[Alice has decided to occupy an empty bedroom today (interestingly, not her own) and when the camera turns on she's flopped on her back on the bed, with her hair dangling over the side.]
I've been thinking a lot recently...or, well. The thought just sort of came to me, as thoughts often do. But...it must be so hard to be here when you aren't from Wonderland, isn't it? It's fine for me of course, since I live here, but...you must be very lonely, right? Being so far from home, far from the people who love you...not that you aren't loved here, or at least I hope you are. What I mean is, it must be easy to feel lost here, especially for those of you who have been here a few years, or who are here by themselves.
[She sighs.]
I suppose all you can really do is band together...I wish there was more I could do for you. Oh, but I did find this in the attic! [She rummages around off-screen and produces an instrument.] That's what I'll do! I'll play you a song, and try to cheer you all up!
[And she puts it to her lips and plays.
Badly. Very badly. It's worse than a shrieking recorder and you have to endure it for a full five minutes before the video ends.]

video;
Oh, it's you... yay. [All the awkward laughs. How does one greet an unusual child with a tendency to run off at the slightest provocation?] Nice to see you again. Thanks for the...
[Uh. Whatever that was.]
Yeah, thanks for--that. [Um. Anyway.] So how've you been?
video;
[Before he can answer, she plays a couple more horribly off-key notes, because he clearly needed more of her wonderful song.]

Well, I've been better. You had it right about Wonderland being a challenging place to live for the obvious reasons.
[Since you asked.]
Musical, huh? What brought this on?
[Do Alice and the other Wonderland natives get these feelings very often?]
no subject
[As most of her feelings do.]
no subject
[Hm. There's a reason people don't interview small children about the complexities of the universe, and this is probably why.]
What happens when you get a wrong feeling?
[A new cannibal serial killer moves into the neighborhood? Is Alice like a weather vane that can predict incidents with her indigestion? Now that would be a talent, he has to admit.]
no subject
[Alice is a very talented girl, though her advice about the complexities of the universe is very hit or miss.]
no subject
[Does Wonderland even let the blind, magical children in their midst have feelings, or do those get gobbled up by the big, bad Core, too?]
Do you ever feel lonely, being here? Rumor has it you've been around longer than us. A lot longer.
no subject
[Probably, but not everyone has been around for 150 years.]
