[Neal's not really one for broadcasting on the network much; too many years spent trying to go unnoticed probably, out of the public eye and away from whoever he'd been running from at the time. So while he's been in Wonderland for ten months, when the feed starts? It's only the second time he's purposely put up since he got to Wonderland.]
Uh, hey. [This is going to be awkward, isn't it? Maybe he should've stuck to text, but too late now.] So this may seem like something crazy to ask, especially since Wonderland is doing--whatever it does, again. [Rooms shuffling around, hills turned into valleys, who knows what else.] But I thought maybe we should talk about ways this place doesn't suck.
[No, he's not joking. Neal's got a reason behind this, even if he's not sharing it exactly.]
See, it's easy to complain about what's going on, and no one's going to blame anyone for it. But we're all stuck here regardless, so I just--I don't know. Thought that sharing the good things might make it a little easier. Y'know. While we're trying to figure out where all the rooms went.
[And what it might mean that for the second time, some event seems to be starting without any sort of announcement, and now outside of when everyone would expect it. Neal's figures someone else is going to have that covered anyway, like Emma or James, or one of those superheroes running around.
Hence the attempt at morale boosting, or whatever people want to call it. Honestly, Neal knows there are other people around in the same situation he is--not just stuck, but resigned to the fact that Wonderland is it. So why not reach out, try to find them, and commiserate?
He thinks over what he's said, then nods as if telling himself that yeah, the message is good, it gets the point across. Then he turns off the video in favor of sending out a pretty important private message. It's one he should have sent out sooner--much sooner--but for all the logic and good intentions, Neal's still carrying a lot of guilt over what Zelena made him do.]
[Private to Henry]
Hey buddy; you busy?

Re: Video
[He smiles a bit, hoping she might do the same.] My name’s Neal, by the way. What’s yours?
Re: Video
E-eek! I totally forgot to introduce myself! I'm so sorry for being so horribly rude! Please forgive my lack of social manners! Please forgive me!
... M-My name is... Mikan Tsumiki.
Re: Video
You don’t have to keep apologizing, you know. I didn’t introduce myself until just then either. [And it’s seriously not a big deal, even if Neal’s starting to think that getting Mikan to see that isn’t going to be a simple thing.] It’s nice to meet you.
Re: Video
B-But... it is nice to meet you as well. i hope we can... continue to get along.
