“Cor!” is the first thing the device broadcasts, along with a very lopsided view of the Checkerboard Hills. After a fumble, it turns around to reveal a boyish face thatched with golden hair.
“We’ve got to form teams,” proclaims Adam, with a bright, infectious grin. “We’ve got a whole hillside checkers board! Its…”
He pauses a heartbeat as he counts in his head.
“...twelve pieces on each side, so we need twelve people in one color shirt, and another twelve in another color. Red and black is traditional, but it’s alright if we do some other color, ‘cause for example, more people might have white shirts than red shirts. Lots of people have white or black shirts, right? An’ if there’s more than twenty-four people who want to play, we’ll have to take turns, so it’s first come, first serve.”
He says the last part quite sternly, in the manner of a thirteen-year-old taking charge. No cutting in line, kids.
Wonderland, say hello to Adam Young.

"It's happened before." He answers Adam's message as though they had been in the middle of a conversation. "It was chess, though. I was a bishop, I think."

"And with checkers you can leapfrog people."

"How would you king someone, though?"
video;
"One person could hop on the other person's shoulders. Or they could link arms if they're worried about balance."

With those problems solved, he turns to another one that's on his mind.
"You don't seem that bothered by being here."
video;
"I wouldn't say I'm not bothered. 'Course I'm bothered, people being up and kidnapped. S'not right. But that's no reason not to have fun, is it? No point in always just being miserable about it."

When it was bad, though, it tended to be an exponential increase in badness.
"Do you know where you are?"

"Didn't catch the name, though."

Not that those two are particularly helpful in understanding this place. They mostly just make noise, though Alice at least can be pretty endearing at times.
"My name is Souji. I've been here awhile, so if you've got questions, I'll try to answer them." He can't guarantee that most of his answers won't be 'no one knows that,' though.

"Does the Queen of Hearts cut off people's heads?" This seems like the most pertinent question at the moment.

"Let's hope not." He thinks again for a moment, and then shrugs.
"Can't think of anything else I really want to know right now. Are you gonna be on my team?"
