oo2 ;; Accidental text ;; Alex likes to draw, m'kay?

[Alex was doing a chalk doodle mostly because of boredom. The drawing just so happened to be of New York above and below as she had drawn what felt like years ago. She didn't know why she wanted to draw it, it just happened to be on her mind. Something from back home. Something that she truly was proud of, after all. She sent it to the network and huffed before sending a message shortly after]

Sorry about that also oh my god this is so cool!

[Except she totally wasn't and it totally was cool. Her first text to the network. In her own handwriting. Oh my god. It was beautiful.]

I expect that don't worry and thanks

[There's a smiley face drawn after that. Not text type just a little smiley face to go with the thank you]

[Victor can't help but stare at his chalkboard for a moment.]

She's not blonde. . .

You know about Wonderland?

[Nobody'd he met during his introduction had seemed to know -- or, at least, been that specific about what it entailed. . .but blonde girl?]

Edited 2013-05-10 18:55 (UTC)

no problem.

so what's your name? i'm reid, by the way.

From the books and disney movie yeah blonde girl fell down a rabbit hole after following i buncha weird stuff happened creepy guy in a hat with a lisp

[She has never played the games, though as she's a Disney character herself]

Name's Alex nice to meet you Reid

[Confused Victor is badly confused.]

Books? Movie?

[He's not even sure what that last one is.]

I -- "creepy guy in a hat" I know about, though Alice never spoke of a lisp. . . And she is very much not blonde.

Look, the reason I know of Wonderland is that I'm acquainted with Alice herself. She never said anything about books! Unless she was planning to write them herself. . .

No she never wrote the books it was some writer dude who used drugs like LSD or whatever but sounds like yours is more exciting that what I've seen or read about

I've never heard about that, I swear.

[The books or LSD, he means.]

It -- depends on what you mean by exciting. Alice had to -- well -- battle her way across Wonderland twice.

[He feels a little weird talking about it with Alex -- after all, it's Alice's story -- but she seems to know so much already. . .]

Well that definitely sounds more exciting since the Alice I'm used to is kinda a twerpy 10 year old or something like that

Well, her original adventures happened when she was seven. . . The battles came after she -- lost her family in a house fire. Fighting for her very sanity, you see.

So I'm guessing it's like really twisted from you've been then because the Wonderland I know is like all bright and colorful and stuff with the cheshire cat being purple

[There was a moment before another message was sent]

And fat

Well, it's supposed to be bright and colorful from what Alice told me. Giant multicolored trees, rainbow-hued snails, bouncy mushrooms of various shades. . .

Cheshire cat was never purple, though. Blue. And very thin.

[So pretty much the exact opposite.]

Sounds like my kinda place and a skinny blue Cheshire cat sounds weird

Yes, well, I suppose you can see a bit of it in the mushrooms I dreamed up. Her stories have been on my mind with this sudden move.

Perhaps, but Alice found him

well, she complained about him at every opportunity but apparently he was occasionally helpful.

nice to meet you too.

so are you new here?

[He kind of got that impression but he wasn't sure if people arrived here in waves or individually after the first time or what.]

That's really cool

Sounds about right for the cat I learned about too

Right back atcha and kinda yeah

Thanks

[There was a smiley face to follow, more cartoony than the picture she originally posted but still]

Heh -- glad they got that right, at least.

I wonder what Alice herself would make of all this.

[Once or twice she's talked about writing her own books, as he's said. Would knowing this alternate version is apparently popular spur her on or just confuse her?]

cool.

if you ever need help with anything i could show you around.

[Or something.]

Well talking to her about it may not be too god of an idea like possible trouble or whatever

Definitely gonna keep you in mind dude

I would hope not. She's -- she's had enough of that recently.

It's a moot point anyway since -- she's not here.

[And now he's gone and made himself sad.]

Ouch that sucks... Her not being here and all
