one trip through the looking glass

[Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a rocket launcher! It's --

Landing in the fountain with a loud SPLASH.

Moments later, Alice stumbles to her feet, soaking wet for the third time in almost as many days. She looks up at the sky.]

You didn't have to push!

[She looks around, and to her anger is added a heavy dollop of confusion. She looks up again.]

Hey, excuse me! Your looking glass is broken. This isn't my world.

Hello? Did you hear me? This isn't my world. Your PORTAL is BROKEN.

[She scowls and looks down, catching sight of the Network device. Drying her hands as best she can on her equally wet dress -- it doesn't work too well -- she delicately picks up the device.]

Hi. I'm looking for a looking glass.

[A brief pause as she realizes how odd that sounds. But whatever. She stares at the screen, waiting determinedly for someone to respond.]

this isn't home, fml, why do i always land in water?, your looking glass is broken, alice of legend, this isn't wonderland, wrong rabbit hole!
