[Amanda should be in shock. And she probably is. But she's running on autopilot, so to speak. She has the vague memory of what happened, or was going to happen, and she doesn't want to think on it. What she and Nick had been going to do if--

So, she's not. She's not thinking about feelings. She's going into scientist mode. Which means asking questions about everything except herself.

When she appears on the feed, the fingers of the hand not holding her device are notably curled in slightly and fidgeting a little, like she's not sure what to do with them. Which she's not. She looks a little dazed, but she's smiling nervously]

Ah. Hello...I'm... not really sure who I'm addressing, I'm sorry. [she laughs a little, biting her lip for just a moment before continuing] My name is Dr. Amanda Perry. I'm from Earth, which I'm going to hazard isn't where I am now. If anyone could tell me...[she hesitates; she should ask how she got here, but she's afraid she won't like the answer, given her last memory] where here is, exactly, I would appreciate it.

Also, if there's anyone from Destiny here--[another noticeable pause. Does she ask for Nick specifically? No. Not yet] I'm all right. I'm...me. Which you can see, obviously, but…[she cuts herself off, because this could get depressing fast if she goes into details about that]

Anyway, ah...I'll appreciate any information anyone can give me. Thank you.

Let me be the first to tell you that it's a prison and ain't nobody can tell me different.

I'm certainly not going to be arguing with you right away, especially considering the mysterious nature of arrivals from what I've observed so far, but do you have any other particular reason to believe that?

[beatupgrass]

Aside from bein' way more experienced with 'em than most people? Anything you can't get out of is a prison. You can't get out of Wonderland- 'least not easily.

[miss_brilliant]

Well, I can't argue with that definition. And I would suppose the novelty factor wears off after awhile.

'Not easily' implies there are individuals who have done it, though?

You go home when it decides it don't want you no more. Allegedly.

So basically, it works in the same manner as our arrivals.

[so she could get sucked back into...whatever that dark void she was in at any time. That's not a very comforting thought]

Has anyone...come back after leaving? [because if death is temporary, maybe departures are as well]

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, but some of 'em don't remember ever bein' here. That's why I say "allegedly." A lot could be happenin' and they wouldn't know it.
