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?

Oh.

[He hasn't done that yet, but -- good to know it's coming?]

And they just let you stay there? What about jobs? Money?

Even if you don't need them, people think you're lazy if you don't have one.

[Victor smiles sheepishly.]

Well, I've never had to before. . .my father's a very rich entrepreneur, and I've always been able to rely on an allowance from my parents. . .

[Those days are over, it seems. On the other hand, he's been meaning to get himself off the parental gravy train, given that he and his parents don't think very fondly of each other these days.]

Hopefully I'll be able to find something suited to me. . . I can draw, for what it's worth.

[Action]

[seewithyoureyes]

I'm sure there's something.

[Action]

[forgotten_vows]

I really do hope so.

[He drums his fingers on his leg for a moment.]

Thank you very much for telling me about all this, by the way. You've been most helpful.

[Action]

[seewithyoureyes]

Don't worry! You're a nice person.

[Action]

[forgotten_vows]

[He smiles.]

I try to be. And you're quite nice too. It's good to be welcomed to someplace so -- new and strange.

[Action]

[seewithyoureyes]

I've been in your position, so I want to be as helpful as I can.

[Action]

[forgotten_vows]

Well, it's very much appreciated.
