| Action & Threadjacking encouraged! She's in the Kitchen.|

[It's very rare that Rose graces the network in Wonderland, only having appeared once since she arrived here. That in and of itself makes this particular video rather curious. The subject at hand, likely one that's playing on everyone's mind but has Rose looking more than a little unsettled, despite her attempts to play at casual.

Clearly, she thinks the best way to deal right now, is to attempt to overdose on sugar; A plate piled high with an assortment of pastries, appearing in the corner of the shot.]

So... That whole thing with the Wonderland that wasn't really Wonderland?

[Her eyes narrow, teeth running over her lower lip as she carefully considers what she wants to say before giving it voice.]

We're all in agreement that it didn't really mean anything, right? It was just some, fake, alternate... you know, thing?

[She's obviously reaching but all this 'sciencey crap' is way outside of Rose's wheelhouse.]

Another one of Wonderland's stupid little mind games. [The unmistakable air of somebody trying to convince herself.

Rose breaks off a large chunk of a donut and pops it into her mouth, a flicker of doubt creeping in as she chews slowly.]

Right?

hey i'm not saying i condone it.
just that it's possible.

text

[littledhampir]

i guess they're not really 12 after they've been here for years anyway

text

[postictal]

that's getting into a whole ethics thing.
i'm really not the guy for that.

text

[littledhampir]

[ Rose takes her time - moreso- on this one cause... she maybe doesn't really know what he means by ethics. It's... Rose, ok. ]

i was just thinking that it sucks to be them

text

[postictal]

honestly, yeah.
not that being a kid is easy for anyone, but it's only gonna get harder when they grow up but the rest of them doesn't.

text

[littledhampir]

i kinda liked being a kid

[ Rose. You were never a kid. Not a normal one. ]

but being a grown up stuck in kids body would suck for sure

text

[postictal]

kids have it tough.
wouldn't go back to that for anything.

[Granted, it's not like his childhood was a particularly normal state of affairs either.]

maybe there's an event where they all get to be adults or something.
who knows

text

[littledhampir]

knowing our luck all the adults will turn into kids and it will be a disaster

text

[postictal]

god i hope not
that's the last thing any of us need.

text

[littledhampir]

which of course means its bound to happen now

text

[postictal]

goddamn
we've jinxed it.

text

[littledhampir]

[ This is why you two can't have nice things. ]

if it makes you feel better? the kids turned adults will have it worse
at least if they have to deal with kid me

text

[postictal]

the kids will have no idea how to be adults.
we're all fucked.

text

[littledhampir]

i always did wonder what would happen if we burned the mansion to the ground

text

[postictal]

knowing wonderland it'd put itself back together in a few hours.

text

[littledhampir]

this is why ive been telling people we should all move out of the mansion
after winter

text

[postictal]

and go where?
not like anyone's figured a way back home.

text

[littledhampir]

somewhere without mirrors for a start
at least one person here has to know how to build a shelter

text

[postictal]

yeah until wonderland takes that apart the next event.
it feels like every attempt to do some kind of preparation just backfires.

text

[littledhampir]

so we rebuild
has this kind of thing been tried before?

[Rose, he's newer than you.]

text

[postictal]

no idea
just saying it seems kind of repetitive
no wonder people prefer living here.

text

[littledhampir]

as opposed to almost getting killed every couple of weeks?

text

[postictal]

i guess some people would rather get killed in comfort.

[Can't say he blames them exactly.]
