001; Voice; and I don't see too many rivals now
[Julia has found her way up to the roof where she's nursing a cigarette, not that anyone can see that as she speaks over the network. she's been to other worlds, but it's always been intentional, in her control (well, except for a few times when penny has grabbed her, but this wasn't penny's doing) and this? this is out of her control and she does not like the things she cannot control.
and yet not everything about this place is bad. it has magic. it feels more alive than her own world has been in a long time.]
Hello, my name is Julia Wicker
I found the pamphlet when I arrived, so I'll spare you the part where I demand where I am or how I got here, and I'll try to accept that there isn't a way home yet, but I've never been one to be good at taking no for answer, so there's no promises there.
For those of you who are familiar with the Wonderland books, how does this compare to the Wonderland in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There? Are there any similarities to be found or is it completely different. I've been to a world that was in a book series I loved as a kid before and it was interesting to note what the author got right and what was completely off, what details were left out or changed.
Adaptations of any sort are an interesting case study, if nothing else. What gets kept in the narrative and what gets changed and manipulated by those telling the stories.
Thank you for indulging my curiosity. You can answer me here, or if you prefer to talk in person, I can be found up on the roof.
[and with that she cuts off the feed. for anyone who comes to talk to her in person when they come up to the roof they'll find her still smoking and making shapes in the smoke, mostly stars, mostly just because she can, because she's not the only thing with magic here, and she doesn't have to feel the burden of that quite as heavily here.]

You might wanna be careful about what snacks you put in your mouth. The size-shifting cookies are a thing here.
[Yeah... Last December that is.]
But, wait, you said you were in your favorite book before?
[Voice]
And I was -- I grew up reading the Fillory novels, and it turned out Fillory was a real place I could go to, though I didn't live out the events of the books themselves.
[well, she did get to relive one scene but that involved time travel and it's kinda complicated.]
[Voice]
What are those?
[Seriously, he has never heard of that series in his life.]

Gotta look that up sometime. You know the library has every book ever published, right?
