[ Good day, may I interest you in some mock tsk tsk tsk with an extra helping of mock concern? ]

You know, there might be children listening.

[shocknshootout]

Ah, they can go fuck themselves, too.

[defiant_eye]

Then I take it you're not the new babysitter.

[shocknshootout]

[A grudging chuckle]

Wouldn't know what the fuck to do with kids. And I don't even know where the fuck I am.

[defiant_eye]

Wonderland. Fucking Wonderland, if you prefer.

...Don't tell me you didn't get a welcome committee yet.

[shocknshootout]

I know it's called Wonderland, but I don't have a clue what the fuck that means.

[defiant_eye]

Join the fucking club.

It's a trap. You fall in, you stay in. Some get out, sooner or later. Mostly later.

Pick a room, live with it. That's about all.

[shocknshootout]

Well. That's great. How long you been here?

[defiant_eye]

Four months.

Could be you're gone by that time. Or sooner.

Could be you're in for four years. Or longer.

...Any urgent business to take care of back home?

[shocknshootout]

My fucking girlfriend is going to be pissed off that I disappeared again.

[defiant_eye]

Here's some good news for a change: Been told that time doesn't actually pass in... wherever you're from.

Your girl won't even know you're gone.

[shocknshootout]

That's the best news I've heard all day.

[He even manages a smile]

[defiant_eye]

Enjoy it while it lasts. Wonderland isn't exactly big on good news.

[shocknshootout]

All right, I will.

What's your name?

[defiant_eye]

Hannah. Hannah Whitney.

[ ...what? Wonderland is boring. Making up new aliases is one of the few hobbies she has. ]

Yours?

[shocknshootout]

Chev Chelios.

[No aliases here]
