video ][ someone's demon-cursed

[truesight]

I like that the assumption is that because we're here, Wonderland is doomed to face some terrible, agonizing, apocalyptic fate.

[ ehhh it's a pretty good assumption. if enough demons decided to get together and well, wreck shit, they could. but that's not the point here. ]

Meanwhile, a very real threat that could kill every single one of us with a few snaps of its jaws has been looming for moooonths and months and months, and nobody's doing a thing about it. Crazy right? But we're the problem. Keep telling yourselves that.

Oh, and the Jabberwocky says "hello", by the way.

How polite of them. Do you regularly speak with the Jabberwocky?

[truesight]

Just in dreams. Only sometimes.

[ she could definitely just be talking shit right now though, like who knows if there's truth to it. she seems pretty convinced it's the truth, though. and the Jabberwocky did have a habit of visiting ..not-event-effected-Rachel in her dreams, so. maybe it is true. ]

I think he just gets bored.

[maskuerade]

[Oh he doesn't care if she is telling the truth or not. He's just here for conversation. ]

Ah, are you a psychic then? Can you speak to dead people as well?

[truesight]

None of that, no. I just have bad dreams.

[ or whatever ]

Or good dreams, depending on how you look at them.

[maskuerade]

How useful.

[a pause]

Also, what is the Jabberwocky?

[ video. ]

[humanities_greatest]

Who said people weren't doing anything about it?

[Speak for yourself.]

[ video. ]

[truesight]

Who said they were?

[ where's the proof! okay but really she's just being a jerk. she knows they're trying. that's the point. ]

[ video. ]

[humanities_greatest]

Perhaps there is a reason you're not being included.

[She just arrived here so she doesn't know.] Your name?

[ video. ]

[truesight]

Ouch, that hurts my feelings.

I'm Rachel.

voice.

[shadowtravel]

You really shouldn't fear monger, Rachel.

voice.

[truesight]

Oh, no? What should I be doing then, Nico?

voice.

[shadowtravel]

[ bit of a sigh. ]

Something productive, maybe?

voice.

[truesight]

Why must you be such a stick in the mud all the time? Literally all the time. Doesn't that get exhausting?

[iguanasolution]

Well... not that I wouldn't appreciate humans looking away and letting us do our thing without them being on edge, but credit where it's due. The creature can't just pop in, scare everyone a bit and then disappear while we do all the actual hard work.

[truesight]

That sounds oddly familiar, actually.

[ see: the devil. right. "PURE EVIL". lucifer. whatever. ]

[He purses his lips.] The difference is that I'm not loyal to that bird. But I see your point.

And if they are distracted it will make things easier.

[truesight]

Mm. Although I can't say I'd like things very much if it was all easy. Half the fun is the slow decent, I think.

-- Well, when it comes to people, at least. I've never actually tried to bring down the whole world before. Maybe faster is better for that, who knows.

voice;

[hyperkinesia]

I don't know how up to date you are, but people are doing something about it. Or trying, at least. It's not exactly easy.

Besides, that agonizing, apocalyptic fate and the Jabberwocky aren't mutually exclusive.

voice;

[truesight]

Oh, I'm sure. [ Rachel knows all too well that people have been trying to find ways to find the Jabberwocky, or the pieces of the puzzle needed to fight it once it shows up again, but it's kind of fun poking at those who have been doing so. mostly because she knows exactly how difficult it would be to figure out any of it. it's not like she really knows what's going on, either ]

Mm, I guess you have a point. Everything would be much more dramatic with a monster like him leading the way.

voice;

[hyperkinesia]

So you're just dangling the bait and see if any fish come biting for a constructive argument? [ For what it's worth, he doesn't sound all that upset about that. ]

Dramatic's one word for it. Not the one I'd pick, but yes.

[truesight]

With a loose requirement on the constructive part, yes. Ugh, it all seems so boring when you break it down like that.

[seizurings]

So I'm guessing you had another visit from the Jabberwocky while you were sleeping?

video [private]

[truesight]

Eh, you could say that.

[ yes, but she doesn't have the same powers as a demon like she is now, so she thinks she just means he came to visit her, without all the prophecy stuff that usually comes along with it ]

He's bored, which is never good for anyone.

[seizurings]

[And that is exactly what she means, the angel within her knowing the Jabberwocky is a threat to the humans and therefore a concern of hers.]

No, it's not.

[Although this angel wouldn't have shed a tear if he'd decided to take care of the demon.]

As long as he doesn't go after the humans, I won't worry too much.

[truesight]

Ugh.

[ do-gooder ]

That's exactly what he's going to do, you know that.
