Rehearsal 1: [Text, from Astralfield]

[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?

THIS MIRTHFUL PLACE IS A LAND OF WONDER ALL RIGHT, BUT I GET THE VIBE THAT IT'S NOT YOUR WONDERLAND.

Well, Wonderland wasn't exactly mine to begin with anyway, but -- it was the first thing that came to mind. . .

Could you tell me the official name then? I gather that where I've been told to live is called 'Astralfield,' but I doubt that's the name of the whole country.

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW AND BEYOND CANNOT BE OWNED, MY BROTHER. FOR WE ARE ALL JUST MOTHER FUCKING BEGGARS TO A HIGHER POWER. AND IT IS THEY WHO GIFT US WITH THE MIRACLE OF EXISTENCE AND GIVE UPON US THE CHANCE TO REACH THE DARK CARNIVAL AND THEREFORE SALVATION.

ALAS, NONE OF THAT PROBABLY MOTHER FUCKING MATTERS TO YOU.

THIS WICKED LAND IS CALLED MALLOWHALLOW, ALTHOUGH I'VE HEARD THAT THEIRS A MIRACULOUS PILLOW SECTION THAT GOES BY THE SAME NAME.

[It might be too bad that he doesn't yet know how to work the video option, because Victor's making the most hilarious face at his chalkboard right now.]

I -- my own thoughts on such matters are so unsettled, it's probably best if I don't get into it.

Doesn't that get confusing? (And pillows?)

No, but it might as well be!

Yes, I'm gathering that. . .

My name's Victor, by the by. Victor Van Dort.

I'm Mirai Kaname! I live in Astralfield district with my friend. It's nice to meet you.

[Consider that a good thing, since otherwise he might decide to turn on Video himself. Then you will realize who it is you're talking too~]

AHAHAHA, THAT IS OKAY MY BROTHER.

CHURCH, BUT I GUESS THE PILLOW SECTOR HAS THIS SPACE BETWEEN. I HAVE NOT REALLY SPENT MUCH TIME IN THAT PLACE, REMINDS ME TOO MUCH OF THOSE MOTHER FUCKING PADDED CELLS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

It's nice to meet you as well! I'm in Astralfield too, actually. In fact, I'm very new to it -- is there anything you can tell me about it? I tried asking one of the locals, but. . .

[But nobody's been very forthcoming with answers, and it's starting to wear on his nerves.]

It puts you to sleep every night and then you have dreams. And this is the dream district, so they're important.

[To be fair, Victor's spent time with rotting corpses in the underworld. He'd probably initially be startled, but. . .]

I -- not from direct experience, but -- my closest friend, the one who knows Wonderland -- I've heard stories from her. Disturbing stories. I'm so sorry.

[And that starts up an ache inside of him -- Alice, he already misses you.]

It -- wait. You just -- fall asleep? No matter what?

[Oh boy, he has such mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, it sounds like a form of mind control, and that sends cold shivers up his spine. On the other --

No more insomnia. No more struggling with getting to sleep every single night of his life. That's -- he's wanted that for YEARS.]

Important how?

Uh-huh.

Pieces of everyone's dreams become part of the district the next day. You might see a flying loaf of bread or somebody with no pants.

They -- so whatever you dream might turn up in reality?

[This is -- both intriguing and worrying.]

What if you have a nightmare?

That counts too.

Oh dear.

[He's thinking of the sort of nightmares he has, and -- he wouldn't want to inflict them on anyone else.]

I assume there's no way to prevent it.

Not aside from going to another district, but they don't really like us.

Why not? If the dreams don't come to life outside of our own district, what's to fear?

Every district has its own weird things, but I think they think it's messed with us. Which isn't fair at all!

[Very true.]

NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO ME, I DID NOT STAY IN THERE FOR LONG. I HAD TO GO IN AFTER SOME SHIT WENT DOWN, BUT AFTER AWHILE THEY GAVE UP AND THE MOTHER FUCKING GOVERNMENT LET ME OUT.

BUT FROM WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED, WELL... YOUR FRIEND HAS MY PITY.

No it isn't -- but it's my experience that life is hardly fair no matter where you are. (Still, you think at least the pillow district would have some fondness for us. . .)

Well, I'm glad your stay wasn't long, but still. That must have been a terrible experience.

She's doing better now. I -- I hope my disappearance doesn't disturb her too much. . .

[He doesn't want to be the reason for her to slip back into insanity.]

I guess that's true. I wish it weren't, though. You sound like a lot has happened to you.

So do I. . . And yes, I -- it's been a hard past year, let's say. And being taken against my will to a new world is hardly the new start I wanted.

[Mostly because he's been separated from the person he wanted to make a new start with.]

Chalkboard? Man, I got a pillow.
