THE MAD HATTER

Welcome, Mad Hatter! You have been chosen for the role of a SERIAL KILLER - a killing role. The Queen of Hearts laments the loss of one of her more interesting residents of Wonderland. She has tasked you with providing entertainment for the few weeks to come. Your goal is to kill as many people over the course of two weeks. For each successful kill, they will receive a personalized incentive.

However, there is someone who will be attempting to stop the slaughter before it happens. Be warned.

A list of rules are as follow:

1. The Mad Hatter will attempt to kill 2 people (at most) per week and evade suspicion.
2. They will only be allowed to use the environment for their kills. No weapons will be provided, so get creative!
3. The Mad Hatter is at risk of being executed. If executed, they will lose all incentives gained.

New top levels will be created in this post for each week the Mad Hatter is alive. The White Rabbit will meet with the Mad Hatter on Tuesday Monday Evenings at 6PM. Please have your selection & murder proposal by Wednesday night. We hope you have fun with your role!

[ mejojo is a very beautiful man — he works hard to keep it that way. there is grace in his step, his gaze leveled as he enters with head held high. he's been looking forward to this, meeting this wretched and lovely woman who has managed to surpass him.

something in his expression drops at the sight of auger's violin. he seats himself, composure still intact. ]

You've kept me waiting for so long, and yet you maintain this distance between us.

[ a smirk ghosts across his lips. he will not ask about auger, not yet — that card can't be played quite yet.

i'm sorry, auger, a part of him says. i'm doing this for you too. ]

My present. Did you receive it?

[mcmurderer]

You'll snuff out a flame if you overwhelm it too much. Tread lightly.

[ She's hot?? ]

I did. It was promptly delivered.

[ There's a small smirk on her face when her new Mad Hatter arrives. He had done well with her other guests to provide entertainment — to provide the nourishment her roses needed. ]

A courter usually offers land or riches, never a literal bleeding heart. You've caught my attention and kept it.

[throning]

[ it frustrates him, admittedly. if his fingers curl into his palm, or his tail wavers, or his teeth gnash, she will not see it. he will not allow her to.

mejojo von garibaldi is the prince who exterminated house upon house in a fit of rage. he is a whirlwind who will calmly rebuke you one second and drive a blade into your shoulder the next. but he is also the boy who waited patiently and quietly, stewing in his own hatred, for 20 years. who gently swayed his depraved king of a father and combated the scrutiny of an oppressive nobility.

when his gaze flickers towards the violin again, he remembers that he is completely and utterly alone.

so he looks towards her again. smiling, even if something inexplicable burns in his eyes. ]

You have all the land and riches you desire. I wanted to ensure that it would be personal.

[ he stabs a knife into his entree. ]

Is there anything you long for, my Queen?

[mcmurderer]

[ And to her, this is all a show. She loves the theatrics of it all. Of the chilling tell how one's descent into madness brought her land into one of prosperity. The roses were blooming red — blooming nicely, but there is always more. Her garden still is pained with white. ]

You are careful to offer a heart to me, but not your own. Smart man. [ She reaches forward and takes a sip. ] I want nothing more for my roses to come into season and for the lot of you to leave. Wonderland is not your kingdom and I have not the concern to keep you housed in an old Hare's poor village.

[throning]

[ smart is one word for it. manipulative and selfish are others, and he's well aware. he's never exactly held himself in the highest regard.

but looks are deceiving, aren't they. he sips his own wine in turn. ]

I have a kingdom of my own to tend to, but I can assure you that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed my stay here. On the contrary, it's been a learning experience.

[ he leans forward, bangs elegantly swaying to the side for a moment. ]

People are fundamentally weak. Perhaps that's why you interest me. You are powerful — and you understand that the world is a chess board at best.

[ he leans back, this time. ]

Tell me: how did you come into power, my Queen? You must know that I killed my father. I can see it in your eyes: that you've sacrificed something as well.

[mcmurderer]

[ She sits there, chewing her words carefully. It would be simple to give him all the answers, but she hesitates. A bleeding heart was a weakness. ]

Learning, for what, I wonder? [ HMMM. ] I came into power like most: it's in my blood. I came into rule by spilling it. My sisters — two of them born before me — of White and Red. Wonderland was to be theirs and with it, the admiration of its people. However... I always believed a third child shouldn't sit idly while opportunity slips by.

[ She looks down when he covers his bases to challenge her. ]

Sanity. It's a valuable resource here, you know.
