[Lapis isn't the kind of person who immediately responds to being trapped in a strange place by posting to its social media. Right now she's had time to acquaint herself with the situation, i.e. freak out, i.e. find a couple helpful pamphlets, poke her head inside the mansion, and then spend some time trying very hard to leave. This is just as well since everyone's already had enough of drowning for a while.

It's only after she's exhausted herself that her attention wanders to the little device waiting patiently for her, as if it knew she'd have to give up. It'd probably look smug if it could. Just in case it might actually be worthwhile somehow she even scans the recent posts, but of course there are no answers she would want. So that's what she's supposed to do, huh? Sit tight, make herself at home, and join in the hopeless little community of fellow prisoners? Lapis almost chucks the thing off the roof; she doesn't want Wonderland's garbage. And yet, here it is.

...Not that much of that matters to the audience. In text, after all, nobody can tell how much lid someone's flipping.]

I know it's too much to hope for, but you're absolutely sure this isn't some kind of personal nightmare I'm having?
It'd be a first considering I don't sleep, but the mirror thing is pretty suspect.
Your ocean is broken, by the way.

[She's sprawled out on the roof if you'd rather stumble upon her in person. Hopefully not literally.]

Technically, my people don't have names.
I'm Lapis Lazuli.

[she is a woman of contradictions]

[onetruemorty]

oh thats a pretty cool name

or is it like a title? i guess it could be either.

[ssmisery]

Name works. [One could also call it a description. Really, Lapis has never had any problem treating her name as a name, she's just trying to be difficult.]
It's cool, huh?

[onetruemorty]

well yeah i think so. i've actually never met anyone with that name before or anything. and ive had a lot of time to get out there and meet people in different dimensions so that's pretty cool in my book

[ssmisery]

I've never met anyone named Morty.

[onetruemorty]

whoa really?

i guess i haven't technically met anyone else named morty either. there are some versions of me from different dimensions and stuff out there though. i don't know if that counts since its basically just like having a hundred of the same person around

[ssmisery]

Are there not supposed to be that many mortys?

[onetruemorty]

i dunno

i guess there has to be like one for every dimension where we have a grandpa around to take us around on adventures and stuff

they kind of need us to keep them from getting found and arrested

[ssmisery]

[She doesn't understand any of this, so it's extremely convenient that she doesn't give a shit.]

You have to bear in mind I know maybe two humans.
That is what you are, right? There are a lot of them around here.

[onetruemorty]

[ that's cool. he doesn't really get any of the science as far as actually explaining it goes anyway. ]

yeah we're humans. i am at least. there might be like a fish person me or a robot me out there somewhere?

its a whole dumb setup, i don't really get it all the time

so i guess you're not human huh?

[ssmisery]

I'm a Gem.
You could say I'm an alien. Or a magic rock person. I don't actually care.

[onetruemorty]

i'm cool with either. it sounds pretty alien to me either way. and hey that explains your name and everything!

[ssmisery]

Yep, it does. There you go.
Anything else?

[onetruemorty]

i guess not

good luck with your ocean stuff or whatever though

try not to drown anybody if you figure it out?

[ssmisery]

No promises, but I'll try.
