Wonderland's worst feature are its events.

That's a pretty common thought, right? Only this place doesn't usually come up with events on its own. They're all just baggage it dredges up from our own worlds. When you look at it that way you could probably even make a case for Wonderland itself being pretty decent.

So here's a question: You've got the choice, go back to where you left off, or stay in Wonderland for good. Which one do you pick, and why?

[ Man, does he think about this one for a long time.

Or, rather: he has thought about this one for a long time. ]

I'd go back.

go back. no question about it.

[Yeah, he knows he's pretty much going back to die within weeks but honestly, that's the way it should be.]

Yes, because the dredges of constant suffering and the traumas of those previously afflicted parties forced upon us all are truly the acts of some entity who is "pretty decent."

Lot of people talkign about this lately.

I gotta go back. If it's not me who's dead, I have to go back.

[ Of course, she can't know if it's her or not. Not yet. Which means she has to go back to find out. ]

Because I'm not leaving it the way I did.

[Well that was definitely a conversation Newt found interesting, both with what concerned him daily and what he had recently been through in Wonderland.]

I've not been here long, but I wouldn't hesitate to return. Beyond trying to help save a child's life, I left behind some creatures very special and beloved to me and would like to return to them.

That said, I have heard of reasons why some would stay here, given the lives they came from. There are worst things than this place, it seems.

[ This is even a question?? Everyone doesn't just feel the same way? Or, maybe they do, with different reasoning. ]

I'd go home. Who would choose to stay someplace where everybody else who's forced to be here got kidnapped too?

Home is where I belong. I have people there. [ People who she needs, who may need her. ]

Provided there is a way to do so and remain alive, I wish to return.

[It should be obvious to most people. You'd go back home, where you left off. However, Dorian has an obsessed stalker back home, and there are so many new things to try here. On the other hand, he doesn't much care for the events, or his Mirror...]

I honestly feel a bit conflicted about the whole thing myself. Why must I decide between the two worlds?

[Jean is enjoying his brand-new knowledge of how to use a keyboard. Please excuse any long pauses or mistakes.]

Im used to crappy situations so this isnt that bad. jut annoying. But i've got stuff to do at home so I'd like to go bacck

i'd stay. there's not much of a future for me to go back to.

I'd miss my friends, but I'd go back.

stay.

[Is It more contained like this? Who can say. But this way, It won't spread beyond this secluded little spot of world. Counts for something, even if it means - he can't finish things the way he should.

Well, it counts for something.]

I guess I'd stay, seeing how back home my bridges are all sufficiently burned. After the point, sticking around with the devil you know stops being worth it.

[Yeah, yeah, events, bad, whatever, but it's not the worst part.]

Wonderland's worst feature is that I'm never gonna finish puberty. I'm just saying, I'd be okay coming back in a few years, but I'd like to go home long enough to grow up at least.

[Oh, isn't that the question.

Georgia doesn't have to answer. She almost doesn't. Her feelings are too conflicted. Namely, in that she doesn't want to go home but if she had the choice she'd do it anyway. Wonderland's a whole lot better than home in pretty much every conceivable way besides the lack of wifi, but her own wants so rarely dictate what she chooses, and she has a story to finish, even if she knows it'll kill her.

But it's an interesting enough debate that she can't resist.]

Giving us a choice changes the entire premise. It stops being a cage and starts being some kind of fucked up vacation home.

[Lis doesn't even have to think about an answer to that, it's automatic. She's been thinking it since she heard about her brother's fate. She'd made up her mind already. Some were fighting to leave--to find a way back home. She was fighting to,]

I'd stay. Everyone I care about is here. If I go back, I lose the one person in my entire life that matters. I have nothing back home.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I really don't care. Wonderland has its dangers, but like you said, those dangers came from other people's homes. Really, it's just paradise with a catch. What doesn't have a catch these days?

What would you choose?

I think I would stay. Because there's a better chance for me to see people here again that I won't get to ever see back home.

[ What a downer, Henry. ]

[ Well, this isn't so complicated for Tess. Or maybe it is. ]

I'm dead back home, so it doesn't leave much to be desired on that front. But, if I stayed would I have to deal with the events bullshit forever? Because if that's the case, home might not be so bad.

I haven't been here long enough to make that judgment.

At this point, however, I don't have a clear preference.

I'd hardly say something that dredges up the worst of our worlds from our memories "decent."

[But that's not the question, is it.]

I would return. My niece is going to need me when she's older.

i've got to go back

[If only to assuage his constant fear that people he cares about may actually be dead.]

not just for important reasons, but i have to admit the lack of environmental diversity here is really getting to me

I'd still like to go home.
