I simply could not understand this Otherworld. To a degree, it depressed me greatly; it was almost as cut throat as Wonderland had become, but without the honor or chivalry that we had maintained. Alice of Legend had warned me of the many differences, but she had not been able to touch on the oddities of her world.

For example, there were devices that people used to communicate with eachother right away! She called it a phone, but I knew better. It was a Reformed Carrier Pidgeon of the Imperion. I'm still working on using one, though Lady Alice has been considerably more wary of me using them since I broke her's the first night... I swear, mind you, that it was not entirely my fault. Her Harbinger failed to explain to me what it was. He, you see, is really to blame.

There is, however, one thing I've found that I can understand and want to know everything about in this world. The moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist her charms and womanly wiles very long. I am an old man, of course, but the desire has never faded from my heart, and she is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my very long life.

I will woo Carol Hamilton if it is the death of me.

That rat Hatter, I can't stand him, the smug little traitor. I've only allowed him to help because he can do just that, help. He's not good for much, but he has at least kept the refugees' bellies full. Oh, but beyond that, I'd love to take him out. He's a coward and a bloody blood traitor; a disgrace to his noble ancestors, the Hatter clan of Wonderland. I'm ashamed to be his father.

It comes as a surprise to some that we're related. True, we look nothing alike (he favors his mother), and we've hardly spoken for twenty years, but its true. Before that cow who calls herself a Queen took over, when I owned a proper, a respectable tea shop, we were close. He was learning the trade. I even passed the shop onto him, as an Unbirthday gift from his mother and I. Then, he took my gift and twisted it the moment Emotion Tea hit the market. I hate him.

Perhaps I'm just a bitter old man. But I don't care if he did save Wonderland, he is no son of mine.

A/N;; Blegh. I don't know if I really like the Dodo one. Maybe I'll go back and redo it. What do you guys think?
