Katara sighed. Yet another person who wasn't going to tell her a damn thing. She walked at a leisurely pace, keeping the weird bird-man in her sights, noting that he hadn't even told her his name. At least when she had a mission in her own world she knew what she was getting herself into, and she volunteered for it. This was nothing like that. She had no idea what to expect from anyone. HQ hadn't even told her this guy could fly. Well, fine, let him. He would soon learn she had a few tricks up her own sleeves.

Nabarl sighed. He was already on vacation, and now he was babysitting a rookie who wore a dress like that on something that required stealing and stealth, and she didn't even read the Mission Statement.
"OK", Nabarl thought to himself, "The initiative is good. And I'd have preferred just sneaking in too. Maybe I shouldn't have been SO hard on her"
But then again, she wasn't the one who would spend the time until her next quest in a basement if HQ wasn't satisfied. And HQ were bureaucratic, pedantic assholes, who always seemed to know what had happened on the quests, regardless of reports.
"So we play this one by the book" His internal monologue continued "And just hope they give me my vacation back when we're done."

Katara rolled her eyes and sighed an irritated sigh. She was losing sight of the bird-man. She sped up and caught up with him again, but she couldn't help staring at the world around her. It was bright, it was colourful, it was everything her world was not; and yet, there was something strangely similar about it. For whatever reason, certainly not because she trusted HQ, she felt oddly like her costume almost blended in. Maybe it hadn't been a random costume choice, perhaps there had been some serious thought behind it. That made her feel a little better.

After catching sight of what he had come to recognise as the Hatter's Table, Nabarl sank down below the tree-line, landing in front of his companion.
"Ok, we should probably talk strategy before we get any closer." He said to her.

"I run distraction, you grab a guest list?" Katara questioned. That was what he had said before.

"Thats the aim." Nabarl said. "But depending on how you distract them will change how I go about getting the guest list. So it would be best if I knew what you were planning on doing beforehand."

"Well, I was planning to just go up and see what happens" Katara smiled "Unless you have a better idea?"

"Far be it from me to cramp your style." Nabarl replied "Just remember - HQ said no fatalaties."

"Obviously" Katara rolled her eyes and strode out confidently towards the long table.
There were three occupants, all huddled at the far end. A man with a ridiculously large top hat, some kind of rabbit or hare and a large mouse, possibly a dormouse, which seemed to be asleep in his tea. 'The Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse' she thought to herself. HQ had, at least, given her a basic rundown of people she was likely to meet. Apparently they'd used the term 'people' loosely. Before Katara was even half-way down the table, the Hatter spotted her. "Alice!" he cried, apparently overjoyed to see her. Katara didn't have a clue what was going on, but she went with it. "Hatter!" she beamed, hurrying the last length of the extraordinarily long table, all set out for afternoon tea. "What on earth have you done to your hair?!" he remarked, but before Kat could answer, the March Hare butted in. "She's told you before, Hatter, personal remarks are rude! Don't you remember?!" "Yes, rude" said the Dormouse, dreamily. "Of course they are, of course they are" said Hatter, getting irritated "Well, sit down then!" He said, suddenly realising Katara was still standing. "Don't I need an invitation?" she asked, warily "Of course! It would be very rude if you'd sat down and not been invited, wouldn't it" March Hare stated "Like you did last time." "Fine, fine. I invite you for tea." Said Hatter "Is everyone happy now?" "Oh, yes indeed" Katara smiled and sat down opposite the March Hare, looking back briefly at where she was sure the bird-man was watching her every move.

"Well, one invitation down, I guess." Nabarl thought to himself "But what am I meant to do now?"
Then an idea popped into his head. It was big risk. But right now, he didn't seem to have a choice.
He shifted and took off.
After doing so, a grin faded into existence, not far from where he'd stood. It began to cackle, before fading out once again.
