[You have decided to alter the story]

With the Hostess' information fresh in your head, you convince Static to go back to the Card Knight which is not difficult. He sees your reasoning and realizes that if you all have her Maiden on your side, earning the Knight's trust is surely made possible.

"Hm? I thought you left already," the Knight eyes Static carefully.

He smiled gently, "We were going to, but we spoke with the Hostess and... she told us about her curse."

"So you know," she said quietly. "In truth, you weren't wrong. The Rabbit and I worked together on this - taking the scepter, I mean. It was my only option to help her. But I wanted to get you home, too, and I was going to wait until the gem's magic transported you back to take it. There's no telling how many charges it has, after all, and you getting home is important. Plus, you helped many of my friends enough on your journey. I saw it through my eye." She pointed to her eyes and the symbols in each flashed.

"That's... wow," Static gasped. "But then... there's no reason you can't just take it now and use it, right? If it breaks, we'll figure something out, and if it doesn't, we can still get out."

The Knight chuckled, "I... yeah, you're right. I made it more complicated, or maybe you're just too soft. Well, lay it on me then. We have to break mine first." She held out her hand with a grin.

"Right!" Static handed her the gem and she called upon its power to break her servitude.

"Hm," She sounded in amusement, putting her hands on her hips as she shakes her head, "As if I would allow you forgiveness and trust so simply. And you've proven it again, that I cannot trust you."

Static frowned gently, "What do you mean...?"

"You're a bit mistaken for being so certain of one lie. They were all lies, you see, and you would know if you listened more carefully," her eyes narrowed.

"Oh well. Now get along, hm? Outsiders shouldn't be here."

THE CARD KNIGHT



"So, you want to try to win back my favour?" The Knight looked up at the group, shaking her head, "After you tried to have me beheaded for your crime, I don't know if that will happen."

"I understand, but please... I only wish to help and make this up to you..." Static spoke softly.

"Hm. Let's see if you can handle this then..."


@Vanora: I wanted to paint the roses white for the Queen.

@Vanora: I knew the piglet's name by pure chance.

@Vanora: I'm the one who stole the scepter to begin with.

@Godawful: "Well, I'm a nice girl. I'll leave you with something seeing as we're done here."
She leans forward and whispers in your ear, "She's mine, and part of the reason I'm playing this game."

@Miss Kitty: "You think so too? You're a good judge of character, friend. There's not a finer garden in all of Wonderland."

@Godawful: "You know about the flower maiden, hm? I'd sweet talk about her, but a card battle is not the time or the place. I like your style, though."

@Miss Kitty: "Thankfully the profession keeps me in shape. Oh? You want to know too? I know her, but she's more a maiden than a hostess to me."
