A man in a green suit called Mad Hatter

"How did I die again?".

BEEEEPP. A string of loud shriek ran across his whole head. It was all sudden that he wasn't even sure what happened, but what the sound did was like a little warning. "Ugh", Alyce slowly clasped his palms at each side of his head, pain flooded his mind and heart. Shriek, cry, fear, it was all coming in his mind, nope, actually its too much. Alyce shuddered, his breathing tightened as he swayed from side to side before finally slumping on the ground with his knees buckled up, his back bended into an arch, his head bowed down the dirt.

The cries of his own, the touch swarming up his body, the breath of another person. Alyce didn't know, didn't even know what? "Do you know?".

"Huh?", Alyce turned his head with smallest inch to his side before whincing on the biting pain. Who said that? Alyce wondered. His eyes half-closed, who said that? Forcing his eyes open, he was in another world, a room, an empty one.

With all the never ending walls he barely saw the ceilings above, was it even a wall? He carelessly took a step on a widely white floor. He looks around, all white when he realized the pain on his head was gone.

Touching his head, it felt calm. Good! That was the most painful headache I'd ever had since examinations. Alyce noticed his hands were back to his normal human hands. Not a single scratch on his arms which led a small chuckle, a time in his life where he had his laughter, Alyce look up.

Took a deep breath, feeling his body being filled up with good air...-"Wait...what examinations?". Not even a second has passed when his eyes looks like life left his soul. Who was he? Where is he? And why is he looking up? Thoughts just came and flooded his brain unknown to him that he just started walking again.

Time passed, was it minutes, hours, days?? There's no telling him. Alyce wandered around the the white room, where am I going again? He asks himself but it seems his body has a mind of its own. He commanded himself to not take another step but each time he did fails. Eventually giving up.

Another figure across the room finally showed up as he gets closer. A figure, a man, a thing, was standing still. Alyce came closer noticing the blur of faint blonde hair, a blur of almost tear-eyed emerald green with a fair skin. It was crying, sniffling the snots and tears back to its body yet the drops forced to fall down into the ground. Alyce wondered why? Why is this guy crying? Why am I asking why?

He took a step closer and brought out an arm. "Are you okay?", he asked. The figure slowly raised its head toward Alyce and simply smiled back. "You poor thing, why did you have to be destined to him, why did you even know him?".

A soft but clear words came out of his mouth as it pronounced every word with tears draining his eyes.

"What?", Alyce asked. His brain couldn't take it. Well of course he didn't take it, might as well as not even understand a single sentence of it. What the fuck is even happening? He questions but this time his lips sealed shut and while at it, the figure standing in front of him slowly disappears. Small black dot appeared below him, Alyce squated down to investigate.

What is that? The dot so small like a speck of dirt suddenly stretched into a bigger circle. A black circle you say, and he on top of it that stood on the air came down fast to the very bottom in speed. Not even a yelp.

Alyce quickly satted after gasping for air, emerging from the ground he slept. His breathing were short and tight still traumatized about what happened in the white room. All his senses by now has adjusted to his environment, shouts of men, crying of children being rescued he looks up to see a ship infront of him tilted and damaged.

Long lines of children drawed from the entrance of tents, huge, tall and green tents. Alyce look around, sees he was well tucked in on a mattress and a blanket. His tattered clothes were replaced with a white oversized polo that covered his knees. He looks around.

Around a corner were two tall figures of green and grey and a small figure of green dancing around. They seemed to have notice Alyce when they both tilted their heads towards him. Began walking, towards him.

"Huh?", Alyce took a fright. I mean two men are literally walking towards him and as they come closer, Alyce noticed their gold brooches on their chest. "10 of them, 10 OF THEM I swear!", Alyce mentally gossips to himself fret down the mattress. One had a long sword strap to his sides while the other had a baggy hand bag. The little figure seems to have noticed Alyce all woken up when it sprinted. Ran faster than the two men combined, stumbled on a pebble on the road but still rised and continued.

Revealing the same brown hair and soiled, tattered pink gown. She waved happily high in the air while running towards him. "Is that...?", Alyce mumbled. Only the most annoying shade of pink fluff ball ran down his mind when he look at that view.

She giggled when she arrived and let herself fell over landing on the blonde. Alyce let out a squawk, she was light as a feather but still. "Your alive! Your alive!", she chants while embracing his skinny hips. Alyce was currently getting attacked by a fluff of pink. He said it.

"Um...what? Huh?", Alyce too confused to even mumble one sentence got snickers from the men finally arrived at his side. They stood tall and somehow proud, one with a tall green hat and a green and purple suit crouched down beside the boy.

"Sir blonde of sorts", he uttered while Alyce snorts, "I give you my thanks for protecting my daughter from the dangers thaat this world has offered, I would fully like to express my thanks. Do please offer your wishes, don't worry I don't bite back like a loan shark". His gestures and manners and voice doesn't sound and loook like a joker to Alyce. At least that's what he thought. "What?".

The little lady giggled, Alyce normally conversed to others without an act of respect since all he was ever around were commoners and slaves. "How Insolent! This basta--", the figure who wore a brown suit and carried a sword shouted. But the happy-lucky man in green peeped in, "Aha, seems I didn't introduce myself then!" Alyce slowly nodded.

That brown suit guy...he's weird in a lot of ways. Alyce thought while he waited for the man in green suit to speak. "Allow me to introduce myself I am Mad Hatter, 3rd rank duke of this kingdom the Red Hearts", he bowed his only head while his body still straight up squatted.

"What?"

"Ahaha I guess you didn't catch that, I said I am Mad Hatter", the man repeated himself. Alyce, on his own space repeated it on his mind. I am Mad Hatter, I am Mad Hatter, Mad Hatter?! The actual first friend of Alice from the book?! The one who had a tea-party in the middle of nowhere? That one?!

Alyce rummaged on his memories, this all seems familiar, wasn't he reading about this in his past life? The novel that had the exact turn of events as the original Alice in Wonderland had. "Holy crap I actually met the insane characters of the story?!", Alyce thought unknowing he blurted his thought. "Excuse me?!How Insolent!", the man in brown screeches. Preparing to draw his sword.

Shoot! Alyce murmured, he thought of anything than he purposely murmur and stuttered in a scared way, "You mean the duke who is famous for insane...", Alyce slowly spoke hopefully someone, anyone, please speak before me! "The father of insane parties and events!", the little lady squeeks.

Alyce sighed, saved from the cheerful manner of the lady. "Co...rrect!", the suppose duke striked a pose. Somehow he lived to the Mad Hatter character very well. The man in brown grunted annoyed it seems. The duke and the lady held each other's hands and chant Yay! while dancing in circles.

The little lady broke away from the duke and faced Alyce.Putting her hands at the back of her dress she said, "Am Hazel Hatter, pleasure to meet ya Alyce!". She chirp in her highest tone while still maintaining a straight posture.

Sees that she didn't use any manners at all, not that I mind it. Alyce chuckled. She seemed fun, that Hazel, knows the time to be cheerful and brave. Alyce thought of it, if this was Alice in Wonderland, what role does he play in the story?
