[Jefferson toys with the idea of publicly announcing his arrival for a long while. He had lived too long a hermit outside the fringes of Storybrooke society, and the idea of rejoining the thriving masses does not sound very appealing to him. Besides, there are other dangers to consider. Would the Queen of Hearts still be looking for him? Is the same Queen even in regency? He knows full well that nothing ever remains the same in Wonderland, and to expect the same as when he was here before would be absurd. He finally decides it is worth the risk.
How could he flush out his target without causing some sort of stir?
The video begins with Jefferson facing the camera directly, hands folded calmly in front of him and a darkened room behind him. He smiles easily, but there's something a little nervous in his demeanor. As far as anyone knows, he is new to Wonderland after all. A certain amount of uncertainty is to be expected. Little does anyone suspect how much time this man has spent in this nonsensical place. Or, at least, a fair facsimile thereof.]
Greetings, residents of Wonderland. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance. My name is Jefferson, and I am a merchant by trade. Mostly rare fungi, but occasionally I dabble in trinkets... and hats. [He pulls a black silk hat into view of the camera briefly to illustrate his point.] I seem to have lost something of mine, and I wonder if any of you have seen it. It's about the size a breadbox. Cylindrical. Soft. Shabby-looking, I'm afraid, but very sturdy. If you feel you have found it, please contact me. I would hate for my something to cause a problem for anyone, so the sooner it can be back in my hands, the better.
[The smiles comes back, a little wider and more confident.]
And now Wonderland, I must ask you a very important question....
How do you take your tea?

[And she's honestly glad to hear he's not the military type. There'd been two Buckys for a little while and that had been overwhelming at best.]
It's not my story to tell, but sometimes this place likes to randomly send people home to live more life before dragging them back. Sometimes it's for a week, other times you're home for 70-plus years...

He frowns, clearly displeased by that little bit of commentary. He decides to just file that away for now. It's not her story to tell, and this world is just as screwed up as he remembers. Simple.]
So now I know your friend's name, and you know my name. What's yours?

Darcy, welcome to Wonderland. Has anyone given you a pamphlet?
[Which reminds her that she should probably make a digital copy of it if it doesn't already exist so she can just text it.]
video » my turn for huge delays. sorry!
I've been to a version of Wonderland before, and while I didn't receive a pamphlet [likely it's lost in the mess of the room he destroyed upon waking up here] I've gotten a briefing about the way a few things work around here. Closets, for example.
video » no worries
I'm glad you've gotten the heads up about everything. I'd love to say you get used to the events around here, but I've been stuck here a year and they still like to throw me for a loop... So, yeah.
[Like that weird alternate life she still got little flashes of from that time they got trapped in Storybrooke.]
