could kill, I'd have been dead before I even came to Wonderland! Backing up with my hands up, I stare back at Joker and try to look pissed and menacing, even giving a growl in anger as my back touches against Boris's. I got my hit in, but now I realize how stupid that was. He could have a gun, maybe even multiples on him and I just assaulted him for a comment he made. Looking his body over I notice the whip resting on his hip next to a baton and his tiny smiling mask.

Oh lord, this ain't good. Not at all. That was a really stupid move Victoria. Really stupid. I'm so screwed now! To make matters worse, Boris is here! I got him in shit too for trying to be all big and tough! Okay, okay Victoria, you can do this. You're strong. You may not have a whip or a gun, but you can do something in self-defense.

Both of the Jokers are looking at me now, one with anger and another with excitement. Haha~ Nope! Build me a grave now Julius! I should have listened! Curse my stupidity! Damn me for being curious! Coming towards me and Boris at a slow, yet terrifying pace, they both smirk at the same time. I hear the cock of a gun and assume it's Boris. I have to fight too! Putting my fists up and taking a deep breath, I try to make a plan out in my hea-

BAM!

I catch a glimpse of white to the left of me in a part between two carny tents. Only one person in all of the Country of Hearts wears that much white. Blood. Great.

"Looks like our little foreigner got herself into trouble, yet again." Again? "Oh God! Blood, thanks, I guess." Behind me I can hear Boris exhale loudly; he held in his breath. Was he actually worried that much that he held his breath? Joker was just chuckling, as if Blood and his gun were nothing but a kid and his Nerf gun.

"What's your issue?! Did I offend you at all? I don't even know you and yet you try and attack me! I only hit you because you had to invade my personal space and insult me, you creep."

The jester Joker only smiles at me while his counterpart scowls as if I'm lower than dirt. "I only wanted to impress the new foreigner by showing her around~ Is that too much to ask of her?" "Yeah! Are you too much of a snobby bitch to want to have fun at a circus?" That wasn't why they were going after me. They looked ready to kill…

It may sound stupid, but now I want them to take me. I want to know what they were actually going to do to me.

"Hey Bitch! Take a picture! It'll last longer!" Really now? Two can play that game then asshole. "I would, but my lens would break." Stupid, cheesy, probably poorly worded, but it made him pissed off even more~ Just what I was aiming for. OOOHH! That rhymed! Oh God, I'm turning into Peter.

The Jester Joker chuckled at my wisecrack; the other just sneered and flipped me off. Really mature. How old is he? 10?

"Fine, I'll go watch the circus act. It can't hurt. Only on one condition though." At this both Joker's perked up and looked me over in interest once more.

"What type of bet my little toy~?" He chimes, placing his thumb on his chin in thought. Oh, so now he wants to play the name game? Blood's going to rake me about this later, but I don't care right now.

"If I want to leave, I must be allowed to leave. No forcing me to do anything I don't want to, understand Gingerbread?"

Sounds like a fair deal to me~ I had to make fun of his hair colour, it was in the open! Brushing past both of their shoulders, I walk towards the striped tent ahead of me. I grab Boris's hand and lead him along with a wide smile, winking at him for shits and giggles.

At this point it would be safer in the tent than here with Blood and the two Jokers.

But hey-! This is becoming interesting for me~

Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock

I'm torn! I want Victoria to be with Joker, but I want her to be with Elliot at the same time!

Give me strength, this inner battle of who is with who will strangle me alive! D:
