My name is Julia Shumway. If anyone can hear me, please respond.

[ She's found herself, fittingly, on the dock. The last thing she remembers is being on the water, and a bright, blinding light... And now, she's here. Wherever "here" is.

She looks like hell, too. A bandage on her right shoulder is sopping with blood, and she's shivering in the tank top she's wearing, having just come from summer weather. The device is shaking in her hands and she can barely hold herself up, but she's doing the best she can to keep her voice level and clear. ]

We haven't been able to get a signal from anywhere in two weeks and I'm hoping this means I can get through to someone. I'm one of the people trapped in Chester's Mill, or I was, but I don't know where I am now. I just hope this means this is over, please... Someone just tell me it was worth it. Tell me this is over.

[ Video, audio, and action are all welcome. ]

[ When Claire appears on the screen, she's in one of her customary 'still not out of the 18th century' articles of clothing. Though there is progress - her hair is down and that's not for respectable married women to do.

Baby steps. ]

Good afternoon. I was wondering if there might be anyone here with the authority to marry two people? I suppose it would be more a renewal of vows for my husband and I, but we'd still like for it to be as ceremonial as possible. I know in the grand scheme of things in Wonderland it might not be of consequence who says the words, but I would appreciate it if anyone willing would let me know. It would also be helpful if you happen to find a Catholic priest, but I'm more doubtful that's possible, varied as we all are.

[ Well, not the Catholic part, anyone could be anything here, but she hasn't seen a man wearing the collar so she somewhat doubts it. ]

I thank you for your time.

As you may have gathered from my inquiry, Jamie and I will be having a ceremony to renew our vows. Your attendance isn't required, but we would like to invite you to a formal supper in our room this Wednesday at seven o'clock p.m. You should, of course, bring a partner if you so wish. Please let me know by Wednesday morning at the latest if you will attend and if so, whether you will have a plus one.

[ It isn't like she has to do all the work; thanks, Wonderland. She just needs to know how big to make the space. ]

Fond regards,

Claire Fraser.

[ EVEN MORE PRIVATE TEXT: To Caleb Brewster and Benjamin Tallmadge. ]

I would like to ask the two of you to bear witness to the renewal of vows ceremony if you're agreeable. It's quite all right if not. It would mean being at the chapel at six o'clock p.m. if so.

[ Hello, Wonderland! Have another video of Emily beaming at the camera. Please note the notebook that is barely visible at the bottom of the screen. It is pink, yes, but a very professional pink. There are even some green and blue stripes to add some extra professional flare. Although that's probably too low on the notebook to be quite visible yet. But just wait! She'll be waving it around. Oh! And there are even a couple flowers on it to make it distinctly hers. You may also note the flower pen. Because it's hard to miss.

But most importantly, please note that she is beaming. She has this down. She has a goal. She loves goals. And this one? This one she particularly loves. ]

Hi, guys! [ She waves with her notebook hand, her other hand holding the phone. ] It's Emily Locke. Been here for a couple months now. And it occurred to me that we've got a lot of people I know here! And a lot of people I don't. Which I'd love to fix!

I was thinking - back home, I never knew anybody famous. Some people who were well-known, sure, and plenty of people who deserved to be famous. But nobody actually famous, you know?

So, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I get your autograph? You don't even have to be famous- just, you know. Be able to sign it! [ I.e., that means everybody, thanks. ]

I don't normally do this, but I figured I'd be an idiot to miss this opportunity!

Thanks!
