Is someone waiting for you back home?

[An unusually thoughtful question from R, expressed without any of the stops and starts that often plague his speech. He's getting 'better' every day, and he even flushes slightly pink on the video as he asks the question. It's blurted out like an impulse, followed by a grimace and a thinning of lips, as if he would take the words back if he could.

But they're out, now, and R knows very well that once something is done, then it's done. Might as well push on with it.
]

I mean--... I know nobody really knows we're gone. I've just... been thinking a lot about my girlfriend.

[He's sure he isn't the only one who has someone they love back home. Someone that they're waiting for.]

[Eleanor isn't...great about being vulnerable as it is. But it's even worse knowing how many people she's about to open up to. So she takes a deep breath before she actually speaks, letting it out in a slow sigh. And gives the most forced smile ever.]

So...hi. I uh. I was gone, for a bit. Went back to my world and stuff happened and now I'm here again. And it kind of means my memory is all over the place, because, surprise, Michael reset my memory again while I was back there. And I'm kind of...having a hard time. I can't even remember which room was mine.

[Eugh, that was so honest and sincere. She closes her eyes, as if it doesn't count if she isn't looking. Honestly it doesn't work at all, and she stares into the camera again, expression tight.]


Just. What do you guys do to like...ignore how fucked up the inside of your head is? Fuck, nobody else is probably dealing with this. My point is I need a distraction, or maybe a head injury. Suggestions welcome. So. Bye, I guess.

[She scowls, annoyed at how that fell apart at the end, but. Fuck, she tried, right?]

Hello, all.

[Mazikeen looks unusually happy, which is never a good thing. She’s smiling like the cat who caught the world’s tastiest canary as she lounges against the bar in Deux Lux.]

Ah, isn’t it nice to have a taste of home? This one’s on me. Hell sweet Hell. I’d apologize for how horrible and scarring I’m sure it is for some of you, but the thing is?

[She leans forward, eyes glittering maliciously.]

Hell only exists to punish the wicked. If you’re suffering, it’s only what you think you deserve.

[She gives another smile, tossing her head back.]

Have fun. I know I will.

[ When the camera flickers on, Penny gives a little smile and wave at first, then pulls back so a small Christmas tree is visible in the background. ] Uh, hey Wonderland...ians? So, Christmas is just a few weeks away. Or - I'm guessing a lot of people here celebrate things other than Christmas? If you do, what do you celebrate, if...anything?

[ She grabs a cookie from a plate out of view of the camera, swallowing a small bite, but for a flicker of a second, it's clear this cookie is coated with a thick layer of frosting and sprinkles. ] This is my first year flying solo for the holidays, and I have to admit that I really have this decorating thing down. [ She pans the camera a little, showing off her little tree and some garland and lights she's strung up. ] Also, because it's the holidays, I love the non-stop eggnog and cookies diet I've got going on. There are definite perks to not having your family around. [ She actually misses her family a lot, but she's trying not to really let herself feel that at all. ]

Also, for my own reference, does Wonderland tend to do anything especially weird around this time of year, like a "hey let's send off this year with a real bang" kind of thing? Just so I know what to expect.

[ When Claire had first begun to instruct him on using this device, he wanted nothing to do with it, finding no purpose in it. But then she’d patiently showed him how useful it could be as a means to communicate. Recognizing there would be times when they’re separated and something could happen, it does gradually sink in to Jamie that there is a point to this strange magical object.

The first few days with Claire, he can’t be bothered to think of anyone or anything but her. But as he heals and starts to feel better, he’s restless, and it occurs to him that he could perhaps get to know others here a bit better. And soon, hopefully, he’ll be released from bed rest. ]


I dinda think I’d put my hands on this...thing at all. It seemed a strange and useless tool, but my wife’s advised me of the error in my thinking. [ Are people truly listening to this? How odd. ]

When you find yourself still confined to bed rest long after it’s necessary - [ He says this pointedly and loudly, so Claire can hear him in the next room ] you start to become desperate. I’m told many of you here are fond of my wife, Claire Fraser. Perhaps - if ye’ve some sway over her - ye might speak to her on my behalf? Tell her that her husband is quite well and good now and willna do anything more than thank the Almighty for the blessing of fresh air again.

[ In between caring for her husband, Claire sends a message quickly to the network. ]

Effective immediately, I will not be maintaining hours at the clinic for the foreseeable future. If you need any assistance, you will be in good hands with Mikan and Liv. Thank you for understanding.

[ Good evening, Wonderland! Jessica's super perky and giggly. There's so much for her to be happy about! So now everyone gets to witness her trying to be a vlogger, because she is pointedly ignoring anything involving someone's dumb supernatural call out post. ]

There's so much romance floatin' around, I swear, and it's not even Valentine's Day. Not that I've ever known what it's like to be with someone 'round then, but whatever. [ She waves that off. ] People're gettin' married, it's sweater weather and time for cuddlin'... [ She sighs happily. ] It got me wantin' to read somethin' warm and happy for once.

[ She needed something to distract her from her burning desire for vengeance, okay? ]

But okay, so, I just started this series I've always being dyin' to read. Like, it didn't even occur to me that I could do it here! And now I can and it's so good.

[ Jessica's clutching the first book of said mystery series in her hands, the top of it just barely visible on screen. It's like she had to hug it a little to make her point. This shit's the best thing since sliced bread! ]

I know not everybody's from the same world, but somebody's bound to know about it, right? And I bet at least one person's read it, 'cause it's so popular. Like, it's a movie!

[ And so, the lion finally reveals to the lambs what book she means... ]

So, anybody read Twilight? I wanna talk with you all about it!

[ Yes. She is dead serious. ]

[It looks like he's forgotten he put the video on, since it isn't directed at his face, but rather at half of one shoulder and a corner of the room he occupies on the first floor. There's a record player in view, though it isn't playing any music.

After the Dormouse's 'announcement', he has a small concern which he announces with a small grimace that comes into frame as he jostles the phone.

[NOTE: I e n c o u r a g e you guys to talk to each other on this post. Not just to Kol. It's the kind of thing that could really spawn some good conversations so feel free to threadjack. 100% okay on my end, always, no need to ask.]



[Kol has thought on it a lot, but this seemed the simplest way to get to the masses. He felt video responses would get too convoluted and messy, so text was the easiest avenue for his purposes. Plus, it would make it a hell of a lot easier for him to keep up with his own notes of things that way, too.

He's also still coming off of trying to deal with the fact that he went through his first fully-immersive Wonderland Event, complete with what more or less amounts to a very intricate level of compulsion in his mind. Re-written memories, set to act out a part someone else decided he should play. He is not particularly fond of being on the opposite end of that little trick, and the only silver lining in was that it didn't last very long.

But he has other things brewing in the back of his mind about that, and to eventually attempt to accomplish that? He needs to know what kind of powers, magic, and other abilities may be at work, here.]


I know that this place is made up of a little bit of everyone and everything all thrown into someone's toybox for their own fun. Or, that's bloody well what it feels like, at any rate. But because it's such a mix, I find myself curious about who's out there, and what they can do.

Rumor has it, my family's sort of known in these halls, so I don't s'pose I'll be surprising anyone who knew my other siblings before they were popped back home, in owning up to being a vampire. One of the first, back where I'm from, actually.

Which brings me to my next point: Granted, I know it isn't for everyone, and not everyone does it, but there's this really strange sort of almost blanket acceptance of people here that I don't think you find in very many places. You have all these supernaturals and powered people mixing with humans and I don't even know what else. And it's just a thing, another fact of life. People can live here and be what they are, be public about it even, and it doesn't really matter. At least, that's what I've gotten out of my time here.

I imagine at least a good handful of you probably knew what I was when I got here, knew my family's story, or at least pieces of it, but as far as I know, no one's judged me. Certainly, no one's coming running at me with a stake or made threats to find ways to contain me for little more than being what I am.

You just don't have that in most places. People are so judgmental and quick to hate what they don't understand. Me, personally? I love to learn.

Which is why I'm here. No one's obligated to answer, but if you're up for the discussion, tell me. Who are you? What can you do? Not limited to folks of supernatural or powered persuasions, either. I'm interested in hearing anyone's skills.

And on a more personal note? I'm calling out to any witches who may be interested in chatting. You could say I'm a bit of a fan of magic.

[The message sent is obviously coming from somewhere outside, trees from the forest visible in the background and sunlight filtered through the leafy canopy above casts light and shadows over the woman using the device. The view is shaky for a moment before see sets it down, balanced atop and sinks down to sit on the ground before it.

Her hair is a mess of curls and there's dark shadows beneath her eyes as if she hasn't slept. She gives a small wave, and when she speaks she has an accent, Louisiana bayou based.]


Hi all. The name's Misty. Misty Day if that means anything to anyone? Anyway, I'm trying to figure out a few things and hope someone can help. I read all those papers and things when I woke up here a couple of days ago. Is it waking up? I had closed my eyes real tight and was screaming and then I was here screaming into the forest.

I get, kinda, where I am, but how? Or even why? I mean, maybe no one knows but I've been trying for...

[She pauses, head tilting back and her eyes closing tight as her mind replays the torture, the death, the cycle repeating so many times that she tried counting them and lost count until she's not even sure anymore.

When her eyes open, they're bright and red tinged.]


It's been months I've been trapped there and I wasn't even sure I had a body left but... This is real, isn't it? Not another way for Hell to torture me? Us? We're real, right?

[Feel free to stumble upon her in the woods or respond to this message.]
