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.

Unfortunately. And that seems to be the way Wonderland likes it.

Oh, that it does. In fact, I think it's safe to say that it's what Wonderland is known for.

Oh I'm sure it will continue to find ways to exceed our expectations in that regard.

It takes something quiet powerful to play with my mind - and that was the least of the events, really.

Well, for one, Wonderland consumes on our memories over time. It starts in small ways, but I'm sure that the longer we stay here the more obvious it will become. And in other events, there have been instances where it's completely rewritten our entire lives, and led us to believe that we were someone else entirely.

It is. But the latter, at least, only lasts a short period of time. At least, that has been my experience.

You take them where you can find them. Or at least that's what I've learned.

[Not necessarily from Wonderland, specifically, but just life in general.]

I think we all are. Life is a work in progress - or something to that effect.

[She nods.]

And to not be held back by your ... detriments, I suppose is the proper word for it.

[Anything can be overcome if you're willing to work hard enough at it, or something to that effect.]
