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

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.

[It might run on memories.

Shit.

Bad, bad, baaaaaad deal for someone like Alex.]

runs on memories
like it feeds on them
ok that actually kindof makes sense
crap

i mean i'm not sure, it just seems to be a common theory. a lot of what happens around here is memory based. a small universe using memories as a source of energy isn't that far-fetched, i guess.

wouldnt be the first time

[Is Alex planning to elaborate on that, by any chance?

Nnnnnnnnnahhhhhhhhh.]

what happens when it runsout
takes more people
recycles us

[This is like. the matrix but a thousand times worse.]

no?

[Color him mildly intrigued.]

probably explains why new people cycle in about once a week or so.

goddamnit
well that makes sense
thanks for the brainstorming session i guess
explained a lot

[Sounds like sarcasm, but is it? Don't expect Mr. Kralie to explain. It's probably equally parts snark and sincerity.]

sure. glad i could make some "sans" of this situation for you.

that was terrible

thanks.
