( ACTION | from the pool up to floor 6 )

[ the first thing ray wants after he drags himself out of the pool is to follow his instincts toward home. his feet leave wet sloshes in a path behind him up to the sixth floor, dressed in a drenched set of coveralls, work boots, and a STAR labs cap with the brim in the back.

the people he passes moving through the halls in a haze are fuzzy but familiar. he smiles back and says hello-- and even gets names right now and again. but he presses on, excusing himself after brief exchanges.

he lets himself into room 004. lets it feel like he's where he belongs. lets the water soak the carpet as he stands hesitantly in the doorway, waiting for a weller welcome in one of two flavors. ]

...Hello? Hon? Kurt?

could wonderland actually be our real homes?

( ooc | feel free to run into him at a place of your choosing in the mansion, if you'd like )

You didn't have something in mind when you asked?

[shrinkage]

should i have?

[passingthrough]

I usually do before starting a discussion. Maybe they don't have that in your world. [The sarcasm is real.]

[shrinkage]

huh. guess we just don't think about things the same.

[It probably doesn't help that this is her first text conversation unless you count passing notes in class when she was younger. She isn't used to the nuances of the medium.]

So what inspired the question?

[shrinkage]

i have a life here
but it's way different than i should have

[passingthrough]

What life should you have?

[shrinkage]

way quieter. no science experiments. but also less people to talk to whenever i want

[passingthrough]

You prefer this life?

[shrinkage]

oh yeah. by miles.

[passingthrough]

I guess that could make it home then. If you had the option to go back would you stay?

[shrinkage]

i will do anything in my power to stay here

[passingthrough]

Doesn't seem like a lot of this is in our power. Or made to look like it's not at least.
