As a tribute to two of my favorite books, Alice in Wonderland and Phantom Tollbooth, I have made an awesome storybook.

Here's the story:
You have mysteriously been cast into a nonsensical land of mystery and randomness. You have been transported there because

a. You're bored
b. You don't appreciate life enough
c. Any other reason why

You need to find your way out of this place. Why? Because that's sort of like an instinctual thing. You and your group of 10 give or take a few must complete a series of unknown tests. Unknown because you hardly realize they're tests.

Everything else is completely up to you. You want to invite the Mad Hatter along? Be my guest. Does the Queen of Hearts want your head? Fine, have fun with that.

Write it like a typical storybook though. If I wanted it like a script, it would have gone in the Character Tea Party.

But this is not a typical storybook, just write it like one.

Actually, this seems to be doing good. We have 7 characters. We should wait until at least one person posts. And then we can begin.
