entranceway | Entry #1

[It's entirely possible this man is trying to say something important on video, but there's a problem. Static keeps fuzzing intermittently across the screen in a multicolored frenzy, corrupting his words beyond much recognition. You might catch a glimpse of a face squinting at the video feed, tongue stuck out between his teeth in concentration, before the video blurs and dips. Now you're getting a lovely view of the front of his shirt, jacket strings dangling, in between the rushes of white noise.]

-nderland thing- [sorry, can't hear you over the roaring of ZZZZZFFFFFJFFZJZJZ now crackling merrily across the video feed] -iously? Is anyo- [and poor Alex is again interrupted by another squeal of distortion. This persists for a few minutes before the feed clicks off with the disgruntled air of a frustrated sigh.

Then, a line of text:]

alright i guess that idea wasn't happening anytime soon
so this is some kindof wonderland shitshow is what i'm hearing
i'll skip the obvious has anyone tried to get out blah blah blah youve all heard it
what i wanna know is this

how the hell do you keep track of time around here

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

been using a calendar from here and a notebook to compare it to the timeframe back home. not that it matters since our worlds are timelocked. and honestly i don't really care all that much.

[Time is ~an illusion~]

you dont care that much
which is why you took the time to write everything down
and then tell me about it
?

cause i figured out about a week in that it was useless. the calendars here seem to be accurate so far, and why bother comparing it to home? not like we'll remember anything when we go back.

but, hey, if you want to keep track of things that badly, knock yourself out. i'd say just use two calendars and write down the day it was back home when you got here. seems to work fine.

yes timekeeping sure means a lot for people with memory problems
hypotheticly speaking i mean
hypothetic
hypotheti c a l
hypothetically
??

whatever
whats up with your text messages
there like
the graphic designers nightmare

[Uhh.]

you alright there, buddy?

[Memory problems, huh. Hoo boy.]

you could say that this font just really spoke to me.

im fine
spellings for losers

well has anyone ever told you that comic sans is really fucking stupid
no one likes comic sans
thats like the font that middle managers use
to try to be "hip"
and "cool"

[Obviously Alex can't see it but Sans just fell over in his chair laughing.]

you wound me.

nah i get told that comic sans is stupid and terrible all the time.

you know what's cool though?

papyrus.

oh my god papyrus is even worse
one of those fucking 2edgy fonts that shows up everywhere
im a film student i have seen so many shitty films
so many
that cant get a basic fucking grasp of graphic design

do you do this specifically piss people off

[You watch your mouth buddy.]

"edgy" isn't the first word that comes to mind. anyway, everyone knows that papyrus is way better than comic sans.

i would never dream of intentionally pissing people off.

papyrus is the fucking lanky kong of fonts
you know
"he's got no style he's got no grace"

the who now?

donkey kong
do you not have that where you come from
big monkey, gets the bananas
throws barrels

oh that.

i think we have the original, but we tend to have to wait a long time to get new games.

you know. that whole licensing issue.

dude that sucks
so your stuck with all the first gen shit huh
damn
i guess some people really do suffer

by the way i'm alex

sometimes we get newer stuff. all depends on what gets...swept downstream. heh.

nice to meet you alex. welcome to wonderland. i'm sans.

what
seriously
your name is fucking sans so you write in fucking sans
do you come from a world of fucking typefaces

[Holy shit this is the most fun he's had here.]

no but it gets better--i have a brother named papyrus.

were your parents sadists by any chance

who knows? maybe they were.

do you not know your own parents
better watch out dude
thats like every villain origin story these days

nah, they just aren't around anymore.

and don't worry, i'm not a villain. i'm the lovable sidekick.

lovable sidekicks wouldnt use fucking comic sans

ok no your right they totally would
i guess your alright then

i'm glad you came to your senses so quickly.

and thanks you don't seem too bad either.

you just dont know me all that well yet

well, you don't know me either. aside from my taste in fonts. we did just meet.
