Catt Hatter

* It was evening in the Society for Arcane Sciences and Catt was putting off going to sleep again by working on her Space Fold Generator. Miss. Dreamer had returned it undamaged, but had made alterations in an attempt to cross over to her own world.

As she struggled with the jumper cables, Catt wished she had thought to ask about the changes when Dreamer had delivered the machine.*

That should do it. *Catt thought, brushing her hands off on her jeans.* Now all that's left is a test run.

* She reached over and turned the crank that controlled the magnet arm, moving it into place. Apprehensively, she stepped on the bellows, manually pumping the Generator's mechanical heart to life.*

So far, so good.

* Taking hold of the levers Catt guided the magnet arm around it's course. Foot still pumping the bellows, she grinned as she saw the arching electricity that indicated the formation of a new Time Crease.*

~

* Moments later the lodgers were shocked to hear Catt's voice reverberating through the halls as she sprinted hell for leather away from the her office. Her arm was bleeding badly through a tear in her jacket sleeve.*

They're coming! Run!!

* Who's coming? What on Earth is going on? They thought.*

* A rumble began at the far end of the corridor. Any who turned to look soon saw exactly what Catt had been screaming about, for a moment later the door to the office was broken down, and a hoard of the strangest creatures any of them had ever seen erupted into the hall.*

(Comment with three {[3]} numbers between 1 and 20 to find out what creature decided to chase you!)

(You may choose to try to escape, tame, capture, or kill the creature pursuing you.)

(I choose 11!)

Dreamer bolted awake from her sleep as she got up to hear catt screaming and she opened the door to see her run by. Confused she peered her head out and she summoned her double edged sword.

(Congratulations! It's a ghost lawyer with music...um, ok. :\ )

* Immediately she was met with the hollow stare of a woman in a suit. Though clearly she wasn't human, her eyes were blank and the lower half of her face was the exposed white grin of her skull. Indeed, her entire form was marked by decay and her edges seemed to blow in an unfelt wind.

The specter took a breath and began to sing. Melodic waves of sound were having a soporific effect on Dreamer's mind, and she began to feel drowsy despite the situation.*

Dreamer shook her head still tired but she was use to this she kicked the skeletal women in the chest. Using her fighting skills she picked up from a friend. She readied her weapon. "Don't you think i'm not used to being tired but still fighting?" She asked. "Try living with a hyde for 6 years" She said.

* The woman cried out and floated backwards a few feet from the kick. She hovered there hiding behind her briefcase. The apparition stared at Dreamer a moment, as if considering something. Then she began to sing again, this time a sad, melancholy tune that brought painful memories to Dreamer's mind. Her sight grew warped and wavy as her eyes filled with unwanted tears.*

Dreamer glared. She was used to this with Nex, as she witnessed the murders that played through her head 100s of times before. Dreamer summoned her sword and threw it at the women hoping she'd hit her. She needed to stay strong, so she wiped her eyes.

* The sword struck deep into the briefcase, shocking the woman into silence. As she was staring at the case, turning it over in her hands, it exploded in a blinding flash of white light and legal documents. The concussive force of the explosion knocked Dreamer to the ground.*

* Rei, who was on the roof at this time, felt a tingle down her back* -Oh no- *She rushed into the building only to see Catt hurt and screaming bloody murder* -What in the world???- *She looked down the hall only to see shadows of creatures not of this world, not of this dimension* -What in hell's name IS that?-

(Yes it is! Hm, it appears to be a candy [I went with chocolate] rabbit with candles.)

* As Rei watched, one of the animal-esque creatures turned it's gaze on her. It looked like a rabbit, but not much like a real rabbit. It was ten times normal size and its skin was chocolate brown. The whole of its body appeared to be melting from candle flames that perched around it's body. One of the flames had eaten its way inside the rabbit's gullet and melted a hole straight through both its sides and back. Its hollow eyes had thin streams of smoke emanating from the sockets. Strangely, it did not seem to be in pain from the fire eating away at its form.

A moment of eye contact and the creature let out a horrendous shriek as it charged straight for her, flames flickering out of it's eyes and teeth bared.*

(GAH I LOVE IT. who's the most adorable abomination? It's you! It's you! It will always be you c:)

"What the fuu-" *Rei slowly approached the creature, who knows how other dimensional monsters could effect ghosts but she had ... an itch.* -How is that creature perpetually burning? Could it be like a mud phoenix? Then where is it's source of power, it seems to work off of it's own flesh. Speaking of which, is that- *Rei took a small whiff* -Is that chocolate?- *Rei, being ... dead, couldn't eat, and longed for the act of doing so. Chocolate had stirred something inside her, she continued to get closer to the creature with an air of wariness*

* As the melting rabbit came close, it leaped, jaws open to tear at Rei's throat.

However, it's teeth snapped shut on nothing but air, and an expression of immense shock flooded the creature's face just before it smacked headfirst into the far wall.

Strangely, as the easter-themed nightmare had been passing through her head, Rei found that she could taste the chocolate as well. It was a rich, thick milk chocolate.

The rabbit quickly regained its feet and confusedly turned to sniff at Rei's hand, its nose twitching softly.*

(SQUEEE!!! THE SKETCH-IT LOTTERY!!!! ok number time! hm... how about 5-2-17?)

* Working late one night when Catt's scream echoed through the hallway. Armed with a large hammer she gingerly opens the door to see what the fuss might be. Peering down the hallway a blur of a Catt rushes buy screaming "THEY'RE COMING!! RUN!" Confused she flows the fleeing figure shouting "Who's coming--" Her question is cut short but an unusual sound coming from the other end of the hall. She turns her head slowly afraid of what she might meet.

(I am so sorry for the delay!! DX I ran out of time before work and after work I ran out of energy and had a nap! I'm sorry! I'll be home for tomorrow, so there's that!

Um, you've got a tall dragon with boxes...lucky! )

* The shuffling sound was being caused by a striped serpentine creature. Its head perched on the end of its incredibly long neck, which was stooped to avoid bumping the ceiling. The serpent's body was so massive, it was a miracle that it was able to move in the hallway at all! Though its torso almost completely obsured anything that may have been behind it, she thought she caught a glimpse of a tail. When it saw her, it leaned in with its big, round eyes gazing into her own.

She only noticed the box on the creature's snout when it nudged her curiously, snuffling at her clothes.*

(Oh don't worry about it! Adulting takes a lot of energy. I'm just so happy that you drew this awesome monster for me!! THANK YOU!!! P.S. this monster looks AMAZING! XD)

* Unsure of what to do next she pulls out a brown journal and flips through the pages trying to find anything on Dragons.* Um... Come on there must be something in here! Ah! Here it is!*she stops as she finds a small page containing the following words* 'Dragons: They are cool!' *below the short sentence is a crudely drawn picture of a dragon with stars around it. She sighs, closes the journal, and tucks it away* Real helpful. *She mutters and then turns back to her new guest unsure of what to do* Um...Hi?...*she waves her hand holding the hammer at the beast. After realizing how this looks she quickly tucks the hammer away and pulls out a small bag.* Oh!...Uh...sorry. Would you like some food? *she shakes the bag at the creature and then opens it to observe it's contents.* Um...I've got some smoked fish, some cured meats, a loaf of bread, a couple carrots, and an apple?

(No kidding. :P Why adulting gotta be so hard, man? I'm happy you like it! ^u^ Thank you!! Feel free to assign colours to the thing!)

* The dragon huffed, excited by the idea of food. This accidentally blew the box off its nose and into (whatever her name is)'s face. It squeaked in surprise,(as much as a creature that size could squeak) and hurriedly snapped up its box. Placing it on top of its head before staring intently and eagerly at the paper bag.

While neither of them had been watching, the apple had made an escape with the assistance of a renegade ninja fruit.*

I'm Macintosh, *said the ninja.* What's your name?

G-golden Delicious. *The newly rescued apple answered, blushing slightly.*

(Yes I just shipped fruit. Snow the rules it's one AM! >_0; Have fun!)

(Oh don't worry I've got plans that may involve colors! ;) )

* When she goes to pull out the food and present it to the dragon she notices the apple has mystery disappear. She thoroughly examining the surrounding floor to see if the apple had fallen out, but there was no sign of the apple only the smell of apple juice. She smacked her forehead remembering that she received this apple as a gift from Catt earlier this morning and thought*

"Note to self: Don't accept any apples from Catt."

* Turning back to the dragon she began to lay the food on the floor displaying them to her new guest.* Well we don't have an apple...sorry about that. But your welcome to help yourself to anything that looks good. *She stepped back allowing the dragon to move closer without fear and begin to smell the food. While watching her guest she pulled out her journal and began to fill in the Dragon section with more detail.*

Dragons: They are cool! They like boxes and they're tall. They don't have wings...maybe some do.

* She stopped writing and looked back at the dragon, the tell tale sparkle of an idea in her eye. A grin spread across her face as she toyed with this new thought.*

"I could ride the dragon!"

* In the meantime... Macintosh took the glistening hand of Golden Delicious, staring deep into her amber eyes.* Tell me Golden Delicious. Have you ever spent the night looking at the stars trying to find the most beautiful one?

* Golden blushed and stepped closer to Macintosh* N-no I don't believe I've ever had the privilege.

* Macintosh smiled, gently took the other hand of Golden, and whispered.* Then come with me, and I can show you that none shine more beautifully than you.

(I've really got to stop taking apples from you! XD I love Macintosh's cameo btw that was perfect! Also at 1 Am all is allowed to let the fruit shipping continue!)

( 8D I can't wait! )

* As the dragon sniffed at the options, she noticed some flaps of skin that stretched from its limbs to its torso, like on a flying squirrel. It licked at the loaf of bread before taking a bite. It made a 'murr-rum' noise as it chewed happily.*

-

* The two passion fruits ran off into the night, heading for the park.*

(What? They only become sentient if you don't eat them in time! If they do become sentient, then they escape. That's a rule of author now, because I'd rather avoid tragedy for the fruitlets. X3 The apples are shipped from British Columbia! XD On to the multiverse! )

* Seeing the skin flaps she adjusted her not book*

Dragons: They are cool! They like boxes and they're tall. They don't have wings...maybe some do. But they do have skin flaps like flying squirrels. Maybe they can fly! ... Or at least Glide.

* She closed the journal and tucked it away* So you like bread eh? I'll be right back don't move! *She ducked back into the room she was working in and quickly returned with an arm full of bread. She cautiously approached the beast and placed all the loafs before it except one. After the bread was displayed, she began to slowly walk around the beast still holding the one loaf of bread.*

(So. Many. Fruit. PUNS!!! Well I guess I'm cutting fruit from my diet, I do not need more sentient fruit stalking me. :) Also I don't know if I read something wrong in our previous discussions but were you going to post the B-day thing today? I know you're super busy adulting and stuff but I just thought I check.)

Mur! *The dragon said as it used its tail to plop a box over her head before picking her up and setting her on its back. Content with the action, it went back to munching on the bread. (Noname)'s head brushed the ceiling, but she was to excited to care. She was sitting on a dragon!*

(Calm down! The time limit was how long before they became sentient! Not how long they lasted afterwards! Technically, one of them is already dead.[Double technically, all harvested fruit is already dead.]

I'd rather leave this couple with a happy ending. They moved to the park and lived there happily until they day they decided to start a new family. They bedded down in the soft soil of one of the flower beds and next spring, an apple tree had sprouted. Locals were always confused as to how an apple tree could grow two types of apples naturally, let alone always be heart shaped without pruning.)

(Ugh! So for some reason it thought this message was spam 3 hours ago but not now.)

* To excited for words she hung onto the dragon with a grin on her face. By the time her new friend had finished eating the loaves of bread, she had gotten her words back.* Can we go see my friends? *The dragon looked back at her confused. She sighed and pulled out the last loaf of bread, broke off a piece, and threw it as far as she could down the hallway.*

(Well I have mixed motions on this finding...one the apple ship will last forever and two I'm going to be stalked forever by a zombie ninja apple.

I do like the ending of their story though that is perfect!! Also the people probably see the tree and go It's probably the society's fault. and the walk away. XD)

(Ok I'm so sorry to rush this RP cause I want it to go on longer but starting tomorrow I probably won't have internet for a week probably and I want us to be able to finish this story. If I end up with internet then well...I don't know maybe I'll go save Lanyon. :P )

* The dragon watches the chunk of bread fly down the hall and land. In one swift movement the dragon pounces onto the bread and happily eats it. Over joyed that her bread throwing plan worked she continues to throw bits of bread down the halls leading the dragon all over the society. After many hours of bread eating and play both Hyde without a Jekyll and the dragon fell fast asleep in the main hall. Next to them was the journal opened to the Dragons entry. The page, now pages, had descriptive notes and stories filling them and the poor dragon drawing was now covered up with a new picture. A picture that would forever remind Hyde without a Jekyll of the amazing times she had with her new friend.*

Astrid was in the atrium, staring intensely at the Leviathan, trying to determine if it had moved slightly, when he heard Catt's scream and the hellish noise that erupted almost immedially after. As the noise grew louder, he ran over and hid behind the sarcophagus, closest to the main doors. He peeked out from his hidingspot, his eyes darting to every floor and even the glass ceiling. Then he caught sight of something unlike any creature he'd ever seen...

(Its an undead alien with, uh... socks. :\ )

* A creature with slick tan skin and a slow gait was shuffling its way down the stairs. It had a head and an almost human torso and arms, but below that it more resembled a frog. Once it reached the bottom, it paused and sniffed at the air through a hole that must have once been its nose. The strange thing turned in Astrid's direction, seeming to have caught his scent. It blinked at him with its one good eye, the other looked to have decayed away some time ago.

They stared at each other for a long moment, neither one daring to make the first move. In a number of places Astrid could see the bone structure peeking out through the torn and tattered skin. That's when he noticed the creature was wearing a pair of pink socks with white polkadots on them on its hind legs. There was another sock wrapped around its neck like a scarf and one was hanging off its head.*

(It looks amazing!) *The creature, though ugly as hell, didn't seem particularly menacing. His curiosity surpassed his instinct to avoid potential danger, but he still remained cautious. He slipped out sight for a moment, to put on thick protective gloves and unholster the dart gun. Then he moved out in full view of the creature and walked slowly towards it* Hey there *he said calmly* Where did you come from?

Socks? *he tilted his head to the side* Is that all you can say? *the creature did seem to appreciate socks as more than just footwear* Hmm... *he dug deep down into one of the inner pockets and produced a long, slightly sticky, black sock. He shook out a couple of green slugs, dead and dried up like raisins, and then extended his hand out to the creature* You want another one?

Okaay. You dont seem to set the same standards for socks as

humans. *he walked around it, studying it with intense curiousity. The flesh was rotting of it, but it was still alive and could move with great speed. He desperately wanted to take a sample of it. He considered for a moment, then took his left shoe and sock of, then pulled the sock over his right hand extended it to the undead creature* Here pal, wanna try a taste of this?

* Mz. Hyde was in her room, but not asleep. The rays of a single candle dimmly lit the room, but it wasn't just a normal candle, it was a candle in the shape of the number 5 on top of a mint chocolate chip cupcake. That's right, today was Mz. Hyde's birthday, or well, the day she was separated from Lady Jekyll. Mz. Hyde looks over to the Bill cage, where all of the Ciphers were wearing tiny party hats.*

Okay, you guys get your pieces first!

* Mz. Hyde removes some sprinkles from the cupcake and gives them to the tiny Doritos, who chirp excitedly.*

I can't believe it's been 5 years already. I was supposed to be free. Free from all the pain. Free from all the hate. Free to do whatever I want. Free to go wherever I want. Free...to just be alive.

* Sigh* Maybe this year will be the year.

* Mz. Hyde leans over to blow out the candle, when suddenly, a giant hole is ripped through the floor, the impact tossing the cupcake onto the floor.*

Hey! That was mine!

(Um, I guess I could make it have tentacles. But I'm not sure I want to know where that would be headed... The thing you got is a skinny tengu with guns. Good luck!)

* A great pair of brown feathered wings rose out of the gaping hole in the floorboards as a thin pale hand grabbed the edge. The winged creature hauled itself up onto the edge with difficulty and collapsed, wheezing. His legs still hung over the edge of the hole but he didn't seem to care. He lay on the floor panting, one hand clutching his chest and the other holding fast to a shotgun.

The man (if it could be called that) had the yellow eyes of some bird of prey, messy hair, and a bird mask that covered the lower half of his face. His clothes hung loosely from his exceptionally thin frame. A loaded holster on his hip pulled heavily on his belt, which was cinched as tight as it would go.*

Although the occasional racket was something to be expected at the Society, the unholy screams and roars that followed were quite out of the ordinary. Putting his book down, Hastie ran towards the door that led to the hallway. Behind it he found a creature he'd only expected to find in his nightmares.*

* Hastie was frozen in shock when he laid eyes on the creature before him. It towered over him, and its body was covered in bright shimmering crystals. In its hand it held a massive broadsword, the blade shining in the candlelight. Hastie reeled back when it roared. The sound was otherworldly; neither human nor animal. The creature raised its blade over its head, preparing to cleave him in half. Hastie jumped back when it swung down and shattered the floorboards where Hastie had stood mere seconds ago. He ran away from the creature, grabbing books from the shelves and throwing them at it as he ran. It didn't even leave a scratch.

* The bookcases fell with a bang, creating a domino-effect as they took the other bookcases down with them. Hastie stood in the middle of the room, frantically looking for an escape route through the piles of rubble. The way to the far end of the room where the windows were was positively blocked, and the creature would get him if he tried to make a run for the library doors. As he ran out of options, Hastie tried to subdue the panic that threatened to take over. The creature was slow, its joints moving stiffly because of the crystals. He could manage to get past this, if he only took time to think.

Then he spotted the stairs that led to the second level of the library and a balcony outside. The path was littered with books and papers, and blocked by a single overturned bookshelf, but he could get past.

He made a run for it, hoping the creature wouldn't manage to climb the stairs. Behind him the crystallized figure roared again, swinging its blade in fury.

Brightly coloured chunks of crystal clattered onto the covers of the scattered books. Hastie could see new cracks in its body as well, maybe he could beat it after all!*

Movemovemovemovemove! *Catt shouted to Elaina just before she tripped and sprawled across the floor, curling to protect her already injured arm.*

CATT! *now that she saw it better, she realized it looked less scary and more like a blob of sunburn relief aloe Vera and hair gel trying to stay dry... She was determined to do two things- save Catt and stop the blob from doing... Whatever hair gel blobs with umbrellas do...*

* The gelatinous mass oozed its way forward, getting closer and closer to the collapsed Catt, though it didn't seem to notice her. It was going to run her over!*

Maybe, to the kitchen! *The gelatinous mass followed them through the corridors, knocking things over and bumping into the occasional wall.*

This way! *Catt pointed and ran, taking corners sharply until they crashed through the kitchen doors.* The salt should be in the pantry over there! *She gasped, pointing.* You grab it and I'll man the door!

* The slime creature began to shrink and dissolve as Elaina poured salt on it. It gurgled as its body shrank under the overly large umbrella, eventually becoming too small to see.

Meanwhile Catt was struggling to grab at the slime that had slid down the back of her shirt.*

At leat it's not inside your clothes! Ghaaaa... Where do they keep the dish cloths?

* As the two looked for a spare dish rag, a small glob about the size of a baseball hopped out from under the slimy umbrella and happily squiggled away. Grateful to finally be free of the deck umbrella that had gotten loved in its head during a storm.*
