ƒ 001 [voice/action] open } { but you're bound to stay, for you've lost your way

[voice ~ ota]

[This isn’t the first time Freya is woken up to find her world changed, but she had thought she had put this part of her life behind her. She’s also super annoyed because she’s supposed to be saving her dumb family right now, but apparently she can’t ever have what she wants. Story of Freya’s life.

This is not where she’s supposed to be but she’s too paranoid to place that on the network right away. She buys her time, explores, gets to know things, and after finding her way to a bar for a big girl drink, while she’s sitting there, swirling the straw in her hand, she opens the device and decides to test the waters. She speaks calmly and clearly, but doesn’t show her face quite yet.]

So. Instead of demanding information I'm sure you've all shared a thousand times before, I’d prefer to keep things interesting. If you all don’t mind indulging the curiosity of someone who so rarely finds themselves in a place that is quite so … eclectic, I think I’d like to know more about where you all are from.

Granted, there are many variables that make up different worlds, so let’s not let ourselves get carried away. Beginning with one topic would probably suffice, so I’ve chosen the one that I know best.

[You can almost hear the smirk as she speaks.]

Let’s talk magic.

[action ~ the bar ~ for cami o'connell, but ota]

[The reason she chooses the bar, rather than the safety of her assigned room to make that particular announcement is that she does need someone to explain this world to her and as far as she can tell, there is only one person she knows and trusts here. She would rather hear it straight from Cami, getting potentially conflicting information from strangers.

(She's aware that she's fortunate Cami was there at all - she might have had no choice but to rely on the kindness of strangers - but for how she's choosing not to think about being trapped, alone, in a world she doesn't understand. It's bad enough that her siblings aren't here and she seems to be trapped here indefinitely.)

So there she is, perched on a bar stool like she belongs there, and waiting for Cami to make her appearance. That being said, she's not completely unfriendly, so if you wish to chat her up, she'll be more than happy to talk to you.]

[ She wishes to speak of one of Solas' favorite topics, immediately piquing his interest. And because she seems curious about other places, he decides to let her see him. Perhaps there are no elves in her world? Or if there are, perhaps they are different. Either way, he has nothing to hide. ]

Are you also a mage? Or are you merely curious about the subject?

[Freya won't have to wait too long; Cami's actually planning on arriving at the bar before her shift even starts, needing to draft the latest and greatest version of her "this is why you should go to therapy" broadcast for the Wonderland masses. While most probably wouldn't find the bar atmosphere conducive towards such an effort, particularly after the post-event popularity boost they tend to get, Cami's pretty used to finding her thoughts even among the chaos and the bustle.

What does totally throw off her plans, however, is seeing a familiar face perched on one of the barstools shortly after she walks in.]

Freya? [While Cami knows this could be some sort of alternate universe doppelganger, she's willing to bet money that it isn't. After all, a Mikaelson finding her at the bar? Isn't exactly unprecedented. That doesn't make it any more expected, however; the only reason why Cami can't say it's been a year since she last saw anyone from her world is because she got sent home for a brief while--not because Wonderland's favored the New Orleans crowd at all in recent months.]

Oh my God; when did you get here?

[ Cami's not the only one currently working the bar, and after spotting an unfamiliar face seated on one of the stools, Simon makes his way over with a friendly smile and a cheerful demeanor. ]

Well, here's a new face. What's your pleasure?

[ It's the mention of magic that catches Brennan's attention, piques his curiosity enough to open a return feed in response to her question. ]

There's much magic in this place to be spoken of. Are you a mage, my lady?

Hey, I can talk magic. I'm made of magic. [Peridot would call it something else, but she's not here, is she?] I'm from Earth, but I'm not human.

That's a topic I believe everyone here has an opinion on. And, sadly, most of them are woefully misinformed.

[She returns with a video reply, actually. Just because seeing the new faces obviously helps put a voice to the face.]

What about magic? Are you a magic user or..? [She asks curiously. There's not magic in her world like it is is in Freya's, but ... there's definitely the seemingly impossible and literally out of her world things that come into play within it.] I mean, I'm not a magic-user myself, but I do have ... extra abilities. [No use in hiding that. Not when a couple days ago she wound up causing the damn place to shake thanks to emotions going crazy.]

[Oh, great. Another one. Bonnie scowls. She knows how this goes and she probably should let well enough alone, but.... ]

A refuge for people who prefer special effects and ignorance to actual rational thinking and real scientific exploration.

[ wonderland's latest event put elena through the wringer. she almost feels hungover from all the emotions. she is more than good with keeping this to voice. but magic, naturally, is relevant to her interests. ] Is magic public knowledge where you're from?

[ she is still so used to her secrets, even when there really is no need for them in a place like wonderland. ]

[Freya, you just so happened to say the magic word. Dorian's interest is immediately piqued, and while he already makes an effort to keep an eye out for new arrivals, he doesn't always choose to engage them-- this time, however, he finds doing so to be impossible to resist, and he offers her a winsome smile as he opens up the video feed on his own device, which he's managed to learn to operate with minimal fumbling by now.]

Magic, you say? Why, you're in luck-- I just so happen to be an expert on the subject.

[You know, according to him-- though he does come with stellar references.]

[Oh good, one of Zelena's favorite topics.]

You'll find plenty of it here, that's for sure. But if I were to guess, you've almost certainly realized that by now.

[After all, it's Wonderland. That and magic go hand in hand, or at least Zelena thinks so.]

So then, what exactly about magic did you want to chat about?

Billy probably already responded, but just in case-- have you been to the magic studies room yet?

W-Well, uhm... t-there's a lot of different magics, for, uhm, different w-worlds, I think. Or, uh, t-that's what it seems like, from t-talking to people here.

[Hello new friend. Regina smiles at the camera, a pen visible in her hand and frankly, an entire wall of notes plastered behind her. All magicla theory, notes about Wonderland itself, things like that.]

So if it's the topic you know best, you're either a magic user or a scholar.

[The question is implied.]

Elemental, healing, spirit, primal, everything else there is? You might want to be more specific.
