[Sirius has tied his hair back so that the quizzical look on his face is apparent to everyone who takes a gander at this video. He has an expressive face, that boy: his skeptical quirk of the eyebrow, the downturn of his mouth, the way he takes a hand and smooths his brow back as he stares at the puzzle that is the recording device. He's never seen

[Wonderland never rests. An event just finished, and now there were new arrivals.]

This place is called Wonderland.

[Not that it explained much. But he waited for a response before continuing.]

[Sirius makes the face that suggests he has no idea what Minato has just said. Because that is quite a bizarre name for... He looks around. What is this? A hedge maze?]

Er... [He scratches at the side of his nose. An idle habit.] Is it?

[That's really the best response he can come up with. Honestly, what is this fellow nattering on about?]

[video]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded, answering his question. Basically. More explanation had to follow. He looked and saw where Sirius was located, and remembered that he ended up outside on his arrival as well.]

Can you see a building from where you are?

[Sirius blinks and cranes his head to see over the hedges. Even with his height, he feels like he can barely see over them. But thankfully, there seems to be a rather big house over there.]

Er, yeah. Ways up there. [He tilts his head, frowning.] Mind if you explain what's going on? Because you seem to know...

[video]

[jivitadana]

Try to head for it if you can.

[Though if he were in the maze, Minato wondered if it would be easier to go out there and help out the newcomer, but he couldn't tell from the video just how far into the maze he was.

He nodded again, willing to explain despite what his deadpan expression conveyed.]

You've been brought to Wonderland. No one arrives or leaves voluntarily.

[Sirius runs a hand through his hair.]

Wonderland! So I've heard. [He's a little irritated by this.] What is this Wonderland? It is a prank, isn't it? [He sounds like he's doubtful of that now.]

[video]

[jivitadana]

No one is certain what it is. Only that it is a place that pulls in people from different worlds or universes and different time periods.

[No matter how many times he explained it, it still didn't make any sense. But that was the best explanation anyone could offer.]

Re: [video]

[ohsosiriusly]

[A pause and then Sirius laughs again. Seriously? What else is he supposed to do?]

You've got to be kidding, mate. That's... that's ridiculous. Even ma--well, that can't happen. [He's fairly sure. Unless... well, only Dumbledore could pull off something like this, right?]

[video]

[jivitadana]

... I know. It shouldn't happen.

[Minato knew how ridiculous it sounded. No one deserved to be in Wonderland. But now that they were here, all they could do was remain and continue to find a way to escape.]

Did you need help getting out of the hedge maze?

Re: [video]

[ohsosiriusly]

Me? Nah. [He gives his usual cocky grin.] I am far too amazing to be contained by something as ridiculous as a hedge maze.

[video]

[jivitadana]

All right.

[That answered that question. Minato gave him a nod soon afterward.]

Once you arrive at the Mansion, any free room is yours to take.

Re: [video]

[ohsosiriusly]

[Sirius grins at that.] Are there still good ones left?

[video]

[jivitadana]

[Minato smiled just slightly, seeing that the other seemed to be in better spirits.]

They're all the same. The one you pick will change to your needs.

Re: [video]

[ohsosiriusly]

[Sirius claps his hand together.] Good! I look forward to it then. [He hopes his room is awesome all the same. He is Sirius Black.] Suppose my time here won't be too awful then. Well, before I go home... [The Marauders aren't here, are they? It's just occurring to him now...]

[video]

[jivitadana]

In general, it won't be. On occasion it can be dangerous. But it's temporary.

[The events. He had to explain those somehow. Any new arrival had to be made aware of them.]

Re: [video]

[ohsosiriusly]

On occasion? [Sirius is intrigued.] Is it... the 'events' you have? Someone mentioned them to me... [To be honest, he's not sure if he likes the sound of the thrill or if they're going to be an absolute pain in the arse.]
