THE GREATEST She hummed lightly as she walked down one of the flower gardens the lined the paths of the White Queen's castle. Oh, how tumultuous this place had once been just a few years ago, when the Red Queen had insisted she was the ruler of all of Wonderland. Anyone who didn't bow to her inane rules simply her 'Off with their head!' before the aforementioned fact occurred, which resulted in far too many skulls to decorate with.
"Gibbery Grove and all that nonsense. What else can you say?" A shrug, a smile, and a laugh. Those had been less than fun times for any Wonderlandian, especially for a family that had always been supporters of the White Queen, but what was done was done. Time had a strange way of managing to always tick forward and here she was, alive and strong and able to go off and protect others. A far cry from the young, cowering girl she had once been.
"But what if time could tick backwards? After all, you can move forward and back, so why not time? It is a thing, is it not?" Her gaze shifted to the figure that had quietly stepped up beside her, head tilting slightly to acknowledge them.
"What say you? Can we dance time back or is it stuck just marching forward?"

"What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion." BabelThis world... was obnoxious. Nothing followed order here. Everything was bright, colorful... loud. Oh so loud. Sephiroth valued his peace and quiet, but it seemed that he would receive none of that here. 'I don't feel Cloud here, and I can't get any of the locals to speak in something other than riddles and incoherent babble. Perhaps it's time to leave.' The man in black walked past a girl on his way to find a good spot to make an exit. He ignored her initially, but she finally spoke to him directly. The questions she asked was a strange one, but one he could understand. "Time is not a linear construct." He turned to face Babel. "It can go forwards, backwards, up, down... sometimes even diagonal." Speaking of abstract concepts like time, you inevitably end up in strange and vague metaphors like that. "Short answer, yes. If you know how, you can make time do whatever you want." While Sephiroth spoke like he knew much about the concept, he knew very little. It was something that was a mystery even to him. That being the case, he also didn't know how to make time do what he wanted. It would be a rather interesting and useful skill to learn, though. He was aware of magic that could stop time. Maybe that would be a good place to start. His mind went back to the subject at hand, however; Cloud. Now that he found someone who was at least semi-coherent, the man in black figured he would ask his question once more. "Sephiroth." He gestured to himself. With that brief introduction, he asked his question. "I am looking for a blond warrior dressed in black. He carries a large sword. Have you seen him?" Right to the point as usual.

THE GREATEST Her response was a light giggle at the silver-haired male's response. "Up, down, left, right-- I suppose that would even explain deju-vu then, yes? A chance to redo, though it seems a bit silly that we never seem to quite remember what it is we're redoing or why we're redoing it. Doesn't it defeat the purpose, especially since it feels like we're always going through the same motions?" She locked her hands behind her back, one left curling behind the other as she ducked her chest forward to peer up curiously at Sephiroth.
"Do you know how to bend time? Can you dance with it?" She twisted lightly on the ball of her foot, spinning before curving to move being the other. Babel didn't hesitate to reach up to grasp a hold of Sephiroth's long silver locks, holding them over her own head as if she was wearing a wig as she stood with her back against his own.
"Can you dance? It's so much fun, and they say that dancing is great training for fighting." If the other were to glance back -- which undoubtedly he would, or pull away, he would see Babel looking over her shoulder and grinning up at him.
"I'm Babel, and you have very lovely hair. May I braid it?"

"What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion." Babel Thank whatever gods might be that this girl was only half-insane as as opposed to completely insane like the rest of these fools. That was the first thought that crossed Sephiroth's mind. Unfortunately, that observation wasn't entirely accurate. When asked if he knew how to bend or "dance with" time, the man in black shook his head. "No. I haven't tried before." Then something happened that the soldier did not expect in the slightest. This girl... this girl he had only just met... started playing with his hair. It wouldn't have mattered if Sephiroth had known Babel his entire life. They could have been childhood friends and he would not have appreciated that just as much. The man pulled away instinctively, moving a few feet away from Babel and giving her a look of confused anger. Then she introduced herself, complimenting his hair and asking if she could braid it. "What? No. I don't know you." As if that was the problem. Sephiroth was one not so easily taken aback, but there was a first time for everything. 'What could possibly be so intriguing about my hair?' He thought to himself. The soldier couldn't come up with any answers though. "Why would you ask to braid a stranger's hair? Surely you were raised to be smarter than that." Sephiroth assumed that the whole "don't talk to strangers" thing was a universal lesson parents taught their kids. At least that asking to braid a stranger's hair was entirely inappropriate.

THE GREATEST "I was certainly raised to be smart, sir, and it's smart to ask permission before you do something. That's why I asked before I did it." Babel let her head tilt to the side as she looked up at him, clearly unphased by the sudden burst of confused anger that was suddenly aimed in her direction. "Would you have preferred it if I had just started to braid it? I think that wouldn't have been the polite thing to do but if you think that would have been smarter I suppose I could give it a try."
What was becoming fairly apparent to her was the fact that Sephiroth didn't seem to be a... fan of the oddities of Wonderlandians. Babel found herself propping one hand on her hip as she leaned forward, other hand outstretched so that she could waggle her finger at him.
"I'd say you're the one who might not be as smart as he thinks he is right now. You stand out like a dog in a cat suit. Maybe if you plan on visitin' other worlds you better start actually learnin' about them instead of just wrinklin' your nose at the locals."

"What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion." Babel The soldier frowned and raised a silvery eyebrow at Babel's words. Things must be different here between parents and children. Where he grew up, you wouldn't speak to strangers, period. Then again, he spent the vast majority of his childhood in the exact same building. For quite some time, he was even stuck on the same floor. What a horrid bore. Anyway, maybe he was mistaken about these things in general. "Hm. Sorry." He spoke the word with little conviction. It was more meant to serve as a way to calm tensions down. This girl was just a child. An unarmed one at that. He had no interest in fighting her. "No, I would not have prefered that. Then again, you did touch my hair without permission. You cannot blame me for being slightly apprehensive when that was how you introduced yourself."'What am I doing reasoning with a child?' Sephiroth sighed internally, listening to Babel as she next admonished him for turning his nose up at the denizens of Wonderland instead of learning more about the worlds he visited. 'So she knows i'm from another world then. Fine. It matters not.' How she worded it was strange, though. "A dog in a... what?" A dog in a cat suit. He had never heard an expression like that before. Sephiroth sighed heavily after having been admonished by someone less than half his age. "Fine. If you're from here, tell me what I need to know about this place. Why does everyone either speak in riddles or in a collection of syllables meant to be a sentence?"

THE GREATEST While it could have been logicked away that she had been able to deduce Sephiroth's otherworldly origins by the fact that she was a Union Member, the truth was that her statement was one of fact; the tall and brooding man dressed in all black stood out. Even the Mad Hatter had an air of eccentricity and insanity happily wrapped around him that made him feel safe and comfortable. Sephiroth just felt like a cold, rainy day that drained the color from everything.
He was not a Wonderlandian.
"Why do you speak so boring with no color or flavor dancing along your words?" was her retort to the implication that there was something wrong with the citizens of this world. "I've heard not a single riddle slip from my tongue, sir, and while there certainly have been quite a few syllables you've been guilty of the selfsame thing. The only difference is that I've been having fun with my words while you've been a stick in the mud."
Babel let out an exaggerated sigh before giggling and dancing around him, staying just out of arm's reach as she spun around. Her skirt twirled with her and she grasped ahold of it to keep it from rising up to any indecent levels. "You act like we're the crazy ones, but we're happy and you seem to be anything but, so who's the true crazy one here."

"What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion."
Sephiroth looked at the girl with a slight frown on his face. She certainly had a lot of spunk for a kid. The man wasn't sure whether he admired that or not, though. It seemed, however, that she took what he said literally about riddles and syllables. The riddles were meant to be taken literally, but the collection of syllables weren't meant to make up words like they syllables they had been spouting.
Well, they made up words, but when they strung said words together, it sounded like mere gibberish to him. Then came the accusation that he wasn't happy. A stick in the mud. Why was he speaking so boringly, she asked? His words weren't colorful like hers. "I have no use for colorful speech like that. I prefer to speak as clearly as possible, so that I might be understood."
At the accusation that he wasn't happy, Sephiroth put on his best fake grin. The expression seemed rather foreign. Perhaps he really wasn't happy. He had grown beyond the need for shallow emotions like that, however. He had a larger goal in mind. He ignored any further accusation that he was anything but happy, his grin fading.
"You misunderstand what I mean by crazy. I mean floating out in the ether. Not grounded in reality. Not about something as base as happiness." He crossed his arms and watched as she danced around him. "if I ignored all the things I know and lived in a fantasy, I would probably be happier. But there are things that are far more important than happiness."
