Just Call Me Cheshire

Cheshire decided to make a spectacle of himself as he stretched out him limbs and back and walked a few circles before laying down on his belly, tightly tucking his limbs and tail around him as he did so. once settled, he gave a wink to the one called Ed and then grinned proudly at the leader, knowing his ease of comfort would rustle her fur more. 

he let out a emphatic laugh at the question of his name. “No, it’s not Gizmo, although it does has a certain ring to it. Perhaps I shall change it” he mused, fully enjoying himself. 

at the next round of the dogs’ conversations amongst each other, a face splitting grin dominated his features. “Is that what the smell is? Why thank you Ban for clearing that up. So you lot prefer to live where the stench is enough to make your eyes water? I wonder why that could be hmmm? no friends in more pleasant smelling lands? or do you enjoy your own stench?” with this last statement his eyes locked onto Shenzi’s, knowing full well his words would effect her the most. He twitched his tail in anticipation for an aggressive reaction.

Ed grinned at Chesire and nodded proudly to himself.
He inspired the animal to change his name to something he had suggested! He ought to feel proud.

Banzai stirred some dust up with his paw. So the feline was already calling him ‘Ban”. – Nope, he did not like that. 
”It’s ‘Banzai’ to you”, he snarled. “It’s a nickname, only my friends’re allowed to call me by that. ‘n what’s your name if it’s not Gizmo?”

Shenzi rolled her eyes at him. She wouldn’t want to know the feline’s name, she just wanted him to leave now.
“Ohh, it’s not like we enjoy livin’ here!”, she scoled, a deep corrugation forming on the bridge of her nose. “If you want us ta live in a-a better smellin’ place, go to Pride Rock ‘n tell the damn lions that the Hyena Clan should be allowed ta move outta their Graveyard ‘n let ‘em move into a nicer, more fertile region without gettin’ killed –!”

“… Shenz’? Try ‘n calm down”, Banzai muttered, Ed nodding next to him. “He’s obviously tryin’ to provoke ya.”

“AND IT’S NOT OUR STENCH!“ 
Screaming out the last words, Shenzi’s thoart was hurting a little. “It’s the-the geysers, like Banzai said! They are freakin’ GREEN! I don’t expect green steam to smell good, I don’t even expect it to be healthy or somethang like that!“ 
She slumped down, breathing heavily with a furious expression.
Yes, she was pissed. Pissed, because on one side, Chesire was almost exhausting her, and, on the other side, because he was right. The hyenas really didn’t have friends in ‘more pleasant smelling lands’. If they had (as they were surrounded by fruitful lands) ‘friends’ or at least animals who were considerate towards them, they would be able to move out of the Graveyard.

he gave a bored look towards banzai before stretching his paw outward to lazily examine his claws while speaking. “Well i beg your pardon Banzai -he emphasized the name- but its not like any of you have taken the time to introduce yourselves. I’m no psychic you know, I won’t know any of your names unless you tell me. and before I tell you mine, it would only be fair as to enlighten me as to yours. It is 3 to 1 after all. I’m outnumbered and defenseless. so, what will it be then? Not that hard you know…” he purred tauntingly.

His eyes quickly darted toward shenzi once again as she spoke boldly. A slight chill coursed down his spine. “No, i shall not be doing that. I tend to avoid lions when possible,” he spoke with a theatrically bored yawn. Before continuing however, a smile reappeared on his face and he got to his feet, delighted in shenzi’s passion on the subject. he smelled opportunity to meddle, and he enjoyed the prospect. “But, lions are just larger versions of cats, are they not? You mean to tell me that a group of kitties has you all huddled here in this sulfuric wasteland while they sit high on a rock?” he finished with a curt laugh. “You know why cats enjoy climbing things and sitting high on our perches? because we are smart enough to know thats all it takes to make other believe we are superior. and these kitties seem to have claimed the biggest perch of all it sounds. Pride Rock? hmmm it has a ring to it. I wouldn’t blame you for being to coward to claim the perch for yourself as it seems rather intimidating.” he purred.

The doorknob let out a disgruntled “hmph” before cheshire quickly interjected himself. “Yes Yes my dear, there are certainly other ways we could have come to wonderland, but mine was simply the fastest. Now, before you offend the one last thing standing between you and the wondrous wonders of wonderland… a few rules:” he gave her a worrisome grin, unsure how she would react to having ‘rules’. “Rule No. 2 -  there are listless amounts of impossible creatures in wonderland, creatures whom i assure you may be easily offended, do you understand?” he asked her calmly, needed a sign of assurance and acknowledgment before he brought her futher. He hadn’t brought an outsider into wonderland before, and if it didn’t go well he was certain the queen would not only remove his head, but wear his coat this winter as well. 

After a pause the doorknob cleared his throat “dear Cheshire, can we get on it with. i’d much like to return to my slumber if you’d be so kind!” he finished, irritation evident in his tiny voice. 

“Right, right. Eilonwy, look down. The ‘thing’ you are talking to is adorning that door there, you see? He is aptly named, Doorknob,” cheshire continued on with a chuckle. “Do not make fun of his diminutive size for it is not he who is disproportioned. Rather, he is just right and we are giants. Drink this, it will help,” he nodded his head toward a tiny vial atop a tiny table. His whiskers were tingling with anticipation, unsure if this was too much for Eilonwy to take in. He knew however that once they were past Doorknob and officially into wonderland, she would be able to adapt. he had confidence in her. 

She nodded and awaited the rules. “I do understand. But if rule number two is about these creatures and how I shan’t be offending them, what is rule number one? You haven’t told me one.” Eilonwy turned to this ‘doorknob’ and stared down at it in wonder. “A doorknob. Oh. Well hello…” It didn’t seem as if she could linger on one thought for long here as Cheshire moved to the next topic. She had to drink some potion to shrink her. She didn’t feel like a giant, but she didn’t dare disagree. “Alright..” She walked over to the tiny table and picked up the bottle. Carefully drinking its contents, she looked around as she shrunk. When she believed to be done, she craned her neck up and addressed Cheshire once more. “What now?”

Cheshire grinned wildly at her question. “Well Rule Number one is the easiest to remember of course. Rule Number 1: in wonderland there are no rules,” he chuckled and quickly adapted his size once she shrank down. “My goodness its been years since I’ve come in to wonderland the proper way. How boring!” he groaned and shook some dust from his fur. he then glided through the air, coming to a halt at Eilonwy’s shoulders. He took no time in comfortably perching upon them, gently wrapping himself along the back of her neck from shoulder to shoulder. “I daresay we’re ready. Doorknob if you please…” he directed his voice at the now average size door and smiled as it opened slowly. “My dear, welcome to wonderland…” he purred into Eilonwy’s ear as the bright sunlight and smell of fresh flowers filled the room. “Onward. come on,” he urged.

[have fun with this! make up anything you want about what is in wonderland… i dont mind!]

Shenzi curled her lips. Not only was this weird creature calling her power over her territory in question (sort of) and blatantly making himself at home in said territory, no, now, he was also insulting them.   
”Excuse me?!”, she hissed. “‘Our stench renders your vacation’?! So – Argh! Why don’t ya –” It wasn’t easy formulating a reply when your dialogue partner was infuriating you.

Ed shyly peeked at the cat, still hiding behind Banzai.
– Well, maybe he could ask him something.

“… Ed o’er here wants to know if your name’s Gizmo.” Banzai shrugged, pointing at Ed.

Shenzi turned at her friends, glaring. “Ban’”, she purred sweetly. “The – friendly animal on this tusk just said that we’re makin’ his ‘holiday resort’ smelly.”

Banzai blinked. He felt slightly insulted, for sure, but … He knew this place better than the Chesire Cat. Thus, he had to correct him instantly. 
”It’s not us”, he clarified, grinning lopsidedly. “It’s these vapours. They stink really bad, ya know.”

Shenzi rolled her eyes at him. She had to thank Banzai for giving the feline (… it was a feline, wasn’t it?) something else to make fun of.

Cheshire decided to make a spectacle of himself as he stretched out him limbs and back and walked a few circles before laying down on his belly, tightly tucking his limbs and tail around him as he did so. once settled, he gave a wink to the one called Ed and then grinned proudly at the leader, knowing his ease of comfort would rustle her fur more.

Eilonwy pouted. “Well I have ended up in places that I haven’t meant to go just by missaying a spell. Perhaps that would have been easier than whatever that just was. Tis true I wouldn’t have gotten here first, but eventually I could have landed here- and much more softly too!” She rubbed at the back of legs somewhat to demonstrate her point. “Hmmpf. Not a scrape but probably some bruises!” She shook her head, letting it go.

Then a strange voice echoed about the room. She looked and there was a small door with some metal contraption attached to it. “Before I drink anything, I should like to know with whom—or what— I am speaking too.”

The doorknob let out a disgruntled “hmph” before cheshire quickly interjected himself. “Yes Yes my dear, there are certainly other ways we could have come to wonderland, but mine was simply the fastest. Now, before you offend the one last thing standing between you and the wondrous wonders of wonderland… a few rules:” he gave her a worrisome grin, unsure how she would react to having ‘rules’. “Rule No. 2 -  there are listless amounts of impossible creatures in wonderland, creatures whom i assure you may be easily offended, do you understand?” he asked her calmly, needed a sign of assurance and acknowledgment before he brought her futher.

After a pause the doorknob cleared his throat “dear Cheshire, can we get on it with. i’d much like to return to my slumber if you’d be so kind!” he finished, irritation evident in his tiny voice. 

“Right, right. Eilonwy, look down. The ‘thing’ you are talking to is adorning that door there, you see? He is aptly named, Doorknob,” cheshire continued on with a chuckle. “Do not make fun of his diminutive size for it is not he who is disproportioned. Rather, he is just right and we are giants.

he sighed at her confusion and grinned a comforting grin her way. “I’m sorry for this, but you’ll understand eventually” he purred before giving her a shove and toppling her into the hole. he peered over the edge, turning his ears forward to hear her. Would she be laughing or screaming? he wondered. after a few minutes he realized he had forgotten to go to the bottom and meet her. he quickly evaporated and reappeared in a small room, perching himself atop a table as his tail twitched, anxiously awaiting her arrival with a grin.

“Whaa——” Suddenly, she was falling down the rabbit hole. At first she wondered how that even could have happened but then she realized how long a fall it was and she screamed out of pure terror. Rabbit holes should never be so deep! After passing many a strange thing, rocking chairs, tea cups, and mirrors alike, she not-so-gracefully landed on her rump. She stood up and brushed herself off before angrily turning to the cat. “Why did you push me?! Why couldn’t I just appear here like you?!”

He winced as she landed with a thump, but silently thanked the stars she landed on her rear and not her head. without a second of hesitation, she lashed her anger towards him, and he sat frozen and unphased until she was done shouting questions. “I’m truely sorry my dear for the shove, but I suspected you wouldn’t have willingly jumped into the darkness had I instructed you to do so. And all your time-wasting questions just gave me the ‘push’ i needed to make the decision for you.” he grinned wickedly and winked at her for his choice of words. “Besides, as magical as you may be, you don’t have evaporating skills such as myself. Even the greatest magicians need to visualize the place they wish to reappear to, and how do you propose to do that, having never been to wonderland yourself, hmmm?” he turned the questioning back at her and flicked his tail, eagerlly hoping her temper would soon cool. She looked so silly in this tiny proportioned room. She dwarfed everything, and her expression was amusing as she took it in. In efforts to speed the process along, he quickly added “Look at you, not a scrape.. nothing to fear.”

as the two spoke audibly, a soft yawn filled the air. “5 more minutes,” a voice mumbled before startling fully awake. “Oh! chess its you… with a visitor…” the voice spoke nervously, taking in Eilonwy’s giantess stature. ”Best take a drink ma’am… things will be better then” a brass doorknob adorning a tiny door nervously spoke to the pair.

“Off we go!” he triumphiantly shouted in response to her words, leaping into the air and marching alongside her at shoulder height. he kept a keen eye to the bushes, hoping to see that obnoxious rabbit in a waistcoat, or better yet, just his hole. They didn’t actually need to find a rabbit, just its home. suddenly he stopped and grinned as he spotted the perfect hole. “ahh yes. perfect. lets take a look my dear” he spoke as he guided over towards the hole. looking down he saw that to an untrained eye it looked like a normal hole, not even very deep. But he knew better. he knew that where the shadows took over and darkness tricked the eyes, the hole would actually fall forever. he then eyed his companion, unsure if she would willingly jump in, or need a gentle “push”.

She giggled lightly at his response, “Why yes! Let us be off.” Eilonwy followed him to a rabbit hole and peered down into as he did. “I’m sorry, but I do believe you are mistaken. There isn’t a rabbit here! Perhaps we should keep looking?” She looked back to the cat, confused to why he believed this to be ‘perfect.’

he sighed at her confusion and grinned a comforting grin her way. “I’m sorry for this, but you’ll understand eventually” he purred before giving her a shove and toppling her into the hole. he peered over the edge, turning his ears forward to hear her. Would she be laughing or screaming? he wondered. after a few minutes he realized he had forgotten to go to the bottom and meet her. he quickly evaporated and reappeared in a small room, perching himself atop a table as his tail twitched, anxiously awaiting her arrival with a grin.
