Oooh~ how about a Rune factory 4 & 5 ask for Scarlett ,Dolace and Clorica with an S/O that's the opposite of them personality wise. They're just hyperactive, bubbly and a bit mischievous

(Rune Factory 4/5) Scarlett, Dolce, and Clorica with a hyper S/O

I just started replaying RF4/5 so I'm very much at risk of vanishing again, but I will try my best not to. (Project Zomboid and painting my space marines is doing a good job of that anyway)

Scarlett's duty as a ranger of SEED is to make sure the peace is maintained in Rigbarth.

Which her lover does a very good job of disrupting, much to her annoyance.

Whether it's indulging Cecil and his tendencies to investigate "mysteries", going along with Ludmilla's plans, or whatever the hell Ares and Alice was up to, S/O was at the scene of the crime.

Her fingers pinch the bridge of her nose as she sighs in frustration.

Meanwhile, S/O just laughs and bats their eyes innocently.

(S/O) "Hello, Scarlett!~"

(Scarlett) "Do not use that tone of voice with me. What are you doing?"

(S/O) "If I tell you, will you not get mad?"

Scarlett crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow.

(Scarlett) "That depends on your answer."

Though truthfully, Scarlett is grateful that S/O is with her at all, despite their difference in personality.

She's aware of her tendency to be a bit square and rigid, yet S/O loved her all the same.

Their overbearing love teaches her to loosen up, at least in some capacity.

Because sometimes, it was a bit too much.

(Scarlett) "S/O, I refuse to let you redecorate your room!"

(S/O) "Aw, but it'll be really cute!"

(Scarlett) "My face plastered all over your walls is not cute!"

(S/O) "...Palmo thought it was a good idea-"

(Scarlett) "CEASE AND DESIST!"

Dolce's face remains unchanged as both S/O and Pico engage in tomfoolery around Selphia.

Especially the fights where they fight for her "eternal love".

(Pico) "NO! Milady is MINE!"

(S/O) "Dolce would choose me, right sweetie?!"

(Dolce) "Call me that again, and I'll choose to do violence to both of you."

She dares not utter a word of how much she enjoys watching S/O brighten her day, lest she never get to live it down.

Pico and S/O would tease her about it until the end of time.

And since Pico was already a ghost, she actually could do that.

Rarely, Dolce cracks a smile as they both get reprimanded by Nancy.

(Nancy) "S/O, Pico? What have we talked about regarding fighting during breakfast?"

Nancy's menacing smile is enough to get both of them to sit up straight almost bend 90 degrees to apologize.

Making Dolce giggle softly.

(Dolce) "So that's what it takes to make you two be quiet? Maybe I should ask for Nancy to come with us at all times."

(S/O) "N-Not that I'd mind but...!"

(Jones) "Now now, Dolce. Us old timers shouldn't be interfering with your love life."

Dolce's eyes widened a little at Jones' teasing, making Pico and S/O laugh now, with even Nancy joining in.

Dolce glares at the two of them.

(Dolce) "I will kill you two."

Every dramatic and affectionate gesture makes Dolce blush madly, as she tries her best to keep her poker face intact.

All the while, Pico is either hissing, or encouraging S/O.

Clorica is unused to the sheer energy S/O brings to her. And here she thought Amber was a lot sometimes.

But it wasn't unwelcome at all. Having someone so bouncy was helpful in keeping her awake.

...Most of the time.

Whenever she performed her duties around the castle, she always had S/O to talk with, usually about something amusing happening around Selphia or just nothing in particular.

(S/O) "Cloricaaaaa!"

Clorica spun around and caught S/O, who leapt into her arms dramatically.

She almost fell over, but managed to stand her ground, letting out a soft giggle.

(Clorica) "Hello, S/O. I just got done with my duties for now. Would you like to get lunch?"

(S/O) "Heck yeah! I'm starving, let's get going already!"

Clorica is almost dragged along, making her smile even bigger.

Despite how enthusiastic they were, they always made sure to never force Clorica to do anything.

And even S/O understood that sometimes, she just needed the nap.

(Clorica) zzzz.....

(S/O) "Wow! It never fails to amaze me that she can sleep while cleaning!"

(Vishnal) "I aspire to reach that level of efficiency!

(S/O) "Maybe I can ask her to teach us that!"

(Lest) "I...don't think anyone can be at Clorica's level when it comes to that..."

(Frey) "Not even us."

(S/O) "It's a worth a shot! I'm already halfway there, she taught me how to fall asleep on command! Watch-"

THUD!

(Clorica) "...Huh?"

Clorica's eyes slowly blinked open before her head fell down, and went back asleep.

[lunarianborn]

A list of small headcanons/facts about moon-boi taken from the novels, and that would be too short for clio’s stardards hhh for an individual post:

-- Biggs recalls of how, at the very beginning of the Red Wings’ life, Cecil was appointed fleet captain and of how that itself served as an incentive for recruitment: many young Baronian boys volunteered as soldier at the news, both dreaming of flying on those iconic airships one day, and also driven by the story of a orphan like Cecil managing to be named its captain. Of course, he was a special case, but Biggs mentions he too is not a nobleman. With Biggs being appointed captain of the Red Wings in After Years, you can see this ‘promise of glory’ wasn’t so far-fetched.

--  Nonetheless (and opposite of how Biggs will be once Ceodore comes around) Cecil used to be a very relaxed and friendly captain, at first at the very least. It is mentioned of how promptly Cecil would have forgiven soldiers for forgetting tasks or stances, or how he would have not scolded them for leaving their post by mistake.

--  Since parting ways in Fabul, Golbez still managed to keep an eye on Cecil and his progress and whereabouts thanks to a magical mirror. Gazing at it, he could see where Cecil was, what he was doing, constantly monitoring all of his movements. Somehow, Golbez can manipulate said mirror and even shift the reflected image. Considering Lunarian technology to be more advanced and the fact Zemus was still possessing Golbez, I presume the mirror was drawn to either Cecil’s Lunarian blood or by the darkness in his heart, growing ever stronger the more time he spent as a Dark Knight -- for once the mirror reflects Mount Ordeals and the place where Kluya awaits Cecil, the mirror is flooded by a sudden light which shatters the glass in countless of pieces, one of which tries to hurt Golbez too. He sends Scarmiglione to stop Cecil because he can’t keep an eye on him any longer.

--  Upon trying to grab Lightbringer, on top of the mountain, Cecil finds his fingers retreating and shaking, against his will. He soon understands it is the darkness inside his heart that tries to make him desist, his thoughts about it are quite the gem -- also considering this is one of the very few chapters with his direct POV and thoughts:

“Cecil moved his right hand, but stopped just before touching the hilt. His whole body began to quiver and his heart was suddenly full with fear. His fingers retreated. -- Someone is talking, behind me. Palom, maybe. I feel they are talking, but I can’t hear a word of what they’re all saying. -- He closed his eyes. -- I can’t feel a thing! -- He was struggling to keep his eyes shut. -- I can’t talk! I am refusing to hear things I don’t believe in! -- Darkness feared that light as much as children feared dark nights. He focused on his retreating hand. -- I can’t touch that light, the darkness in my heart is afraid of it and makes me hesitate! --. [...] He tried stretching his fingers open once more. -- Stop it! -- Darkness was screaming inside his heart. His hand trembled as it opened. Cecil could spread his fingers now, each one of them resembling a branch of a tree grasping for sunlight in the dry desert.”

--  According to Cid, Cecil did look similar to Luca’s Calca doll when he was a child, while Rosa looked like Brina.

--  Cecil risks of dying by the hand of Rosa, right after her rescue in Zot. Before the party could reach her, Golbez promised Kain a, I quote, good show, plus Rosa as rewards for his service and Cecil’s death. While Kain thinks he’s referring to the giant blade above the girl, that’s not the whole truth; as soon as Cecil frees her and they hug, in fact, Kain sees Rosa lifting her dagger and trying to stab Cecil’s back. Kain rushes and takes away the knife, and the impact and wound it leaves on her hand wakes Rosa up from Golbez’s mental control. Cecil never noticed a thing though, and only felt embarrassed by Kain’s weird reaction. More than an attempt to Cecil’s life, it’s more about symbolism, as Kain and Rosa, during her captivity, shared another scene with the same dagger.

--  With Cecilia dying of childbirth, Cecil was supposed to be taken into someone else’s house and adopted as soon as possible, needing care and a new place to stay. I plan to make a more detailed post about Cecilia’s story, so for now I’ll just throw here some facts. His hometown wasn’t Mist, although the villages models in the DS versions look the same -- it was instead located in the woods surrounding Mysidia. Many orphans would have been brought to Mysidia to be taken into the Prayer Tower to study magic under the guide of the Elder (like Palom & Porom), it’s safe to assume that would have been Cecil’s destiny as well, for most of his hometown’s villagers were old men and women, who would have struggled taking care of two orphaned children, Cecil and Theodor.

-- I want you all to know Cecil was gifted wooden toy airships by Cid, when he was little, and that he was also given a small rabbit doll, which he kept near his bed throughout his whole childhood. Big symbolism time, which shouldn’t come as a surprise for FFIV DS players, since Namingway and his tribe on the moon look like rabbits, and rabbits are said to be living on the moon / are associated with the moon in many legends and stories.

ALL: “Lost Alice”

WHITE RABBIT: Are you Alice? A beloved child.

THE HATTER: Who is Alice? An unloved child.

CHESHIRE CAT: Who’s to say who is Alice or who isn’t Alice?

WHITE RABBIT: Welcome to Wonderland! A never-ending paradise.

CHESHIRE CAT: Goodbye, oh normal world. A paradise about to meet its end.

THE HATTER: Fall! Slowly and slowly…

THE HATTER: Deeper and deeper…

CHESHIRE CAT: Now, let’s open the door to a new beginning.

THE HATTER: Climb! Gently and lightly…

THE HATTER: Higher and higher until you reach heaven…

WHITE RABBIT: Now, ring the bell of the beginning.

CHESHIRE CAT: Is this a dream?

WHITE RABBIT: Or is it reality?

THE HATTER: Lies and truth.

CHESHIRE CAT: They go hand in hand.

THE HATTER: To part with something or to acquire something.

WHITE RABBIT: What we gain and what we lose is…

  ***

  WHITE RABBIT: It was a fine May morning, surrounded by beautiful greenery.

WHITE RABBIT: What a magnificent sight it truly is.

WHITE RABBIT: It was a fun and exciting picnic where the sunlight shines on, the forest is brilliant, and you can hear the laughter of various people.

WHITE RABBIT: Yes. All but one was having fun…

ALBERT: Charles! Stop reading fairy tales in such a secluded place. Go and greet everybody.

ALBERT: After that is the tea party.

CHARLES: Why don’t you just go and do it, Big Brother Albert?

CHARLES: Why do I have to do something I don’t want to?

CHARLES: Honestly, I find these creepy tea parties very unnecessary!

CHARLES: Reading your boring books is even better.

ALBERT: Would you desist already? This is an age old tradition after all.

ALBERT: You are of age already. You have to be aware of your surroundings more now.

ALBERT: Good grief. It’s bothersome that you’ve only grown taller but not more mature.

ALBERT: Today is a very important custom for the Liddell Family. I can’t just let you do what you want.

ALBERT: It’s a picnic to deepen our relations with our friends and families.

CHARLES: There’s no one here who really wants to see me.

CHARLES: I’m sure they’ll only be talking gossip as they always do while drinking tea.

CHARLES: I’m very different from you, Big Brother. I’m an unloved child.

CHARLES: All I need is you.

ALBERT: Will you stop already?! It’s because you act like that that they think you’re unusual!

CHARLES: …! That’s right… I’m unusual! I’m not perfect like you, Big Brother!

CHARLES: Please, just leave me alone! (Charles starts to walk away)

ALBERT: Wait a minute, Charles! The forest is—

CHARLES: I hate you, Big Brother!

CHARLES: Ah…!

ALBERT: Watch out!

(Charles falls down the rabbit hole)

ALBERT: CHARLES!!

  ***

  (Charles wakes up after the long fall)

CHARLES: … Wh-where is this…?

CHARLES: I fell down a hole and then…

CHARLES: …! I can’t remember…

CHARLES: It’s completely dark. Where’s everyone? Big Brother?

CHARLES: Is no one here?

(Charles hears White Rabbit running)

WHITE RABBIT: This is bad, very bad! I won’t make it, I won’t!

WHITE RABBIT: I need this and that! If I don’t prepare them, I’ll be in trouble!

CHARLES: What’s wrong…?

WHITE RABBIT: Uwah--! Wh-who are you?! (White Rabbit suddenly stops running and runs into Charles)

WHITE RABBIT: O-ow…! Oh my, if it isn’t Alice!

WHITE RABBIT: What are you doing in a place like this?

CHARLES: Alice? My name’s not Alice. My name is Charles Liddell.

WHITE RABBIT: What are you saying? You are Alice! What should I call you aside from Alice?

WHITE RABBIT: You came from the world above, didn’t you?

CHARLES: That’s true… I don’t know what this place is. I don’t belong here.

WHITE RABBIT: Then, you really are Alice~! That’s what you’re called here.

WHITE RABBIT: My name’s White Rabbit. Nice to meet you, my friend~

CHARLES: Eh…?

WHITE RABBIT: Anyway, Alice, this is bad! We can’t just stand around here. Time waits for no one, see?

WHITE RABBIT: (he takes out a watch) I was just in the middle of turning back the hands on this clock.

WHITE RABBIT: But… This clock is broken and won’t do as I say.

WHITE RABBIT: (he turns the hands again) See? Just like this!

WHITE RABBIT: I keep turning them and turning them but… it’s a futile effort.

CHARLES: Why are you in such a hurry? What’s going on?

WHITE RABBIT: What do you mean ‘what’?! It’s a big a problem, really, a big one! Time is of the essence!

WHITE RABBIT: Time is money, you know? No, wait, it’s even more important than money.

WHITE RABBIT: It can’t be bought with money and it disappears before we know it. It is a thing to which we lose our precious things!

WHITE RABBIT: (with a sudden change of tone) It’s too late once you fail. Once you’ve lost it, life won’t give you the chance to fix it.

WHITE RABBIT: I…

WHITE RABBIT: I’ve failed many times so I know it well…

CHARLES: Then, what should we do?

WHITE RABBIT: That’s why I’m hurrying so it won’t happen again! Just like this…!

WHITE RABBIT: Even if… it’s futile…

WHITE RABBIT: It’s better to regret its results than regret doing nothing.

WHITE RABBIT: You can’t get used to the feeling of losing something no matter how many times it has happened.

WHITE RABBIT: But… not knowing what’s going to happen next is destiny.

WHITE RABBIT: And yet, once it actually happens we’re not prepared for it! We can just accept it.

WHITE RABBIT: Even when we try our hardest, there are times when we just can’t do anything!

WHITE RABBIT: That, too, is… fate…

WHITE RABBIT: But, there’s something I have to do. It’s my duty, you see?

WHITE RABBIT: See ya. I have to get going soon.

CHARLES: Wait! Where are you going?

CHARLES: I want to know the way home. This place is strange and cold… And it’s scary…

WHITE RABBIT: (in a serious and foreboding tone) There’s no way out. You just have to move forward.

WHITE RABBIT: (in his usual cheery tone) By the by~ You’re interested in where I’m going so are you going to help me~?

CHARLES: No, I just want to—

WHITE RABBIT: Thank you, Alice! I really need your help!

WHITE RABBIT: Wait, no. It can’t get started without you there! Definitely be there, okay!? (White Rabbit runs off)

CHARLES: Ah… Wait a minute, Mr. White Rabbit! Hey, please wait! (Charles starts running after him)

  ***

  CHARLES: (sighs) I lost sight of Mr. White Rabbit…

CHARLES: I’m the one who needs some help.

CHARLES: Geez… I don’t even know where I am.

CHARLES: Tch. What’s really going on?!

CHARLES: (trips on a bush) Uwah! O-ow… What’s with this bush!? I’m really down on my luck today…

FLOWER A: (laughs) What a pathetic Alice. Tripping on a rock and rolling down. Serves you right~

CHARLES: (gasps) The flower spoke!

FLOWER B: Who decided that flowers can’t talk~?

FLOWER B: As if we’d keep quiet about something as interesting as this!

FLOWER A: More importantly, this time’s Alice is a little dunce, huh?

FLOWER C: Yes~ Plus, he’s very self-centred.

FLOWER C: Even though he just tripped on his own, he blames it on other people and he’s very irritated~

FLOWER D: (giggles) Yoo-ho~ We’re not really people though~ We’re flowers.

FLOWER A: This is my first time seeing an Alice like this. The ones before were elegant and friendly.

FLOWER A: Really, he’s such an unusual Alice~

CHARLES: Shut up! What would you know about me?

FLOWER D: He’s so harsh with words, too, oh my~

FLOWER D: Looks like he doesn’t have manners, nya~

FLOWER C: Uwoohhh~ Oh, so scary~ He’s so quick to yell.

FLOWER B: He’s got no good points, huh~

FLOWER D: So true~

FLOWER C: Such a pitiful one.

FLOWER and B: (laughs)

CHARLES: …! (he runs away)

CHARLES: It’s always like this…

CHARLES: No matter where I go… There’s no one who understands me!

CATERPILLAR: (turning pages) Volume 6… “The Origins of the Forest”…  About 100 pages…

CATERPILLAR: This substance is Thee up of carbonated water and calcium as the main ingredients… I’m sure it’ll react well with sweetened water.

CATERPILLAR: A doline is a hole on the earth’s surface… I see.

CATERPILLAR: Page 64 of the tax structures…

CATERPILLAR: Inheritance is a fortune that’s divided and changed depending on the amount of people who’ll receive it… I see…

CATERPILLAR: Then there’s… page 81 of the analysis on the mind…

CATERPILLAR: The unconsciousness of a person compared to the consciousness is…

CHARLES: Um… Isn’t it difficult to read more than one book at once?

CHARLES: I’m pretty sure it’ll be easier to read and understand one at a time…

CATERPILLAR: That may be the case for you but it’s not for me.

CATERPILLAR: This is further proved that I can still hear and understand you perfectly at the same time. Worry not.

CATERPILLAR: “There’s no one who understands me!” There was so much displeasure in that sentence.

CATERPILLAR: (closes his book) However, there is no need to be so down, Alice.

CATERPILLAR: A person finds it hard to understand himself so you shouldn’t be bothered about not being understood by others.

CHARLES: …! Then what about you?

CATERPILLAR: It is in me not understanding myself that I can understand more.

CATERPILLAR: Unlike you, see?

CATERPILLAR: I am but a mere caterpillar. Nothing more, nothing less.

CATERPILLAR: But, it is quite humorous to see you irritated about others not understanding you when you don’t understand yourself.

CHARLES: I don’t… want to understand myself either.

CATERPILLAR: You recognize that and yet you’re unable to understand others.

CATERPILLAR: Well, I guess that’s just about what you’re capable of.

CATERPILLAR: (laughs) ‘Read a book one at a time,’ you say?

CATERPILLAR: I didn’t think that you’d suggest that to a reader.

CATERPILLAR: Do you think that books have more value than yourself?

CHARLES: I mean… Books are more important than people, aren’t they?

CATERPILLAR: You’re quite the selfish one.

CATERPILLAR: You think only of yourself and not consider what others are thinking.

CATERPILLAR: That is… simply your logic.

CATERPILLAR: More so—

CHARLES: Enough, please! I don’t want to hear any more.

CHARLES: You’re nagging too much like Big Brother does!

CATERPILLAR: Let’s see here… That person is…

CATERPILLAR: Is he really a bad person? Or is he only bad in your perception?

CATERPILLAR: Moreover, listen until a person finis—

CHARLES: That’s not true! I’ve heard enough. Please excuse me.

  ***

  CHARLES: This place is really full of weird people!

(cat bell rings)

CHESHIRE CAT: (chuckles) I wonder what they mean by ‘unusual’~

CHESHIRE CAT: Answering what’s unusual or not is difficult, huh~

CHESHIRE CAT: Anyway, is that something that you can say?

CHARLES: Who--!? There’s no one here… Even though there’s a voice…

CHESHIRE CAT: I wonder~ Who am I, really~?

CHESHIRE CAT: ‘I am someone, and I am not.’

CHESHIRE CAT: The only one who can decide that is you.

CHESHIRE CAT: The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really that difficult~

CHESHIRE CAT: When I am not here then I am not.

CHESHIRE CAT: When I am here, then I am here.

CHESHIRE CAT: Such as when there’s a front, there’s a behind.

CHESHIRE CAT: I’m that much of a contradictory existence.

CHESHIRE CAT: The others call me Cheshire Cat.

CHESHIRE CAT: (laughs) Do you hate strange people, boy?

CHARLES: (deep breath) Yes. I’ve only been troubled the moment I arrived here!

CHARLES: The guy I asked for the way home won’t tell me and he hurried off.

CHARLES: Some flowers just kept on making fun of me even though they knew nothing about me…!

CHARLES: I’m this troubled and yet no one will help me!

CHESHIRE CAT: Is that so, is that so? You’re troubled, huh~

CHESHIRE CAT: You said you wanted to go home?

CHESHIRE CAT: Unfortunately, no one here’s really an ally or an enemy.

CHESHIRE CAT: It’d be best to keep that in mind.

CHESHIRE CAT: Hm~ You reeeeaaally don’t know anything, do you?

CHESHIRE CAT: You’re as sweet as can be.

CHESHIRE CAT: But that doesn’t mean that you can just be protected by anyone anywhere.

CHESHIRE CAT: You are free here. There’s no right or wrong. You’re free to live the way you want to~

CHESHIRE CAT: That’s right, freely~

CHESHIRE CAT: You don’t dislike that right, boy? Being free.

CHESHIRE CAT: And yet, you’re so displeasured.

CHESHIRE CAT: ‘Alice is really unusual,’ was it~?

CHESHIRE CAT: (laughs in a taunting kind of way)

CHARLES: You speak as if you know everything.

CHESHIRE CAT: Well, not everything~

CHESHIRE CAT: What I know is the same as what you do.

CHESHIRE CAT: In other words, as long as you know it then I will, too~

CHESHIRE CAT: Hey, Alice.

CHESHIRE CAT: Do you really want to go home?

CHARLES: … O-of course I do!

CHESHIRE CAT: Heh~ ‘of course,’ huh?

CHESHIRE CAT: Then, I think you should go that way~

CHESHIRE CAT: I’m sure there’s some delicious food over there. You’re hungry aren’t you, boy~?

CHESHIRE CAT: Eat your fill first.

CHARLES: I’m not hungry!

CHESHIRE CAT: No~ You are.

(Charles’ stomach grumbles)

CHARLES: …!

CHESHIRE CAT: See? (laughs) You’re not gonna be late going home anyway.

CHESHIRE CAT: I’m pretty sure you’ll find what you need there, Alice~

THE HATTER: Cheers to the tea party where anything goes!

MARCH HARE: Cheers~! The Hatter really knows how to throw a party! Let’s all let our hearts out and enjoy this to the fullest~

(glass breaks)

THE HATTER: (laughs) Goodness, this cake is marvellous! It flies so well with the cup.

DORMOUSE: (nervously) A-ah… that cup is… the thirteenth cup you’ve broken…

DORMOUSE: Uwah…! So wasteful… Why did you do that…? It’s the end of the world…

THE HATTER: Oh, Dormouse! Let us enjoy no matter what happens!

THE HATTER: Also, it is because we’ve already broken so many that we need not be aware of what we throw next!

THE HATTER: Plus, everything that holds shape will be broken someday.

MARCH HARE: I wouldn’t dare think that even a stylish cup like this could be broken.

MARCH HARE: This might be an omen for something good~! Woah, this is the best!

THE HATTER: Exactly! If you keep in mind that we can buy new cups then, see, what do you think~?

THE HATTER: The fun will increase!

DORMOUSE: That… may be… Yeah, that’s right!

DORMOUSE: Then let me break my remaining cups, too. Cheers~

(laughter erupts from the trio)

CHARLES: (quietly) Amazing…! They’re doing toasts using tea cups. If I did that at a normal tea party, Big Brother will surely scold me.

(Charles steps on a twig)

THE HATTER: Oh my, this is…! (he claps his hands) March Hare, Dormouse, we have a guest~

THE HATTER: Young Master, your hand please. (he grabs Charles’ hand)

THE HATTER: Now, over here please.

CHARLES: A-ah, please wait a minute... U-um… I’m looking for the way home and—

THE HATTER: Let’s leave the talk for later. Have a seat first.

THE HATTER: Now, this should be fine. Everyone, please greet Young Master Alice.

MARCH HARE: Welcome, Alice~ Cute guests are always welcome! I am now a very happy March Hare~

MARCH HARE: (giggles) You’re very lucky to have met me, Alice~

CHARLES: N-nice to meet you… You’re quite energetic, aren’t you?

THE HATTER: The March Hare is truly a strange one so we have no idea what he’ll do next! He is unpredictable~

THE HATTER: You might get eaten if you come too close to him.

MARCH HARE: Hey, hey, Hatter, that’s too much of a compliment~ Flattery will get you nowhere, you know~?

THE HATTER: (laughs) It’s your turn next! Come on, now’s not the time to be sleeping.

THE HATTER: Please pour some tea for Alice.

DORMOUSE: (yawns) Sure… I am… always sleepy so I’m a Dormouse…

DORMOUSE: The tea that I’d recommend is… (sleepily) the Darjeeling from… this pot…

DORMOUSE: It’s the best—(yawns) tea there is… (snores)

(the tea cups and stuff clatter as Dormouse falls asleep on the table)

CHARLES: Ah, this is bad…!

THE HATTER: It is fine! It’s a normal thing that happens in this tea party.

THE HATTER: It’s a small matter to be angry over. Moreover, he’s participating even though he’s sleeping so it’s fine~

DORMOUSE: (sleep talking) Please continue…

CHARLES: Ah… It’s true…! This is my first time in a tea party like this!

CHARLES: It’s refreshing and very fun, isn’t it?

THE HATTER: Thank you, Young Master! The Darjeeling pot has been ruined so let’s drink some other tea.

THE HATTER: What pastry would you like to eat?

MARCH HARE: Oh yeah~ How about the usual cookie. That special one that you always keep in your hat, Hatter~

THE HATTER: That is a NICE idea! (he takes off his hat to give some cookies) This is what ‘taking your hat off to someone’ really means~

THE HATTER: This is what I call the Hatter hospitality. Would you like one, Young Master?

CHARLES: Woah, they look delicious! Such cute hat-shaped cookies. Thank you!

(alarm rings)

THE HATTER: Oh, no, you can’t! (he snatches the cookie away from Charles)

CHARLES: What are you doing? You said I could eat it a while ago! Didn’t you give that to me?

THE HATTER: It is a law that the tea party should take a break once in a while.

THE HATTER: This alarm is the signal for that break.

THE HATTER: Well, even though we say that, this alarm is broken so we don’t know when it will go off.

CHARLES: No way…! Isn’t it a weird rule for a tea party to require a break at all?

CHARLES: There’s no way that it’s a law, is there?

MARCH HARE: Even if you tell us that, it’s a decided thing. We were told to strictly obey it.

THE HATTER: It’s unnecessary but at the same time it is. This world is just like that.

DORMOUSE: (sleep-talking) You’re quite the… unusual one, huh… Alice… (snores)

THE HATTER: (laughs) You say such interesting things, Young Master. Really, very wonderful.

(Charles slams his hand on the table)

CHARLES: It’s not interesting at all! (the tea sets clatter)

DORMOUSE: (snaps awake and panics) That way of speaking…! Did the King of Hearts suddenly appear?!

CHARLES: No, I’m not the King.

THE HATTER: Then, are you close to the King?

THE HATTER: Please forgive us…! We’ll do this properly. We’ll make it interesting like you wish!

THE HATTER: Please… Smile more…

THE HATTER: We beg of you… Please spare our lives…!

CHARLES: Um… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you this much.

CHARLES: Please raise your head, Mr. Hatter.

MARCH HARE: Alice, that’s the one thing you shouldn’t say to the Hatter.

MARCH HARE: That it’s not interesting, I mean.

MARCH HARE: Those words are taboo.

DORMOUSE: His life’s… riding on it, you see…?

DORMOUSE: The King’s orders are… absolute.

THE HATTER: One day, we were just doing a tea party like we usually do.

THE HATTER: It was nothing big, really. Very peaceful it was, yes.

THE HATTER: However, we were happily content with it.

THE HATTER: Reuniting with our friends, talking and laughing about random things while drinking delicious tea. It was your usual tea party.

THE HATTER: That’s when he suddenly appeared! The King of Hearts!

THE HATTER: “How uninteresting! What an uneventful tea party!” is what he told me.

THE HATTER: “Make it grander! Make it overflow with fun, don’t be afraid. Make this a perfect and free tea party!” he said.

THE HATTER: “If not…  I will have your head…” is what he told me.

CHARLES: Unbelievable…!

THE HATTER: Ever since then, it feels as if our time has stopped.

THE HATTER: No matter how many times it happens, we just repeat the same time over again.

THE HATTER: This fun tea party bound by harsh time will continue on until the King tells us to stop.

DORMOUSE: It’s not like… we’re doing it because we want to…

MARCH HARE: We have no choice. There’s just no other way. We have to make it fun even if it’s boring. Or else we’ll lose our heads.

THE HATTER: Alice went all the way here and yet we disappointed him.

THE HATTER: I am such a failure of a Hatter. A big fool who can’t do anything…!

CHARLES: That’s not true! Mr. Hatter’s not useless. You have to treasure yourself more.

CHARLES: Thank you for inviting me, I had a lot of fun.

THE HATTER: Young Master Alice…

CHARLES: I understand how you feel, Mr. Hatter. I’m always being reproved by my Big Brother, too.

CHARLES: But, this is too strange. We have to tell the King of Hearts or e— (alarm rings)

THE HATTER: Break time is over! I’m full of energy again after Alice’s encouragement.

THE HATTER: Thank you! We’re already used to it so it’s okay.

THE HATTER: We don’t want to hurt your feelings. Now, let us resume the tea party!

THE HATTER: Now then, where should we begin?

MARCH HARE: From the part where we were eating sweets while toasting.

MARCH HARE: Then, next up is riddle time.

DORMOUSE: I’ll be careful not to fall asleep… (yawns)

THE HATTER: Now then, let us enjoy this! With smiles on our faces.

THE HATTER: That’s the rule after all~ It’s the only way our heads can stay with our bodies.

DORMOUSE: With a grin and… a fun attitude…

CHARLES: No way… That’s not fun at all! I’ll go to where the King is.

CHARLES: There’s no need for you to follow such absurd rules.

CHARLES: You can’t give up! If you really want to change then…

THE HATTER: Of course I would prefer having genuine fun from the bottom of my heart.

THE HATTER: I do but…

CHARLES: I don’t know how I’ll do it but… I’m sure there’s a way!

CHARLES: That’s why let’s have courage to move forward.

CHARLES: Come on, let’s go.

MARCH HARE: That’s totally impossible~ Plus, it’s troublesome. Isn’t this fine~

DORMOUSE: (yawns) I won’t get scolded if I just sleep here… (snores)

CHARLES: I get it, you’re right. I don’t know what will happen if I go unprepared.

CHARLES: It’s scary, huh… Sorry for forcing it on you.

THE HATTER: I will go.

CHARLES: …!

THE HATTER: I will believe in Alice. And then, I’ll try believing in myself, too.

THE HATTER: Let us go together!

DORMOUSE: (sleepily) Are you really going…?

MARCH HARE: Hatter! It won’t be my fault if something happens.

THE HATTER: I am aware! Moreover, I am quite curious about Alice.

THE HATTER: It seems like he’s looking for a way home so I will help him as well.

CHARLES: Mr. Hatter…

CHARLES: I don’t know what I can do but if I’m with you I feel like I can figure it out.

CHARLES: The way to move forward…

CHARLES: Now then, let’s go!
