[At first, there's just a different voice. Slowly, you'll see her pale face.]

... Well. This is new.

[She could be talking about the device she's fiddling with in her hands. Or, this girl cloaked entirely in black - hair, fingernails, flowing dress and cape - could be talking about the fact she's sitting on a chair that's wobbling over a 'crack' between floating debris. She kicks a bit to see some bits of floor rise up.]

This may be the oddest dream I've ever had. Except when you are in a dream, you never acknowledge it is a dream. So either I'm not dreaming, or this is the most meta and bizarre dream I've ever had. Therefore, if it is a dream, I should have the power to bring forth anything I desire within the realms of my imagination.

[So she concentrates on the area in front of her - it looks like one of the hallways, perhaps on the upper floors. Concentrating... Concentrating... Why in the world is she saying all of this out loud...]

... No all you can eat banquet is appearing. This is disappointing and frightening.

Thank you, mysterious boy.

[She slides off the chair, but looks at him with great interest.]

Hmm... it's said that you have always met everyone in your dreams.

Isn't that more evidence I'm right?

[He shrugs.]

My name's Souji.

I have seen that hair color before. It's not exactly usual.

... I'll have to apologize to him later.

[She shrugs too. Ah well.]

Saki Hanajima.

Nice to meet you. [He inclines his head a little.] You're in Wonderland.

[Again, she looks at that hair.]

Are you the white rabbit?

[Be raises his eyebrows, then notices she's looking at his hair. She's only the second person to ever comment on it to him...he's beginning to wonder if most people think it's weird but just don't say anything.]

I'm just trapped here, too.

So we're both Alice?

Yeah. Kind of.

...There is a real Alice, though.

We're fake Alices?

Yeah. I guess that's a good way to put it.

[This conversation is surreal.]

[Welcome to a normal conversation with Saki Hanajima.]

I don't recall chasing a kitten or pushing myself into a mirror. Or are we going the Disney route?
