[Toby looks annoyed, though this isn’t all that unusual for her. She doesn’t look Fae, at least. Her illusions are firmly up, magic dulling the points of her ears and filling in the color of her eyes until she looks like a normal human, though a cranky one.]

This is not what I had hoped to wake up to, you know. Being abducted into a storybook has this way of just ruining my day.

[She looks around, tugging her brown leather jacket closer around her. She’s not lost and confused, but she's certainly not happy.]

Anyone have any information about what’s going on here? Besides the obvious. I’ve figured out it’s Wonderland, I just want to know if I should worry about being forced to play croquet with a flamingo. I’ve never even played normal croquet. I don't think I'm up to the task of wrestling birds into it.

[She allows a bit of a smile, though she still mostly looks like she wants to punch all of Wonderland in the face.]

Seriously, anything you've got would be great. Just trying to figure things out.

Comments

[lastquestion]

The other side of the Mirror. [She sticks her tongue in her cheek, aware of the vague nature of that comment.] The Queen of Hearts has a lot more than tarts over there.

[She can't help being like this, okay. Even when she doesn't have a reason, it's habit by now.]

[errantdetective]

[Toby had really hoped they were done with the vague stuff by now. She should have known better.]

What does she have?

[lastquestion]

[NEVER]

She calls them her Mirrors. Perfect copies of us, but different. Shattered, like the troll-mirror in the story. And I bet you can imagine the kind of damage a Dochas Sidhe could do without that heart of yours.

[errantdetective]

[Toby opens her mouth to argue. She's not that powerful. She's just a changeling.

A changeling that's brought back the dead. A changeling that's pretty sure she doesn't have to stay a changeling if she doesn't want to.

Toby swallows.]

So how do we keep her from coming here?

[lastquestion]

It's the Mirrors, not her, you have to worry about. And I'm all for murdering her entire Court if they step a toe over here. [The rules have changed and Wonderland is now sea witch territory. She can do whatever the hell she wants to whoever she wants if they invade.] I haven't done that ever, even though a lot of Courts deserved it.

[errantdetective]

New world, new rules. [Toby's not sure she wants to know what the Luidaeg will be like off her leash. She's Toby's friend. Toby trusts her completely. But she's also terrifying and powerful.]

[lastquestion]

Pretty much. [Her grin is a bit manic.] Mom will forgive me for this.

[errantdetective]

[Toby shivers a little.] Let’s hope we get out of here before it becomes an issue. [And let’s hope the Luidaeg wants to go home more than she wants to play with her new lack of a leash.]
