[Steven finds himself quite literally dropped back into Wonderland.

Specifically, he falls into a patch of flowers in the garden. He quickly panics as he notices the flowers he's inadvertantly crushed.]


Whoops! I- I got this! [With that, he starts to... kiss each crushed flower individually. But with each kiss, there's a sparkling effect, and the flower is restored back to perfect condition.

After a few of those, he freezes up as it finally hits him.]


...Wonderland. I'm back in Wonderland!

[One can find him while he's fixing up those flowers in the garden, or while he's on his way back to the mansion in search of his friends.]

[Video]

[And eventually he'll make contact over the network. He beams at the video feed and speaks.]

Hello, Wonderland? This is Steven... Steven Universe! Remember me? Because I sure remember you! [A confused blink.] Am I supposed to remember you? ...Well, I do anyway! I guess I'm here again. It's... kinda been a few years for me back home, since the time that I was last here. Anyone know how long I've been gone in Wonderland time? What's been happening - solve any more mysteries? How... has everyone been doing, in general? I'm - okay, I wish I was back home, but it's still nice to be here!

[It must have been a difficult week without everyone's favorite loud-mouthed gem around to be an egomaniac at you. Golly, how much have you suffered outside of her presence, but that's okay. She's here now!

And boasting a new look.]


Oh my stars! So. We had an event last week and it was great! I was the savior of Homeworld and practically the new leader of the Crystal Gems, but, of course, it ended, and I was back to my still amazing, but ultimately less heroic self.

[She pauses.] But before I could even be disappointed, I went back home! And it's all true. I am the Savior of Homeworld! For once, Wonderland actually got something right!

[This is an important announcement she just had to make, though underneath all of that, maybe there's something valuable- maybe Wonderland can predict the future!

Either way, she calms down.]
Anyway, I'm sure I was missed terribly. Don't worry I'm back now, and better than ever! [ahem] ... What'd I miss?

[Souji is--surprise!--in the diner. Tohru's doing stuff in the background like the busy bee she is, but he's taking a minute to address the network.]

Tohru and I were talking recently and we realized it's almost time for Bon. It's a festival in Japan where we welcome our dead ancestors back home for a couple days, and then see them off again. So it's all about family.

[He shifts his weight, smiling a little.]

Since most of us here are away from our families, we thought it would be fun to celebrate. Tohru and I will set everything up for the fourteenth for everyone to come and make lanterns with us. Then we'll send them down the river.

[A beat.]

Of course, we'll bring food, too.

[What would the two of them ever be doing if it wasn't feeding people?]

[The device comes on to a litany of swear words, many of which involving bodily things that can't actually be done. One hopes.

Then a face comes into focus wearing a dark suit and midnight black shades, and waving about a gun with his free hand.]


Are you fucking kidding me, Wonderland? Seriously? What the fuck?

[He sighs, shaking his head as Seth tries to calm himself, looking down and then back up.]

Fine. I'm back. I'll assume Richie and Kate aren't. What about Maggie? Lucifer? Chloe? Any of you hearing this? I'm in Chloe's favorite spot in the caves and about to start the hike back. I'm cranky and I'm hungry and I need a fucking beer.

[Wonderland. Is this for fucking real? Except he's most angry about the fact he had forgotten. Forgotten Maggie and Chloe and his life here. And that has him angriest of all.]

Um, hi, what the actual fuck is going on??

[Gabby lives a pretty weird life. But then, suddenly waking up in a place that is distinctly not New York City and also suddenly being a pony is a whole new level of weird.]

I feel like this is the part where I point out my big sister is Wolverine and she's gonna kick everyone's butt if I'm not home for dinner. So... maybe show me where the exit is? And also, like, how to get back my opposable thumbs cause I miss them.

[Louis has always been very good at understanding what people need. He understands what makes them tick and when things are getting bad. Back home, he was always the one to step up and try and break the tension as soon as he felt it rising. In survival situations, being on guard was important, being ready for anything- it's how they stayed alive. But it was also important to let that go, or the fear and anger would consume them. There was no point being alive if you weren't living at the same time.

As such, he turns on the feed with his usual wide smile, the bowling alley in the background. He's been taking care of it while Juliet deals with her own shit. It seems the perfect backdrop, all things considered- a relic of a time when people could just relax for an evening with their friends. He shuffles his pack of cards- still dirty and dog-eared but much loved all the same. His own personal weapon against the encroaching darkness.
]

Soooooooooo. That's been a couple of weeks, right? I mean, shit's been going down pretty damn fast. What with the whole mass death and the queen bullshit and now this dream monster? Yeesh. We get any more stress like this and everyone's gonna explode like a shaken bottle of soda.

[He raises his cards to the screen.]

Which is why we need something to release a little tension, y'know, for our mental health and everything. So I'm declaring the bowling alley an Offical Stress Free zone, and tonight a night of forgetting all of that other bullshit - even if it's only for a couple of hours.

So how about a game of Truth or Dare: Louis Edition? We each draw a card, highest gets to ask, lowest has to answer. You can come play in the bowling alley- heck if we get a group of us here even better. Or you can do it over the network, if you're not feeling social. What do you say? I think we could all use a little time to cut loose.

[Alice is right. The Red Queen can't just leave people hanging like that.

After screaming into his pillow out of frustration, he's finally decided to just post to the network. No anon this time. Just angry texts.]


YOU KNOW WHAT

It's obvious the RQ is too busy to tell us what she's doing about this mess, and we can't actually trust her to be on our side if she's gonna run off like that, so I say we start preparing for the worst ourselves.

I know we have a bunch of storage rooms and a clinic, but does anyone have ideas for how to keep that thing from getting into our dreams or something? And no, I don't mean everyone put tinfoil on our heads! Unless, of course, you live in a world where that actually works. And do we still have enough fighters and superheroes for a militia?

Seriously! ANY IDEAS WILL HELP.

[Georgia’s been scarce lately. Between her office getting a giant hole in it thanks to Entrapta and Peridot’s experiments and both Shaun and herself dying in a recent event… she’s not in a great place. But she can’t allow herself to sulk for too long. She doesn’t like it, and it won’t get them anywhere.

Fortunately, there’s one mystery she has an actual way to answer. Hopefully. She’s standing on the far side of the lake, holding a white rose. It looks very delicate next to the extreme amounts of body armor she’s wearing. Leather jacket with armored joints, jeans woven with kevlar, a freaking helmet... she’s ready for war.

Shaun, who usually has to be argued and ordered and bribed into body armor, is similarly attired. Armored jacket, jeans, helmet, guns in holsters on each of his hips… and a rocket launcher aimed at the rose in George's hand.

Georgia adjusts her sunglasses before she speaks.]


As many of you know, I’ve been investigating the White Queen’s initial death for a very long time. She gave me a way to contact her in case of emergencies. I haven’t had cause to use it, but in light of recent events…. [She grimaces.] It seems prudent to try.

Have I ever mentioned that I love your interview style, George? You just have a way of putting your subjects a ease. [Shaun gives her a sunny smile as he shifts the rocket launcher on his shoulder. He's real glad not to be dead anymore.]

[She shoots him a glare, then continues.] As you’ll notice, we’re taking every precaution. We’re as far from the Mansion as we can get. We’re armed. I think Shaun’s actually hoping for the worst case scenario so he can test out his new girlfriend. I can’t guarantee it’ll be enough, but if the Jabberwock is back we’re fucked anyway so… [She shrugs.] Better to know now.

I'm ready when you are.

[Georgia nods sharply. Then, very carefully, she tugs off one of the petals and lets it float to the ground.

For a moment, nothing happens. Then something falls on Georgia’s head, almost imperceptible through the helmet. She frowns and looks up.]


That’s weird. Is it… raining?

[The next one falls directly on her face. At this point? It’s clearly not water. It’s a small and very cranky looking lizard. And it’s not alone. Falling from the sky in the area directly surrounding her and Georgia are hundreds of tiny lizards. Georgia ducks, covering her face.]

What the fuck?

WHY ARE THERE LIZARDS EVERYWHERE? [The rocket launcher will not be helpful in this situation. Shaun sets it down but then… he's at a loss. What the fuck are they supposed to do about all these lizards?

Georgia charges forward towards the camera, shielding her face with her hand.]


Safe to say things are not fine and dandy with the White Queen. Also safe to say I have even less idea what the fuck is going on than earlier. [She glances behind at Shaun, then back to the camera.] ...stand by for more information.

[End feed. But not quite end of the lizard rain, which lasts a little longer before petering out. Wonderful.]

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.]

Um, has anyone pointed out the massive Jabberwocky in the room?

[Dipper is standing in the middle of Angel Investigation, staring at the camera wild-eyed. The office has always had the odd mystery board or two standing around, but Dipper’s gone a little nuts lately. There are boards with string and pieces of paper lined up on all sides of him, strings crisscrossing and connecting each board with each other and… yeah it’s definitely a fire hazard. But working on that is so much better than actually thinking about the entire family except Mabel dying just before the Jabberwocky escaped. Dipper starts to pace.]

Or Jabberwock. Still not clear on the spelling. What I am clear about is that this is really bad, guys. And what the heck happened to the White Queen? Did the Jabberwock-slash-y eat her? Did she turn to dust? Did she not come back with the rest of us?

[He clutches his hat with one hand, waving the other vigorously.]

So many questions!

[He exhales and straightens.]

Okay. It’s okay. I also have resources. If you’re new, or just want to get brushed up on the basics? Mabel and I made a guide. Needs to be updated with some of the new people, but it’s mostly pretty up to date.

[Attached to the post: Dipper and Mabel’s Guide to Wonderland.]

And we’ve got a bunch of other stuff here at Angel’s Investigations if you want to come down! If anyone has answers or theories or anything please, please bring them over.

[He slowly turns around, staring at his tangled web of mystery boards.]

We need all the help we can get.

[ It takes a moment for the image to come into focus, as Nora tries to remind herself just how far away to hold the camera on the device to record this type of message, which the technology in her own world didn't allow for. Eventually, a woman with red curls wearing a uniform akin to those of the revolutionary war is visible on the screen. ]

Not gonna lie, I never expected to see this place again.

[ There's a fondness in her tone - her time at the mansion had been one of the better parts of her life since thawing out - but her irritation is clear too. She doesn't have any more time to waste here now that she has a concrete lead to finding her son. ]

I'm guessing most of the people I knew here have moved on back home, so introductions are in order. Nora Endicott, General of the Minutemen. I'm not sure how long I've been away, but I'd be grateful for any information you can give me on the current state of affairs. There's no such thing as being too prepared, after all.

[ She's about to turn the feed off, but instead she hesitates, her expression softening as she allows herself to show a little of the emotion, not to mention the fleeting hope, that she has at being back here. ]

...Sam? Are you still here?

[ She shakes her head, sighing in irritation at herself. ]

Since when did I become such a sentimental idiot?

[ Steve hasn’t been sleeping well. Not surprising considering the events from home- but also the event warning from the Gryphon.

He’s up early- too early by anyone’s standards, taking a jog around the grounds to clear his head. That’s why he sees the ships hovering over the grounds. They don’t seem to be doing much of anything. Not yet, but it seems more than likely this event is going to be exactly what he fears.

He finishes his run and heads back to the mansion. He needs to warn everyone and most people should be awake by now.

And then the ships crash into the checkerboard hills and there’s no time to wait.
]

This event is from my world.

[ Sorry everyone. ]

The Gryphon said something or someone is coming. They are looking for two stones-

[ He falters here, the words he knows are not coming to him. They are on the tip of his tongue but he can’t remember the words. He doesn’t have time to worry right now so he just course corrects. ]

One is yellow and one is green. We need to find them before they do. Start searching anywhere you can. If anyone finds one or both of them contact me. We need to keep them safe.

The ships contain his army. They are relentless and there are hundreds of them. They will kill indiscriminately until the stones are found.

We are going to need fighters, if you can fight, if you can fire a weapon, if you have any kind of training or ability at all we need you.

If you have medical training of any kind or want to help the injured please contact Claire Frasier- she will need all the help she can get.

We need to barricade the mansion for as long as we can. Anyone with magic we could use you here, and anyone whose good at traps or snares or anything like that, if we can keep them from getting in we might be able to survive them.

Those who can’t fight, find a safe place and hunker down. Try to keep yourself barricaded in, if you get in trouble contact someone, contact me, I will get to you and I will get you out.

[ He takes a breath, his Captain America voice taking over. ]

I know not all of you know me, and so you’re wondering why you should trust me. But I’ve lived this, I fought this fight- and we lost.

We lost half my universe with the snap of two fingers.

We cannot let that happen here. If we snap out of existence- Wonderland has different rules, but this time we might not come back.

This may very well be the fight of our lives.

Eyes up, stay sharp. Good Luck.

[Alice, when she appears on camera, is about as amused as a wet cat - probably because she's absolutely soaking wet in the entrance hall. She's back in her royal adviser outfit, though it doesn't look quite so fancy when it's soaked through completely.]

What on EARTH is going on?! It almost never rains in Wonderland, and now it's storming?

[She tries to wring the water out of her hair, but it's not really doing much good.]

I was going to make my message outside, and I just appeared out there and got caught in the middle of whatever that is! I don't think it's an event? It can't be, because I was going to talk about one. What was it though...?

[She tries to think, tries to remember...but then she just groans.]

I don't even remember what I was going to say anymore! Ugh! This place is just so...BAD!

[Alice tries to shake some more water off herself, but then decides this message is just hopeless, and cuts it there.]

[It's roughly an hour after Entrapta's announcement that Peridot comes online with her own. By now the rain has started to fall heavily now, and people have had their chance to be angry. Hopefully, Entrapta's fielding some of that. Peridot offered, but... Well, she's glad she doesn't have to yell at everyone.

She's vacated the lab and returned to the barn/room she shares with Lapis. The window and door seem to have been barricaded, though whether that's for the weather or the possibility of an angry mob, we just don't know. In her hand, Peridot has Entrapta's tape recorder, while her own communicator is propped up a few feet away.]


As Entrapta has already informed you, we did contact the Core, and there were some... complications, but that doesn't change our results! Witness this.

[She hits play with a savage "nyeh!" sound and a horrific distorted, almost Zalgo-like sound comes out of it. It's difficult to catch everything because there's a constant loud droning of voices that blend together into nonsense, but occasionally responses can be heard. Under the din, Peridot's own voice is more clear with her questions.

"What is Wonderland's intended purpose and what controls it?"

"S-so what about the Residents? Where do they go when they're not needed? Can you set them free? Have any them actually been unmade? If you need everyone to be together, then what about them? Where do they fit in?"

"What about the Mirrors? Is it because we don't belong here, so you're trying to make something of ours that does belong? Are they part of us or are they part of you?"

By the last question, the voices have become a din that crackles the recording into static. For the most part, there's not much that can be heard from the Core itself except for a litany of voices and occasional words thrown together. TOGETHER, BALANCE, WELCOME HOME, ALWAYS, and WE'VE MISSED YOU seem clearer than others. It's honestly terrifying.]


As I have a perfect memory, I remember the Core's exact responses, though... it was just as hard to understand in person. Most of the answers were nonsense, but it seems to be incredibly focused on all of us being together. There's a moment early on where it starts singing. Here.

[She rewinds the tape until she reaches the beginning where the Core answers her first question, and while the sound is distorted and awful like a music box played underwater, when Peridot joins in to sing along, it becomes much more clear.] Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow...

See? There's a lot of things like that. [She shifts the recorder in her hands.] This is preliminary data, and we may not ever be able to speak to the Core again, but there's one thing I feel absolutely certain of.

[Her voice, as arrogant and proud as it had been, suddenly goes very grave]

I think Wonderland wants us to stay here.

[ooc: the relevant parts of the log the recorder is playing can be found here, though be warned, it is VERY difficult to make out a lot of it from a recording device that was affected heavily by the distortions.]

[ Brianna is sitting outside near the lake when she decides to play again, putting aside the book she was half-heartedly reading anyway. ]

We should play a game, maybe break up the day a little bit. It's called 'Would You Rather?' Basically, someone gives a scenario and you have to pick one or the other. No in between. You can explain your choice if you want, but we go back and forth until there's something so impossible to pick the other person gives up.

I'll even start.

[ She thinks for a moment, then looks back at the camera. ]

Would you rather know each time you're going to leave and come back when it comes to Wonderland, or would you rather it be a total surprise like it is now only you get to remember being here when you do leave?

I think I'd want to know when I was leaving. That way I could say goodbye, you know?

Anyway. Your turn.

Where the fuck is my brother?

[Behind her, there's a creepy teddy bear in a distinctive pink sweater and an odd robot. She grabs them, holding them in front of her, rage barely contained under her sunglasses.]

His stuff's still here, plus this bullshit, which definitely does not belong to either of us, so I'm assuming he's not gone for good. [He'd better not be gone for good. She'd burn Wonderland to the ground.] Who else is missing?

[She gives the weird robot a twisted smile, no amusement in it at all.]

You're supposed to fetch things. Can you fetch Shaun?

I dunno how this'll go coo-coo bananas yet, but right now it's just answering my questions super wisely. Kinda reminds me of the stuff we'd sell in the gift shop at the Shack. Here, watch!

[The network will hear Wirt before they properly see him, as he fusses a bit with the camera angle alone in his room.]

Oh, boy. Guess I'm really doing this...

[He finally stops touching it and pauses, hoping that looks okay (and it does). He really hates making public messages, but takes a deep breath and tries his best.]

Um, hi. I'm...Wirt. Has, uh. ...H-Has anyone actually figured out like, what this event is? Or what we're supposed to be doing? The Dormouse made it sound like we were going to be looking for something, but then Wonderland like...gave me a TV?

[He moves a little bit so everyone can see the portable TV on table behind him. It's bright green, and it has a triangle embedded on the top of it in lieu of any kind of logo.]

It came with instructions, which is kind of suspicious in its own weird way since it came from Wonderland, but it also talks about like, voiding warranties? I-I mean maybe that doesn't really matter since I didn't pay anything, but...what does it mean it's not responsible for psychological damage? D-Did anyone else get anything like this? What am I supposed to...do, exactly?

[Another pause, and then he sighs at his own sad little explanation.]

Normally I'd just ask Dipper, but I can't find him or Mabel anywhere. ...Has anyone seen them, by the way? Like, anywhere?

[That might be the real reason this is turning into a post. He checked all their usual haunts and came up with nothing. All of their stuff is still in their room, but they're nowhere to be found, and he's not really sure how a TV is supposed to help him with that.]

He goes to find Clem first (always, always first) trying to push back the panic that she could come from any point in time and that's a deeply concerning thought. After that, it's off to find Michonne, to touch base, an update on their shared world- however far apart they might be within it. And then, finally, he seeks out his friends, trying their rooms or their preferred haunts. Whoever it is he's going to see, they get a smile and a wave.]

[It's WAY easier to joke about this than relay the crap he's been through in the last couple weeks. No one wants to hear that, and he doesn't especially want to talk about it. He knows he's going to have to sift through it all eventually. Process it properly, but for now, he'd still rather avoid it all. Cover it up with a smile and a joke.]

It looks like Alice is up to something again. [Looking around.] It is nice to see the things warm up again, though. I suppose this is the time of year that children generally draw outside with chalk.

But having said that... [Is that a gaggle of cartoon dicks hopping by him right now? What?] People sure do have some strange imaginations. What sort of things has everyone seen or drawn so far?

[He's curious.]

Around the Mansion;

[It's been a while since Connor has really investigated much since being here. He hasn't really had anything that he needed to analyze until these chalk outlines showed up (before they become anyway). It was pretty clear that it was chalk, but maybe it was habit that made him swipe his finger over the chalk and lick it off of his finger.

Sidewalk Chalk
Gypsum, Calcium Sulfate
CaSO₄

Anyone nearby can witness Connor do his thing, curiously looking at all of the things that have either come alive already or haven't yet come to life just yet.]


Chalk Doodles;

[After spending some time to analyzing things, he decided to try to draw something; That was yet another thing that he hadn't actually bothered try. So now he's outside attempting to draw -- surprise -- a dog. Though his art isn't anything amazing, so it just turned out to be a very simplistic version on Sumo. Connor's own dog, Jericho, seems to be somewhat familiar with this chalk Sumo.

Anyone want to play with a chalk dog and a real dog?]

I've been thinkin'. [ Typically a dangerous thing for her to do. ] I feel like sometimes, vampires get a bad rap around here. Sometimes back home for me too, but...that's not the point. Point is, we're not all that bad, really!

[ Hear her out! Like, this definitely wasn't inspired by her guilt loop and how most of it involved her being a bloodthirsty bitchy bitch to her ex and ex's mom. Losing someone important to her wasn't worth the thrill of getting a little vengeance. ]

I know, totally hard to believe, right? But with more of my "kind" here, I don't want anyone gettin' all antsy and stuff. Not that it's happened. But it might.

[ She is most definitely not referring to a certain someone whose last name begins with an F and ends with an itz. There's probably a "fucking asshole" or two thrown in there for good measure, too. ]

So! [ She beams brightly. ] I figured I'd put together a little list to help clear the air some. Just keep in mind some of my fanged friends are weirder than others, okay?

[ After clearing her throat, she grabs her list and glances down at it to read. ]

One, just 'cause we like blood doesn't mean we're gonna go suckin' people dry. We ask permission or take donations.

[ ...Mostly true. ]

Two, we don't sleep in coffins. Like, seriously? Ugh. Why're so many movie vampires so goddamn weird? But I guess it's better than sleepin' under the floorboards like I used to have to back home. Yeah, don't ask.

Anyway, three. [ And now it's starting to get apparent that her list miiight not be super well thought out. Well, more apparent. ] We've got cool powers, but that doesn't mean we go abusin' 'em all the time. I mean, yeah, okay, I know it's obnoxious as fuck when I zip around all the time, but if you could run at like fifty miles an hour, you'd wanna do it all the time too, right? And sometimes it's fun to do stupid shit! It's--it's just cool.

[ There's a pause as she purses her lips awkwardly then gingerly puts her list down. She's begun to realize a lot of her examples boil down to LOOK WHAT I CAN DO. ]

Um. Well. I don't wanna hurt anyone. I like helpin' way more than bein' terrifyin'. [ Then, after a longer pause: ] That's all for now. Bye.

[ Thanks for listening to the unofficial vampire ambassador's TED talk. ]

Hey everyone, did you know you can use the closets as a washing machine?

It's true! I just threw some old stained clothes I had lying around into my closet and it spat them back out! Good as new! Figured some of the folks from Darkest Timeline Worlds or people who like rolling around in the mud could use that knowledge.


Meanwhile, around the mansion... )

[ The three sisters are each sitting on a rock somewhere in the gardens. The youngest, Elsie, is eating treacle and apparently doesn't care much about being there while Lacie is knitting a rainbow scarf.

It's Tillie, the oldest, who is fidgeting with her hands, and finally she can't help but speak to the device, for everyone to see and hear. ]


Alright, I suppose I must tell you all what I've done.


[ Lacie, ever helpful, glances at the camera and shakes her head. ]

No you don't! You don't have to say anything and no one would ever know.


I hit your beloved Alice in the face, Wonderland! During chess. You were all otherwise occupied.


[ Elsie shakes her head. ]

All I wanted was to give her flowers and play with the twins. But then we had to go.

[ Tillie's arms cross over her chest. ]

Yes, well, even though she was rude, I do still feel bad for it and I thought Wonderland ought to know. I feel horribly! Why would I feel so horrible for something well deserved?


Because sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you. And you shouldn't have hit Alice!! She used to be blind!

Not anymore, though. I can't wait until she hits you back. Then we'll see if she feels guilty!


[ The feed ends as Tillie huffs, turning her back on her sisters. ]

[Soos appears in the middle of the frame, smiling broadly at the camera.]

Uh, hi everybody. So, uh, I know Ms. O'Hara just opened her bowling alley and all, so this isn't-- like, there's no party or anything, but uh. A couple events ago, I sorta made a mini-arcade and I thought, like. Why not go big-mini. Or. Y'know, regular-sized.

[This isn't making sense.]

Uh, hang on, I'll just show you.

[Soos steps forward, grabbing the camera and turning so it faces the way he's going. He goes through a door and the camera adjusts to the sudden change in lighting. Where the hallway where he started the video was bright, in here there's a mix of darkness and bright neon. Everything is blacklit, and everything is loud. Ringing bells, electronic beeps and boops, voices beckoning you to ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE. Soos pans the camera, showing off all the machines and screens. And then he sets the camera up again and grins at it, giving two thumbs up.]

I call it LazArcaaaaaade! [He pulls two air horns out of seemingly nowhere and blows them in a suitably cool fashion.] Heh-heh. There's every game you've ever wanted to play, all kinds of prizes you can use the tickets on, and in the back? A laser tag arenaaaaaaa!

[Soos raises the roof. While blowing the air horns some more.]

So yeah! Uh, come and hang out, y'know? It'll be fun!

[He waves and reaches out to turn the camera off.]




---

[Soos is "working", which mostly means hanging out and playing whatever games he wants. He's pretty sure if he doesn't end up working at the Shack forever, running an arcade would be a nice second choice. The second he spots a new person, he waves and heads over, eager to show them to the game of their dreams.]

Hey! What're you into? Fighting games? Shooters? Racing? I got 'em all, dude. Let me point you in the right direction.

[Peridot seems to be broadcasting from… a barn, which if anyone has actually seen her and Lapis’s room makes total sense. She has a whiteboard behind her that has a lot of squiggles and equations that make perfect sense to her.]

Claude, hold the camera steady. [Offscreen, there is a meow. Claude is doing no such thing. The only reason the camera isn’t moving is because the kitten has not decided it’s something to play with yet. Peridot is still satisfied that she’s being heeded and clears her throat.]

Greetings, fellow prisoners of Wonderland. Some of you may be aware that since my arrival I have been seeking to understand the machinations of this place we’re trapped in. Some of you mistakenly believe this is merely a planetoid or a world composed entirely by magic with no other explanation, and you just accept that, which is exactly what the clods in charge what you to think!

But with the latest upset as of two months ago, it’s clear that my theories were right all along. This place you call Wonderland is merely a simulation, and our current bodies are highly detailed computer simulated projections, while our physical bodies are in stasis. I’ve adjusted my theories to allow the inclusion of magic into the nature of this place, but the overall theory remains true. Accompanying this broadcast is an account of some of my findings. I hope you’ll enlighten yourselves, allow yourselves to expand your thinking, and also thank Entrapta for her own growing research into the Core. It’s about time this matter was handled by true geniuses.

[Yeah. Anyway. She pauses dramatically and waits for the camera to turn off, presumably on Claude’s own power, which is asking a lot of a lazy kitten. After a few seconds of her standing there and sweating, she sighs, marches over, and turns it off herself.]

[ When the feed starts, the camera is at first completely obstructed by a pink shirt and fiddling hands. When the figure finally backs up, it is revealed to be Juliet, who has propped her device up in order to get a good view of what is behind her - a bowling alley! She centers herself, in frame from the waist up, holding a piece of paper that she references periodically in her speech that sounds similar to a used car sale commercial. ]

Hello, Wonderland! I'm Juliet O'Hara and if you're like me, you love bowling. If you aren't like me, it's probably because you've never been bowling, so you don't know you love it yet! Which is why I am here to bring Wonderland it's very first, you guessed it, bowling alley!

[ She gestures behind her with a flourish. ]

Welcome to O'Hara's Wacky Wonderous Wonderland Bowling Alley and Smoothie Bar. [ It's probably an indication that the name is too long because she just reads it off the paper in her hand. ] It's located in room 10 on the 10th floor, and that's a joke because 10-10 is the police code where I come from for "off duty," because you are never on duty at O'Hara's Wacky Wonderla- Wonderous... [ She glances at the paper before she huffs and throws her arms down at her sides. The name is just too long, Jules. ] At the WWW!

It offers state of the art, pro-level bowling lanes, and wardrobes so you can get any kind of bowling shoe or bowling ball you need. There's also a karaoke stage and, of course, a smoothie bar. I'll also offer personal bowling lessons to anyone interested because I'm amazing at bowling and you can be too!

Barring events, Friday will be a glow bowl and Saturday there's a karaoke contest. I'll be having the grand opening this Saturday and I'd love for everyone to come and feel free to use it whenever you're in the mood. Or if you want to throw a party. Or, you know, whatever because it's fun. If you want to work at the smoothie bar or host karaoke just let me know.

[ She goes back to referencing the crumpled paper in her hand. ] I hope you all are ready to have a wonderous Wonderland time!

[ Juliet smiles and stands there for a moment. After a long, drawn out 30 seconds or so, her smile starts to look strained and her eyes dart to the side. Then they widen and she comes towards the device again, fumbling with it, and the frame turns back into a view of just her bright pink shirt. ]

Keep forgetting I gotta turn this off...

[ The feed finally ends. ]
