I do hate to interrupt, [ comes the voice behind the network's latest entry. his voice is weighted down heavily by a distinct brand of southern drawl — georgia flavor, to those able to recognize it ] but seein' as I won't be goin' anywhere any time soon, I do believe proper introductions are in order. The name's Henry, and I hail from a small town called Purgatory. It was 2017, last I checked, but I don't suppose dates mean much in a "wondrous" place such as this.

[ yeah, the alice in wonderland references are completely lost on a man who missed out on not only the book's publishing, but all the disney adaptations that followed it. ]

You wouldn't happen to know if things you were... say, tethered to in your previous, less than wonderful life are still that way in this one, would you? I'm also interested in hearing what one does in Wonderland, other than wait for one of these so-called "events" to crop up, of course. A man of my specific skillset could get awful bored mighty fast without something worthwhile to entertain him.

Partially, but seein' as I was also in cohorts with the US Marshals, it's a bit more than just a distinct lack of patients to see.

[ shout out to black badge for forcing him to sign a blood oath. thanks for the lie within a truth reasoning. ]

[readytocomply]

There aren't any US Marshals running around here that I know of. Least not a group of them. If keeping occupied between events is something you need to do, look into the training room. There's plenty of people here that like to spar.

[Among other forms of training. Weapons, some have superpowers they practice with.]

[wildwest]

I can safely say there are at least two Marshals in Wonderland. [ himself and wynonna. ]

Sparin' ain't really my thing. My defensive talents lie elsewhere.

[readytocomply]

Yourself and someone else? [He hadn't been counting new arrivals in that, but he would now.] I'm not sure I can point you in the right direction if you don't lay out what you do and what it takes to keep you occupied.

But I get not wanting to share. Try exploring the first couple of floors. There's a bunch of rooms that are open to the public. You might find something you like.

[wildwest]

Her name's Wynonna. [ earp, but they've agreed it's probably for the best if they leave her last name out of it. especially if he wants to keep flying under the radar a bit longer. ]

I am a marksman, to put it simply. [ gunslinger's more like it, but he's aware that nobody uses that terminology anymore. quickest draw and sharpest eye in the west. ]

[readytocomply]

Then you should head down to the shooting range. You can practice there. Set up something to keep you occupied.

[It might not be as good as field work, but it was something.]

I still suggest you explore. Wonderland's full of unusual things.

[wildwest]

[ and something's better than nothing. ]

Unusual may just be the understatement of the year.

[readytocomply]

Probably, but when you get to talking to people, you'll find that some of the worlds they came from are a lot stranger.

[Unless the place this guy came from was more unusual than Wonderland.]

[wildwest]

Would yours be one of those worlds?

[ his own is pretty damn strange. demons, revenants, curses, witches, immortals, ...whatever the hell dolls is. ]

[readytocomply]

No. Well, there's some parts that people might find unusual, but compared to all this, not really. Yours?

[wildwest]

Oh, there are most certainly aspects of my world which some here would undoubtedly find disturbing. Perhaps it is not nearly as bad as some of the world I am hearin' about from others here, but it has its demons.

[ emphasis on demons. ]
