[Ven's not entirely sure he's doing this right. He gives the camera a perplexed look.]
Does this thing even work? Oh!
[He accidentally presses a button. The screen is dark, but the audio is coming in just fine.]
Oops! Um, how do I turn that back? …Please say I didn't break it.
[And then he's back with a triumphant smile!]There! I think that did

[Oh, here we go again. Hey, at least he's gotten used to welcoming people by now. He's still not good at the consoling part, though.]
So, I'm Sokka, this is Wonderland, and your friends might be here but probably not. At least, I know I haven't seen anybody like that, anyway.
[And, boy, is this gonna be a rough one.]
And, about the mansion... Has anybody told you anything about it yet?
Reply
[At least he bounces back pretty easily.]
Hi, Sokka, it's nice to meet you! I'm Ventus, but everyone calls me Ven. [Ven sighs.] Well, thanks anyway. It helps.
No, not yet. Why? What's wrong with the mansion?
Reply
Yeah. You'll probably have some luck talking to the other people, though.
So...
[Wow, this is going to be a lot to cover.]
First off, this place had a queen who was horrible, but then the mansion ate her, and then people still wanted to live in the mansion-- Wait, that's probably weird. Uh. There are mirrors who are like the evil versions of us or something, and... Wait... Maybe you should just ask me questions.

Uh, wow, is that normal for a mansion?
[Let him think about that for a bit.]
I guess we can start with the...mansion eating a queen? How did that happen?
Reply
Oh, yeah, there are tons of mansions that just up and eat people.
[Sorry, Ven, but you just walked right into that one.]
In all seriousness, though, I have no idea. No one's really explained it to me that well. I think it was something like she angered the mansion and it just decided to take care of her.

I haven't been to many mansions, honestly, but I guess I walked into that one, huh?
Okay...that's kinda scary to think about. So, maybe the mansion is...alive?
[He doesn't actually know.]
Reply
Yeah, you did. And, honestly? I haven't either. But most houses aren't alive, so technically a mansion shouldn't be alive either.
[The key word here is shouldn't.]
And, yeah, it pretty much is. I mean, it being scary to think about and the mansion also being alive. I haven't heard of it eating anyone else, but there's no way for me to tell without asking everybody. See, there have been some people here who've been here for months! And, I've even been here for a few. There's a lotta weird stuff going on, like events and people just randomly appearing and disappearing.

So, what about these mirrors?
Reply
[There's no budging him on this one. Two months ago, he was singing the same tune.]
Okay, good. At least you've heard about them. How much did he tell you about them?
[Hey, if he's anything, it's efficient.
Oh, and the mirrors are gonna be fun to explain, seeing as Sokka knows next to zilch about them still.]
Basically what I know about the mirrors is from what I heard about the rebellion. Oh, yeah, and that happened before the mansion ate the queen and all. Or during. It's confusing. Basically, my sis told me her mirror was awful, so I'm assuming all our mirrors are basically the same. Oh, and there's also something about there being another side, but I didn't hear enough about that one.
Reply
Hm...well, he told me that sometimes the mansion changes, and that it changes us, too. Is there more to it?
[Wow, they really don't sound very nice.]
So...the mirrors rebelled against the queen? How do we talk to the mirrors?
Reply
[Nope. This is the best place to be thrown into! And he'd like to avoid talking about that second time, thanks.]
Yeah, basically. Actually, it was everyone? I think, anyway. And we can communicate with them by writing on them...which I should do soon, actually.
Reply
[He won't press, and he doesn't know what else to say about that last bit.]
So, we can go to where these mirrors are, and vice-versa?
[Ven kinda wants to try communicating with them at some point, actually.]
What do you need to talk to them about?
Reply
[And speaking of sheep, Sheepie creeps into view. Sokka rolls his eyes and scoots over to the side.]
Sheepie, I'm tryin' to talk here.
[Is he a bit strung up after that event? Maybe!]
Everywhere! Just look around! Or, wait, where are you anyway? Because I don't think there're any outside. At least, not that I know of...
[There's another baa in the background before Sokka can get another word in.]
Hey, I figure I could get some information from them. I'm trying to form a strategy to throw this place down. Or, at least, get us all outta here. So far I've got a map and a schedule lined up.
Reply
Sheepie?
Oh! I'm outside the mansion. I wasn't sure if I could go in or not.
[He looks a little sheepish (lulz).]
That's a good idea! I guess you know when the next event or something is going to start, now?
