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?

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.

[ofhope]

I'm pretty sure it is... They chose to go this time. Other times, when no choice is given, all of us are whisked away.

[nukeoleptic]

It sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

[ This place is still really confusing. :( ]

[ofhope]

There have been some interesting results... I'm not opposed to adventure.

[nukeoleptic]

Me, either. What's your name?

[ofhope]

Joshua Christopher.

[nukeoleptic]

Jade Harley. It's a pleasure, Joshua Christopher.

[ofhope]

[ Manners. He responds well to manners. ]

Likewise, Miss Jade Harley.

Did you just arrive, then? I hope I'm not the first person you've spoken to... Even I'll be the first to say I'm not the best introduction.

[nukeoleptic]

I've been here for a little while. There are people everywhere.

[ Said with an odd sort of enthusiasm. ]

[ofhope]

People you know, I hope?

[ So he doesn't have to answer more questions bleh. ]

[nukeoleptic]

Lots of people I know! And lots of people I don't, which might be even better. Do you live in the castle, too?

[ofhope]

[ A mild mutter of disgust. ]

No. The castle has too many people... I don't like crowds. I live on my own.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Chipperly: ]

Living alone is overrated. Was everyone in this place pulled from other worlds?

[ofhope]

[ He would agree, only a little bit. He's picky about who he's willing to live with... ]

Everyone but the people who are from the city. They never go to the castle.

[nukeoleptic]

-- why not? Is there a reason?

[ So, so sorry she zeroed in on you, Joshua. ]

[ofhope]

How should I know? I only associate with a couple of them... They just don't trust us. They call us the travelers, or something like that.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Huh. ]

I guess that must mean they're from here. So weird. Thanks for the information, though!

[ofhope]

Any time.
