[ Rose Tyler is no stranger to portal jumping, accustomed to blinking and finding herself in another world, another universe, another plane of existence. Home, or her surrogate home, as she's come to think of it, is only a place to dust off her shoes before the next jump. Parallel Earths and alien fields and unfamiliar constellations up above are old hat now.

But Wonderland? The incredulous expression on her face is nearly amused, brown eyes warm and curious as she blinks into the camera, fingers raking lightly through dyed golden hair. Headquarters is going to get an earful about jumbled up cannon coordinates when she gets back. Still, she can't help but be a little fascinated by it all, despite the kink in all of her grand plans, her search for that someone she'll never be able to let go of, not ever. ]

's real, then? The Queen of Hearts and all that. I mean, it's a bit brilliant, really and I'm all about a good cuppa with a mad man every now and then but this isn't exactly what I was aiming for, y'know? The way out... still through the rabbit hole, or is that too easy?

[ There's a brief, uncertain pause, her teeth edging into her lower lip thoughtfully before she carries on, giving in to the other nagging question nearly always on her mind. ]

While I have you... does anyone here know the Doctor?

[As always, the word Doctor catches her attention. And while there was a time it might have put her on edge, she's calmer about it now. Others make her curious. They've all seen things, done things, been places. Places she hasn't yet and there's still so much for her to learn. So she takes a friendly approach.]

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but this time it's a one way trip. Looks beautiful, but there's always a catch, isn't there?

[She pauses to study Rose before asking.]

Are you another one, then? One of his [She puts a special emphasis on the next word.] companions?

There's always a way out too, right? [ There has to be, there are too many things she has left to do. That train of thought is derailed for now, however, when this pretty redhead with a familiar Scottish lilt in her voice seems to know more than Rose initially anticipates. She has a feeling she's In for plenty more surprises in this place. ]

I... well, yeah. S'pose that's a good word for it. At least, I used to be. [ Something about that still stings to say, biting the inside of her cheek quietly as she mulls over a few questions of her own. ] How'd you know?

[Amy figures there is plenty of time to tell her about Wonderland later. She's much more curious about Rose and the Doctor. Besides, a plan that's been percolating in the back of her mind is starting to gain momentum. A welcome party would be the perfect guise to get some good gossip on the Doctor.

She tilts her head at "used to be." Since learning that Clara would eventually replace her, she's wondered how it all works. Does the Doctor kick you out or do you do decide to leave? Martha and Donna weren't dead so that probably wasn't what happened to Martha. And she hopes to herself.]

I might be one myself. That and I've met a few others. You seem to fit the bill. [Curious, not freaked out, asking about the Doctor.] And used to be? Why used to be? What happened, then?

[ While it's certainly not her favorite line of conversation, enough time has passed to make it much easier to talk about, miles away from empty beaches and cold tears. She rubs the back of her neck, trying to find the right way to explain a confusing history. ] I got trapped in a parallel universe for awhile. Without him, and the walls between worlds were supposedly sealed forever, but I've been working with some people and, well... [ If Amy is really a friend of the Doctor's and has spent any sort of time with him, really, then none of this should sound all that strange, in the end. ]

I've been using this dimension jumping cannon to try and find him, and to warn him about something. [ She shrugs a shoulder easily, as if it was all nothing, and to her it really isn't. ]

[Amy looks a little startled and worried about the getting trapped part.]

And then you wound up here.

[She wonders if Rose found a way to get into Wonderland or if Wonderland is just playing its tricks again.]

Do you have it with you? And what were you trying to warn him about?

[Because, on the off chance that Rose did make it here with that, the Doctor could still be in danger.]

[ She sadly holds up her empty hands, palms up and shakes her head slowly. ] I'm not sure what happened to it. When I jump, it's supposed to come with me, around my neck. But not this time. [ And it would have come in awfully handy there, too. If it even worked at all. Rose looks a little more solemn now, eyes serious and lips pursed. ]

I'm trying to warn him that... in my world, and others, the stars are going out. Just... disappearing right out of the sky. Figured he was the only one who could stop it.

[Amy frowns. It could have been useful in their attempts of finding a way out of here with their memories intact.]

Stars going out? [She scrunches up her face.] I don't remember anything like that happening here. Any idea what was causing it?

That's part of the problem. We don't really know. Something to do with the Daleks. Always the bloody Daleks. [ she lets out a loud sigh tinged with frustration. ] 's why we- I came looking for him, though Wonderland wasn't on the agenda.

[This elicits another frown from Amy.]

The Doctor mentioned something big about them once and was concerned that I didn't have any memory of them. [Her brow scrunches together.] Think it had something to do with that, then?

[She smiles a little sadly at Rose.] It never is. It's not the worst place, ever, but I'm sure we've seen better.
