Dear Wonderland.

[She says it like she's starting a letter. To all of you Wonderland girls and guys! She's obviously in her room, the wall of pasted-on Polaroid photos behind her, with softly lit lanterns hanging across the surface on thin wires. It's late at night- or rather, it's the wee hours of the morning. Max has no idea how much the old midnight gang of insomniacs still prowls around the network. She used to be pretty active at this time- not so much anymore.]

This is gonna sound kinda weird, but I swear I'm not off my rocker. Maybe groggy and craving for food, but not crazy.

[ Come on Max, stop embarrassing yourself on the network!]

I was just thinking that I would've graduated by now, since it's June. I'd probably be scrambling to find some sort of arts college that I can afford or that I can even get into. [Or not. Spending a year traveling and taking photos sounds great, too, but college seems pretty important.] And it sucks that I don't have school here.

But... obviously a lot of things suck about Wonderland. Nutso mirrors, certain newbies showing up, all kinds of scary mystery type stuff, nasty events. I mean, sometimes it's... just shit. [Like the past few days, for a lot of people. The network's been full of downers. Her brow furrows as she looks to the side, and her mouth curves into a slight frown.] And I'm sure some of us are bringing in a ton of messed up baggage from back home, too.

[She holds up a stack of instant photos, maybe seven or eight. She angles the stack sideways, so only the sides can be seen by the camera. The girl's still a little too shy to show the actual images.] But see this? Each one's a photo of a... a friend I've made here. People I could actually hang out with. [She waves the little stack at the screen, preparing herself for this next admission.] That's more friends than I had- have in my school.

So yeah, Wonderland totally bombs sometimes. But there's some pretty good stuff going on, too. And I know this is gonna be really hard right now, but I want to hear it- what's something you're super grateful for? Something you might never have had if you hadn't fallen down the rabbit hole? [She tries to make it sound like it's fun challenge, smiling timidly at the screen.] Cuz I'm sure you could name at least three things.

[[OOC: After the post, she leaves her room to roam around the mansion, phone light in hand. Feel free to bump into her wherever! Also, she'll be replying to all responses, even the ones after sunrise.]]

The free food and shelter thing is pretty nice. And I got to see someone I haven't seen in years. She even apologized for messing up the last time we saw each other. I never would have expected that.

Sometimes I wonder if she actually a...you know, some kind of construct or something. Not really her.

I'm grateful for the friends I've made. And being able to see different places is nice.

That's what I've been saying. That's why I have all my scrapbooks and pictures, and what's extra cruddy is that I can't even take that with me when we go home.

I'm grateful for the friends I've made, and for movies, and cocktails! [Well maybe not so much that last one. She still remembered the terrible headache when she'd woken up the next day.] You're right, there's a lot to appreciate here.

That doesn't sound crazy at all. It's pretty amazing to be able to look at things like that.

[Neal should know; he made a broadcast like this himself, ages ago. And for the record, this one is worlds better.]

I get to spend time with my family here. My son. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

[God, everything's been so shit lately, and he kind of really needed to hear this.]

this is nice, max.

[Small reminders that things aren't going to be constantly terrible are important. Even if it just means that things are sometimes slightly less terrible.]
punful: (but i didn't have the backbone for it)

[He can't help smiling at the picture. Yeah, that was a good day.]

heh. dodging is what i do.

[One of so few things he's actually good at.]

you're a good friend too. never would have met you or anyone else if i hadn't come here, right? so that's nice. even if it's temporary.

[One day, without any warning...]
howkickassiam: (I dunno)

Is that some kind of metaphor for a dream world, or something?
powerofmabel: (☆ all the years that we stood there)

[personal profile] powerofmabel 2016-06-15 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! [she grabs the one closest to her and holds it up. it's covered in stickers and glitter glue and little stars and hearts. she opens it up revealing pages of Polaroids with captions as she flips through. a lot of the images are candids of various people who probably didn't know they were being photographed, but most are of Mabel, herself, and all the people she's met, some still here and some not.] Boom! I've got a few of 'em now, actually. It's amazing how fast they fill up.

It's 2551 where I'm from. Don't worry, though, I know a lot of the people here are from the past.

Never heard of any of 'em, sorry.

Sounds a little depressing though, maybe.
punful: (sounds sanstastic)

[personal profile] punful 2016-06-15 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
yeah. that's generally how i see things.

[Because eventually it all stops or Resets, everyone forgets and it doesn't matter anymore. It only ever matters in the moment.]

man...i have to come up with two more? you're giving me a real workout.
punful: (let me think of a good pun)

[personal profile] punful 2016-06-15 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
aww. didn't know we were playing hardmode.

[Two entire things, huh.]

the...sky is nice. sun, clouds. stars. always did like stars. i know they're, uh, technically just people's memories or something, but they're more real than what we had underground.
