“But I don’t want to go back to the insane,” Alice remarked.
“Now you are mistaken, dearest,” said the cat: “We’re all insane, especially all who are here.
I am insane, you are insane. All do we share a similar mind.”
“How do you know I’m insane?” asked Alice, furrowing her eyebrows.
“You must be,” replied the cat, leering down at her with his hideous grin, “Or you wouldn’t have come here in the first place, would you?”


“Charlie? Charlie, are you listening to me?”
The young boy’s eyes snapped open, only to find a pair of dull, hazel eyes behind thick glasses staring back at him. Clearing his throat, the psychologist sitting on a chair beside him tucked a lose strain of his chestnut hair behind his ear, absentmindedly tapping his pen against the clipboard on his lap.
“You did it again…” the psychologist looked at the boy named Charlie pointedly.
Charlie tilted his head to the side, gazing back at the doctor quizzically, confusing crossing his face. “What?” asked the child.
“You spaced out again, and you seemed to be talking to someone. There isn’t anyone else here besides us, is there? So if you have something to tell me, stop mumbling.”
“Doctor…” started the child in an attempt to change subject, his deep golden eyes remaining glued to the older man, “I have a question.”
The psychologist readjusted his lab coat slightly as he arched one of his bushy eyebrows. “What is it, Charlie? Ask away,” he said, a small smile tugging the corners of his lips.
For just a split second, it seemed to Charlie as though the cat was leering at him again. He knew it was probably just him, but somehow the psychologists smile reminded of the cats hideous grin. A shiver went down Charlie’s spine. Nonetheless, he voiced his question, shifting down his gaze at his fumbling hands.
“Doctor, do I really have to grow up? Do I really need to become an adult?” he asked quietly as he fidgeted with his sleeve.
The doctor laughed softly, giving the boy a gentle pat on the shoulder.
“Of course you need to grow up, boy… everyone becomes an adult sooner or later- you will too.”
Charlie’s expression saddened. “I… I don’t want to become an adult, though. I don’t want this game to end… ever.”




Introduction




Image

This story takes place during the interwar period in the 20’s on an asylum for the mentally ill. Actually, the asylum was closed for several years, yet after as WWI was coming to an end, they decided to reopen it again. Now once more, they take care of those not fit for society, many of which were damaged by the war. Amongst them it could be everything from soldiers damaged by the constant noise around them, children witnessing their parents deaths, women and girls just happening to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and of course those who were damaged for entirely different reasons. Maybe they were mad even before it began. The point is there are a lot of people with a lot of history in the unfortunate house of Wonderland Asylum.

As soon as you step onto the grounds surrounding Wonderland Asylum and the gates fall shut behind you, you can sense something is amiss. The gothic mansion looms above you like a monster leering down at you, just waiting to swallow you. Within those walls you will find Wonderland. Maybe not at once, but Wonderland will sink its claws into you sooner or later and pull you in, no matter if you want it to or not. You will start dreaming, in the dream you are someone completely different, in the dream you can be the one you really want to be, the one that the world doesn’t tolerate. As wonderland dives into your deepest hopes, fears and desires, turning dream into reality... will you be able to escape? Or will you accept it as it is?

The world you live in is so gray, so colorless, so boring. Everything is just gloomy and terrible; it’s so different from Wonderland. Wonderland is a different view of the gray world you live in; it is no different from our own world, and yet it is still entirely different. The asylum is still there, the rooms are all there, but everything is in color. Strange creatures walk around in the woods, strange creatures lurk in the dark. Out from the floors flower grows; it’s the best playground you have ever seen. It has everything you could ever wish for, everything you have ever dreamt of... yet good is always accompanied by bad, and Wonderland happens to also host your deepest fears. Your greatest nightmares and your biggest dreams; which will it be?



Roles




The only people that are affected by Wonderland are the patients, yet they are unaware of the fact that they all share the same dream.
There is a plot behind the RP, which will reveal itself when it’s time, until then just enjoy the ride.
Here are some characters that we want to have in it:


Alice - Gladis The March Hare - usernamesareadrag
The Queen of Hearts - Strawberry275 The White Rabbit - Lyysa
The Duchess - SaxyLady15 The Cheshire Cat - Weilacca
The Hatter - Lorawr The Caterpillar - Gladis
Willo the Wisp - Zalgo The Knave of Hearts - Gladis
Hero (Will show up later) - Lyysa Petal - Sanarith

If all the roles are taken you can come up with your own Wonderland characters. But it has to be inspired by Alice Adventures in Wonderland. And this is only the character for Wonderland, the “real” you can be completely different. Remember the Wonderland you are the one you wants to be, not the real you.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Hi all! I'm so sorry it's taken so long...but the Hatter is complete! It's not pretty yet, and lacking a couple of pictures, but I'll get those up in the morning. But all the info is there. :3

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Sorry that we haven't had the opportunity to start yet but we are still waiting for some people to finish their characters

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Sorry for the delay, that's Lotte finished now although if I think of ways to improve her form I may add to it a little later ^^

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Ahhhhh, I'm really sorry!

I've had exams all over the place, and I've been revising like crazy, and I just haven't been able to get around to it! I'll be finishing Ellie off now and then I need to revise :-)

So sorry about this again!

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Hello there people, I've seen that some of you haven't done anything with your WIPs for a while now. Just wanted to check why and when you are going to be done?

I do know why three of you haven't finished your characters because you told me in advance, but there is still two that hasen't said or done anything. So how is it going you two? You know who you are ;P

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Ellie is almost done. Just need to finish off her Wonderland character and then I'll be done! :D

Re: Keep on Dreaming

It looks really good ^^

Re: Keep on Dreaming

The history has been submitted. With the potential for details I missed in my excitement my character is pretty much done.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

I've got the character sheet up. Hopefully it's acceptable. I shall be working on the history and submitting it soon enough.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

You don't need to use a anime one, take whatever you like ^^

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Sorry about not replying yesterday, I did mean an original character :-) Thank you, and I should have it up this evening hopefully :-)

EDIT: Do you mind if I use a Face Claim instead of an Anime one? I'm having trouble with it (Again...) >.<

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Then I shall. The character form should be up by today, not entirely finished but enough for the WIP in which it shall be posted in. It should be completed either today or tomorrow I estimate.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

It doesn't bother me and I don't think it would bother Gladis either. So I think you should use your idea.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

After reading up on certain matters pertaining to the time period this roleplay is set I've unfortunately lost grasp of my character concept in my attempts to make it coincide with actual history.

Sadly, as child labor laws were in full effect beyond the nineteenth century my idea of making an underage Irish coal miner will conflict with the timeline.

Unless the conflicting time correspondence doesn't bother you much I've not much idea for another character. I could probably think of another in some time but given the changes needed it would depart far from my original idea, disheartening me quite a deal.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

I'll write you in right away :)

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Hello there! My, but this is an incredibly interesting role-play. I was wondering if I could go ahead and reserve the March Hare? I'll have him up most likely by tomorrow.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Yes thank you, then I will wait until I know what kind of character you created before I put it with the others.

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Of course I do mean to create a completely unique character inspired solely from my own mind. I assume that was what you wanted to know?

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Hi there Zalgo, when you write original character you do mean you want to create your own from scratch right? Or..?

Re: Keep on Dreaming

Hello. I am hoping to reserve an original character for this roleplay. I think the idea is quite interesting, though I will need to brush up on my knowledge of the era.
