Captain's Log [Video / Action]
[ Jack Sparrow is in the library.
However, he's not here looking for a book. No, he's here for a different kind of information, a kind that can't be found on the shelves of Wonderland's library. Spurred on by Tom's truly horrific event, as well as Mark's post earlier, Jack comes to you now, Wonderland, with a plea for knowledge. With a few sheets of loose-leaf paper and a pen in front of him, Jack solemnly turns to the network. ]
I've been thinkin'. These past few weeks ain't exactly been easy on anyone. And rightfully so. This past event was...
[ He looks down. He's not pitying, if anything, he's looks more sympathetic. He wasn't one of the victims, but he has been murdered before. You can thank Elizabeth Swann and Davy Jones for that one. ]
...well, I believe terrible is a suitable underestimation, eh? But! [ He holds out his index finger. ] If we're to prevent this from happenin' again, we've gotta be prepared, aye?
Knowing all there is to know about each other's world is helpful, yes, but it don't mean nothin' if we don't know what's comin' next.
Here's what I propose. [ Jack gestures with both of his hands as he speaks, waving them all about himself. ] If we can figure out who's already had events, and what those events were, we might be able to find a pattern and predict what's gonna happen next, especially if we've got information on everyone's worlds.
After all, it's easier to predict the future when you know the past. So, if anyone who's...
[ Jack picks up the pen beside him, about to write something on the sheets of paper in front of him. But, it's not the kind of pen he's used to writing with. There's a button at the end of it and, completely distracted from whatever he had been saying, Jack pushes it.
Click. The writable part of the pen pops out of the front. ] ... [ Jack pushes it again. Click.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Guess who just discovered clicky pens, Wonderland. ]

[Though he's eyeing the pen being clicked oddly, if only because it's strange seeing a grown man so fascinated with such a thing, he speaks to the pirate himself.]
Wonderland is everything but predictable. Even if we can get all the facts about past events, I kind of doubt it'll help us figure out the future ones.

Doubtin' ain't gonna get us home, mate. 'sides, how do you know if you don't try, eh?

We don't, I'm just saying it might be best to not get our hopes up. The events are probably...I don't know, randomized or something so we can't figure out the pattern to it. The pattern that probably doesn't exist.
