Ladia, it would be my pleasure to manipulate Annalise into a horrible situation. Any weaknesses you care to share in advance, which Jon would be able to determine rather quickly upon first contact?<br/><br/>Heaven, personally, I think mid-battle sounds more exciting, yet, post or even pre-battle would give us a bit more time to get our feet wet and to find our voices. I also think that placing us in awkward attire would add an interesting - and slightly humorous - twist to the situation, such as, one of us shows up in our pajamas, one in a bathing suit, a third in the buff, and perhaps the last in evening attire, all of which would be ill-fitting for the given situation.<br/><br/>Also, what sort of tone are we looking to set? More serious or silly? A balance of the two? Is the setting dark and moody, twisted and erotic or all of the above? With this being a non-traditional take on the story, is, for example, the white rabbit really a talking, walking rabbit or a person who is rabbit-like in appearance and behavior? Will we, at some point, see card-shaped men or will there simply be soldiers who evoke the spirit of the four suits?<br/><br/>Just some random thoughts and questions for the group. I'm open to any and all takes on the tale.<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Tony
