[Excuse the random audio post, but Dorian has something he needs to get off of his chest.]
Well... It seems my birthday is approaching once more.
[He hesitantly sighs.] It's very strange. Before I came to Wonderland, I was sure that at least three weeks had passed...
[Since the incident with one of his old friends. He dare not speak of it, not on the network, but the guilt is trickling back and he needs some excuse to feel it in front of all these perfect strangers. Anything.]
... I don't know. Should I ignore it this year or celebrate it twice? And if I do celebrate, how?
[OOC: Possible content warning for gore. Dorian won't bring it up himself, but he's going to be thinking about it.]

[But then he thought back to Dipper and Mabel's video.]
Oh dear. How long do you think been in Wonderland? Maybe you wrote the date you arrived down somewhere.
no subject
[She knows she wrote it down on one of the many notes scattered around her room.]
It says I've been here for almost a month. How long have you been here?
no subject
About as long as you, I think.
no subject
[There's the sound of pages turning, and when she starts talking, she sounds a lot less enthusiastic.]
For Neverland, then? Then you absolutely need to celebrate being past that event.
no subject
Yes... Thank god we are past the Neverland event.
The wizard school event was much better.
no subject
[A quick check of her notebook confirms it.]
Was it fun? I remember seeing a movie about a wizard school, and it looked like a fun place to be.
[She can't remember the name of it though.]
no subject
[Dorian verbally shrugs.] The event somehow made me think I had been studying there for six years... Among other things. It was a better event than Neverland, at least.
[Dorian actually remember the name of the school, but he doesn't link it with the movie.]
no subject
[She's thinking about that one for a while. It's quiet except for the sound of pages turning.]
If that happened, I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd probably write the memories down and then...um, my notebook would get really confusing.
[It's already confusing.]

no subject
[She sure is talking a lot, but it's okay. It says right here in her notebook that Wonderland is a lonely place, so she should make friends.]
no subject
On the contrary- and you may want to write this down- If an event makes you think you are someone else, then there's a good chance almost everything about you would change. I've seen other species turn human, things existing as if they were made in the past, and other things like that.
My guess is that whatever was written in your notebook would suddenly reflect your temporary life, then change back once the event ends.
[Dorian's a bit of a social butterfly. He likes conversation.]
Though, if you wish to be a little more cautious, you could always carry a separate journal for recording events.
no subject
[She'll just jot that one down.]
I don't know if I should keep a second notebook though, I might forget where I put it.
[And after another brief moment of silence.]
Or someone might steal it.
no subject
If I could make a suggestion, you should ask the closet for a safe with a unique color to it. The safe should be large enough to fit more than one notebook, and you would need to make a detailed note about the safe in the journal you carry around everywhere.
[But what if somebody stole the journal she was carrying...]
Unless you had any better ideas. A better idea would be to have a secret room for your journals, but I don't know if that's possible here.
[Now that he thinks of it, why didn't he get to keep his portrait in Wonderland? Was its purpose rendered completely moot, or...]
no subject
[Apparently the same idea occurred to her.]
And if I made a secret room, I might forget it's there. So I just have to hope that no one here would steal my notebook. I can't imagine why they would anyway. It's got nothing to do with them.
[And yet she's the one who brought it up.]
no subject
[Note to self, secret compartments are useless when you have short term memory loss.]
If I'm not mistaken, you were the first to bring it up. Be careful with that thing, some people can't help but snoop around into other people's business.
[Even if it has nothing to do with them. People are so nosy.]
no subject
[A pause here.]
Except for when I'm sleeping, I sort of have to then.
no subject
I'm Dorian Gray. Pleased to meet you, Ryoko.
Now, is it wrong of me to assume you've taken to sleeping with your journal? [He asks jokingly.]
no subject
[...the joke went completely over her head. Sorry, sometimes she forgets her sense of humor too.]
no subject
You probably should. It might help you sleep at night.

no subject
Do take care of yourself, Ryoko.
