[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.]

It wasn't like what happened, that's for sure. There were more pirates, and a cool alligator, and the actual peter pan.

Why'd you name him Basil?

CW: murder mention

[theothermrgray]

[Dorian raises an eyebrow. Peter Pan... Wasn't he supposed to be leading the Lost Ones? Now Dorian finds it strange that good ol' Peter had been AWOL for the entire event, but that doesn't matter anymore.]

I believe one girl mentioned a crocodile when she stole one of the communication devices... And there were mermaids.

[Uh... Basil was named after a dead painter, but Dorian would rather not mention someone he stabbed multiple times, so...]

I named him after the herb. Basil's a lovely name for a rabbit, don't you think?

[chocolatepudding]

Yeah, but he's gonna eat himself. Rabbits eat plants, right?

[ Squint. ]

I like science, but I'm not very good at animals.

[theothermrgray]

Yes, but rabbits also know better than to confuse themselves for food.

[Plus it seems physically impossible.]

[A soft, nostalgic smile came across his lips.] Shall Basil and I meet you in the garden to-day?

[chocolatepudding]

You say today weird, but yeah. It won't, like, jump away or anything, right? The place--not the rabbit. I mean Neverland came out of nowhere, I won't be like, blindsided by anything?

[theothermrgray]

[The wonders of Victorian mannerisms.]

Dustin, I'm sure we would have some warning about the next event on the device. [by device, he means phone] Usually, there's some odd video by one of the Alice in Wonderland characters foreshadowing the event.

[chocolatepudding]

Like the girl with no eyes, right? That was Alice?

Have you actually seen her in person?

[theothermrgray]

[That girl...]

... Yes, but I haven't seen her.

I would like to know how she lost her eyes. Poor thing.

[chocolatepudding]

It's freaky. What if you just wake up and your eyes are gone? [ He claps his hands, loudly, in front of the screen. ]

Bam! Gone. Or like those dreams people have when their teeth fall out--I totally can't say I've had that one, though. [ He doesn't have many teeth, for one. ]

[theothermrgray]

[Dorian winces at the idea of loosing his eyes in his sleep.]

... Right, then. I hope meet you in the gardens soon.

[chocolatepudding]

Yeah! See you then.

[ Man, so far? wonderland's awesome. He meets so many cool people. ]
