[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.

Maybe I can throw the ones I don't like into it, testing the stability of travel.

[He's jooooking...... maybe.]

[postictal]

har har

[Yeah he's not gonna assume anything here.]

have fun getting out first

[projected]

I doubt it'll be all that fun, unless it involves killing whoever trapped us in the first place.

[postictal]

i'm sure you're the first person to ever have that idea, yeah

[projected]

I highly doubt that. Most people are violent by nature.

[postictal]

and that was a little thing we call sarcasm

[projected]

I know. I purposefully countered it with honest and upfront answers.

[postictal]

then should i counter with some further honesty?

[Honesty. That's the only real joke here. Coming from Tim, it's an absolute riot.]

it probably won't get you anywhere

[projected]

With you, or in general?

[postictal]

yes.

[There's your answer.]

[projected]

Hah. I like you. Funny guy. Make sure you stick around so I can talk to you again.

[postictal]

[He's...funny. No one usually calls him funny. Might just be 'cause he's some sort of source of entertainment?

Whatever.]

i'll do my best

[projected]

[Everyone is either boring or entertaining in Eobard's book. Rarely is there a middle ground.]

Until next time then.

[postictal]

yeah. see you.
