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.

[ spelling out is what he needs, though. doc's not stupid — he's quit brilliant, in fact, but there's a good chunk of history and developments that he missed out on when he was down at the bottom of that goddamned well. he's out of step with time, and there's a laundry list of terminology and concepts that weren't even on the table when he was busy dying of tuberculosis. ]

Then I suppose it would be somethin' along those lines... [ magical. paranormal. supernatural? doc has no idea how to even classify clootie, let alone himself. ]

Then most likely...

[ He's probably already drawn the conclusion, but why stop explaining and stating obvious things? ]

You're still connected. For better or worse.

Lucky me.

[ at least he's here and the witch is still there. (please don't ever bring clootie here, wonderland. that would just be cruel.) ]

I do not believe I caught your name.

Caitlin. Caitlin Snow.

[ She leaves off the "doctor" part. Why stress it right now? ]

You don't sound like you're originally from Colorado.

Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Miss Snow.

[ were this video, he would've tipped his hat to her. ]

That obvious? [ it's painfully obvious, doc. ] I am originally from Georgia.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Henry. And call me Caitlin.

[ If it helps, she's imagining something like that. ]

What brought you from Georgia to Colorado? If I can ask.

Caitlin it is.

[ and because the best lies are rooted in truth: ] Treatment, if I'm bein' honest. I was sick for a while.

[ the doctors of the time told him the dry heat of the west would slow tuberculosis's roll. and it did. for a time. a hell of a lot longer than he was originally given. ]
