open;

Who: Belle Gold, et al.
Where: The mansion, heading into the attic.
When: Immediately.
Rating: I don't see it getting much more out of hand than a PG.
Summary: YO Belle's here.


Let the record show that this is not how Belle expected to spend her wedding night. Of course, whether it's even her wedding night anymore is debatable, given the way the sun shines down and filters through the windows. And certainly it would have taken some time to travel to a mansion of this size, such a distance away from civilization (and she could see none of it from the grounds, just grass, shrubs, and a forest in the distance).

Well. Presumably. Unless magic was involved. A flash of anger makes itself known amidst the confusion in her face; Belle certainly would have hoped her husband would have told her if they'd be traveling with uncommon means for their honeymoon. That's just flat-out inconsiderate.

But there she is, still veiled and dressed in white. She turns in the foyer, taking in everything, staying silent until she utters a loud, questioning, "Hello?"

It's a beautiful place, and she'd be the first to condone that, but the silence is eerie and the fact that there's nobody here sets Belle on edge. She takes a cautious step, eyes darting around, brow furrowing - and then another until she's walking with purpose, clearing the foyer and the rest and making her way quickly up the stairs. It's a large place. There has to be someone there.

She comes to a pair of doors at the top of the staircase, and, politely, has the sense to knock on them.

"Hello? Is there anybody -" Belle wants to give them the benefit of the doubt, you see, but when it becomes evident that nobody's going to answer, she grabs the handle and yanks the door open, and that's when she enters the attic.

One step inside, two steps inside, and Belle can feel the curiosity overwhelm her. There's so much to look at, so much to see, that for a moment, she forgets her urgency. And, she leaves the door open.

It's the flash of white that catches Natasha's eye, just out of the corner of her eye. It's one of those restless days and she's been out wandering, even though there's rarely anything to see on the topmost floor.

Except today, apparently. She's ventured into the attic once or twice but never found anything of interest. The fact that someone else is looking is perhaps a bit more interesting that what the attic itself might hold, so she changes direction to come investigate.

Stopping in the doorway, she peers inside, finding the woman in white standing just inside the door.

"Hello?"

"You don't need to apologize to me," Natasha answers with a faint smile, shaking her head. "There's nothing in here that belongs to me. not that I know of, anyway. Were you looking for something in particular?"

Ahh, that made more sense and Natasha gave a sympathetic wince.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you;d just arrived. I probably should have. This place can be more than a little confusing and overwhelming at the start," she offered with an apologetic smile. "You're in Wonderland. Yes, I know that might sound pretty strange, but it doesn't make it less true. There's a bunch of us that have been dragged here, from all sorts of other worlds and times. People are still searching for a way out, but at the moment, we're trapped here indefinitely. Or until the magic that runs this place decides otherwise."

She pauses, then holds out her hand in greeting. "I'm Natasha."

Natasha shakes the woman's hand before holding up her other in a motion to calm her. "I'm sure there is, we just haven't been lucky enough to find it yet. The magic that runs this place is pretty fickle and brings people here and sends them away again on a whim, it seems. People are still looking into the how and the why, but there's not a lot for us to go on. Doesn't mean people aren't trying. Most of us are no happier about being stuck here as I'm sure you are."

"Yes, just not one we can predict or control just yet," Natasha answers with a wry quirk of her lips, dipping her head in a nod. "I've been here about five months now. There's others who have been here for longer - in a few rare cases, years."
