Some months ago a human character popped up in my wonderland for the first time. It was this guy.
I wasn't too happy at first as I generally prefer not to have other people in my wonderland. But as Alice did not terminate him with extreme prejudice, as she usually does with intrusive characters and because we all know that
No one who speaks German could be an evil man I decided that he could stay. But I told him I had no time for him at the moment and he should create a place for himself beyond the huge mountains that rise in the west of our wonderland. He waved goodbye and went his way. I hadn't really thought of him since then, and if I just told myself he was busy behind those mountains. Problem solved.
Now tupper and me were thinking about what to do in wonderland. Any sort of delicate or complex work was out of question in my condition, so Alice decided we should go for a trip and visit the Nazi-guy beyond the mountains.
Ah well, what could go wrong? It seemed like the perfect idea for a feverish dream.
Outside in our east-Asian wonderland the air was cool and wet, low-hanging dark clouds quickly passed by. Alice stopped at
the weird tree she had created, picking up one of the green basketball-sized spiny fruits
"Because you need to bring a present when you visit someone". She really seems to like that guy.
Then we turned westwards to the mountains. I tried to envision the changing vegetation as we rose from the lowland forests to highland shrubs and finally alpine meadows, the summits of snow and ice still towering above us. Music and speeches were blaring and impossible to control, but we went on. Creating the landscapes on the fly was easy but I had no idea what should be behind those mountains and decided to just let things happen. Although I was a bit concerned to end up with concentration camps in my wonderland. Tupper bopped me on the head with the fruit saying the guy was from the Wehrmacht.
"They don't run concentration camps".
Well, tell that to my feverish hallucinations.
We finally reached the ice and I noticed a snow leopard peeking from behind a rock above us. It quickly fled when Alice pointed out she could use a fur hat. My visualization skills were deteriorating but somehow we made it to the summit. There was an iron cross with an inscription "German alpinist union, 1936"
So this was the border of the known wonderland. Beyond was, apparently, Germany. Nazi Germany to be precise.
I looked down into the valley on the other side but saw nothing but clouds. Then they parted and revealed a beautiful alpine landscape in autumn, with bright yellow larch trees on the slopes below us. Alice became impatient and decided to break loose a large avalanche, sweeping us down the mountain, much to her entertainment. We ended up amidst the larch trees several thousand meters lower and made our way to what appeared to be a small town in the distance. We soon encountered a hunter that lifted his hat as he walked by but seemed a bit startled by our appearance, both wearing traditional Asian clothes. Alice said we needed to fit in and change into
"something more appropriate".
According to her this meant wearing Dirndl and Lederhosen and becoming a Bavarian tourist-cliché. I tried to protest but it was no use. Alice looked like a crossover between Alice in Wonderland and Goldilocks in a blue-white checkered Dirndl. And me - well I don't want to talk about it. We moved on and heard stereotypical Bavarian Oktoberfest-music coming from the town that of course also looked like some cartoon-depiction of Bavaria.
But this wasn't just Bavaria, it was Nazi-Bavaria for additional lulz. Large red flags with the swastika were on the buildings and in the streets.
A lot of people were sitting on a long desk on a square, apparently eating Weisswurst and Pretzel and drinking beer. What else...
We wanted to go there to get some food but my powers were finally fading. Somehow we never got closer or ended up at different places.
I finally managed to summon the German soldier to the border of the town so Alice could give him the fruit she had been dragging along with her for the entire journey.
I asked him how this town was called, even though I knew already, and he smiled and pointed at the town sign, saying
Welcome to Unteralterbach
