[Kayo appears on camera, holding a rat in her hands at quite possibly the worst time anyone has ever held a rat in their hands. In her defense, he's a little white rat that doesn't appear to resemble the ones that are running around melting things.

She leans in and holds he right up to the camera, and he sniffs it curiously.
]

This is Shiro. He's my pet rat. He can't melt anything.

[Now that everyone's gotten a good look, she lowers her hands and lets him crawl into the front pocket of the pink hoodie she's wearing.]

I'm going to have him with me so the other rats don't hurt him. Don't kill him.

[She has a thousand-yard stare with that sentence, and an implied "or else" even though she's just a young girl with not nearly enough self-defense lessons under her belt to make that claim. She kills the feed with that and ends the PSA there.]

[wynonna does not use the network often, and as she does so she's sort of making an informal wedding announcement, though she does not mean to, as her actual focus will become apparent soon.]

So. Has anyone just had the closets go completely rogue on them? Because I was looking for things to help me plan a wedding and somehow I ended up with this instead:

[she moves the camera to show off the siamese kitten she dug out of the closet along with some toys she pulled out for it after because she felt bad for it. it seemed so bored and restless.]

It's so cute I'd feel bad sending it back so I guess I am a cat-mom now? Which means this little lady needs a name. I'm pretty sure she's a lady -- I didn't see any balls on her.

[always a class act, wynonna.

but she has another thing she wants to talk about, so she adjusts the filters for the second half of the post, making it locked away from one doc holliday
]

Okay, so if anyone is still paying attention to this, I have a question: it's my fiancé's birthday in a couple of weeks and I have no idea what to get him and when I asked for anon advice about him last year it worked out okay, so maybe owning up to needing the help this time will work too. Just what do you get for someone who is turning 167 anyway?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Kayo isn't someone who posts to the network often. She isn't very talkative, and she uses her words sparingly - certainly not the type of person to send a message if she doesn't have something to say, or something to ask.

On her arm, she's wearing the kinetic shield that Rick made for her - pink with kitten stickers, as promised. She's been trying to get used to the feel of it on her arm, the weight of it. Another person had offered to teach her how to make traps and defend herself that way, but they've since gone home.

So, it's time to ask around. The war isn't very far away.
]

What is the best way to protect yourself?

[That doesn't seem like enough though, so after a moment of hesitation she adds:]

...Or to protect someone else?

[She cuts the feed there, with no further context. Everyone probably knows why she's asking anyway.]

[Souji's sitting in the grass somewhere on the grounds. A fat gray dragon about the size of a schnauzer with very useless little wings is wandering around behind him. He's looking back at her before turning to the camera with a pensive expression.]

If this war turns out to be an actual war, what should we do about our pets?

[He figures they'll just have to be kept out of the way, but it worries him. He's had that dragon for over five years now, and she was a gift from someone important. He's sure everyone else with a pet feels the same way.]

Should we...I don't know, designate someone to look after them?

[Magnus is in the hallway of the the third floor in front of his room. There are some muffled noises coming from his bedroom, but he doesn't have the door open yet so show what the noises are.]

So that last event was fucking terrible. Sorry if I tried to murder anyone with an axe, I wasn't thinking super clearly by the end. Probably wasn't the best idea in the world to immediately go toward the giant thing that fell out of the sky.

Guess I'm a bit rusty fighting giant space monsters that try to destroy everything.

[He signs and runs a hand through his hair. He's been pretty quiet the last week or so, but he's been trying to shake off the last event and come to terms with his family being gone.]

I don't know if anyone's been lookin' for them, but just so you all know Taako, Lucretia and Lup all went home recently. All their stuff is gone so I don't think they're coming back. I guess it's just little ol' me from home now.

[Which...is a major bummer but at the same time he probably should be happy for his friends. They're not trapped in this other Wonderland anymore...though they still have the Hunger to deal with back home and half of their family is either dead or doesn't remember what's going on.]

[So that'll be fun for them.]

Though, I do have something going on right now that isn't a total bummer.

[Magnus opens the door to his room and slides in quickly as to not let out...the hoard of dogs that now resides in his room. They're all very happy to see him as Magnus pans the camera around so the viewers can see his new batch of seven dogs. One for each family member he is missing!]

These guys just showed up and I'm gonna keep them! I haven't come up with names for them all, but I'll figure that out soon! So if anyone else has a dog and wants seven new dog best friends or if you just wanna pet a bunch of dogs at once, hit me up!

Greetings. [ Inhale, exhale. They still have time. ] For those of you I've yet to meet, my name is Robyn Cousland, one of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden. You don't have to know anything about the Order, but know that I have... some experience in leading others, and a great amount of exposure to war.

[ Between Ferelden's civil war and the Blight... it was a lot, she thinks. ]

I know that everyone here has their own strengths to share with others, so I thought that I might make an offer of my own. Since diplomacy has failed us, we must be ready for battle. I have experience creating traps, some basic poisons, and, perhaps most importantly, healing potions and poultices. I am a practiced archer, and I fight with my mabari - a war hound - at my side. If any of these things would be useful to you, I would be happy to give lessons for whichever of the above you would like to learn.

[ Her jaw is tight, her expression strained. The Warden sighs, dropping her gaze. ]

It sounds a bit - bleak, really, but I wanted to add that... you may want to think about the people and things most important to you, and the lengths to which you'd go to protect them. There may come a time when you have to place yourself in harm's way to keep them safe, and it's easier to be ready before that time comes.

[ Speaking from experience? Definitely. ]

[It's late in the evening and the feed is giving a low level view across the lake. For a moment or two, it's totally still. Nothing is happening, as though the device were switched on by mistake.

Then, Satoru breaks the surface of the water, thrashing like he's drowning. It's a moment before he gets himself under control enough to drag himself out of the water, and even then, his movements are uncoordinated. He's visibly shaking with cold, as though it weren't a perfectly fine spring evening.]


Th-this is...

[He doesn't finish his statement, in part because his teeth are chattering too hard, and partly because it's obvious that he's back in Wonderland. He stares around himself for a moment before spotting the device, and when he grabs it, it shakes in his hands.]

Is K-k-kayo still h-here? She...she is, right?

[At least he's got it together enough to remember that, if he remembers this place, he probably wasn't gone for long.

He tries several times to get to his feet before he manages it. Then he starts to stumble toward the Mansion. He's probably suffering from hypothermia, he thinks, so getting inside and getting warmed up again is vital.]

[When the broadcast starts, the phone is completely covered in darkness, yet a child's voice can be heard.]

Um... hello? Can anyone hear me?

... Wait, hang on.

[They adjust their hold on the phone so that their long sleeves are not covering the screen or muffling their voice, and suddenly the child comes into view, bright yellow eyes blinking curiously at the screen.]

Is that better? I don't really know if I'm using this phone correctly or not. I tried to call my Mama at home, but it doesn't seem to be working. I know it's the right number too, 'cause Mama made sure I had it memorized before I started going out to help in the fields or play farther away from the house.

But I guess maybe it doesn't work because this is still a different world than home...

[There's a pause as the child frowns for a moment, before they speak again.]

Oh, right: I'm Niko! I should have asked before coming into the house or using this phone I found, but I hope it's okay for me to be here, because I'm not sure where else I should go right now. Also, you can see the sun here! It's really pretty...

[Niko smiles at this before they suddenly seem concerned again.]

Am I talking too much? Sorry, I'll stop now if I'm bothering you. I just wanted to let someone know we were here... and um, whether or not it would be okay to get some food from the kitchen? I'm kind of hungry and some snacks I found in a closet are starting to go stale.

[It's Mae, and she's up on the roof admiring the sunset, kicking her feet out over the edge.]

So it's December now, right? I mean, like. Calendars around here are weird, but I'm pretty sure it's December.

[She leans back and looks contemplative for a moment before continuing.]

So do we, like, do a Secret Santa thing around here or anything? Or a white elephant exchange or something? Is Christmas or...I mean like, any wintery holidays at all, is that a thing? Cause if not, maybe we should. Some kind of group gift thing. The last two months kinda just really sucked, event-wise.

I dunno, I just feel like people need cheering up, and 'tis the season, or whatever.

[Magnus turns on his device and before he shows himself he pans over a table (one that looks very well carved though not entirely finished yet) that is covered by many carved wooden ducks. As it pans across the room to show off the ducks, all of his carpentry tools can be seen scattered about and the room is absolutely covered in sawdust.]

[He turns the camera back toward himself, looking like he hasn't gotten a lot of sleep over the last few days since the event has ended. Though you know what he's gotten a lot of?]

[Duck carving.]

So I may have started stress carving once I got access back to my tools. Anyone want a wood duck? They're kinda my specialty.

Also, if anyone else noticed a broken table in the library from this weekend, I'm working on replacing it with a new one since I may have broken one of them during the event. Though the one I'm making is gonna be a lot sturdier than the last, so really I did everyone a favor by breaking that table.

[Because that's the important part to focus on. Not the fact that he broke it in the first place and certainly not why he broke the table...]

Anyway, I'm on the third floor if anyone is interested.

Two years ago, the Red Queen used the Vorpal Shield to trap both herself and the Jabberwocky within the Core. Now she is free, thanks to a team that consisted of myself, Shaun Mason, Tim W., Jay M., and Alphys.

[There is a photograph of the Red Queen, who is smiling. The door behind her is closed, but light leaks out around the edges. Tim is in front of her, supported on either side by Shaun and Jay. Alphys is to the side, clutching a robot to her chest.]

Like many Wonderland residents, we had received items from "RQ," who is speculated by many to be the Red Queen. Jay received was a map to the Core. We devised a plan to follow the map and allow Alphys a chance to study it in person. She has been researching the Core from the Real side and comparing it to similar technology in her home world.

We crossed to the Mirror Side with the help of Kayo Hinazuki, Satoru Fujinuma, and Minato Arisato, who then split off to do their own exploring. We found the door with little trouble or interference from Mirrors. Exposure to the Core causes sickness and memory loss, so we decided only one of us would open the door. Tim was chosen through random selection. Alphys piloted a remote-controlled robot to gather what data she could. She is currently still analyzing her findings.

The door was only open for seconds, just long enough for the Red Queen to come through. She intercepted Tim's memory and returned it to him. When asked whether the Jabberwock had escaped as well, the Red Queen responded, "I will tell you that I am all that has emerged," though she did not seem confident it would remain trapped forever. She then opened a portal for us to the Real Side.

She would not answer any more questions, leaving the status of the Vorpal Shield uncertain. She also would not confirm or deny if she is the "RQ" who handed out all these items. It seems unlikely it could have been anyone else, but how she could have done so from the confines of the Core is a mystery.

[ The device is easy enough to figure out. Her dad used to have a Palm Pilot like this. She doesn't have to be any sort of engineer to understand how to make a post.

Oh! And there she is, looking back at herself as she records her message. It's like FaceTime! This really is easy-peasy. ]


Hi! [ She waves cheerfully to the network and smiles brightly. ] I'm Emily Locke. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that President Luthor planted another wormhole somewhere in Charm City that I got sucked into somehow. I mean, I don't remember it happening, but he put the last wormhole in Charm City, too, so it's not completely impossible, you know?

Jackie, Teddy, Ron, Wendy? If you guys are here, let me know. I promise to keep hugs to a minimum. Except with you, Ron! I know how much you like hugs! And Van, too. If you're here, let me know.

[ She runs over a checklist of things she should say, her eyes narrowing as her head tilts in thought. And... nope! Her name, check. Looking for her friends, check. ]

One last thing! How great is it that the wormhole sucked us into Wonderland?

[Rick is in his lab, and there are two huge, glowing tears in the world intersecting in midair behind him. Rick looks--different. He's kind of see through. He's kind of floating. He's kind of a ghost. He's even phasing through his desk to drive the point home.]

[He looks pretty dang miffed about this situation, but the ghost thing might be a bit less noticeable than the fact that Rick's entire room is filled to the brim with puppies. Puppies of all shapes and sizes, and there's at least twenty in sight and the occasional tail or nose passing across the screen indicates that there's a lot more in the room than just that.]

[Rick's door is also open. Anyone on the third floor might hear a whooooole lot of barking. There's something like seventy puppies wandering up and down the hallway.]

[Rick gives an exasperated sigh.]


So obviously don't touch the rips in space, but a-also don't bother trying to analyze them from a distance or send in probes or wh-whatever because that sets them off too.

[Ghost Rick takes a swig from his ghost flask.]

Fuck this, there's a-already like twe-UURRL-lve other Ghost Ricks and I'm not a fucking conformist.

[A puppy walks right through his middle and starts sniffing at the camera, promptly knocking it over. The puppy then picks the phone up in its teeth and runs away.]

[All that's heard from Rick is a distant "god damn it."]

[Given the sheer volume of network posts in the last few days, Satoru hadn't wanted to clog things up further. But he's finally figured out the compass he received and it seems like...something people should know about.

When he starts the feed, he's standing outside, though it's difficult to tell where he is exactly. Kayo is behind him, playing idly with a Rubik's Cube while she waits for him. A few glowing rips can be seen in the vicinity, but they're staying away from them like the smart kids they are.]


I got a compass. [Just going to throw that out there first.] But it didn't point north. I followed it to where it did point and found this.

[He pans the camera around to show a hole in the ground. He turns it back toward himself after a moment. He has no idea what it is he's found, but he has a feeling it matters, and so not knowing is kind of irritating him.]

This means something, right?

[The feed begins. Satoru carefully centers himself in the frame before sitting back. He's outside in the grass next to the lake, with the device propped up against a tree.]

I think I have the gist of things. [He read the pamphlet, which was pretty helpful as a crash course.] But there are still some things I'm confused about.

[His frustration is apparent in a brief pause that follows that admission, however.]

Asking questions won't change the situation, but...can someone explain the part about time not moving?

[Because that is relevant to his interests.]

[Kayo seems a little more unsure. She’s standing just behind Satoru and trying not to draw much attention to herself. Making any kind of announcement to a wide group of people is uncomfortable, and it’s easier to just let him take the lead, if he wants to.]

...Isn’t that impossible?

[She’s quiet, but also not very impressed by the supposed magicalness of the world around them. Life isn’t a storybook and people don’t get whisked away to worlds where time doesn’t exist. It sounds kind of stupid to believe something like that just because someone put it in a professional-looking pamphlet.]
