[A rustle of fabric.]

-so cold. It's still winter here in this place, then...? How strange. ...I'm certain it wasn't nearly so dark either. [The voice sounds far away at first, and then gradually gets louder.] -Ah!

-can't have that now. [The faint sound of a chain being gathered, clinking lightly against the watch.] That would be a little ( Read more... )

*needs to do some canon-review -- can't remember if this Alice knew Jack that well, sob* bloodiedchain February 20 2011, 07:00:21 UTC

...

[She knows that voice. All too well, she knows that voice. It can't be... can it?

It takes her a while to find her voice, but when she does, it's rather quiet and subdued -- a stark contrast to her usual brash self.]

You... you're Jack, aren't you...?

bound_by_this February 20 2011, 07:05:11 UTC

[There's silence following that. A voice, coming from the watch...? And on top of that, it's a voice he knows- verified by the fact that his name is spoken.]

....That's correct. Alice?

Where are you? ...and how is this possible?

bloodiedchain February 20 2011, 07:25:58 UTC

...yeah, it's me.

[She shuffles nervously. Well. What now, little B-Rabbit?]

I'm staying with the seaweed head and Oz at the moment. And... I really don't know.

[There's something of a sigh of relief on the other end as he confirms it's her. But then...]

...who now?

[This is a familiar voice. And Gilbert can't help but feel that the voice should be even familiar than it is. Which is enough to make him pause for a long moment, considering his communicator before answering.]

It's not a watch... [Because there's no way this can be... is there?]

[Audio] bound_by_this February 20 2011, 07:25:31 UTC

[And another voice! What a strange phenomena indeed!]

...no? But...it certainly looks like a watch! Of course, it's missing the key elements to actually be a functional watch, I suppose.

How intriguing... Ah, but I guess that's not the most pressing of matters. Tell me- what is this place?

[Audio] loyalraven February 20 2011, 07:37:00 UTC

[Oh, ok. Gilbert is sure that he's mistaken. He must be. Now, granted, the voice this voice sounds like he's only heard before in something that was very much like a dream -- Alice's memory space or... well he still can barely wrap his head around it.]

It's... everyone who arrives here has one. [And here he's almost unsure how to proceed.]

It's called Ruby City. I'm... I'm afraid you're stuck here, like the rest of us.

[Another pause.] If... if you push the button on top of the watch, people will be able to see you as well as hear you.

[Audio/Video] bound_by_this February 20 2011, 07:43:18 UTC

[On the other hand, Jack has no idea who this could be! He's never really tried to imagine how little Gilbert would sound all grown up!]

Is that so? Hm.

Ruby City... Not a name I'm familiar with- ...what...do you mean, "stuck?"

[That makes him think of other places he's heard about, but what he sees before him fits no description he's ever been given.]

-to see? Fascinating..! And will I see you as well? Mm... Let me see- you said at the top... [The screen flickers, revealing a vivid green eye, pulling back to show that familiar face framed by golden locks.]

Like this?

Well, it's your watch now.

[Audio] bound_by_this February 21 2011, 00:51:45 UTC

Hm. I suppose it is. So it allows others to talk to each other, does it?

[Audio] tsunray February 21 2011, 12:38:52 UTC

Yeah, some sort of communication device they use around here.

[Audio] bound_by_this February 21 2011, 17:52:15 UTC

Well that's useful. I wonder how it manages to work...

[She was going to just ignore everything and continue on, but the voice that came through was much too familiar.]

Jack..!?

[Audio] bound_by_this February 22 2011, 05:02:51 UTC

Oh? [He's still making progress to the library at this point, and after talking with Alice and Gilbert, he's a little wary about hearing any more familiar voices- but he hadn't expected this person, and he can't help but smile to himself.]

Lottie! Is that you?

[Audio] neverclosetohim February 22 2011, 05:13:13 UTC

It is. Didn't think the two who ran this place would have been able to pull off something like this.

[Yep, guess who thinks the two somehow pulled him out of Oz?]

[Audio] bound_by_this February 22 2011, 05:20:07 UTC

The two- ah, the ones Gilbert mentioned. It seems like they do this sort of thing often, gathering from what I've been told so far, anyway.

[No, he has no idea what she's talking about otherwise!]

Have you been here very long?
