There was a notable lack of the Cheshire cat in the dome when Alice did her first amazed explorations. Probably for the better, since it had an affinity for messing around with people. Indeed, their location did seem to be a bit of a joke on the cat's part too. Deep under the ocean, while none of them were particularly proficient in breathing underwater. Heck, most of the group likely couldn't even swim. Still, the underwater kingdom was a slice of paradise that had one major advantage. It was safe. Through it's hidden and underwater nature, no demon would ever stumble upon it any day soon. Their captors and tormentors were thus nothing more than a distant memory now.<br/><br/>The Cheshire Cat finally made his appearance when Alice talked to the white mermaid. Sitting calmly on the bed Alice has just vacated, sipping what must be tea. He displayed a form not yet shown before. A young man in a expensive-looking garment that somehow brought the word 'marquis' to mind. Ofcourse, the cat couldn't resist making himself obvious, so the cat ears, tail and large cat eyes were all too visible in Cheshire's trademark colours. Upon his lap and around him slept several 'lesser' versions of himself, actual cats of varying sizes.<br/><br/>He let Alice talk to the mermaid, waiting for her to approach him instead of the other way. Idly stirring his tea, he looked somewhat amused. When the White Knight got up and talked to Alice however, the armored man could likely feel the gaze boring in his back of half a dozen cats watching him very carefully. Yet still they did nothing.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
