VIDEO-OTA

[morethan084]

[Daisy played with the settings on the communication device she had found until she got one meant for streaming a video. Putting the device at arms length, Daisy tapped ‘video’ and it began to record her live.]

Right, so. This is a lot to take in, apparently this happens a lot around here? People getting sucked into Wonderland? Is it seriously called that? I haven’t seen Alice or the Mad Hatter around here, so I’m having a hard time believing in…

[She’s sure that someone is watching her right now and making a face.]

Okay, that was a lame joke. But this is just some weird, fucked up dream. Right?

[Daisy knows she rambles, she’s good at it. Especially when she’s overwhelmed.]

I’m still waiting to wake up from this, but, for the hell of it…

I’m Sarah.

[What? She doesn't know that here she isn't a wanted woman.]

If anyone is listening to this, I’d really appreciate knowing what the hell just happened to me. I was walking out of a room and the next thing I know I’m falling into a fountain.

Comments

[ He speaks in short, clipped sentences. This is a debriefing, as dispassionately as he can deliver it. ]

Mirrors got out once. They could've used our work to tear down the barrier between their world and ours. I ran self- destruct protocols to buy time for the Avengers to arrive and secure the labspace.

[ For all the good that did. ]

[punful]

yep. that's what i said.

[bravejemma]

[All the good, Fitz.]

The point is just that the mirror side could have used it to wreak more havoc than they already did. And the end result is just that we now have to rebuild the research.

[Dipper rolls his eyes again. He could explain his entire plan, but he hasn't made it yet and anyway, he's got nothing to prove. He's done amazing things. Adults doubting him isn't less annoying than it's always been, but he can handle it.]

As the person who's been in Wonderland for more than five minutes, I think I can make my own calls on what I should do. Now do you have any questions that aren't about my life choices? Anyone give you the brochure yet?

[Given the amount of judgment she's received for comments like that, Rose was bracing for much of the same; Surprise registering briefly on her features before a hint of a smile dares to grace her lips. A small nod of acknowledgment, maybe even approval.

Adjusting her position, there's a small shift in tone: The near careless way she tackled heavy subjects, slipping away as Rose adopts a more somber approach.]

Is there anything you need or want to know that you haven't had thrown at you already?

[thisismadfreaky]

Yeah, basically. [Which is so hard for him to admit, actually, because accepting there's no logic or reason to things is ridiculous from his perspective.] I mean, if there's any rhyme or reason to it, no one's figured it out.

[morethan084]

So what? You're the devil in disguise?

[If only she knew.]

[morethan084]

Probably not a bad idea.

[So did whoever take them have a type?]

So we're basically the lost boys in this place?

[morethan084]

The last thing I'd ever do is ever give up on getting out of here.

[He should know that, if he actually knew her. Which was still hard to process. Captain America knew who she was.]

Maybe we can get together sometime. Go over what you have tried.

[morethan084]

[Good. At least she's aware of how much bullshit these people were spewing to the new guys.]

Pretty much. Do they actually expect us to fall for it and act like this isn't completely messed up?

[morethan084]

[She knows deflecting when she sees it, some would even say she invented it. Still, she offers the kid a smile.]

Well, unless it's possible here to eat through screens, I don't think I can share with you.

[morethan084]

Sorry. This is just new for me. I'm assuming wherever you're from, living skeletons are a common thing?

[morethan084]

This whole mirror thing is...

I mean there has to be some way to get rid of them, right? Just destroy the mirrors? Throw holy water, say a prayer over the shards of glass? Something.

[morethan084]

I'm just saying, working as a team is safer.

[And sue her, she doesn't want kids getting hurt.]

Yeah, I got it from someone else.

[hypoxic]

You kill them the same way you kill anyone. It's just that death has a habit of not sticking while we're here.

[His fingers clench until his knuckles go white.]

[divaricate]

Probably. [Said with a snort.] It seems to be working well enough on many of the ones here. I will say you won't be short of things to call bullshit on, if that's your hobby.

[chocolatepudding]

We're in a mansion. It's big, but it's not that big--I can find you. Or you find me. You got a room yet?

[lightgunhustler]

Funny you should say that. We did have a 'weekend getaway' to Neverland not too long ago.

[A vacation it was not, but still.]

Lost boys aren't a bad analogy, though.

[punful]

i wouldn't say common. but there's at least one other.

[krmvgivv]

I know that. I've got a team. Never said I wasn't going to use a team, geeze.

[bowsniper]

[ Well, nothing like throwing her right into it. ]

I wish I was kidding. [ Especially since that was the first time he died here. Not something he would wish on anyone. ]

This place brings in people from different worlds. Places we think are just stories from books sometimes. There are a few people here from worlds where zombies are a thing.

This place also likes to take things from our memories and make us all live through them. So yeah, a week of zombies.

[walkingheroin]

I'm not in a disguise at all, actually.

[morethan084]

[Hold up.]

Are you saying you're the devil?

[morethan084]

So people end up literally living their nightmares?

[She takes a few seconds to let that sink in before saying:]

This place gets worse by the second.

[morethan084]

[She's not about to have an argument with a kid.]

I'm just offering my help. If you need it.
