Rehearsal 1: [Text, from Astralfield]

[forgotten_vows]

[The text is written in long, loopy handwriting, and displays as a dark blue -- the color of the chalk he's using. Victor's not even close to figuring out the video function yet.]

I -- I don't even know what I'm doing. . . Apparently this chalkboard can be used to talk to other people? Like letters, only more -- instant? Oh dear, I'm so confused. . .

Is there anyone out there who can explain this to me? All I know is that I was in my room, preparing to draw, when suddenly I blacked out and then. . .

[And he just can't help asking the question that's been on his mind since he first woke up here.]

Is this Wonderland?

[Victor stares at Joe for a long moment. What are you on about, person Lord Everglot would probably get along with?]

I -- no, they weren't like that at all. No face-tearing or g-gut-eating.

[Well, there was nose cake, but that was from one of them, so Victor would guess it doesn't count.]

Aww, that's a shame. Blasting zombies is fun!

[forgotten_vows]

. . . It's a shame they weren't attacking people.

[Yeaaah. Victor's starting to think you may indeed need a white pillow room, Joe.]

If they were you would have grabbed a machine gun and taken them all down, right?

[His enthusiasm for this topic is showing.]

[He and Lord Everglot would have gotten along, wouldn't they?]

I'm not sure anyone owns a Gatling in my village. We're a rather non-violent lot. I barely know how to fire a gun myself.

[He knows the basic method, but nobody trusts him with one -- which, to be fair, Victor understands. Him with a weapon could be a recipe for disaster.]

In a zombie attack you'd better learn fast!

[forgotten_vows]

Yes, I suppose I would have to.

[Yeah, he's just -- agreeing to get the topic over with. Though he admits deep down Joe probably has a point.]
