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.

"Well no, but..." He frowned. "It really doesn't matter what I'm going to say, does it?"

"That depends. Do you know where you want the conversation to end up?"

"With me still feeling sane, preferably."

The Cat chuckled. "Well that's never going to happen."

Cameron raised an eyebrow. "I could just walk away now..."

"If you did, then that would be the answer to your question. It doesn't matter what you say if you're going to end the conversation." He flicked his tail.

"Uh... I guess?" he frowned.

"Ooh I like guessing. Let me try. I guess...pumpernickel!"

"No!" Cameron blinked. "You need to let me think of something first before you start guessing."
