Alice stepped outside the doorway, and looked around. Everything just right. The sky was clear, the mushrooms fresh, and Cheshire sat next to a statue of a crying girl.
It was that which made Alice come up short, and she looked around. Really looked around. She turned in a slow circle, looking down at herself. At the familiar blue dress, and the Vorpal Blade at her waist. It goes snicker-snak.
“Oh hell,” she sighed. She folded her arms, and gave Cheshire a look. “What now, mangy cat?”
The cat smiled, menacing and cold. “Wonderland is no longer Londerland. I suppose this could be called Wonderfornia.”
“You used to be more clever than that,” Alice said, starting to walk down the sidewalk. The houses had altered and shifted, into a crude mix of victorian design with vaguely steampunky elements. “Do you supposed Hatter is about? Or the others?”
As they came to an intersection that looked out over the city, she gasped. The county had transformed. Downtown was a great forest of flowers and mushroom, with Stark’s Tower rising over all of it.
“Oh Alice,” the mangy cat said as he faded away. “How clever are you?”
“That’s it? You’ll leave me here, just like that?” There was a noise, and Alice darted behind some hedges. A vehicle of some sort drove past. It resembled a police cruiser made of cabbage, and there were cops. Who were playing cards.
“Curious,” Alice murmured, watching them drive past. A heart was painted on each door. “And concerning.”
She straightened, and rested her hand on her knife. "I appear to have lost my mind again. I best go find it."
