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.

I think people are just too wrapped up in whatever stuff happened back home.

[ And from Dustin's perspective, it's pretty good. They found Will safe, the Demogorgon is Demogorgone, and Eleven may be missing in that world but she's here. That's what matters. ]

Think about it: you can get as much food as you want, you've got your own room that's more of a house if you want it to be, and every month you go on an adventure.

[ Even if some of them are the absolute worst, in his opinion, you get to make friends out of it. ]

[ He likes this guy. He says stuff like 'I've never been in want' of something. That's just fancy talk, as far as Dustin's concerned, and it's even cooler that he's not being treated like a snot-nosed kid. He's been through enough to deserve being talked to like a normal person, he thinks. ]

Who doesn't enjoy that sorta stuff? You can't tell me that running around in Neverland isn't at least kind of cool.

[ Let's ignore the tragedy that came with that, of course. Dustin wants to only focus on the positive. ]

Apparently we don't age here, so, why not? I'm going to be 11 forever anyway.

[ He doesn't seem too nonplussed about this, either. There are worse things. ]

The only reason that sucks is 'cause I'm never gonna get my teeth to grow in.

It's okay, there's people that look way older than you. You just look like my dad. [ Age wise, at least. ]
