[For someone from a place of slightly more primitive technology, Lup seems to get a handle on her handheld device quickly enough, the elf framing her face perfectly in the screen, mouth curled to the side in a sharp grin. She looks totally in her element, confident and poised despite knowing nothing of this place or of the people who run it.

The one thing she does know is she needs out of here. Pronto.

For those unfortunate residents of Wonderland who know Taako, they may mistake this woman for him considering they share the same identical faces and long, elven ears. Her voice is a little different, naturally, but hey, elves get sick sometimes too, right?]

Now, I don't want to crush your game, but I'm gonna need the name of the nerd who runs this place, because I'm a busy woman who has exactly zero time for this bullshit. I can't fault you for wanting some of the good, ol' Lup brand to sparkle up this place, but it just isn't going to work.

It's not me, it's deffo all you.

And hey-- [She holds up free hand in front of the camera, which certainly looks to be on fire.] If you don't want to come out and face me yourself, I'll just start burning it down. I have a feeling that garden out front is gonna make for a pretty choice blaze. And I've got spell slots to burn, baby.

Your move. [And okay, that ending is slightly marred by the fact she struggles to figure out how to disconnect the call, but still!]

In my opinion? I would start reading.

[restinglichface]

Had a feeling that was coming up. [Her work is never done.]

'Sides the choice packet you just sent my way, where else is best to look up info on this place?

[choosetruth]

Library's a solid place to start. Evelyn, the librarian, has been here longer than pretty much anyone, and she's been amassing information that entire time. Dipper and Mabel Pines have a collection of Wonderland-specific information as well, in Angel Investigations.

My own notes only go back about a year, but they are dutifully recorded in my Zine, the Shattered Mirror, along with references to anything earlier than that that seemed relevant. I'm happy to provide either digital or physical copies if you're interested.

Consider a gal very interested. [First order of business is to get her reading on and learn every single bit of info she can on this place. Then she's busting out of here. No matter what anyone says, there has to be away. Lup will find it.]

Considering this convo started with me threatening arson, I appreciate all your info. Thanks, sis. Any other q's come up, I'll throw 'em your way.

[choosetruth]

Believe me, you're far from the first. you didn't actually set anything on fire, though, so it could be worse.

[And she sends over the Wonderland equivalent to a zip file of all the back issues of her zine. Enjoy that, Lup.]

[restinglichface]

All the readin' material I could ever need. [She's gonna have a busy next few days ahead of her.] Chat at ya later, sis.
