"It is not," Caterpillar replied to Katty and sat up. "The first time they arrived I was forced to prophosize; they've been keeping an eye on me recently. I think they want more information," He said this with a hint of annoyance in his voice; Caterpillar did not liked being forced to do anything. "I will not be used as a tool... gone are the days when my powers were respected it seems! Such insolence... Wonderland is changed." He said angrily but soon was calm again.
"Maybe I should go to Looking-Glass Land... perhaps there I will not be bothered as much..." Caterpillar smiled; it was a nice thought... but a difficult task indeed. He began humming an unusual tune to himself while thinking up a new poem; Caterpillar seemed to be in his own little world.

"I a-spect your powers." Katty said weakly.Then her ears stuck straight up in the air with the victory of an idea. "What if you go an a quest ta find the vo-pal sword? That way, you won't be here so those cards can't find you, and if you do find it you can..." She paused, not quite recalling why they wanted the sword so bad. "You can do dat thing you wanted a do with it. Is a win-win sit-chu-ation."

Caterpillar was brought out of his trance-like state after hearing Katty's question; he grumbled and crawled onto a leaf, sitting there instead. "I have no use for the sword; I do not want to rule Wonderland, Looking-Glass Land or... any Kingdom. Everyone running around looking for Tulgey Wood... none of them will find it that way," He declared looking up and closing his eyes. "Hmph! I'm sure hardly any of them have even thought of reading the poem. Just an ancient verse is it? There is more truth in those stanzas than they know," He again looked at everyone and sighed; a swirl of misty smoke appearing as he did so.
"The cards shall be here by tomorrow... that much I can sense," Caterpillar said in a very serious tone. "If I metamorphosize, I may be able to elude them."

Katty looked at him with sincerity. "Come with me then." She insisted. " you're real smart an I like your company an i travel all over.I don't think I've ever seen the same person twice since i moved away from da city. If you came with me dose cards would never find you, an if they tries to make you pophasize for dem I be all like this-" She stood up on her hind legs and scratched the air,coordinated, before losing her balance and tumbling backward. She raised her head once more to make her point. "An then they no bothers you anymore."

Adam and Amelia Amelia smiled at the kitten. She picked her up and pet her. "I'm not sure where me and my twin are going. It would be interesting to see the Looking-glass lands though. I would love for you and Caterpillar to come with us."Adam was still sitting on the ground and he had made a hat out of the grass blades. He finally turned and looked at Amelia and the Caterpillar. "I wouldn't destroy anything that wasn't already dead, but maybe in Looking-glass land things could be a bit more interesting. Either way we need to leave now."Amelia nodded in agreement. She looked at the Caterpillar and smiled once again. "Would you want to come with us? If I remember correctly we never did finish our discussion on the poem you had recited me."

"No, we didn't..." Caterpillar looked up; he was sad about leaving his home... but it was the only thing he could do now... the Cards would probably try and take him to the Queen's Castle... and he definitely didn't want to go there. "I shall come; I cannot stay here any longer," With that Caterpillar transformed into his humanoid form in a swirl of blue smoke and then slid off the leaf. He brushed down his rather extravagant coat and then turned to the rest of them.
"I wish to take my hookah; I cannot just leave it here," Caterpillar said sternly while setting the hose down on the mushroom. He glanced around for a moment and mumbled; "What about Chesh?"

Katty scowled at the mention of the odd cat. "If he wansa come, I'm sure he'll jus pop up somewhere. Unexpectedly. An without warning. Whenever he wants. " She added unfondly.

Adam and Amelia
The Hatter Twins Amelia looked around for the Cheshire cat but he had disappeared once again. She blushed slightly at being so close to the Caterpillar's handsome human form. Adam was only a little taller than him, but he still towered over Amelia. She looked up at him and started to speak smiling but Adam interrupted her as he stood. "The kitten is right. Chesh will go wherever he wants. I'll carry your hookah, Oracle. Amelia would probably offer but she carries enough stuff in her pack already."Adam knew she would offer and was about to. He shot her a mental warning to remember who she was and who the Caterpillar was. As much as Adam wanted his twin to be happy, he knew that she wouldn't be with the Oracle. Amelia did carry a lot of things in her pack but only because she had magicked them tiny and lightweight. She frowned deeply at Adam's warning and blocked him from her mind. That would show him. Then something occurred to her. "Do you think you'll need your hookah? I could always enchant it so can fit in your pocket or put a guard around your mushroom until you return."

"Indeed I will need my hookah; who knows how long it'll be before I return here... and it is my most prized possession," Caterpillar replied as if it was a very obvious answer. "I don't mind which carries it or how; just be careful with it." Of course he didn't mention his... slight... addiction to smoking shisha at all.
Caterpillar, while waiting for a decision to be made, took two pieces from either side of the mushroom and turned to face them again. "I am correct in thinking you all have your own methods for changing one's height? I do so hope you all recall that you are not your proper sizes at the moment," He said while putting the pieces in his pocket. "I am not fond of changing my height; but I suppose we eventually must do so... the question is; when? We wouldn't want to alert the Cards at the moment."
He glanced over to the west as if sensing something. "Exacitically..." Caterpillar started talking to everyone again while still looking in that direction. "...where are you all planning to go? If you indeed wish to go to the Looking-Glass Fence; be prepared... it will be difficult to cross," He looked at Amelia. "and the way is long from the Mushroom Forest; across much of Wonderland."

 Cheshire Cat We're all mad here.
I'm mad.
You're mad. Chesh pulled her usual and sat right at Adam's feet, licking one paw and using it to smooth down her hair like her normal cat counterpart would do if it was a normal cat. "Sounds like my kind of andventure." She looked up at them all. "Were you really going to leave little old me out of this journey?" Looking around 'till she found the kitten thing she narrowed her eyes. "I'm mad, not odd. Madd. Insane. Wonderfully crazy. Mentally disable. Get it right." You see a dog growls when it's angry,
and wags its tail when it's pleased.
Now I growl when I’m pleased,
and wag my tail when I'm angry.
Therefore I’m mad.

The rabbit sped through the many obsticals of the Mushroom Forest in a rush. His golden chain-watch hopped through the air with him as he moved, hitting his thiegh. It was a wonder that it even worked after all of his rushing and abuse with the thing. He was on his way to see the Oracle. It wasn't often that he left the Rabbit Hole, but now he had urgent news for him.
Eventually he reached his home in the forest. There were already peaople and creatures there, and oddly, he was in his human form. As he approached the crowd of people in his rabbit form, he stood on his hind legs, rappidly turning his head to scan the area. After the coast was clear of any of the Queens servants he grew into his human form. He shot him a nervous glace before greeting him.
"Hello Oracle." He gave him a pause to respond, but quickly gave a follow up to his greeting, "I'm terribly sorry to interupt but..." He quickly glanced at each creature, then glared at the Cheshire Cat before returning to his news, "There is some urgent news... The Cards are advancing to the forest fast, they could be here in only a matter of hours. I think they are in search of something... but luckily I can out run them, so I was able to get here in time to warn... well all of you."

"Hi bunny!" Katty greeted with oblivious cheer. before snapping her head back to the chesire cat. "I don see what so partic-u-larly wonerful about bein' crazy." She said with the beginning of a snarl on her face. "An also, is imporli.... impalat... is not nice to eavesdrop." She concluded and Turned around in a huff. Her eyes wandered about the clearing until she met the feet of the caterpillar. Tipping her head backward to see his now high up face, she made a curt bow before him. "It would be a my honor to carry your sparkly sir."

Caterpillar looked at the rabbit contemplating whether to trust him or not; it was hard to trust the one who had brought the Cards here the first time when he had spoken the Prophecy; but he knew that Rabbit probably had no other choice in the matter. "So now you are going to help us? He who works for the Queen herself?" He asked but soon just turned to Katty ignoring Rabbit for a moment. "I wouldn't trust you to do so," He mentioned to the cat before walking by Rabbit and sighing.
"Tell me, Keeper of the Rabbit Hole; are they searching for me?" Caterpillar seemed very calm about the news Rabbit had brought them. "Does the Queen require my power yet again? Do they think I know where Tulgey Wood is?" If what Rabbit said was true then they would have to leave right now; Caterpillar could tell the Cards were closer than first thought but he couldn't sense the exact distance at the moment. "You are risking getting caught yourself."

"Yeah, I not so good at carrying stuff." Katty admitted. "Only stuff that fits in my mouf, cos dis one time, I tried to carry a whole coconut all by my self, and it rolled right o'er me! Almost squished me flat as a leaf, and then this other time..." Katty rambled on a few more sentences about carrying over-sized fruit before concluding "You should let hat-girl carry it! She held me real good, so i bet she could hold your sparkler!"

The Rabbit seemed almost taken back by the comment,"You know why I do this Oracle... I have no reason to stay loyal to the Queen." Long ago the Queen had captured many creatures of his home to work for her as servants or die. On the condition that he work at the Rabbit Hole and keep it in favor of the Queen, she would spare his family.
"Anyways, You are infact one of the most knowledgeable figures in Wonderland, if anyone would know the wearabouts of this "Tulgey Wood" it would be you."
The Rabbit scanned the creatures again, more indepth then the first time. The Hatter Twins seemed to be waiting patiently. The Rabbit had never really met them, but had heard about them from the Oracle. Finally his gaze met a small kitten like creature. He frowned at the vision of the hated Cheshire Cat. He never liked him and his foolish ways to trick the mind. He crouched down to see inspect it,
Who is this, Chesh's impersonator?" He shook his head, standing back up,"I pity it."
The Rabbit nervously began tapping his foot in worry,"So what will it be Oracle? Are you going to escape or stay to greet them?"
