▲ 2nd Cipher ▲ (Backdated to Midweek of the Party) OTA

[Bill is positively over the moon; he pops on the feed without preamble, knocking back a martini before morphing his eye into a toothy mouth to inhale the thing whole.]

"Got to HAND IT to ya WONDERLAND, NOTHING SAYS A PARTY like EVERYONE HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AT ONCE, MASSES PUZZLING OVER inanely "SiMPLE!" CLUES and an OPEN BAR! A SHAME our ESTEEMED HOST doesn't want to SHOW THEMSELVES. We OUGHT to give them a ROYAL WELCOME!... Unless of course, it's NOT who we THINK it is."

[Gone is Bill's typically casual posture. He floats aloft, hands aflame in a pose much more reminiscent of the idols erected in his honor by generations past. His yellow hue, a bit more gold, his luminescence, brighter and more godlike than ever before. He looks positively regal; and why shouldn't he? He has company to impress, for once. All he's missing is a crown.]

"I know I'D hate to be RULED by something that CLAIMS to have POWER over what it CLEARLY DOESN'T. Between you and me, WONDERLAND could use a bit more WONDER-- HERE's a few things worth WONDERING about:

WONDER what happens if you ASK for TOO MANY REQUESTS from the CLOSETS!

WONDER how we got SO MANY different PEOPLE!

WONDER HOW INFINITE the INFINITELY deep pool REALLY is!

WONDER HOW MANY QUESTIONS IT TAKES before you WANE DOWN someone's SANITY through SHEER ANNOYANCE ALONE!

WONDER WHY we ACCEPT someone to be in POWER when they never prove WHY they DESERVE to have it.

[What? It's not treason if he poses it in the form of a question, right~?]

REMEMBER! CURIOSITY might have KILLED THE CAT, but if SCHRODINGER'S INVOLVED; there's MORE to THAT STORY!

OOC: Howdy friends! Due to rl, I'll be a bit slow on replies but everyone (yes, you, 4th wallers) are welcome to backtag this even after the 10th! Bill does have his Omniscence here, so for those unfamiliar with his character, have some handy links. He can't turn these abilities off, but I never want to use Bill's powers to ruin someone else's fun. if there is something you want/absolutely do not want, feel free to PM me any time! Happy 10th Eway~

[What a strange form this one has... she shakes her head at the possible questions he's posing. It's frightening to think about the unknown like that. And why question the authority when they have so much power over them? Especially with Wonderland.

Then again, it's the same with the Diamond Authority, and Pearl now protects Earth from homeworld, a traitor.]

Maybe... sometimes there are supposed to be questions left unanswered. If they had so much power to bring us here in the first place... [Maybe they should just accept it, until proven otherwise?]

B-Besides! This is probably one of those events people keep telling me about. It'll pass and things will become... relatively normal once again.

[Of course they're going to take advantage of this to talk to the Real thing. He delights in spreading chaos and agony! What's not charming about that? It's an absolute buffet of the things this Frisk knows and loves!]

Depends on the questions, really. Like, if you throw one paradox at a really badly-programmed robot, it kinda just explodes or something. So that's like, one question! Easy.

[This is not the same Napstablook that he spoke to on Genosha. For one thing, this one is much less human-shape, and for another thing, they're definitely a mirror.]

you're not..... implying..... treason.....

against her royal majesty the queen.....

publicly...

are you......?

[their eyes are narrow and they scowl at the triangle, positively baffled at such lack of tact, not to mention the blatant disrespect of the queen's authority.

offhandedly, they hope the queen keeps up with the network so that she sees them standing up for her.]

I'm a little busy wondering what I'm looking at right now.

We haven't accepted anyone to be in power.

[ A talking triangle is arguably the strangest thing he's seen in Wonderland so far, and maybe it caused him a moment of pause while taking in the initial message, but it wanes quickly with the series of questions. They're actually pretty good questions, for the most part, but it's the last one that sticks out to Shiro the most. ]

Not in that we allowed them to have it, anyway. They have power, and they have it over all of us. It's not deserved, but if they've managed to trap everyone here, I'm not sure that anyone has the power to rival it.

[ Not that this will stop him from fighting against what he can, but this implied idea that all of them have simply accepted being ruled over by someone or something is unsettling, to say the least. ]

Well THIS is awkward. Which one of us has to go HOME and CHANGE?

[The feed flickers for a moment before a suspiciously familiar triangle appears. He has none of the regal posture of the version of himself that he's speaking to, instead floating lazily. For all the cheerful snark, it's probably not hard to tell that Bill isn't in the best mood.

Things in his life were on track. He had plans. He had a six-fingered nerd building a portal for him. He didn't need to find himself stuck in "Wonderland".]

[It's a bit jarring to have a sense of relief in seeing Bill, of all people, on the Network, but it kind of is. With how hectic this entire event has been, any familiar face on the Network that isn't in any abject danger is a welcome sight.]

Well! Bold words from someone who can't be physically touched by the Queen of Hearts. You're not worried that she's going to take your questions personally?

[He knows way more about Bill than he ever wanted to know, thanks to accidentally seeing Ford's memories a couple of weeks back, but... he doesn't see a point in letting Bill be an enemy over someone he likes but isn't close with. He'd prefer to keep their "friendship" for now.]

[Bold words, and ones that Dipper is certainly willing to get behind. He is, of course, loyal to the Queen of Hearts. She made him, and he knows she could unmake him at any point. It does quite a bit to instill loyalty in someone. Or at least, something like it.

Bill is powerful. Bill has more knowledge than any other being Dipper has ever known. If Dipper helps Bill, he can get what he wants. Infinite knowledge. And maybe a way to not be under the queen's thumb. That would be nice.]

Are you planning a coup?

The funny thing is... he didn't know.

Until it was too late.

Even then...

POWER?

He never sought, or desired power.

He was friendly and wise.

Wonderland ate him, then spit him out. Somehow he REMEMBERED.

Now here we sit. All of us seemingly dumbfounded. This was cleared WAY up the chain by someone other than "those two". All of this is of a higher nature. He pretends to be no one. He is himself.

- btw - People cant help the names given to them at birth.
