How can you tell when someone's really gone versus when this place is just messing with you?

[ and then, in a separate VIDEO post... ]

I received this picture in one of those digital frames. It's no one I know or recognize, so I figure it must belong to someone here. So, if someone near and dear to you isn't, um...

[ She looks down, trying to figure out how to phrase this. ]

Exactly human? Or of Earth. It's probably yours.

If it's been a while and they haven't come back, I think they're gone.

[This is just a guess from an eight-year old.]

How long is "a while," do you think?

From what I've seen and heard, there's no way to know until they show up again. Might not be the most optimistic answer, but it's the only one I have.

It's very Wonderland, too. Making us wait and wait and wait. All in uncertainty.

[Haha, oh shit. It actually turned up.]

Might be mine. Green skin, right? Solid black eyes?

[trigeminalheadache]

Right on both accounts. Unless anyone else has a picture missing that fits that description, I'd say it's safe to say it's yours.

Kind of doubt it. Never heard anyone talking about a world with people quite like that. It should be a digital picture frame, if it adds to the legitimacy anyway. It went missing when the mirrors were running around a few months ago.

From what I have surmised from previous disappearances, a person is really gone when their room of residence has been cleared and none of their belongings can be located.

If this is what has happened.. you have my sincerest sympathies.

It's probably for the best. None of us belong here. It would be selfish to want to keep them here.

[mandrakes]

Selfish, yes, but I would also suggest that it is entirely natural.

Check their room. If it has been cleared off all their belongings and decorations, they're gone.

However, there is a chance they may come back in the future, although they will most likely forget their time in Wonderland. It's bittersweet, either way.

If they do come back, it's probably better that they don't remember their time here.

Sounds like they had a bad time. Poor thing.

[actualwizard]

Their name doesn’t show up as a contact on our devices anymore. And their room is cleared out, but usually I rely on the devices.

[trigeminalheadache]

Makes sense, I suppose. The devices would seem to be more reliable and less tamper-proof.
