[ the video feed comes on looking up at jesse. he's sitting with his chair leaning back against the wall, feet up, device resting on his leg. he's not nearly as relaxed as he may look however(fake it until you make it??). he's seen and experienced some weird shit in his life so really, waking up in wonderland doesn't even place in his top ten. no his problem is more with the fact that he's here, and tulip is back in new orleans bleeding out ]

I've been hearing a bit about these closets. [ he knocks on the door of the closet just off-screen next to him ] I hear they can conjure up just about anything. That true? [ 'just about anything' doesn't mean 'anything' so ] What's the limit? What kinda things will I and won't I be able to make it give me?

[ he tried testing the closet out with a pack of cigarettes. dream big, preacher ]

And anything else worth knowing about Wonderland?

[deathlessness]

Nothing too personal or specific to your world.

[You could get variations on an item, but if you try anything that is one of a kind, the closet seems to have no idea what you mean.]

Depending on how important it is, you may have to take a trip to the vendors but those purchases come with a cost.

video }

[megalomanie]

Damn.

[ the vendor thing sounds interesting though and like it could possibly come in handy. and he doubts cost will be an issue for him. he's sure he'll be able to get however much he needs ]

What kinda cost are we talking about?

[video]

[toolatetochangethename]

Apparently everyone was birds last week.

Either that or they put some really weird shit in the drinking water.

[He's still trying to decide which himself.]

[video]

[megalomanie]

[ wow scott way to ease a guy into this shit! ]

Everyone was birds? How the hell does that work?

[ as an aside: ] I drank some pretty weird shit before and never thought I was anything other than me.

[screwedontight]

Biggest thing I've found is that it's got to fit through the door, and you have to be specific or it fucks with you.

[Says the man that considers himself an expert on pulling out anything he can think of.]

Takes a bit to get really high end Scotch, and the brand names are likely nothing you know. Gotten everything from armor piercing rounds to a rocket launcher. Suits can end up being tailored already, if you do it right, and you may end up with a box of toys like what you're asking for but eventually you'll get it.

Also it will give you living things, so don't flood the place with nubbins or some shit.

[megalomanie]

Alcohol, guns and clothes... [ he nods as seth explains, trying to commit it to memory for later testing ] Good to know. Those are certainly some things I was looking for. Probably wouldn't be looking for nothing living though.

So machines'd be the same thing then? Basically just trick the closet into giving it up?

[ because that's his takeaway from this: trickery ]

[middlefinger]

I mean, I recently pulled a cat out which is not something I realized you could do. Sometimes you have to try a lot to get what you actually want -- my fiancé apparently pulled out a million ring pops before finally getting the engagement ring he wanted out of it. They definitely have their own unique sense of humor.

[there's a moment and then she adds:]

Have people filled you in on the mirrors, the creepy doppelgängers we all have that live on the other side?

video;

[megalomanie]

[ he's about to comment on the cat thing and the ring pops and just how much of a goddamn joke this place is starting to sound like when she mentions something that no one actually has mentioned to him yet. whatever smartass comment he may have been about to make isn't quite as important right now ]

No. No one's mentioned nothing about any mirrors or doppelgangers. And what do you mean 'we all'? Like, I got one too? [ but he just got here... ]

video

[outstandingbalance]

Depends what you consider worth knowing. [Natasha glosses over the question about closets. She figures he's got it covered already; people around here like talking about the closets.] Politics, what to avoid, where to get a drink...?

video

[megalomanie]

At this point, just about anything. [ yeah he's already basically got all of the answers he's wanted about the closets ] Where to get a drink's a good place to start though.

[revokes]

Potentially, it can always starts giving you things you didn't ask for, either.

depends on its mood.

[ Tony Stark, amazingly, isn't usually one for texts but look, he has a serious problem with your face. ]

[ you can't hide behind text forever, tony ]

it's a goddamn closet. what the hell kinda moods can it even have?

[captain_america]

[ His face catches Steve’s attention immediately, but it’s definitely not Howard, at least not the Howard he remembers, there’s something different- not just that fact that he seems to be dressed as a priest. So he treads lightly. ]

If seems like it won’t give you anything that’s exactly from home, but you can get close approximations. Other than that it seems like it will give just about anything as long as it can fit through the doorway. [ Steve hasn’t really tested that theory much. ]

Depends on what you want to know.

[megalomanie]

That's what I've been hearing. Nothing too specific from home or anything like that. Unfortunately, close approximations ain't good enough for everything. How good are these vendors I heard about?

[ jesse raises his eyebrows ]

Hard to say when it's a place I know just about nothing about.

[spiritofgoodness]

[ Snow smiles a little at the new arrival video. ]

A lot of people are going to tell you a lot of things. The closets will sometimes give you lesser quality versions of the items you actually want. Or, it won't listen to what you want at all and give you something random. Better yet, it might give you a hundred of that item when you only needed one. It's hard to predict. The only things I know you can't ask for are things bigger than the closet and very specific items from home. Like a person or your favorite pillow.

[ Or something. ]

I'm Snow, by the way. Welcome - even though you didn't ask to be here.

[megalomanie]

[ jesse nods along with everything she's saying. this whole thing is starting to sound... worse ] It's sounding like it's all in how lucky you feel that day.

[ damn ]

Jesse Custer. Did anyone ask to be here?

video;

[entreats]

Someone found a cat in there recently.

[ Just one specific example, but that's one of the weirder ones in Ange's opinion when it comes to things appearing out of seemingly nowhere.. ]

So I guess it can probably give you anything. Even living beings.

video;

[megalomanie]

Someone else happened to mention the cat too. Never really would've guessed it for giving up living things too.

video

[choosetruth]

Did you bother doing research past the closets? Because there are lots of resources that will fill you in on the basics.

[Georgia frowns, glaring through her sunglasses, though that's really her default expression. She's almost always at least vaguely irritated.]

There are pamphlets.

video

[megalomanie]

Seemed like the best way to get whatever I might be looking for so no, I stopped there. Didn't seem like much point in looking any further until I found out more about those.

...pamphlets? And where should I look for those? Tourist information booth?

video

[naughty_nurse]

You can only pull out anything that would fit in there, I think... If you try to get things like movies or magazines, you'll get the knock-off versions instead. You can also pull out pets, but, um, we encourage you not to do that...

... Has anyone told you about the death rule?

video

[megalomanie]

Has anyone told me about the death rule? It's death. What's more to know about it?

video

[alsoagirl]

[ Is this some sort of sign? Has her past life finally come here to haunt her? ]

...Are you gonna make us do confessions?

[ There was nearly an "and shit" after the word "confessions," but even she can't bring herself to cuss in front of a priest. For fuck's sake, though, Wonderland! She's not even Catholic! ]

video

[megalomanie]

I'm not gonna make you do nothing. But if you got something you think needs to be confessed, I suppose that's something I can do for you.

[ not that confession was ever high on his list of things to do anyway. it wasn't something that went well. he couldn't be impartial like he figures he probably should've been ]
