[When the feed comes on, there's a bit of shaky cam before Fiddleford has his device set up just the way he wants it. He tries to straighten his hair out a little here as he adjusts his glasses.]
So, ah, it just sort of occurred to me today that I've been here for quite a while now. In fact I think it's been about a whole year now? Ha, time sure flies when you're... well, not havin' fun per-say, given where we are, but--anyway, you know what I mean.
[His glasses slip a little and he forces himself to re-adjust them again.]
I... I feel like there's somethin' I should tell ya'll here 'bout that but... come on Fiddleford, you're on camera, th-this is just... terribibble to suddenly--oh, that's right: it's gotten me to realize just how little work I've actually gotten done here? There was that arm of Stanford's which he doesn't really need anymore, thank heavens and some, ah, smaller stuff for other people, but I'm lookin' for new ideas of things to tinker with and build. Somethin' that could really be of help to everyone here.
[He then turns the feed's attention to a little blackboard set up behind him... before remembering that he has a blue-print of what appears to be some kind of giant robot monster with the tag-line "current idea: design a pair of wings so that giant robot can fly away from wonderland" and quickly pulls that down and off-screen.]
So! If ya'll have somethin' that you think would be handy to have and would like to have built, just tell me and I'll jot it down to get started on inventin'!
[As for what that sudden lapse in memory was, WELL...]

[And bother McGucket with a bunch of questions so he might get a feel for how out of it this weirdo really is.]
no subject
[But I mean if this kid really wants to see it, he'll adjust it so that it's in the corner and not blocking his writing?]
no subject
[He looks at the tag-line on the blueprint here.] Woah... It looks really cool, but...
Don't you think just flying out of Wonderland would be too easy? We were kind of teleported here, so maybe there might be an invisible wall or something.
no subject
[In other words, very poorly.]
no subject
So... How are we making the jump from advanced portals to the unknown to monster robots with jet packs?
I'm not seeing the connection here.
no subject
no subject
[He thinks about it for a second.]
Wait, if we have people from other dimensions, does that mean we have people who can fly?
no subject
no subject
Anyway, that robot is too cool to just use for that. Can we keep it if that idea doesn't work?
no subject
Also he's not letting a teenager have it, nice try Ouma.]
I'm probably gonna keep it somewhere out of the way, but not somewhere it can't be accessed: worse comes to worse, it might be useful durin' one of those events here.
no subject
Events? What do you mean by events?
no subject
[wow Fidds that's very helpful]
Every once in a while, one of the residents livin' here--and I mean the ones who are native to this place--will make some sort of announcement on the network here to warn people about somethin' happenin' soon. And usually, whatever's about to happen greatly effects the state of things here: for example, we might suddenly have a whole week where the entire mansion is flooded, or Wonderland itself has changed to look like a city or an island somewhere.
no subject
... Man, Wonderland is weird.

no subject
... Has anyone told you about how death works here yet?
no subject
[Even dying is weird? Hoo boy...]
no subject
[Including himself.]
You don't wanna die more than five times in this place though, 'cause apparently it makes things even worse for ya from now on here.
no subject
Woah, hang on! People come back to life here?!
[Well, the 5 lives thing sounds like a reasonable compromise, but death doesn't stick?! WHAT.]
no subject
no subject
[He looks horrified!]
Oh my god! I'm talking to a ghost!
no subject
[fuck he has no idea how to explain this
maybe he shouldn't have erased his memory of the actual death itself]no subject
[This little brat was faking the scared kid routine.]
But seriously, that is just weird. I mean,I get you shouldn't die five times, but doesn't dying at all do anything bad to you?
