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.]

[The seems like you want a drawing contest, Victor. Obviously not, but she'll take that butterfly and raise you a chalk sketch of her boyfriend. Headshot of Mason Greyback in a relaxed kind of way to get it's a real person but not straight up practiced art kind of thing]

That's a nice picture by the way

[Ooh, that's nice. Victor's never felt as confident with people as he does with animals. Case in point, he replies with a sketch of an ant -- only this one is wearing an army coat and carrying a bayonet and rifle.]

Thank you! Your sketches are very nice as well. Chalk isn't my usual medium -- I usually work in pen and ink.

Well you're doing better than me with it since I normally use paint

I paint sometimes too. Perhaps I should see about getting a set and some canvas. . .there's plenty to inspire artists around here.

I should introduce myself -- Victor Van Dort.

I'm Alex Russo and you realize your name can be easily made fun of right?

[There's a smiley face after it to show that she just snorted at it and figured let him know if he wasn't aware. She's met people like that, before.]

I'm guessing you're in the same district as me though?

[For those unfamiliar with the canon, Alex, upon meeting Victor, will snort and say 'Yeah. To me, you're Victor Van Dork now. No offense.']

[You can't see him, Alex, but right now he's linefacing at his chalkboard. Can Dort, Van Dock, Very Dull. . .]

Yes, I'm aware.

[At least Victor Van Dork will be on the newish side?]

Given the medium, I would say so.

[At least the word 'dork' from Alex's mouth is adorable.]

Good because you'd be surprised how many people with funny names don't know that they have funny names like my brother Justin Vincenzo Pepe Russo for example just makes me laugh that easy

Trust me, the other boys in my home village were very clear in pointing out to me that I had an easily-mocked name.

That -- is a mouthful of a name, honestly.

He's a pain anyway

[Look who's talking, Ms. Russo.]

Ah. Is he -- here with you?

[Awkward question is potentially awkward. . .]

Nope

[She's actually kinda fine with that. It's Mason she wants here more than anything.]

[Well then.]

I see.

[Ummm. . .conversation, conversation. . .]

Have you been here long?

Not too long how about you? You been here long?

[Victor, you're now a target. You haven't even met her in person but she has this feeling you're getting awkward and that makes you a target]

[Let joy be unconfined! Although all things considered, Alex is much better than some of the people Victor's had to deal with.]

Not long at all -- only a few days. I'm still getting used to everything.

[Pause.]

If you've seen lots of oversized glowing mushrooms or butterflies with slices of bread and butter for wings, that's my fault.

[Yeah, Wonderland's still on his mind -- and in his dreams.]

Where's you from? Wonderland? Like blonde girl falling through the rabbit hole seeing crazy people everywhere Wonderland?

[Brunette psychopath that had to save it. Same thing?]

[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)

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]

[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
