001; Audio + Action
audio
[Being kidnapped isn't comforting for anyone, let alone someone as deeply paranoid as Bruce. He thinks of a rogue from Gotham that kidnaps young blondes and call them Alice. They're all mad in Gotham.
He wonders if they're all mad here too.
But he also knows how to mask that paranoia and rely on his public persona as he speaks over the network, choosing to keep to an audio post for now.]
My name is Bruce Wayne and while it is unlikely that my name has the weight here that it would have had at home but I figured I would put myself out there all the same. I'm sure you get tired of the same questions over and over again from new arrivals so I'll keep it to just this one.
What's the one thing you wish you had known about this place when you arrived? Advice or information that would have made the transition into Wonderland a little bit smoother, assuming such a transition is even possible, of course.
It goes without saying that you're free to leave more than one thing if you feel so inclined, I'm not going to turn away more information.
Thank you.
[And that's it, that's the post.]
Action
[After exhausting himself looking through the library he's managed to find the bar and order himself a drink to try to take to relax himself. Bruce doesn't remember the last time he felt this on edge -- which is saying something for him because he is always on edge in one way or another. This place seems mostly peaceful so far but it has to be some sort of deception. He was taken from his home, after all. And Gotham may not be the best of places but it is home and he'd like to get back to it. But he knows it won't be that easy, no one would bring that many people here without some sort of ulterior motives in play. They want something from all of them, the only question is what.
He throws back his first drink in one go. He can't imagine the catch is anything good but he has a feeling he'll know sooner or later. After all, there's always a catch. Some might call him cynical for jumping to conclusions like this so quickly but he likes to think he's being realistic. While Clark's death may have restored some well needed optimism to Bruce that doesn't mean he's blind to how cruel and ugly the world can be. He just knows now he has to try to be better than that himself.
What that means for him here, however, remains to be seen.]

[ Action ]
he misses you already, alfred.]
I'll take the special -- might as well keep with today's pattern of surprises
[ Action ]
Still, he shoots him a sympathetic glance at the request, going about mixing him a drink. ]
Ahh, one of the brand spanking new ones, huh? Surprise, it is. I'm Simon. Welcome to Wonderland.
Re: [ Action ]
That'd be me, I think it's been a few hours now, at least. Bruce Wayne.
no subject
Huh. He always got the most interesting people plunked down at his bar.
Sliding a glass of a concocted something currently bright green with just a hint of sweetness to it across the bar to the other man, Simon leans on the bar. ]
A few hours isn't long to wrap your head around things. It took me a few days, at the very least. But most people around here are good at answering questions - we've all been brand new and confused as hell. If I can help, don't be afraid to ask.
no subject
I imagine it'll take at least a week before things completely sink in, new change always needs an adjustment period. But if you have any sort of pointers you think a beginner should know, I'm all ears.
no subject
Pointers, huh? Well, I guess it depends on what you've heard already. The big ones are the magic closets, the alternate universes, the Mirror side, and the events based on all our memories, I suppose. Everything else sort of fits into place after you get the gist of those. You find anyone else here from your world yet?
no subject
[It'd be comforting to have Alfred here, maybe even useful if Diana was here. Anyone outside of that?
Probably messy.
Most of his relationships are pretty messy.]
no subject
[ He can sympathize with that sentiment, even if there was one other from his world who's been here as long as he has now. ]
Well, the good news is, pretty much everyone who's stuck here is helpful and friendly. In their own ways.
no subject
[He wouldn't wish the Joker on anyone, not even the Queen of Hearts]
I suppose they have to be, to survive. There's always better odds in numbers.
no subject
[ Because pretty much everyone wanders into the bar.
He inclines his head at Bruce's assessment, conceding. To an extent. ]
Sometimes, yes. It applies here, at least. Which is why even the people who are used to being loners have adjusted their ways a bit to work together with others.
no subject
[He wouldn't risk the likes of the Joker or Harley on an unexpecting public.]
I suppose I'll have to learn that lesson too, then.
[Because loner is like his second middle name. the first being orphan.]
