entranceway | [Video] Entry 001

[The camera flickers on, revealing John sitting up from being sprawled on the ground, holding his head. He groans, hissing to himself. From the grass around him, it looks like he's on the front lawn of the mansion. When he finally peeks through his fingers, the doctor notices the camera--likely his phone. He reaches for it, looking slightly perplexed when he realizes it's recording video--technology was never really his strong suit. He glances around, and when it's obvious he sees nothing familiar, he holds up the camera properly, looking into it with confusion, but resolve.]

This is John Watson, speaking. I'm currently in an unknown area and any sort of information would be... wonderful, thank you.

[The hinting of his military background dissolves slightly at the end of his request, and he gnaws at his lower lip as he observes his surroundings once more. Running a hand through his cropped hair, he mutters to himself;]

Well, one thing's for sure, this certainly isn't London...

[He then snorts in a self deprecating manner.]

Of course it isn't, John. Obvious deduction.

[He's speaking as if mimicking someone else chiding him, but the line of his mouth and the expression in his eyes is fond, if a bit sad, as he looks off. After a moment he remembers he's still on video. Clearing his throat, he fumbles with the phone uselessly a couple of times until the transmission finally shuts off.]

[The boy's energetic personality takes John aback, but he smiles after a moment. He's used to dealing with kids at the clinic, and from what he can tell, Aang isn't any different from them--even if the arrow tattoo throws him off a bit.]

Hello, Aang. Yes, my friend has been filling me in a bit about Wonderland... even if I'm still quite confused about most of it.

Don't worry, though, I'm out of the cold now, wouldn't do for a doctor to get sick, would it?

[Aang likes John already - he's friendly, smart - because hey, doctors are supposed to be really smart, right? - and comes across as a good person.]

I'm still confused about this place, too. Even the people who have been here for a long time still seem to not fully understand it!

Wow, you're a doctor? That's neat! I bet you like saving people, huh? Do you enjoy taking care of them?
