[color=purple][b]Sarah~[/b][/color]  
     After explaining her situation three times, answering a slew of questions of how she came to be here, the kind man (who she found out to be named Hare) led her in the direction of some strange mansion where she would be staying.  She still was unable to tell if she was dreaming or not…at worse she fell through the floor of her home and was now in some sort of coma taking years to be resolved.  Still, here she was in a beautifully strange land and by Geminis’ crickets she was going to enjoy herself.

     Tuning back into the Hare he was telling the history of the town, but Sarah could not bring herself to find interest in a civil war.  Her mind only held on to snippets Evil Queen, mischievous woods, diabetic garden, ya dee dah.  Feigning as if she was paying attention her mind was in some other place entirely.[color=purple] [i] What is a Hatter?  Why did the strange man in front of her have rabbit ears?[/i][/color]  She could vaguely remember a similarity between this world and a story her mother told her once long long ago.

     [color=purple]“Yes, yes.  Don’t let myself be kidnapped, look both ways before crossing the street, and eat my vegetables.  How much further until we reach this “Mansion of yours.”[/color] She could practically hear the rabbit-man roll his eyes. [i]“We are here and it is there.  We are there and it is here. Don’t be in too much of a hurry.[/i]”  This time Sarah smirked, rolling her own eyes still uncertain of what any of the babble coming from the man’s mouth meant.

    [color=purple] “Okay riddles, whatever you say.”[/color]  By the time he started to explain his name certainly was not riddles the Hatter Estate folded out before them.  Coming up the drive, Sarah’s jaw dropped.[color=purple] [i]Yep I am in a comma or I’ve had a psychotic break….there is no in-between here.[/i]  [/color]

     The man opened the door for her and began yelling for someone named [color=yellow]Dorthy[/color].  Sarah only caught the bit asking where the Hatter was located and then her own thoughts drifted off to the décor in the room.  A long stretch of royal blue fabric made its way down the marble steps on either side of the main room.  Lush, heavy curtains covered the windows, and the ceiling itself was covered in odd paintings of strange looking creatures. 

     By the time she came to the Hare was staring at her with impatience.  [i]“Come along.  [color=yellow]Dorthy[/color] will take good care of you and will tell you all you need to know while you stay here.  The Hatter will be back later.”[/i]  With this the man disappeared while muttering about cooking for guest tonight.

     Sighing to herself for his rudeness Sarah merely wondered aloud, “Well he could have at least TOLD me where this [color=yellow]Dorthy[/color] woman was.  She glanced around the room, remembering the man went up the stairs.  Taking that route herself she cupped her hands around her mouth, [color=purple]“Hellloooo?”[/color]
