[When the feed clicks on, there is only a faint static sound with what sounds like the microphone being covered a couple times. From the turn of the sound, one can surmise the device is being moved in the hand of the person who turned on the feed.]

This crude device is quite deceptive. At first it looked like an antiquated smart phone of sort, but inspection shows a different story. I'm a bit more impressed to learn it connects to a network that everyone is on. A means of communication is interesting... I'm curious as to why it even exists actually. Maybe that question is intentionally open-ended?

[He huffs a quiet breath of laughter out, the number of possible answers already sprouting to mind.]

If I'm being honest, I never really liked Alice in Wonderland. I can acknowledge it's historical value, and it's why I read it, but Alice herself was... fake. Designed as the perfect image of childhood innocence. She went around this new world so new to her without fear, wondered by all around her. Any flaw with her was never designed, but created by those who read the story. The world, much like this one, was of far more interest.

...What do you think of Alice though? Was she foolish for being too trusting of Wonderland, or can she be absolved for her curious nature? I think the answer you would pick, even if you don't say it aloud, reveals what kind of person you are.

If you don't want to share your answer that's fine. However I am curious about what kind of people are here. A melting pot of universes isn't exactly commonplace. I do hope this place won't be as tedious as reading Alice's adventures.

[Ah... how interesting to see this face here.]

Hah. Probably not, given the allusions to opium use that have been gleamed at in text. Though I was a young man, and not tempted to take any sort of drug or drink alcohol.

[Even if he wanted to now, getting inebriated isn't possible for him anymore. A small downside of his powers.]

[catchacold]

You were a young man and not tempted?

Novel.

[Sticking with the book allusions.]

Then what's your poison now?

[projected]

I was... eleven I'd say. My lack of temptation had nothing to do with innocence, but with disinterest. Drugs aren't easy to procure where I'm from.

[His time is a far healthier place than the 21st century. Vices like these exist, but they're far less available.]

A glass of whiskey on the rocks. A glass or two is enough per day. I never give myself more than what I need. Indulgence can be its own vice when you don't keep sight of things.

[catchacold]

Think your issue is calling yourself a young man at age eleven. Ain't nobody gonna give a square like that anything.

[Not that he's in favour of an eleven year old getting anything like that. honestly.]

Don't like to lose control? There's a free bar here. Everything's free here. Gets old quickly.

[projected]

I grew up quickly. [It was demanded of him, as the successor to the Thawne name, and he never shied away.] What's the issue with things being free? Does it make things less rewarding when they're handed to you?

[catchacold]

[He was the successor to the Snart name, which is kind of a lousy deal when you're already named Leonard, but there you go.]

Kind of. Mostly it makes it very pointless to steal anything.

[projected]

How sad. A kleptomaniac without a means to sate his urge. Maybe you just haven't found something that's worth stealing yet.

[catchacold]

See, you're even giving me a diagnosis for free.

[Are there things worth stealing? Depends on what aim he has with it.]

I'll just have to learn how to cope. What's your deal?

[projected]

[The diagnosis comment gets a light snort out of him, but he then goes on to answer Snart's question.]

Me? I have no hang-ups. I just live my life as I please, and people around me need to get used to that.

[catchacold]

See, that could mean just about anything, depending on what pleases you.

[And how he deals with the people who don't get used to it.]

Anyway. Wonderland's going to change things around on you, fair warning.

[projected]

You're a very good listener. [He says with a smirk in his voice, because it doesn't surprise him. Ah, but he can't let on who he is too soon.] I don't mind adapting to change. Sometimes it's better to work in the confines of an unfortunate situation, and change your fortune from within.

[catchacold]

What can I say? I'm a people person. [He doesn't realise that there might be any recognition. He doesn't recognise the man and his own time travelling days are - to his knowledge - in the past.]

Sure. Can't wait to see you turned to a child, that one's always fun.

[projected]

...I wouldn't be much fun as a child. I was very arrogant and talked down to everyone I spoke with.

[As opposed to now......]

[catchacold]

I'd hope so, else how'd anyone recognise you?

[Leonard Snart. So charming.]

[projected]

I bet I would recognize you similarly. Though you may also be caught pickpocketing people.

[catchacold]

No.

If I got caught, it wouldn't be me.

[projected]

I very much doubt that.

Take care for now, thief. We'll speak again soon, I'm sure.

[if guggenheim stops dicking everyone around and just confirms if snart will be part of the legion of doom smh]
