[Good morning Wonderland. At approximately 9AM this morning, a bicycle materializes out of thin air and crashes in the woods somewhere.

About half an hour later, the person responsible realizes that maybe that wasn't the best way to get rid of something and decides to address the network about it. So here's Zelena, looking like she really doesn't want to talk about this, but is going to anyway]

If you were out in the woods today and got hit by a bicycle, I suppose I owe you an apology. Decided to do some early spring cleaning, and...well, probably could've picked a better way to do it, but it's too late for that now.

[She smirks, an attempt at humor to go with an apology she doesn't really feel the need to give, but you know, there you go. She tried. And apparently that counts! Or at least that's what she's been led to believe.]

And if you weren't concussed this morning and actually want the damn thing, by all means, take it.

[Not like she wants to deal with it anymore. Especially not today, no thank you.]

[It's been a while since he last talked to her - over six months - but he remembers. And now that she throws bicycles into the woods, she has become even more memorable.]

That's one way to get rid of clutter. Should we be on the lookout for anything else?

This is probably one of the more amusing network addresses I've seen, and non-stressful, so thanks for that. A lot of people have been getting really existential lately. Nice to hear someone just apologizing for bicycle assault.

[ Sarah's being serious. Bless this post for not making her question her entire life in Wonderland. ]

Shoulda guessed it was you. [Zelena's the only person Kay knows of that can teleport.] It's slightly dented now, just so ya know.

Turns out that was the only thing that needed throwing out.

[The rest of it she just...well, not so much put away as moved to the other side of the room so it looks like an attempt was made.]

Never been too interested in existential debate.

[She shrugs, acting like her main motivation for years wasn't making someone not exist. Then again, there wasn't much debating going on.]

I exist, the rest of you do, and that bicycle does as well. An apology's far more useful in that situation than some sort of thought provoking question.

You apologized.

[ He grins. ]

I'm proud of you.

So, is there any reason why you wouldn't just...I don't know. Set it out somewhere with a sign that says 'free bike' and let someone have it? I mean, I feel like there are a lot of options before 'possibly maim someone' comes up on the list.

[ Sarah's amused, more than anything, not bothered, and maybe more than a little curious. ]

Was hoping for mangled and destined for the scrap heap, but I suppose that'll have to do.

[Then again, if she'd really wanted that, she could've done it without dropping the bike out of the sky.]

[SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS.]

Nothing to be proud of here if you ask me.

So, what's the matter? Want to upgrade to a car?

[He frowns momentarily, then smirks.]

Please don't throw that.

Far easier to just magic it somewhere else if you ask me.

[She shrugs.]

And for what it's worth, possibly maiming someone is a lot lower on my list than it used to be.

[Does that count for anything? She feels like it should.]

Absolutely not. Those things are deathtraps waiting to happen.

[She is so not a fan of cars. Why the magic users back home use them is beyond her. Just teleport around. It's safer and you don't need insurance or to worry about a seatbelt or any of that nonsense.]

Right? My words exactly.

[There's a reason he insists on people wearing seatbelts when he's in a car with them.]

Though that'd be even more so if you plan on throwing a car. Anyway, why exactly did you throw a bicycle?

Thought that's what you're supposed to do when you don't want something. Throw it away.

[There's an attempt at adding humor to the situation. Sort of.]

What'd the bike do to you? [No really. Tossing it into the woods is pretty extreme for "spring cleaning", Zelena!]

[ Oh man, looks like humbleness to Henry! ]

Hey, guess what? Didn't ask.

[ He grins at her, and he's just gonna keep being happy for this step in a positive direction. ]

When did you even get the bike?

What makes you think it did something?

[She's entirely dodging the question and not very well.]

[ Oh, wow. Just putting that out there, then. ]

Well, I'm glad that maiming isn't top priority anymore. Have you been in Wonderland long?

[ Maybe working out those anger issues? ]

[Wow Henry. Rude. Go to your room, young man.]

Event. The one with the labyrinth under Wonderland and all the...what were they called? Darkspawn. Think that was the name that man used.

[Evasion makes him want to know even more.]

Uh, you tossed it into the woods hoping it would get mangled? It did something.

For what it's worth, I am too.

[She's happier nowadays. That counts for something. Or at least she thinks it does.]

Been here, let's see. Almost three years by my count.

It's a bicycle. What could it possibly do to someone like me?

[Dodge, dodge, dodge.]

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I'm pretty sure I got locked in my room for it so I couldn't get to the caves no matter how bad I wanted to go. I'm pretty sure mom got...something, though. She never told me.

[ Henry's curious, though. ]

Why don't you want to keep it? I mean, it's been a while since that event.

[He shrugs carelessly.]

Dunno. It's why I was asking. [Though Kay's first guess would be unpleasant memories. He waits for a few seconds before adding on:]

Pretty sure I saw a pile of garbage behind the kitchen for the next item you want in the scrap heap.

Sure, sure. Just usually it's things that fit into a trash can and you actually see where it lands.

What was wrong with the bike?
