[Cissie takes her time to get her bearings before she makes her first video post to the network. She appears on screen, looking like any other ordinary blonde haired, blue eyed American teenager. It's an image she intends to maintain, just like she does at home. She holds a hand up in a small wave, offering a tiny smile.]

Hello, Wonderland. Can I call you Wonderland? That's what I hear this place is, and can I just say that I'm kind of seriously regretting never reading those books before? I mean, I'm not the best student in the world, but I do like to know what I'm getting myself into. Not that reading would ever prepare me for getting kidnapped into a children's book, but I don't remember anything about kidnapping anyway, so clearly this is a case of the movie not following the book. ...Where this is the movie, if that wasn't obvious.

[Oh my god stop rambling, Cissie. She looks a litle abashed, blushing faintly. Great, her shot at introducing herself and she's sounding like a complete dork. She clears her throat and continues. Here comes the awkward part.]

Anyway, my name is Cissie King-Jones. I'm from Pennsylvania. You... may have seen me on a Wheaties box? If you're from where I'm from, that is. And if you are, I'd really like to know. And if you're not... it's nice to meet you?

If anyone wants to be kind enough to give me the Cliff Notes version of things, that would be awesome. I guess these kind of 'hey I'm new, what's up with this place' kind of questions probably get old after a while, so if you just want to introduce yourself, that's fine, too.

Hi Mabel. Thanks for the info. ...I did see that, with the mouse--Dormouse? That was an announcement? Does that happen a lot?

[powerofmabel]

Yeah, they're crazy cryptic and usually no one knows what they mean until stuff starts going cuckoo clocks.

[she shrugs.] Kiiinda. Wonderland likes to shake things up.

[cisskabob]

Cuckoo clocks? Like what? The only one I've heard about so far was a flood...

[powerofmabel]

There's events where there's zombies. Events where the whole area turns into things, like a wizard school or a town full of people with superpowers. Then there's events where we can shut off our emotions.

Stuff like that. It's all stuff that comes from our memories though, so if it could've happened to somebody here, it'll happen to all of us eventually. Crazy, huh?

[cisskabob]

...Crazy is right. So you're saying... if I lived through it, it could happen again? Here, for everyone to see and experience?

[powerofmabel]

Yup! There's at least a small chance of us having another event with gnomes, 'cause of me.

[cisskabob]

Gnomes? What happened to you with gnomes?

[powerofmabel]

They almost tried to marry me.

[well it's true.]

[cisskabob]

At home, or in Wonderland? Like... collectively??

[powerofmabel]

Back in Gravity Falls. And... Yeah, apparently if you marry one of 'em, you gotta marry all of 'em.

[she cringes.] Yikes...
