I once knew a girl named Alice who had been to a place called Wonderland. Was she there? Maybe I should have gone just to say hello, but I like my head on my shoulders, and she told me all about the queen who liked to chop heads off.

Was this one the same?

What are you even talking about?

[ofhope]

Clearly something that doesn't involve you, if you don't know.

[nukeoleptic]

Maybe not. I'm still not sure what does and doesn't involve me here.

[ofhope]

Well, if you didn't go, and didn't hear about it until now, it definitely doesn't involve you. But since you're talking like you're new, I suppose it would be polite of me to give you leeway.

Unfortunately since I didn't go, I can't answer your question. People disappeared, and then spoke about Wonderland, and that's all I can say on the matter.

[nukeoleptic]

You're talking like it's completely normal for people to just disappear and show up again later.

[ofhope]

It's commonplace, so I would say that's normal.

[nukeoleptic]

That's really dumb. Do we know why some people go and some don't?

[ofhope]

Some people are stupid and some aren't?

[nukeoleptic]

That's probably not it.

[nihilo]

Should have followed her way.

[ofhope]

Your opinion is biased, Miss Alice.

[nihilo]

Because of my namesake? You think I'm so petty.

[ofhope]

Only human.

[ Granted, a fun one... But all humans are petty. ]

[nihilo]

Now, now, it isn't playing nice if you bring up species.

[ofhope]

What do you do when someone plays rough?

[nihilo]

Play rough back.

[ofhope]

Glad I have thick skin.

[It's depressing how not-crazy that just sounded. His life...]

Makes it sound like an amusement park.

[ofhope]

Did you go?

[gottaknockhard]

I thought it'd be a fun way to spend a week.

[ofhope]

And? Who was there? What happened? I want a story.

[gottaknockhard]

Nobody was there and nothing happened. You could have slept through it.

[ofhope]

Spike, you're being mean. What if I bring you some beer?

[gottaknockhard]

You know a place that'll sell it to you?

[Now he's being mean.]

[ofhope]

Sell?
