Something could be seen jumping from shadow to shadow, lurking and creeping around, Vladimir could be as loud as he wants here.People rarely come down here and if they did they'd run away from all the noise. The noise stopped and out came Vladimir, today was a special day, he might finally work with the cat directly. He always wanted to work with her, they're probably two of the few most dangerous creatures in wonderland. "I wonder how'll she react to my proposal, She never like us spades, but then again I never liked us as well. I think she'll happily dispose of Ray, and Oswald if needed, I've always wanted to drink the Take Me Potion, but not yet. I don't want to see Chaos in the view of a sane person I want to see it through the eyes of wonderland." Vladimir lied on the ground with his hands behind his head waiting for the cat to show up.

✧ She had started watching him since he had entered the cave, and it would not be out of line to say she had had her eye on him much longer before that. She silently crept around him while he kept close to the shadows of the cave but as she was invisible, she had no reason to follow the same. She knew that he was here for her, being a well-known fact in all of Wonderland that the Cheshire Cat had a liking to these eerie, dark places. And with no one liking the Cheshire Cat, these locations became the ideal for her to spend much needed alone time in between her pranks. However, while the Ace of Spades knowingly ventured in to the cave still did not describe why he had business with her in he first place, as the two had never really talked much besides the occasional greeting. Nevertheless, she was still very curious as to what he would say.
She had been tailgating behind him but now he had come to a stop, she pulled away and floated to a more comfortable looking edge of rock sitting up high near the cave's ceiling. She draped herself over it, making herself nice and comfortable like a cat would all without making a single note of noise. And once she was sure he was now stopping to look for her, only then did she slowly start making herself appear.
"...Ara, Ara~" a wide, sinister grin was the first to appear and was most defiantly the signature aspect in identifying the Cheshire Cat. She bobbed her head back and forth to the side, knowing well that to her visitor, he would only see her white teeth mysteriously floating while a few diamonds of her clothing and the dark stripes of her tail soon faded into sight.
"It's not everyday the Queen of Spades's dogs come to visit the Cheshire Cat~" the cat spoke, a pair of bright, yellow eyes now appearing above her crooked smile. "So would you be kind of enough to enlighten me with the purpose of your visit~?" her whole body was now in perfect sight, and she looked down on the Spade with curiosity twinkling in her golden eyes.
Seeing that signature smile made Vladimir smile Maniacally, he always liked that smile, people on halloween would try and imitate it, but they all pale in comparison to the real thing. Vladimir lowered his hood, to cover his eyes while still holding his smile. "Being called dog implies that there is loyalty, but after today I don't think loyalty actually exists in that castle." Vladimir then stretched his arms out and rested his back against the wall. He stayed quite for a few seconds he seemed to be thinking whether he should bullshit a little before revealing why he's here, they could be watched after all. "You do know Ray right? The two of spades, the giant air head of a spade. He's suppose to be the most loyal person to the Queen, what a joke." Vladimir let out a light giggle before continuing "He Actually suggested I join alice and kill the Queen.....By the way you look way more beautiful than I last remember." Vladimir scanned her body before sighing. "I just came here to see if you want to be a part this game I'm playing? its really fun and Chaotic.......Something we can both enjoy." Vladimir's smile changed to a more calm sly smile before making eye contact with the cat. "We might bond you know, maybe even become friends."

✧ The Cheshire Cat stayed high ontop her ledge while she listened to what the Spade had to say. While he talked, every now and then, a piece of the Cheshire Cat's body would fade out from sight and re-appear a moment later. The cat didn't seem to notice her body parts wandering off, and was too wrapped up in the Spade's speech to notice even one of her ears had taken a temporary leave as she had to admit, he had quite a lovely grin himself to not be distracted from.
He spoke about Ray, one of the other spades and it was clear he showed animosity towards him by the way he described the Spade as a joke. She herself hadn't gotten too involved with the Spades, though she did know enough about them to understand who he was talking about. She had seen and heard rumors about the armor wearing Spade before but, he didn't interest Cheshire in the slightest to pursue any more details.
And then the Cheshire Cat heard the only two words capable of sending her into a madness induced euphoria. As if her grin wasn't wide enough already, her smile stretched out even bolder upon the name "Alice" hitting her eardrums. Oh how she longed for the blonde-haired girl to come back soon and the nostalgia of the times spend with her made her purr so much that she did not pay any attention the complement thrown her way after the word Alice had been spoken. Though she would comprehend it a few moments later and playfully waved her tail as a sign of her hearing.
But it was the other word she loved so dearly that made the Cheshire Cat disappear entirely. No longer on her make-shift pedestal, the cat was gone for a split second before reappearing entirely in front of the Spade himself. In fact, she had gotten so close to Vladmir that if she was any closer, her whiskers wold touch his cheek.
"...Did you say a game~?" the Cheshire Cat inquired, her yellow eyes becoming wider while the splits of her pupils sank in proportion. She still bore the extra-wide smile had earlier but paired with the state of her face now, her appearance looked murderous. "What kind of game is it~?" she pursed, lightly bouncing up in down in the air, all the while still making close eye contact. Games were as equally fun as pranks to the Cheshire Cat, and could only top pranks if a game included Alice. She was very eager to be included into a game, and if the Ace of Spades was offering, then it must not be a regular game and irregular games were much more fun than regular games.
Vladimir got up and started walking around. One minute circling the cat and another admiring a wall, Vladimir wasn't sure if it was safe to be talking about his plan now, but a safe life is a boring one, and Vlad likes a bit of excitement. After wandering around for a bit Vladimir stood right infront of Cheshire, and just as close to her as she was to him, He then planted a light peck on the cat's nose. "Don't get to close to me I don't think I can handle myself." Vladimir was trying to tease the cat a little before he revealed the name of the game "The game's called who's next in line." Vladimir then pulled out a purple needle, and started playing with it rolling it from finger to finger, the needle had a strong poisonous scent to it, just one mistake and Vladimir would die. "I think the Queen's reign is getting boring, and think it's time for a change.....I could just kill her and get it over with, but that won't be fun now would it." Vladimir then flicked the needle up high, and placed an arm around the Cheshire's shoulder "There are two sides in the game my side and the Queen's side. in order for me to win I'll need to create distrust in the castle, pit the spades against each other, then overthrow the Queen, but I have no interest in ruling so I'll just leave it empty and see who's next in line, just imagine the chaos, the madness, just beautiful." The needle then fell straight into Vladimir's back pouch. "If I die or get exposed I lose, and the Queen wins" Vladimir then kissed the cat's cheek. "Would you join my side Chess? Who knows Alice might be involved in it as well. I might even drink the TAKE ME potion, just for the hell of it"

✧ The cat's face remained adequately the same, though it would be worth noting her already rose colored cheeks did darken a shade with the Spade's kiss. And the Cheshire Cat knew all the well she still had a lot to learn about her new gender.
Vladmir was practically singing to the choir, and the Cat grew more and more curious about his plans to take down that dreaded queen. Ever since the Queen of Hearts had appeared, the Cheshire Cat had despised every other "queen" who tried to insert themselves as the ruler of Wonderland. Wonderland should have no ruler, was the Cat's idea, and she was perfectly sound on the outcome of an unregulated, madness filled Utopia as Wonderland aught to be.
"You have me intrigued, stray. Especially since you mentioned my dear Alice as a possibility~" The Cheshire Cat grinned, floating around Vladmir in circles as if she was swimming through air. "However, there is one concerning manner. If this is to be a game, a game is to have it's rewards for the victors, is it not? And while you would obviously receive what you desire with the outcome, I on the other hand, do not care if whether the Queen lives or dies, she is but a nuisance to me, not a threat. And while seeing this game all play out in itself is truly a pleasure. I too should acquire some type of award for my efforts, assuming your side wins of course..." the cat paused in place behind him, but surely enough in the next moment, she was hanging over his back with her chest resting comfortably ontop of his head while her tail coiled and flickered in-front of him. "So tell me, do you have anything interesting to offer me in return for my support?"
Vladimir crossed his arms and relaxed his body, he was enjoying the flirting and messing around, he was a guy after all. "We shouldn't show are true feelings for each other Chess, I don't think people will accept us." Vladimir never lost his teasing tone, even when he was talking about his plan, this was a conversation between two mad creatures and they knew exactly when things were serious, tones meant nothing. "What you'll get is a chance to toy and maybe even kill the two and five of spades, for now at least, more rewards later. I need to think of more, for a greedy kitty like you." Vladimir then placed a vile between the breasts resting on his head, it contained a blue liquid, this liquid was the only antidote to his silent death poison. "Don't drink this yet Chess, don't allow curiosity to kill the cat." Vladimir, then pulled the cat's head in just a little closer, so he can whisper in her ear. "Head to the castle and follow my scent, I might need your help, if you see me getting into trouble, show yourself and make a speech about how you tricked me to get to the queen. I'll poison you, and you'll play dead. after you think its safe, drink the liquid and you'll be fine. I'll be talking nonsense now just in case someone was snooping around." Vladimir gave her a playful nibble on her ear before starting to walk away. "Meet me at the seaside, near Death Valley we'll have to go over the plan." The last part was an obvious lie just incase anyone was eavesdropping.....Better safe then sorry.
