((There's a little quiet at first, a little time to think. Then a brief, little sigh before Alice speaks...))Well... That's all over now and I'm quite glad of that. I should very much like that to be over for a very long time. I almost think that sheep growing out of the ground is more ordinary than sheep going mad.

...A queen turned into a sheep?

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Oh, yes, it was very strange! Only, I'd seen a little boy turn into a pig before, so perhaps it wasn't so strange.

[voice]

[wind_magic]

That sounds....unnatural.

Is that sort of thing normal where you're from?

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

No, not at all. But, then, the place where I saw it happen isn't really where I'm from. So perhaps it's common there, but it isn't at all common for me where I'm really from.

[voice]

[wind_magic]

That doesn't make much sense.

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Haven't you ever been to another town or some other place where people do things differently?

[voice]

[wind_magic]

Yes, but they didn't turn into animals.

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Well, yes, but all I meant was that perhaps it's strange in one place and common in another.

[voice]

[wind_magic]

....I guess. So it was sort of like this place then?

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Yes, a little.

[voice]

[wind_magic]

Huh. I didn't think there were other places like this.

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Oh, yes, but of course there have to be other places like this! With so many people from so many strange places, surely there are other ones as peculiar as this.

[voice]

[wind_magic]

That makes sense. Though I guess some people might think those places were normal.

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Yes, precisely!

[voice]

[wind_magic]

...If stuff like that isn't normal where you're from, then what kind of place did you go to for people to think it made sense?

[voice]

[othersideofwhat]

Oh, well, the first time, I followed a rabbit down a rabbit hole. I've been calling it 'Wonderland' since I don't know its proper name. And the second time, it was the other side of the mirror, so that was the Looking-Glass Country, I suppose.
