Kneeling down Thanatos scratched Cerberus behind his ears changing back and forth between all three pairs. He felt himself wanting to leave but some primordial instinct inside him told him to stay and observe.

( Hm, I'm gonna give Oliver a magical deck of cards xD )

"Watch, sweetheart," Oliver replied, winking at Maddie as he popped the top hat off her head and slipped it onto his own. He tugged it down, shadowing part of his face as he grabbed his deck of cards and walked towards a table. Oliver stepped onto a chair and in a few moments was on one of the wooden surfaces. "Good morning, evening, or mid-day, lady and gents! Can I have a volunteer up here?" He called out, motioning towards his cards.

he knows I hate it when he takes my hat She thought to herself, Made him one a year ago and yet he insists on taking mine. Maddie smiled, but this should me good, he's loves putting on a show as much as I do.

"How about you, gentleman?" Oliver called out again, pointing towards a young man petting a three-headed dog. "Would you like to participate in some card tricks?" He grinned, his faded green eyes lighting up under his mask. Oliver glanced over at Maddie and blew a kiss, grateful that she didn't yell at him for taking her hat yet.

Thanatos was shaken out of his revelry by someone jumping up onto a table.

"Good morning, evening, or mid-day, lady and gents! Can I have a volunteer up here?" He called out, making a proper show of moving about and looking into the crowd until his eyes rested on Thanatos. "How about you, gentleman?" he questioned pointing directly at Thanatos, "Would you like to participate in some card tricks?" he crooned, mischief evident in his green eyes.

"Gladly" Thanatos remarked, making his way up to the person until he reached the foot of the table that he was standing on.

"Wonderful!" Oliver exclaimed, kneeling down so that they were the same height. He shuffled through his cards nimbly, and in a few moments, they were laid out across the palms of his hands. "Pick a card please."

Thanatos examined the cards as well as the one who held them. He picked a card from the deck keeping it faced away from Oliver.

Maddie sat back in the chair and crossed her legs contently waiting for the show to start. I not sure what game he is playing, but I can't wait to see it she thought to herself, Beside its about time to get the festivities underway, anyways.

"Got it? Good." Oliver said quickly, not waiting for an answer before he gently slid the card out of the young man's hand and slipped it back into the pile. After a few quick motions, a card resurfaced, the same one that was in Thanatos' hand. "Is this your card?"

"Yes, yes it is" he answered monotonously. Was this really it, a basic party trick? Quite the let down.

Maddie stood up and started to make her way to the stage, Once he is done I'll start the music, listening to a wonderland orchestra was an treat that their guests would not forget.

"You might think it's a simple party trick. It's not." Oliver began, swiping his hand over Thanatos' card, transforming it into a joker. "Cards are able to do certain things. Reveal themselves. Reveal people. Or reveal reality." He explained as he stood up, walking across the table and nudging teacups away from his path. He shuffled the deck once again, keeping the Joker in his opposite hand.

"I spy the sons and daughters of fairytale characters." Oliver finally said, his voice using a sing-song tone. He threw the Joker card towards the ground, and shadowy figures of people sprouted. "See, Joker's are able to be whatever they want. They can even become the people who don't want to be revealed!"

Everyone must have thought that he was crazy, but ever since he was young, he could see two realities. Wonderland and something. . . different. Revealing these people seemed important to him.

A whisper spoke up from the card, and Oliver tilted his head to the side in amusement.
Atheia Night, the daughter of the Dark Fairy.
Cade and Chelsea Cheshire, children of the Cheshire Cat.
Alexina Gillings, daughter of Peter Pan.
Madelyn Carter, daughter of the Mad Hatter.
Samine Samudrala, daughter of the Genie.
Susan Death, daughter of Death.

Oliver shrugged when he received stares. This was the cards speaking. They knew. Not him.

(Could this be the part when they get the baskets.)

Thanatos grinned at Oliver's speech, now this was more like it. "And who does your card believe me to be" He questioned.

Altheia looked as the green-eyed boy smirked mischievously. al others names were revealed but not his own. grinning slightly, she walked up to the boy, stopping once he could see her."In a land without names what good does it do revealing ours but not your own?" she asked him, twirling a feather in mid-air

Thanatos grinned at Oliver's speech, now this was more like it. "And who does your card believe me to be" He questioned.

"Oh, let me see." Oliver grinned, pausing and shuffling through his deck of cards. He finally settled on one and swept his hand over it.
He turned the cards towards the young man and showed him the crimson red inscription.

Thanatos, son of Hades.
"The cards say you're important too," Oliver exclaimed, dropping down and sitting on the edge of the table.

"So Master of the Cards, do you plan on revealing your name?"

Altheia looked as the green-eyed boy smirked mischievously. al others names were revealed but not his own. grinning slightly, she walked up to the boy, stopping once he could see her."In a land without names what good does it do revealing ours but not your own?" she asked him, twirling a feather in mid-air

"My name isn't important, sweetheart. It's what I can do." Oliver explained, leaning forward and studying the girl. She's pretty. A small voice in his mind said. Shut up. "But, if you insist. Most people call me Joker, Jester, or something along those lines."

I prefer to call him fool, Maddie thought to her wile sitting on the edge of the stage.

Altheia looked as the green-eyed boy smirked mischievously. al others names were revealed but not his own. grinning slightly, she walked up to the boy, stopping once he could see her."In a land without names what good does it do revealing ours but not your own?" she asked him, twirling a feather in mid-air

"So what happens next Jester" Thanatos questioned.

"So what happens next Jester" Thanatos questioned.

Oliver looked down at his cards and frowned. They weren't moving. Almost as if they were stuck. "I don't know. That's all they want to tell me."

( Lmao xD )

"Seems to as if the cards are telling you to give another the stage," Altheia responds as she stands on the stage, the feather still twirling.

Oliver raised a brow, but his mischievous grin remained as he tucked his cards back into the box. "It's all yours, sweetheart." He sighed, winking at Altheia as he walked back towards Maddie, plopping down next to her. He grabbed a teacup next to his hand as he returned the hat to the top of her head.

Maddie's eyes went wide, she was going to try and take the stage from Oli, She shook her head when he did give it up. I don't think I've ever seen Oli hand over the stage, or in this case table before. When he sat down next to her. She readjusted her hat, "At least ask next time."

"Why so grim, Maddie?" Oliver asked, nudging her playfully. He couldn't remember a time when he didn't see her smiling or making jokes.

"So what do you have to show us Altheia"

"You took my hat, when you have a perfectly good one at home, that is more suited to your style," she rolled her eyes and straitened the large bow in the back, "After all this one is rather girly." She smiled and elbowed him, "You looked incredibly silly wearing it."

"Ah, too bad. I thought that I looked rather handsome in it." Oliver replied, smirking as he slung an arm around Maddie's shoulders. "I'm trying to impress the ladies. . . but I don't think it's going too well." He added on, chuckling lightly as he motioned towards the crowd around the table.
