[How are you doing, Wonderland? Good? Okay-ish? Wonderful! The would-be duplicate Alice is currently pacing about her room which is a nervous tick she developed long, long ago. She likes a confide space, ironically, so a room of her own is fantastic. And spacious compared to her last. That is, if anyone can ignore the fact that she's actually not the most tidy person around.

Alice has done away with her previous blood-stained (or soaked, rather) blue pinafore dress, her trademark appearance. All that's left for her is a very Victorian nightgown, that seems almost scandalous to be in without any sort of robe, but Alice can only do with what she's has for now. Sadly, it's been something more than she's had in years, too.

She tends to be very restless when worked up and stressed. It's not even the walkers from beforehand, it's much more simpler than that.]

I very much would like if I had something other than what I have to barter with those vendors outside of the mansion. I was considerably lucky to convince at least one woman to give me what I have now.

Why would they require a currency- no, this is the land of nonsense and the inconsistent. I shouldn't ask such things. Perhaps if it's not too bold to ask... may I have assistance finding better garments?

[Alice pretty much plops her dress out of her hands, grateful that the blood is dried.]

After that I am not sure what else to do.

...Really? How could you miss that? Don't you live here?

I don't live here; I came from London, England. Her Majesty Queen Victoria's kingdom, even.

Oh. You--

...

Oh.

"You" what?

I guess--I just thought you were this Wonderland's Alice...

Whoever she is, she could very well be an imposter.

Or...hm. I suppose this whole alternate universes business extends to Wonderland itself.

Apparently. But I am quite me regardless. I don't know who she is and I do not like it.

I'm not sure she exists. I haven't seen hide nor hair of her. Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, Dormouse, sure. Story seems to be missing a few characters.

There's more to it than that. There is much more missing.

Really? Like what?

Well.

Bill McGill, the gryphon, mockturtle, and even the white queen's court! It may not be the Wonderland I know, but the last I saw of her, she was beheaded by the queen's orders and her head was displayed on her castle.

That's...a bit more violent than I remember... [Of course it is. Nothing is ever simple.] Well, there's the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen...no white queen that I've seen.

That isn't right. The Red and White queen have always had their courts as well.

There's a mad duchess, but I'm not sure whose side she's on.

The Duchess? So that must mean her house is swamped with pepper again.

I've heard her mention something about pepper.

[LAWD.]

For a woman who beat her own son because she was convinced that he was sneezing just to irritate her, I wonder what sort of force will make her get rid of that blasted pepper mill. Well, whatever it may be, it may be in your best interest to avoid her. She has a temper, but she is quite mad.

Considering she's the one who caused our little root problem awhile back, I think I'll take that advice to heart.

What root problem?

Some roots took over the Mirror side, then came through to this side and sort of...infected people with their mirrors. It wasn't particularly pleasant.

I imagine most things beyond the looking glass at this rate would be very unpleasant. I suppose it wouldn't be Wonderland without it's few charms, such as that.

You know about the Mirrors, right? The people on the other side?

I was told that the mirrors hold the opposite of others and that every so often, those mirror forms come about.

That's about the gist of it. They're ruled over by the Queen of Hearts. As far as I know, she created them.
