[Alice is right. The Red Queen can't just leave people hanging like that.

After screaming into his pillow out of frustration, he's finally decided to just post to the network. No anon this time. Just angry texts.]

YOU KNOW WHAT

It's obvious the RQ is too busy to tell us what she's doing about this mess, and we can't actually trust her to be on our side if she's gonna run off like that, so I say we start preparing for the worst ourselves.

I know we have a bunch of storage rooms and a clinic, but does anyone have ideas for how to keep that thing from getting into our dreams or something? And no, I don't mean everyone put tinfoil on our heads! Unless, of course, you live in a world where that actually works. And do we still have enough fighters and superheroes for a militia?

Seriously! ANY IDEAS WILL HELP.

And how, precisely, do you suppose we start preparing? There are plenty of ways to ward the mind, but I'm not sure that we have the kind of power it might take at our disposal to go about it on such a large scale. Nevermind the fact that Wonderland has any manner of ways to disrupt precautions we take at its whim.

[It isn't that he thinks the kid is on the wrong track, really. He's just being practical. The way things work in this world is so topsy-turvy all the time, it makes preparation hard. Especially when whatever's coming is such a vast possibility of unknowns.]

[Oh, joy. This might get interesting.]

We could start with those ways to ward the mind. Don't the wards stack?

And it's called being adaptable, pal. If you're gonna be prepared, you're gonna need to make Plan B, C, etc. and expect the unexpected.

They could. Sometimes, depends... some types of magic don't mesh well together. Bit like chemicals in a science lab, put the wrong things together and it can go really, really bad. I know plenty about backup plans and backups for the backups, mate. But we still need starting points to work from, don't we?
