video; attention everyone: stan pines is the worst, probably

[littlestreetcat]

[ Hello Wonderland! Have a girl who may or may not be familiar to some of you appearing on screen, curly hair wild and her face trying to hold a serious expression but failing. Her amusement is cracking through, and she's not doing much to stop it. ]

Hey everyone. You're probably wondering what this is about, but gimme a sec. There's just a little bit of explanation that needs to be out there first.

[ Just casually clearing her throat for effect. She wants to enjoy this, okay? ]

When I first got here about five months ago, Stan Pines and I made a bet. Very loose terms were negotiated. Stan lost, and I've been holding out on giving him his "prize."

[ Because she wanted to be able to spring it on him as a surprise, which she's finally doing today. Surprise, Stan!! Happy unbirthday. ]

I'm changing that today, though. That's why today, I'm calling Stan Pines out! I probably could have just gone up to him in person instead of broadcasting where everyone can see it, but where's the fun in that, right?

[ GRINNING. ]

Stan! ...Stanley? It's gotta be Stanley, right? [ She never asked what "Stan" is short for, in his case... ] --Whatever, you know who you are! You're officially being challenged. For losing our bet, you must run up and down one of the hallways of the mansion--I don't care what floor--in your underwear while screaming about how much you hate money. Make sure to sell it. No half-assed yelling, got it? Make sure the floors above and below can hear you.

[ Pointing at the camera now, Selina offers a cheeky look. Is this childish? Yeah, very. But what do you want? He was the grown man who agreed to such a ridiculous bet in the first place, he should have known what he was walking in to. ]

And in case anyone can't make it to watch, don't worry. I'll be recording it. You know, we should really start a Wonderland video scrapbook.

[ A laugh, and the feed cuts out. Hopefully Wonderland has a sense of humour. ]

He was dumb enough to make a bet with me.

[ Smug af. ]

Loser had to do something embarrassing, chosen by the winner. Since he lost and probably thought I forgot about it at this point, I figured I'd surprise him.

[suicidemission]

This is gonna be good.

What was the bet, if I can ask?

[littlestreetcat]

Nothing as entertaining as the result, honestly.

My first day here, he said I wouldn't still like being in Wonderland after a week or two, so I asked if he wanted to make it into a bet. Seeing how I still like being here almost six months later, he never stood a chance.

[suicidemission]

Yeah, countin' the minutes.

Why d'you like being here? I mean, I'd rather be here, but...yeah dunno bout likin' it...

[littlestreetcat]

Well, first thing? There's no magic where I'm from. We don't have crazy closets that hand you whatever you want, and we sure as hell don't have unlimited food whenever we want to eat.

[ Actually, some people might. But since she's living on the street back in Gotham, having access to all these things for the first time in her life is pretty amazing.

More so than she even lets on. ]

Some of the events kind of suck, but just about everything else around here makes up for those.

[suicidemission]

We don't have magic either. 'S fascinating.

[ He's aching to understand it. ]

Yeah...the events are a bit dodgy. Could do without those.

[littlestreetcat]

It's pretty awesome, yeah. Getting to meet people from all these different worlds is cool, too. Some of the places sound kind of boring, but most of them sound way different from anything I'm used to.

[ A good different. A lot of them sound like movies, or something, and what's not cool about that? ]

I mean, I don't mind some of the events. Without 'em, things would get boring, but a lot of them... Yeah. Dodgy's a word.

[suicidemission]

Same. Buncha places have like, superheroes and stuff. We have fighting robots.

[ not that that's good because rocks fall everyone dies but hey ]

Wasn't there one with zombies not long ago? Coulda done without that.

[littlestreetcat]

Y'know, I've never been one for fighting robots, but that's actually kind of cool. Superheroes are probably cooler, but.

[ Fighting robots is pretty neat all the same. All she's really got at home are some weirdo villains. ]

Zombies was kind of extreme, yeah. I did enjoy the tunnels with the treasure, though.

[suicidemission]

We're like superheroes in fighting robots. Savin' the world and all.

[ huff puff he's totally super k ]

Yeah? I didn't find much down there.

[littlestreetcat]

But you don't have superpowers.

[ Superheroes should totally have powers, okay. But sure man, whatever you say. ]

I only found a couple things, but I felt like they made it worth it. And it was pretty exciting down there anyway, though I could have done with fewer monsters.

[suicidemission]

Do in the jaeger. 'S like Iron Man on steroids.

[ cause jaegers are super cool. ]

What'd you find?

[littlestreetcat]

Oh yeah?

[ It sounds disbelieving and maybe a little taunting, if only because she wants him to elaborate a little more. ]

Well, it was a treasure hunt. I found treasure.

[ Duh. No, but it's more fun if she doesn't explain beyond that. ]
