[The feed cuts on to reveal a young boy. His curly blonde hair seems to have an almost ethereal glow about it and he's wearing a look that, while innocent in appearance, clearly hides something mischievous as made evident by the gleam in his bright blue eyes. His accent is English and, despite the fact that he's clearly somewhere in the preteen age range, it's obvious when he starts speaking that things like proper grammar and pronunciation are not important concerns of his.

He also sounds ridiculously casual given the circumstances.]

So I reckon I ought to start with an introduction. Seems only polite. [a bit of shuffling] My name's Adam. That's Adam Young, to be 'spific. [a pause as he absently scratches the side of his nose] And any other time I'd have my dog with me but for some reason he's not here. [there's a hint of a frown at that and he mutters a little under his breath] Which ain't all that right, if you ask me. If you ask me, you can't just up and kidnap a boy and not bring his dog, too. [a pause and he clarifies] Not saying they should bring Dog here, 'course. Just saying it's not right, is all.

[A shake of his head and he smiles sweetly for the camera once more.] Still, suppose it's likely for the best and there's no real changing it no how. [Well, there is, but he's only just arrived. Probably best he not start changing things up too much.]

What I really want to talk about is this place and what you lot know about it. Anything'll do. I just figured I ought to get some facts sorted before I start working things out on my own, is all. [A slight pause.] Uh… and that's it for now. Thanks!

[Aziraphale stares at the communication device for a long time as the boy speaks. Adam Young... Here?! He is at once elated and horrified to see the boy. He fumbles with the device, finally getting it to respond.]

Goodness gracious! I did not expect to see your face here, my dear boy!

[If Minato was only another SMT protagonist who has met Lucifer, but alas, he is not. But ridiculously casual is probably the best way to approach things at this rate.]

This place is called Wonderland.

[It was true. It might not have been too helpful at this point, but Minato could elaborate.]

::A kid? At least this one didn't show up during an event with bad stuff going down.::

Place is called Wonderland, like the books. The characters from the books sometimes show up. Not often though. Just long enough to announce when things are going to get weird.

[BWUH. Now there is one face he never expected to see here. This is at once both a really good thing and a really bad thing. Really bad because, well, it proves Wonderland isn't done snatching people from their universe, which means others could show up--others less pleasant than Adam.]

[Really good, though, because now there's much less chance of literal actual Apocalypse happening around here. Even the Jabberwock won't be a match for Adam Young. Maybe.]

Er, uh. Hullo. [Yeah, Adam still intimidates the fuck out of Crowley.] You're looking...oddly young. [Shouldn't the kid be well into his teens by now? Maybe he's from earlier in the Nineties.] You're a long way from Lower Tadfield.

[This isn't the sort of transmission that Castiel would generally reply to. So many new arrivals come each week, and he generally expects some of the more sociable people here to handle the process of educating them about where they are.

But there's something about this boy. Maybe it's the slight glow to his hair, or the fact that he's so young and yet facing this head-on without any fear. Whatever the reason may be, Castiel's drawn to him, and before he's thought it through he's started to send a reply.]

Hello, Adam. [That's one more person with that name in this place, though this boy seems far more well-adjusted than the third Winchester.] I'm Castiel. You're in a place called Wonderland, which is impossible for any of us to leave unless the mansion itself deems it so.

[Beiste's...pretty sure this kid is the youngest she's seen here. Unless you count Quinn's-- but, well, it's hard to count her, really. She's quiet for a moment, not sure if she's going to come on too strong or something, but...]

You mind if I ask how old you are? You, uh. You seem pretty okay with all this.
