entry 001 - into wonderland [video]
{{ shallow breathing can be heard as the camera clicks on, first filming the palm of the mans hand, then finally flipping over to face him. his lefthand runs slowly over the front of his face, eyebrows pulled inward as he stares down at the strange little machine, hearing odd noises comingout from it. }}
H...Hello? Is there...anyone around here?
{{ his gaze never quite stays fixated on the camera, looking all about him, eyes darting to the walls and the windows, as if expecting them to disappear at a moments notice. }}
My name is...Daniel. I need help finding someone...I don't...quite know where I am.

[ ooc; still working on icons, ah ha, taking a bit more time than I expected... but look, you still have this nice default one to look at! and that's pretty swell, isn't it? ]

muncest is awesomesome very helpful person heard the name Alexander and decided to point Daniel to Alex's room. But the meeting was brief and the door remained locked, so though there's a vague familiarity here, Alex can't say for sure that this isn't some other random old-fashioned-talking dude. It's not like people from the past are unheard of in Wonderland.Anyway, it's that flicker of questionable recognition which has Alex paying attention to what's otherwise a pretty typical new arrival. No offence, Dan. Alex is just a bit jaded to people popping in and out by now. ]
It's called Wonderland. You'll be stuck here for a while.
[ The coffee-sip of one who has seen this all before. ]

{{ the word "stuck" stood out to him, causing his heart to resume it's fast, rhythmic pace. }}
Stuck? There's no...doorways or anything?
{{ he hadn't ventured very far. in fact, after he had got out of the attic, he hadn't gone anywhere else. there was something reassuring about being out of the attic, and in the light, in a hallway that seemed vaguely safe. }}

You can get out of the building. [ Which he says as if that should have been obvious. ] You just can't get any further than the grounds. People've died trying to get out.
[ He doesn't bother commenting on the Alice in Wonderland thing, since 'don't drown yourself trying to cross the ocean' is probably much more practical advice than 'yeah there's some stuff here that's like some other stuff that's in a movie'. ]

D...Died? Were they... Were they murdered? Why did they die?
{{ he assumes someone must be enforcing this no-leavibg rule.}}

[ He puts down the coffee mug, and backtracks through the conversation a bit for the sake of a better explanation. ]
There's magic or something stopping anyone from leaving. If you don't believe in magic, don't bother telling me, I don't care. You'll see it in action. [ Here, have a checklist of examples. ] You can't leave. Unless you vanish back to your world, but you don't get to choose that. You can open a closet thinking of something and it'll probably have it in there. If you die you'll come back to life the first few times. And sometimes Wonderland changes to mess with you.
[ Coffee contemplation. ] And people here are from different universes. [ Weird how that's become one of the less notable things about Wonderland, at least on a day to day basis. ]

{{ he stops, trying to wrap his head around the idea. }}
All of this certainly does seem like something that would come out of a storybook. Dying and coming back to life...and different universes? Like angels and demons? Or ghosts?
