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

[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.

introductions over text and everything
i'd shake your hand but i dont know how to do that over the phone
or
whatever this thing is
wonderland communication device (tm)

i don't think it has an official name so that's as good as anything.

fuck yeah i'll name everything
don't have much else to do
official namer coming right up
what's that is that a cabinet over there
oh but its not just any cabinet it is a wonderland deluxe cabinet (tm)

that reminds me how long have you been here
i'm taking a poll

you wouldn't even be wrong. the cabinets are magic. ask it for a trombone and see what happens.

i've been here a little over a month i think.

so i hear
the vendors too
shady if you ask me

getting answers all over the map
wonderlands been open for business for a long time i guess

five or so years. i've looked through the network backlog.

shit theres a backlog

[He can actually...look at what past-him or other-him or future-him said?

Oh fuck.

That's more than a little bit terrifying.]

one more question
did anyone else here show up with your name and history in that backlog

not me, but i've seen some duplicates. that's what happens when you mess with multiple timelines.

[Oh so he already knows about this. Great.

Greaaaaat.]

so this is normal where you come from

nah, i'm just familiar with the concept.

[blatant lies]

ah
so you have cable

nah i've just read stephen hawking.

alright a+ for that reference
four for you
this better not turn into some primer shit though
things are confusing enough without a bunch of other mes running around

seems like it's not possible here. the place might be trying to avoid paradoxes.

might be
pretty counter intuitive for a place that grabs people from all over
and might be its own dimension
who knows
~spooky right

well, if this place runs on memories, stands to reason it wouldn't want duplicate memories. it'd be like trying to use a dead battery.
