[First things first. Get a feel for your fellow captives. See where their loyalties lie. Who is still looking to escape and who is possibly developing Stockholm syndrome.

Normally the tactic would be to silently observe and gather intel, but this is where social media comes in handy.

A small teenager appears on screen with a green mask and a black hood. He speaks with a no nonsense tone.]

My name is Robin and I’m going to cut to the point. I’m looking for information. Namely on all of you, but we'll start with just two questions today. Mostly to check both your own mental well being and conditions.

Who here has pertinent information as to our captors identities and whereabouts?

Have any among you started to feel stirrings of affection for them?

If your answer is yes to the second than there is no helping you and you should feel ashamed. The rest, I will have more questions for after I've done more recon.

[With that the video abruptly ends.]

[He has to laugh at how utterly direct this is.]

haha, wow. already trying to rule out stockholm syndrome, huh?

there aren't any captors. sorry.

[video]

[sonofab]

[A talking skeleton? It's likely a mask... but why were they hiding their identity? This requires further investigation.]

Of course, it's protocol in a kidnapping situation and I didn't just appear here. There are far too many people here for just coincidence.

If not a single entity than some kind of force has brought you all here. Are you trying to protect it?

Also, what is with the skeleton mask?

[...Well, this is an interesting way to introduce yourself. Tim raises an eyebrow at the camera but opts to go with the no nonsense route and just answer the questions.

Robin's a common name, right?

Sure it is.]

Hi, Robin. I'm Tim. From all accounts our main captor is the Queen of Hearts, who doesn't make herself available for interrogation. Other characters from Carroll's book do periodically speak over this network and answer questions, but they don't typically make personal appearances.

I can't say I'm a particular fan of any of theirs, no.

Not even that much of a fan of the books, really.

You?

[video]

[sonofab]

[Damian's nose scrunched up.]

Carroll's books? The queen of hearts? Tt, a nonsensical coming of age story written by a drug addict. No I am not a fan. [Said with disdain, but he pauses to look closer at the boy on screen... He looked, younger but...]

What did you say your name was again?

[kid_flash_found]

[Bart doesn't even think about it, heading to his room and sending back a response in privacy mode.]

And here I thought Dick was teaching you manners. Couldn't even wait five minutes before insulting everyone here, huh?

[This is going to be...interesting.]

[Private Video]

[sonofab]

[He must mean Grayson but how did he know Damian's connection to him...or Grayson's name...?]

Tt, don't be so sensitive. It's hardly an insult to anyone as long as they don't suffer from Stockholm syndrome.

[The teen shrugs.] You act as if you know me. Who are you?

[ Caitlin has her 'vaguely concerned adult' face on. It also comes with a side of 'really?' as well. ]

"Wonderland" wasn't a big enough clue as to the usual suspects? And I really doubt anyone here has any affection for them. Let alone stirrings.

[sonofab]

[You're skeptical looks will be ignore because frankly...Damian is used to getting those.]

Only if you're suggesting that being sucked into a rubbish book series is actually a viable option.

[screwedontight]

[Seth is more sober than he's been but not in much better mental places.]

Who the hell are you that we should give you anything personal about us? I mean, for all we know, you're with them.

video;

[sonofab]

While your skepticism is admirable, the hostility is unnecessary. I've not asked you anything personal nor do I intend to since I frankly don't care about your personal lives. The questions would be aimed towards our situation.

Now if I wanted personal information on you, I'd take it rather than ask. [A slow smirk starts to spread over his young face.]

[literalidiotball]

[UM???]

Woah, woah, woah, wait.

Captors? What captors? Is this some sort of hostage situation now, 'coz I haven't seen any shady looking blokes with ski masks anywhere.

[In other words, he has no idea what you're talking about kiddo.]

[audio]

[sonofab]

Are you here of your own free will?

If not than you were taken and are currently being held against your will.

Simple. I want to know by who and why.

[cloned]

[There are a whole lot of things about this that immediately get under Kon's skin.]

Stirrings. Yeah, dude, my heart starts fluttering and my knees get weak whenever I walk through the Mansion doors. Probably why I don't bother walking usually.

[Why should he? He can fly.]

You're not Robin.

[sonofab]

Hn, while your unnatural feeling towards Victorian architecture are quite disgusting, they're of no concern to me.

[Damian sees the house of El crest on your shirt and he rolls his eyes. This was either a fan boy of the super loser or yet another kryptonian.]

Yes I am, as clearly stated previously. Did you not hear? I thought kryptonians were supposed to have super hearing.

[choosetruth]

[Well this is interesting. Georgia knows there's been three Robins, though she still is a little hazy on the details, mostly because she just doesn't care. She also knows the first one, Dick, cause how can you forget that name, doesn't wear pants, so this probably isn't him. Which leaves Jason Todd.

She doesn't say it just yet because she doesn't have enough evidence to be sure, and she so hates being wrong where other people can hear it, but it seems like a solid conclusion.

She gives him a stony look from under her sunglasses. Her feelings on Wonderland are complicated, and some ways she agrees with him. But she's also all too aware that nothing is as simple as he's making things out to be. Not for her, not for anyone.]

Cut the attitude, kid. This place may be a prison, but for some people, the alternative is worse. Feel fortunate that your life is better. Not everyone even has a life to go back to.

video;

[sonofab]

Isn't the very reason that I have a life worth returning to grounds for me to have 'attitude' over being taken against my will from it?

[actualwizard]

[ Billy looks sort of amused when he clicks on the video, because really? ]

Haven't you ever heard the phrase you catch more flies with honey? [ Don't demand things from people, kid, especially if you want information. ]

Though to answer your question, we don't really know our captors, just what we see when they appear on the network, and I don't think you'll find anyone here declaring their love for the queen...or the dutchess that can remove her head. Unless you're talking to the mirrors- they are loyal to the queen. Don't trust them.

video;

[sonofab]

What would I want with a bunch of flies? [Damian looks both annoyed and baffled. Perhaps it's another one of those bothersome pop culture references.]

The talking mirrors? Are they all double sided? Has anyone tried breaking them and seeing who's behind the glass?

I should still have some C-4 in my utility belt if an explosion is required.

[naughty_nurse]

... Does not wanting to leave count?

Video

[sonofab]

Yes and no, depending on your home life I suppose, but hiding from your issues isn't the best course of action.

[cisskabob]

[Oh god. Cissie is so not ready or equipped to handle this. She's feeling sick, but manages not to show it when she eventually responds to the post. She just may never stop beating herself up about not getting around to telling Tim about the newest Robin before now. All the same, she's putting a real effort in not being hostile, but she's definitely not ready to be friendly, given the tone and attitude he's exhibiting.]

I'm fairly sure that Stockholm Syndrome isn't something people should be ashamed of, if that's what you're implying people might be suffering from. Although I think it's more complicated than that in some situations.

Maybe you should give us some information on yourself before demanding information from everyone else. It might get you more answers than just... demanding them of people you're just meeting for the first time.

Have you seen the brochure?

[Video]

[sonofab]

It’s very shameful, but luckily no one seems to have it here so relax. I'm in no mood for a lecture on hurting people's feelings when no one's were hurt.

What information would you like? My name is Robin, I enjoy avoiding pointless small talk and activities that might waste my time. That enough information for you? [Deadpans] Or would you like to know my favorite color?

No, I have yet to find the tour guide for kidnap island. That's why I'm here. Say what you want about demanding what I want, but people here have been fairly helpful despite the insensitive you claim I'm displaying.

...You're a little young to be this much of an edgelord, kid.

[A talking raccoon... This is indeed wonderland...]

And you're a little too animal to be talking. This world is just all kinds of wrong. What's your point?

voice, private.

[crisised]

Damian? Rao, more people from home are showing up every day it seems like.

voice, private.

[sonofab]

And there's the other super. The Speedster told me a super girl was around.

My name is Robin. I have no idea who this Damian you speak of is.

[That’s his story and he's sticking to it.]

VIDEO.

[accelerate]

[ pleasant manners. you have to give the kid credit, he cuts straight to the chase. when barry appears, he's smiling in amusement. ]

Have you visited the library yet? There's kind of an autobiography on our captors in there.

[ he should've mentioned "sort of", right? ]

VIDEO.

[sonofab]

If this is just a way to suggesting I go to the library and read Alice in wonderland, then stop trying to waste my time.

I hated that series and would sooner burn the book than read it.
