Dummies' Guide to Alice in Wonderland

"Good afternoon," Thursday greeted from the front of the class. Behind her, as she spoke, a cat started to appear out of nowhere - grin first. "First of all, you should all know that Hamlet Dane is now the TA for this class. This week we're discussing Alice in Wonderland. Those of you from 20th century Earth would at least know it by reputation."

"I have a reputation?" the appearing cat said.

Thursday stepped aside and looked back. "Apparently," she replied. "As promised, we have a guest in our class today. This is the Unitary Authority of Warrington Cat, or the Cat Formerly Known As Cheshire. You would know him from the novel as the Cheshire Cat."

The Cat looked around the room with eyes that just appeared into view. "Does anyone have any Mogglicious cat food?"

Thursday continued without waiting for anyone to answer him. "The Cat is here to prove a point. Last week we discussed the power of words. Today's topic is how words can be used to confuse. Each of you are free to ask the Cat any questions. He will answer as he pleases."

"What if I please not to answer at all?"

"No Mogglicious."

The Cat appeared into full view. "Shall we begin?" he asked with a grin.

Lana smiled at him. "Good morning. How are you today?"

Cameron frowned, wondering what kind of question you ask a cat.

"Don't you get tired from grinning like that?"

Having heard the others, Hermione frowns and asks, "Why can you never give a straight answer?"

"Would you rather be another color and design? Stripes aren't flattering."

"Do you ever feel like not grinning?" Layla asked.

"What's the Unitary Authority of Warrington?" Dawn asked.

Re: Talk to the Cat

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Fictional Cat Dude. How's it hanging?"

Re: Talk to the Cat

[notajar]

"Good morning," Door says. She'd ask about the Unitary Authority of Warrington, but Dawn already got enough of an answer for her to piece it out. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Have you met Faithful yet? He's another cat who speaks English."

"Why Mogglicious? Wouldn't Fancy Feast be just as good?"

Talk to Each Other

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

While you're waiting your turn, or if you just feel like it. The Cat may butt in if he so pleases.

Re: Talk to Each Other

"I want to be able to do that."

Talk to Thursday

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

She's sitting off to the side being amused. Don't mind her. Feel free to chat to her, though.

Extra Credit

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Today's extra credit question is: Why is a raven like a writing desk? Be creative.

Re: Extra Credit

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory smiled, and decided to go with her favorite answer, though she knew the others.

It is nevar put with the wrong end in front.

OOC

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Yep, he's a fictional character and he knows it. Feel free to "WTF?" at Thursday if you want to.

Re: OOC

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

I'm about to go to bed, but I'll be up in about 9 hours. Once I'm up and about, the Cat will keep talking at you until you OOCly tell me to make him stop or until I run out of things to say. It's the Cheshire cat and all his randomness, so the latter isn't likely.
