[The feed is initially dark and grainy, showing not a whole lot of anything, though there is sound. Specifically, the sound of someone taking a few steps, tripping, and falling over with a surprised sound that's not quite dignified.]

Ow...

[As the unfortunate new comer starts to right himself, his hand jostles against the device and closes around it automatically. The camera angle changes as the device is turned over, inspected, and then a very surprised and confused face appears on the feed.

Kaneki is pretty average looking, except for the eye patch. Right now, he's a bit scuffed, dusty, and what little can be seen in the faint light from the screen shows he's in the caves. He fumbles the device for a moment before he manages to hold it steady.]

Er... I think I'm in a hole...somehow. I don't know if there's anyone around or if I have reception at all but if there is someone...

[He offers a smile that's equal parts embarrassed, apologetic, and nervous, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand. Actually, maybe he's more nervous than the other two.]

I could use a hand, if there is.

Yeah, the red queen. [Marco hadn't read any of this.] That is really amazing...well does the book also mention Wonderland?

Yes. It's set in Wonderland. There are two of them--Through the Looking Glass and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

...So this entire place is based on a book?

Or the books were based off of it... I haven't seen much so far that was included in the books, though.

Hm...that is possible. It might be something interesting to look into?

Yeah, I think it would be. I'll see if I can find a copy of the book somewhere.

[He eyes the closet, but kind of doubts it will cooperate. He couldn't get a specific coffee brand, after all.]

I would like that...

[Marco looks at him and then laughs.]

We will have to explore some more at some point.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Then it's a plan!

Hm...well, don't be a stranger and feel free to come to me if you need anything.

[He pauses for a moment before he looks down a little.]

Oh, also...if someone that's dead back home arrives here alive...don't be too surprised.

[That takes Kaneki by surprise, not just because it's possible, but also because it came out of no where.]

Is that so... [He peers at Marco for a second.] Is that the case for someone here that you know?

[Marco looks a little nervous before he looks to the side.]

Well...I was dead before I got here.

O-oh...

[....Huh.]

I'm sorry.
