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.

Rebekah Mikaelson. [Her last name doesn't hold the weight here that it did in her own world, though certainly plenty of people she ran into knew Freya and Klaus, but she has no reason to not give the entire name either.

She has nothing to hide.]

It's nice to meet you Henry.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine, Miss Mikaelson.

[ doc no. ]

Please, just Rebekah is fine. [Not that she minds the flattery, it's quite nice thank you.]

What's your poison?

Rebekah, then. [ tip of his hat. no harm in mingling with the locals. might as well, considering how long it looks like ~~they~~ he might be here. ]

Whiskey.

You'll be pleased to know, Damon only carries the good stuff here, probably because the closets give unlimited supply and there's no monetary system but he's kinda a snob so he probably would anyway.

[She orders a couple of glasses of whiskey, she doesn't tend to be picky when it comes to alcohol, but few vampires are. it helps control the cravings and in an insular community like this keeping a low profile is important.

especially after the mess with what the mirror version of freya forced upon klaus.]

Oh, believe you me, I have already made myself aware of this. I was here earlier with an associate of mine. [ what? he and wynonna are morning drinkers. all hours of the day drinkers. except only one of them can't die of alcohol poisoning and it's not the heir. ]

And I approve of his snobbery. Much preferred over somethin' cut with turpentine. [ hush, doc. your saloon roots are showing. ]

You learn fast.

[rebekah can't judge. she often wakes up to klaus already drinking. especially these days what with caroline having her emotions off and all. it's been trying time, to say the least, but they can't die of alcohol poisoning either]

I think we can all agree on that, if you're going to drink its best not to drink something that'll make you regret it in the morning.

And seein' as I have had my fair share of regrets, I do not intend to make more — certainly not by way of what I'm drinking in order to forget all about 'em.

[ so many regrets. so many. ]

I think most people here have their share of regrets, so at least you're in good company.

[in her experience Wonderland tends to like people who were damaged and made mistakes.]

So it would seem.

[ he raises his tumbler in toast to her. ]

Cheers.

[She downs her glass after clinking it with his, it's not like this little will effect her much.]

So what do you still have questions about, I figured I would skip the song and dance you may have heard a few times already

I appreciate that. I realize folks are only tryin' to help, but hearing the same responses over and over does get rather repetitive. [ not to mention, annoying. but better an abundance of answers than none at all. ]

The people here. What're they like?

Like anywhere, there's a mixed bag. Some people are good people and good companies and others are complete assholes. Nobody's boring, that much Wonderland seems to be set on, it brings in a lot of interesting people.

And you, what would you classify yourself as? Good company or complete asshole? Have to say, doesn't quite seem like you'd fit into the latter category.

[ doc, stop. "charm the hell out of 'em" may be your default, but flirting with an original vampire is not a good idea. ]

[Rebekah is amused by that, a playful grin tugging at her lips.]

If you knew me better, you might think differently. [for all that rebekah can be nice and charming she can also be petty and mean, and has a nasty, nasty temper.]

I'd say I'm a mixture of the two, though I like to think more good company than asshole.

Aren't we all.

[ because doc could be a downright asshole when he wanted to be. ]

And I could say much the same in regards to myself.

Well, from what I can see, you don't seem like much of an asshole. [but judgement in men has never been exactly rebekah's strong suit.]

Appearances can be very deceiving, Miss Rebekah.

[ doc pls. ]

Oh, don't I know it. [her own included, of course.] And please, just Rebekah is fine.

[ there's a joke here somewhere. an original vampire and immortal gunslinger walk into a bar— ]

Rebekah it is. [ were he not trying to keep his identity on the down-low, this would be where he'd insist she call him doc. ]

You ever get tired of everythin' here bein' free?

Not particularly. [She shrugs her shoulders a little.] I suppose it's fairly priveleged to say this but my family never was wanting much -- we were rather affluent.

[well, not when they were human but once they were vampires and could just compel everyone...]

Affluent is another way of saying that you were loaded.

[ he raises his glass to her, tipping his head back to drain the contents. ]

Indeed it is. We were quite well off.

[like literally how many houses do they have in the world? no one knows. it's a lot.]
