[Video; Action??]
[Chell stares at the camera of this little device she found in her pocket. It may not have the same white, modern curves of an Aperture device, but it was something meant to record and monitor, which mean there was someone(something) watching and listening. She glares at it, fury burning in her eyes. Her lips form a slight frown, which grows deeper as the feed carries on.
Her hand shakes and she cuts the feed suddenly, because she’s about to scream at the device and whoever is monitoring her (as if it could be anything else).
She was supposed to be free!]
...
[She takes a deep breath, and suddenly, the anger is gone. It would be safe to turn the camera back on, but she doesn’t. She sent her message. She’s just waiting now, for her to make contact, to tell her she was kidding and then start insulting her intelligence, her weight, her parentage, whatever she thought would get to her.
It wouldn’t. It never would. No one would ever get that satisfaction.
She starts walking down the halls, testing doors, looking for a way out. She’s not going to waste time standing around until she gets an answer, if any is to come.]
[Edit: And now she's smashing mirrors on her way.]

Wonderland.
Action
[The way she says it, it's more like a statement than a question, just to see if she heard it right. Wonderland? That didn't fit with anything Aperture. For starters, the title was short.]
Action
Like Alice in Wonderland.
Re: Action
[She narrows her eyes.]
I guess I am.
Action
It's normal to be confused.
What were you looking for?
Re: [video]

[action]((shit always check what the subject is when you comment aslkgh))
... Where is Wonderland?
[action] oh jeez I didn't even notice
It's not...anywhere.
Re: [action] oh jeez I didn't even notice
[Well that tells Chell nothing. She frowns a little and raises her eyebrow. Anytime you want to make that make sense, kiddo.]
[action]
I mean, it's a separate world. It's pretty small, too. If you go too far, you end up back where you started.
Re: [action]
[First of all, 'separate world'. Did he mean literally? It sounded like that's what he was getting at... But that couldn't be possible...
And neither could literally looping back to your starting point, so he must mean something else.]
Someone brings you back?
[action]
Re: [action]
... Well, she knows a way you could walk one way and end up on the opposite end. That level of technology shouldn't be possible - even for Aperture... But this was something else, maybe. From one frying pan into another, if she didn't just end up in the frying pan.]
[To address another part of this kid's reply - die? And then brought back?
No, it must be something like the party escort bot - something just drags them back when they collapse. That has to be it. While it was a little more... relaxed than Aperture, there were still limits. She frowns, almost scowls.]
Someone brings you back.
[She repeats it, because as far as she's concerned that's what the kid just said.
Her lip curls, and she turns a little towards the door. She'll figure out a way around whatever's out there.]
No one's escaped?
[Might as well confirm it here, too.]
[action]
[Souji can tell she's not buying what he's saying. Or at least not completely, but that's not surprising.]
Re: [action]
The last place Chell was before here was...
She shakes her head.]
[She's sure escape isn't impossible. This kid doesn't seem concerned, but he could have just accepted that they were trapped.]
[She turns around and starts to leave but pauses. She's supposed to say something...?]
... Thank you.
[... Close enough.
She leaves.]
