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

[morethan084]

Yeah. Probably pumped full of drugs too.

[She's only half joking about that, because honestly? It wouldn't surprise her.]

No. Somehow missed the tour given by the White Rabbit.

[mimic]

[ Okay. There's looking at the glass as being half empty, but in this case, it's more like it's just empty. ]

You should check the place out. It's not that bad and the people here are nice. I mean there are worst places to be. [ Like being stuck in a coma reliving the same nightmare day after day after day. ]

And as as far as I know, there's really no way out. You keep walking far out enough and you'll just end up back in your room.

[morethan084]

[And she's just empty.]

Have you ever tried it? Walking away from this place.

[mimic]

[ He walked, ran. He even flew. ]

Yeah. I did. It didn't work. I wouldn't recommend it. [ Peter is about to pour himself a glass to drink, but then decides against doing that because Sarah here probably already thinks he's an alcoholic. So instead he just sits back down. ]

Is everything alright back home? You seem a little on edge.

[morethan084]

What happens exactly? You just teleport back?

[Yeah, she's likely to try this even if he's warning her not to.

At his question she tenses.]

I just got dragged to this place against my will.

[mimic]

I'm not sure. That's what I've heard happens. I was told not to bother, but I tried it anyways. Found myself walking around in circles.

[ If Wonderland wants you to stay, you stay. ] It's magic, I guess. Seems a little silly to even say it out loud, but what else would explain all of this?

[assembles]

I guess I should leave you to talk to your team now, but I'm sure we'll be running into each other sooner rather than later.

[ So it goes with people who are from the same world. Just that small bit of common ground is enough to draw them to each other. Steve may not paint himself as much of a protector these days, though he also imagines Daisy can take care of herself. It doesn't mean he won't be keeping watch from afar when he can, though. ]

[morethan084]

[Her team. That's laughable. She wasn't apart of a team anymore, although he apparently didn't know that. Neither did Simmons or Fitz.]

Seems like there's not many other places to run to.

[bowsniper]

Not sure if I would classify it as that. We aren't all competing with each other to survive. You can't really die here anyway. I mean you do. You die. But then you wake up like nothing happened.

[ That was...well it wasn't a walk in the park. ]

[morethan084]

Wait.

[Give her a minute here.]

...What?

[morethan084]

Magic. Hell. Tomato, tomato.

[She knows he's just trying to help her by giving details, and she's not mad at him. Just the situation she's found herself in.]

Sorry. I just-

This is a lot to take in.

[divaricate]

I've been known to as well, yes.

[assembles]

Yeah. This place gets real small, real fast.

[ It's not always that easy to stretch your legs. ]

[bowsniper]

Yeeeeah. It's kind of hard to believe unless it happens. But no one stays dead. There's some talk about not wanting to die fives times because something happens but no one knows what actually happens.

[ Terrible explanations are terrible. ]

[thisismadfreaky]

I dunno. I've only seen her once, and I didn't talk to her. Far as I could tell from what I read on her post to the network, all she was doing was hinting at the next event. Seems like that's a thing they do-- [He waves a hand vaguely.] the characters we know from the books, I mean.

[bravejemma]

[She takes his hand and tries to prise it back open until he relents. If he keeps clenching the bad hand like that it's going to hurt, and it'll all be misery heaped on troubles. He can keep her hand to clench, if he likes.]

They will die just as we will -- and come back, too.

[morethan084]

Great. Awesome.

[Daisy does notice the way Fitz tenses up though. Clearly they've had, or at least he has, experience with this first hand. She just can't bring herself to ask about it. Not right now.]

I should go find my room, since that's all everyone here can talk about.

[hypoxic]

[He swats Jemma's hand away. He doesn't need to be babied, thanks much.]

It's right near ours. We can take you. The Avengers stay on the same floor.

[He talks about it the way some people might mention a rat infestation.]

[morethan084]

So they know what's coming every time?

[Maybe that's something she could work off of.]

[morethan084]

So you don't even remember that you've died?

[Five times?! Once is usually all there is.]

[morethan084]

It already feels small enough.

[And with that she hangs up, but it definitely won't be long until she sees him again.]

[morethan084]

Good. At least someone here is being realistic.

[morethan084]

[Well this isn't at all depressing to hear. Okay, maybe it is a little sweet.]

But life isn't that simple. Ever.

[She clearly knew that.]

I might have to take you up on those drinks. Just not right now.

[morethan084]

I'm gonna pass, but, nice try.

[thisismadfreaky]

Seems like it. [He shrugs a bit.] They don't give straight answers on anything, though, so it doesn't do much good to try questioning them.
