A dark figure approached the gates. Tired, and looming over the figures before him and slightly confused... On his way back to his territory from negotiating territory with little miss Marry, he was usually in a fine mood. Marry was rather easy to frustrate. All it took was a single solitary whisper of his name to make the man blow.

But as he made his way back, he stumbled upon many of his mansion's staff, wandering about the forest in a lost and upset state... After he had collected a fair number, he was convinced that this was no coincidence. Behind him as he trekked along his way, were a trail of his female house workers. this had never happened before in all of his life, and he was certainly not amused.

He approached the gate, where Dee and Dum stood happily,and looking only a little bit too eager to do their job. Was his world being turned upside down? When he left, the only thing Blood knew he could trust the twins to do was to slack off and play games with the amusement park's cat. But no. There they were, with satisfied grins upon their faces, pacing in front of the gate like the guards they were supposed to be all of the time during their work hours.

"Well, you two seem awfully cheerful this afternoon," Blood said, raising an eyebrow at the twins. "If only you would sow such vigor and passion for your job all of the time," he made his way for the gate, only to his surprise being stopped by his own guards. He knocked aside the weapons giving an unamused scoff. "And I cannot enter /My/ Mansion... Why, exactly?" he looked behind him at his trail of house workers, and back to Dee and Dum. Something was definitely up. And he knew, whatever it was, he would not be amused with it one tiny bit.

"Sorry Boss, Can't let 'cha through," Dee said with a smug smirk to the hatter before looking at his brother standing beside him.

"Lady Chelsea's Orders, Can't let 'Cha through unless you drop the female army you get there," They continued to block the locked gate, forgetting blood had a key of his own that he could quite easily use to get past the two of them.

"Chelsea? I know not of any young woman named Chelsea within /My/ Mansion." he paused his way through knocking Dum to the ground in the process, letting the girls rush in to get back to the work that had been forced to leave behind earlier in the day. He left the twin on the ground, leaving the two behind him with a single sentence of farewell and "Expect your pay to be cut in half this week boys," before going on his way into the mansion that seemed almost too peaceful to be under the control of some new outsider girl. That is, if thats what this Chelsea girl was. Blood had not yet a clue. Though since he only knew of one outsider at the moment, (that being Alice) and one female role holder, it only made the most sense to the Hatter.

"Get off of me, Woman!" He heard the displeased cry of his good friend Elliot emitting from the study he normally worked in during most hours of the day when he wasn't out taking care of other business like today.

"Is that How you treat the Girl who took you out for Carrot cake for lunch? Really Elliot-Chan?" the girl whined, as she cornered Elliot into a row of books. He couldn't knock any of the books down, or attempt to climb the shelf to get away for fear of toppling it; And no way in hell was he going to do something that would anger blood as much as that. "And got you Carrot Tea, carrot cookies, Carrot..."

/Damn it, Blood will be home soon, and I haven't even scratched the surface of my work! / He thought to himself as Chelsea went on about all of the things she had done for him while dragging him about today. If she weren't so forceful, and actually let him get a word in, maybe he would have actually been a little nicer to the new outsider... The only reason why he was holding back so much with her was for that very reason! When he thought of outsiders, he thought of Alice... and no way in hell would he shoot Alice. "Look, Chelsea, I really need to go do my work! Bloods gonnna be Pissed!" he said in a hushed tone, incase blood were already within earshot of the two.

"I'll protect you from the mean hatter man Elliot-Chan!" She said getting in a little closer, pulling the top hat she had snatched earlier from Blood's closet onto her head. "How mean could he be to a Kawaii, Innocent Outsider girl like me!" She put on a puppy dog pout, before jumping almost 6 feet in the air as a gun shot fired, hitting only a few centimeters to the left of her foot. "KYAA!" she let out a shriek, clinging for her life to Elliot, letting the hat (which was rather big for her head) drop to the ground as she did. Elliot Flinched, not at the gunshot, but at the girl, though he should have fully expected that from her by now.

"Looks like 'Elliot-Chan' Will be the one protecting you, Miss Chelsea." Blood's face gave a sour look as he walked towards the two. "What is the meaning of all of this?" his tone and presence in the room matched, with what appeared to be anger at the both of them. "If you can't ... Get rid of a little outsider girl, then you can at least go get her a room ready if she really wishes to stay here." he hissed, picking up the hat from the floor and throwing it onto his desk. "And leave the girl here. I have business to handle with this little intruder." With this, Elliot Pried Chelsea off of him, and dropped her on the ground, rushing to do as his boss said.

"Now young lady, Who died and made you the boss?"
