[ To say that Derek doesn't really post to the network would be a half-truth. He replies to people on it, follows the entries others post to it, but just doesn't really post on it himself. He's done it all of twice in the past year, and... well, it has been a year since he got here. (For the second time, anyways, but since he remembers nothing of his apparent first time here he dismisses it without much concern.)
He's not sentimental or anything-- he's been here a year, and that's it, there's no cause for celebration-- but it's another year that he's survived. That matters, in its way. Especially considering all the things that Wonderland decides to throw at them. So far, at least, no event has decided to coincide with his arrival date.
He won't be saying that in the morning, but that's how it goes.
But the difference between Wonderland and Beacon Hills is that he's fairly certain that he doesn't want to go back. ]
Over the past year, I've had the conversation with a few people before, and others have posted about it, but it's interesting how a lot of us prefer this place over wherever we came from.
I don't know if it's some kind of cosmic irony that some of those people have been gone for a while now, or have gone home and come back with no memories of this place.
Personally, I'm just fine staying here - despite all the events that happen, and whatever Wonderland decides to throw at us - and have apparently been here once before all of this.
But I haven't gone back since I got here a year ago, even if people from my world have come and gone, with and without memories.
There's no pattern to it, is there? To who goes back, when they go, if they come back.
Time in Wonderland isn't exactly a straight, simple line, but at least there's some sort of timeline we can go off of with seasons, holidays. [ Full moons. ]
Even the events, for the most part, run on a kind of schedule.
Maybe sometimes the space between one and another is spread out a bit more, but they still happen.
But people coming and leaving can happen at any time.
[ If you're looking to run into a lightly brooding werewolf while he mulls over his time in this place, it's pretty easy to find him. He's traversing much of the mansion right now, but you're likely to find him on the ninth floor or around the library. Though he's not really looking for company right now, he's certainly not going to turn people away. Derek's not in a bad mood, he's just... bemused that he prefers Wonderland over what was supposed to be his home. ]
