Character Sketch #3 - TheBucketness's "the march hare" & more...
CHARACTER SKETCH #3 - for TheBucketness's "the march hare" [1], in conjunction with Pickle Blossom's truly bodacious mash-up idea [2].
Author's Note: In my Wonderland, the March Hare still lives in a house shaped like the head of a hare, but it's under renovation. This has resulted in a massive identity crisis.
CHARACTER NAME: He forgets, so call him [Hit Recorder username].
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: (In the visual, cathartic and motivational senses).
The March Hare had a bad March. He kept hearing voices in his house and decided to have it redone to fix the acoustics. Now he can't remember who he is. It doesn't help that the wrecking ball the Lion & Unicorn [3] construction crew use turns out to be none other than a ManWithHatter [4] that [Hit Recorder username] doesn't remember liking, or that the pair of them retreat to the pickle blossom meadow for ManWithHatter's idea of a mental health break (as pickle blossoms exude the manic chatter of the world).
All [Hit Recorder username] wants to do is retreat into his mind, but he can't. Sitting in his estranged kitchen surrounded by inexplicable tea pots and cozies wasn't working. Who was he, that tea was so important to him, that ManWithHatter seems to be his only friend? He's very good at arguing, as it turns out, and seems to be able to sing, recite poetry and even dance with his powerful legs. But none of it helps jog his memory. The trip to meet and visit with the pickle blossoms is really the last straw. The rain that first upsets the capricious pickle blossoms and then returns Alice to Wonderland couldn't have come at a better time--especially since he's the only one who can't see her.
But he does meet a Spanish boy who calls himself Alico [5] with something familiar about him that [Hit Recorder username] can't put his finger on. If only he could get out of the pickle blossoms and away from ManWithHatter to think!

Ok, that's a lot to throw at people all at once! Ergo, footnotes:
[1] Or, as her Bucketness titled the jpg file, "harejordan"
[2] Fields of talking flowers with Pickle Blossom's sweet mug in them. [Think Munchkin Land + the Teletubbies' creepy baby-in-the-sun + Meet the Press, et al. + Tourette's syndrome.]
[3] The idea of a Lion & Unicorn running a construction crew's a laugh-riot. And since the Lion's emblematic of England (and the Unicorn of Scotland), clearly there's Hit Recorder mash-up potential here. Suggestion: a Lawrie Brewster-inspired Unicorn. Let's just say, if you believe in him, he might believe in you...
[4] LizRECords did a great rendition, her "The Madd ManWithHatter" -- our first official Hit ReWonderlander mash-up! But I'm thinking this character needs to be updated to something more modernly appropriate. All I've got so far is that he's obsessed with something called a "Google." Thoughts?
[5] Jenyffer.Maria-inspired.
