It was dark and Lilly had absolutely no idea where she was, all she knew was that at the moment she was cold, and was now in some sort of forest.
She kept her head on a swivel, looking around hoping to spot anything that might identify where she was, and what was this new world that she was in.
In truth, she had been ripped away from her destination, and for once she didn't understand why. Usually when her shatter jump sent her to different places, it at least happened in the void, but this time...this time it was like the ground had been ripped out from under her feet, throwing her, quite violently, into this new world, in fact, she had the injuries to prove it, that being a rather large gash on her forehead and another large gash to her side. Even her clothes had been changed in the jump, leaving her wearing a black button up shirt, black pants and boots, and a green colonial style jacket with Brown gloves, her sword had changed to a regular sized katana, which was strapped to her hip. While undoubtedly it was her style, it was still not what she was wearing before.
Her long white hair seemed to glow in the light of the full moon, her neon green eyes kept darting around as this place made her feel uneasy.
Lilly finally leaned against a tree, placing a hand on her injured side, she winced slightly, pulling her hand away and flicking off blood. "...bloody hell..." she murmured quietly. Hearing something moving close by caused Lilly's guard to instantly come up. It sounded like footsteps, and usually, that was never good, keeping a hand close to her sword, she began to approach the sound, moving surprisingly quiet and fast given her condition.
Lilly froze, seeing a figure, who was currently cloaked in the darkness of the forest. "....." she didn't draw her sword, though, hesitating because she wasn't sure of the threat level, she knew that she would be in trouble if she were actually put in a position where she needed to fight.

Hatter had currently been walking through the field of laughter when he felt a disturbance in (The Force......I'm kidding) wonderland as if the fabric of this reality had been cut or ripped open, allowing someone or something in. He stops in his tracks and listens to the wind and the sounds around him, he soon locates where this said thing had landed.....The Dark Forest. He smells the air, it caused him to sneeze for it was filled with the scent of blood, and that was not good, if Alice's spirit/soul catches this scent.......for if she did catch whoever was bleeding, then she would be able to rise again, and Hatter could not let that happen, he had to find this injured being and fast. He rushes down the black path of sorrow, which lead to The Dark Forest. Once he had entered the forest, he smelled the air again, the smell of blood was getting stronger, he sneezes again, he gets down on the ground and smells the dirt, trying to estimate how far this being was. "Curse it, where is Cheshire when I actually have need of him?!" Hatter mumbles as he stands back up, he freezes when he hears footsteps, they were close, and they were coming towards him.....fast.
Hatter just stands there, staring at the dark figure which was now before him, this said being was a bit on the small side, well smaller than him anyway, it looked to be a woman, but the main question that he had running through his head was 'was she a friend or foe?' and 'what was she doing here?' Lilly finally decided to make the first move, she stepped out of the shadows. "Where am I?" she asked quietly, so only he could hear her. She half expected to have not been seen. Hatter decided to put up a warm front until he could find out whether or not she was a friend or foe. "My lady, you are in the delightful world of wonderland, the world that hides in between reality and the dream realm." Lilly blinked a couple of times. ".....so, a demented void....that's a new one....." she murmured, then wincing slightly as she placed her hand to her side. "In any case, it's nice to meet you...mister.....?" she paused, not sure how to address him. Hatter's well known insane grin appears on his face, he takes off his top hat and bows dramatically. "My name, Dear lady, is The Mad Hatter." he introduces himself cheerfully, he slowly stands up and places his hat back onto his head. "May I ask miss, what your name is?" he asks curiously. Lilly bowed back slightly. "My name is Lilly." She glanced around, the forest still making her uneasy, she could sense that something was off.....something dangerous. "I see," he says. "Miss Lilly, may I ask whether or not your an ally to wonderland?" he asks as he takes a step closer, Lilly stood her ground as she looks up at him. "I'm not a friend......nor am I a foe.....I would like nothing more than to return to where I come from......however, I often do not end up in places without a good reason," she says quietly. " I see, then I shall not see you as a threat, that is....unless you end up siding with Alice." he says as he looks down at her, Lilly tilted her head. "I don't know an Alice, so I suppose that's good." she held his gaze for a minute before looking away, she gently placed her hand on the gash on her head, *I must have gotten hit really hard if I'm actually going along with this*, she thought. For what seemed like no reason at all, Hatter leaned in close to Lilly. "You're injured....come, I know someone who can help." he stands up straight, Lilly's eyes widened, she took a step back. "...uh...okay then..." she glanced down at her feet before nodding. "good," he says, Hatter reaches out and lifts Lilly up off of her feet.
