Happy New Year. :)

[ Which is, of course, notable only in that it puts her give or take six months ahead of the timeline she was working prior to her arrival here. But putting words to it anchors her. ]

This is Natasha Romanoff. Looks like I'm experiencing a little Wonderland^TM Amnesia. If you could fill me in on the particulars of how we knew each other, I'd appreciate it.

And, while I admire everyone's patience with new arrivals, feel free to spare me the welcome packet. "Welcome to Wonderland, you can't leave by your own design, sometimes people come and go +/- their memories of Wonderland." I think I've managed to sift through most of the basics.

We liked the same club. Beyond that, there isn't much to speak of. Though welcome back.

[Even if she probably doesn't at all want to be here, but at least she's being calm about it. Though it's curious, how she and Natasha had had the one conversation about the consequences of Wonderland and it's timing, and now tables have turned again.]

My name is Freya.

Hey, entertainment recommendations. I should have thought of that when I first posted. What club?

[deathlessness]

Lux Deux. There's also a less ... glitzy establishment on the fifth floor, if you prefer something more low key.

[expatriates]

Trying to run me off?

[deathlessness]

Merely making it clear that there's options. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Or at least that's what I'm told.

[expatriates]

Well, I appreciate your thoroughness.

[deathlessness]

Of course. With some of the events, knowing where to find a strong drink afterwards is essential.

[expatriates]

Events. There's a buzz-word.
Like the zombies?

[deathlessness]

The zombies were one variety. There have been others of varying ... degrees. Most recently we had one that seemed to imply a vision of the future - how accurate it may be remains to be seen. The future is always changing, after all.

[expatriates]

Seeing even a possible future can be a hell of a drug for some people. I bet there are plenty of people who would rather take a firmer approach than "remains to be seen."

[deathlessness]

Oh, I'm sure they would. But in a place in flux such as this one, pinning down a more ... concrete future would be practically impossible.
