As it appears to be customary for new arrivals, there are a few questions I'd like answered.

Is there a reason for there being so many mirrors outside of obvious aesthetic value?

Are the vendors trustworthy?

Has any headway been made in understanding the magic that brought us here and how it works? Or for that matter, the way this world works?

Does the world end at the trees and the ocean, or are we simply forbidden to venture beyond those points?

Does the term 'Holy Grail War' mean anything to any of you?

[ And of course, last but not least- ]

Is there a drink you would recommend to a new arrival?

i'd say arsenic, but wonderland just brings you back when you die.

How generous.

Is there a catch or does it simply happen?

five's the limit.
after that something happens. no one seems to know what.

[ Well, that's ominous. ]

So there is a limit to Wonderland's good graces.

Are the 'events' I've heard about the general cause of death here?

more or less.
that or big parties.

i'm not sure why the latter's up there but apparently the last time there was a big one a lot of people died.

What kind of 'party' was it?

the kind where a lot of people show up all at once and then disappear just as fast.

There was never an explanation for it?

not one that made sense to me.
you could ask around.

So noted.

How long has it been since you arrived here?

showed up in the beginning of september.
so i guess we nominally have linear time here.

Small favors.

Have there been many events since that time?

those happen pretty much every other week so yeah.

Of the events you've experienced, which one did you dislike the most and which did you dislike the least?

[ Arsenic was suggested as a drink so he figures this is a valid question. ]

why? are you taking a survey?

[Just saying, he's sounding a bit like a Buzzfeed quiz at this point.]

[ He's scoring you on your answers... You just don't know it ~~yet~~!! ]

I hadn't considered it before you mentioned it, but I might.

Is that a problem?

[Oh, don't tell him. Is it time for a thrilling hour of Which Wonderland Event Are YOU?]

just sounds like one.
not really. nothing anyone's asked before.

it's hard to say what the worst one was. maybe the one where we all ended up in hell.

[ That, or Wonderland Event BINGO. Get ready. ]

Do newcomers generally not ask what they ought to expect?

[ Because he can't imagine why anyone wouldn't. ]

In that case, I may consider it no better or worse than where I was before.

[ For now, anyway. ]
