Mad Hatter
His words out of a book, learned by heart. Perhaps he was someone else once, but now he is this being of paper trying to be a person of flesh. The world has one dimension too many in which he doesn’t fit.
There is little to say about his appearance, and what may be said isn’t flattering. His nose is the most remarkable part of him, large and bent. Everything else is forgotten, eyes drawn to his hat. He has many, that he wears for different occasions ; a green bowler hat for dinner, a grey béret for rainy days, a blue top hat for murder, a red tricorne for holidays… His favourite is the top hat.
He makes hats for others as well. Put them on their heads and they turn docile, obedient. The world follows the story better with hats.
He smells like Earl Grey and dust, like he is a forgotten book himself. He’s missing his main character, his Alice, which he looks for in the eyes of all women, in the way they smile and in the words they speak. It takes more than blonde hair to be Alice ; he can always dye the hair. There is an essence that he seeks. An essence he never finds. The women get scared, fail, or grow old ; flesh people, changing and decaying. He curses Time and what it does ! It flows between his fingers like a stream, taking away the Alices. The world moves without him, too fast for him to understand.
It’s always 6 o’clock at his table and in his heart. The quest for an Alice never ends.
Ever since I heard how hard Roddy McDowall had to be pushed for this scene, I wanted to try it. I think I managed to capture the energy well enough. It was fun practise at any rate.

I had no idea if my OC counted as an AU but why not?
The beginning of a mad friendship:
Today was…not a good day to put it lightly. Maybe not the worst day, but he needed minute to just get his head back on and let the world slow down a bit.
Jervis slowly trudged forward in the rain not quite sure where he was or what to do. He ,once again, was stopped from being with Alice by Batman and once again he had to flee. Only this time he HADN’T controlled her he HADN’T shoved tea down her throat she had been perfect and so nice, until Batman arrived. That’s when it all came crashing down, that’s when Alice showed all her stripes, she tricked him. He was lucky there were still some goons not pummeled by Batman or else he’d be off to Arkham. Lucky, lucky, lucky Him.
A puddle showing his slack face ended his musings.
Finally Jervis stopped and looked up, right in front of him a colorful building who still had it’s lights on. The green, pink, and blue swirls felt soothing, and looking into the windows showed many ,just as colorful, desserts. Tilting his head further back he saw the name “Sweeten your day” the name sounded familiar, scrunching his face up it finally hit him. This was where he bought all of his cakes from.
Jervis had never actually been to the building before he just had his henchmen get them, though seeing how inviting it looked he wished he had.
It was so… pleasant. Out of some little story book about a father taking his son here to cheer him up, a shy baker trying to bake something for a love interest or a frequent Customer and a worker cheesily flirting everyday. Without thinking Jervis entered the store.
Disappointedly or lucky he didn’t see anyone at the counter so he took a seat at one of the corner tables only big enough for two. With that little thought Tetch drifted off to Wonderland with Alice. Not hearing the only employee walk in again.
👻- For something that scares or disturbs them, but they refuse to tell anyone
[nomoreears] Thank you friend for asking so many questions!
Madeline has a slight fear of dogs, including puppies. She knows it's ridiculous and most people would laugh it off, but to her dogs are vicious.
Something that disturbs her is messiness. While she doesn't have OCD seeing trash and dust lying around bothers her immensely. She was always raised in a clean environment, if the kitchen is messy then the food is contaminated.
H: Heat1. do they rather a hot or cold room?2. do they prefer summer or winter?3. do they like the snow?
[nomoreears]
Heat:
1. Cold, as Madeline sleeps with a lot of blankets all ready and dresses warmly anyway.
2. Summer!!! Give Madeline all the flowers, though Christmas wedding cakes and holiday cookies give her 'some' creativity
3. Madeline loves snow! It's pretty, soft, and gives Gotham a nice break from it's usual grey world.

March paused upon hearing the friendly voice and grinned. "Hello, Hatter I suppose I got all turned around."
March paused in her steps when she noticed the other hare sitting next to the Hatter.
"I suppose I have a clone or maybe I'm the clone. Hmm you also don't quite look like my Hatter. Don't suppose you have tea for another, the more the merrier right?"

✂ - - - “ Wait–wait! Hold everything– SILENCE March! ”
March was not making any noise. “ Do you hear that? Someone is walking in our garden… The roses are talking about them behind their back– as they do… ”
He pauses. “ …March Hare is coming? What? –Did I send you two invitations, March? If so this other you is terribly late indeed… Oh, March Hare! Over here you silly lagomorpha! ”

‘Who cares for you?’ said Alice (she had grown to her full size by this time). ‘You’re nothing but a pack of cards!’
…Some mental images just like smacking me in the face with a phonebook. This is one. I was listening to the latest CodotVerse audio file when it got a little wild and I had to draw what I saw. Oh, my dear deluded Jervis. Anyhoo, have a good day to all of you. :)
