A looking glass?

voice;

[tinybluedress]

Yeah, a looking glass. Well, the looking glass. It's some kind of portal from Wonderland to my world. And evidently to here, which is not my world and not where I'm supposed to be.

voice;

[guardianjoker]

Well there's nothing like that here exactly.

Exits out of this place are hard to find. I'm not sure if you've been told this or not, but this place is called The City.

voice;

[tinybluedress]

The City. And where's that, the Country?

voice;

[guardianjoker]

No. It's another world which everyone who is here was pulled into.

It's not the most original name, I know-- but that's just what it's called.

voice;

[tinybluedress]

Right. Great. This is turning into the story of my life.

You said something before abut exits. And people being pulled in. By who?

voice;

[guardianjoker]

Mm, yeah by the deities and we're basically stuck here.

voice;

[tinybluedress]

What do you mean "stuck"?

voice;

[guardianjoker]

Exactly how I said it, since we can't go home. Has anyone given you the guide to this place yet?

voice;

[tinybluedress]

Yeah, I've got a copy.

I'm Alice.

voice;

[guardianjoker]

Well that should explain everything then, since it's all true.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Amu. Hinamori Amu.

voice;

[tinybluedress]

How long have you been here, Amu?

voice;

[guardianjoker]

A bit over a year now...

voice;

[tinybluedress]

A year? That long?
