You finally got the job of your dreams! You are now officially a Seven of Spades in the Queen's royal deck!!! You stand at attention in the grand courtroom, she smiles at you from her throne. It’s an honor. She has quite a good temper... as long as no one touches or paints her favorite roses. And even so, she may scream "Off with their heads!" out of anger, but everyone knows that she has a heart of gold and that the only thing that ever rolls off in the Wonderland palace is hedgehog balls.

Just as the Queen finishes her speech about “loyalty” and “order,” the doors burst open. The Jack of Spades, your direct superior, storms in.

"My Queen! My Queen! It's terrible! That Alice brat! She did it again!"

The Queen gasps, clutching the armrests of her grand throne. Her voice echoes through the court room.

"What! What has that troublesome girl done this time?"

The Jack of Spades, panting from his frantic entrance, bows hastily before continuing.

"She... she painted the roses again! Black! But this time, my Queen, it wasn’t the white ones she targeted. It was the blue roses in your private garden!"

The courtroom erupts in a symphony of shocked gasps and murmurs. The Queen's eyes widen in bewilderment.

"My precious blue roses... defiled?! Has she no respect for horticulture?!"

"There is worse, my Queen. We have received complaints from the White Rabbit... Apparently, Alice reset all the clocks in his house to random times, and now he has no idea whether he is late or early! A tragedy of timekeeping proportions!"

Silence falls on the court. The Queen clenches her teeth as the Jack of Spades keeps listing the different offenses committed by Alice.

"And that's not all, my Queen. The Mad Hatter reports that Alice swapped his tea for soup, and now every time he lifts his cup for a sip, he gets an unexpected spoonful of tomato bisque! She also rearranged the furniture at his Tea Party so that the poor Dormouse is now trapped inside an overturned teapot maze... *

You cannot believe your ears. You had vaguely heard of a criminal called Alice, but you had not realized how dangerous and wicked she truly was.

"She swapped the mirrors of the Tweedles' so that now Tweedledum’s reflection shows Tweedledee, and vice versa. They’ve been arguing for hours over who is actually real!"

The Queen sighs annoyed.

"The caterpillar, she played with his hookah. Instead of puffing out elegant words of wisdom, now every letter he exhales rearranges itself into tongue-twisters! And..."

The court erupts in an uproar. The cards shuffle uncomfortably. The Queen yells.

"ENOUGH!*

The Jack of Spades bows deeply, his voice steady despite the rising fury in the air.

"Shall I prepare the royal guards to apprehend her, my Queen?"

The Queen frowns. Her piercing gaze falls upon you.

"No. That girl is slippery and filled with more riddles than the Cheshire Cat's grin. We shall be clever in our pursuit. Seven of Spades! You are new, unassuming, and not yet known to Alice. You shall investigate her mischief discreetly and lure her into the courtroom. But take care... she is a trickster, and her games are not easily undone."

All eyes dart to you, the newly appointed card. Your first mission is clear. Track down that mischievous girl before Wonderland is turned entirely upside down!

The girl is easy to track, she leaves a trail of chaos in her wake. Scattered playing cards, mismatched teacups, and peculiar footprints, some upright, some entirely upside down, guide your path toward the outskirts of the Queen’s garden.

You easily spot Alice, tracking mud onto the polished floors, eyes gleaming with unchecked mischief. She notices you and chirps, poking at your uniform, yanking on your sleeve.

“Oh, look! A new card to play with! Are you one of the fancy ones, or just another dull number?”

Before you can answer, Alice snatches your Spade, because why not?
