Who: Charlie Bradbury and all you crazy kids out there!
Where: Mostly the library, but she can be found in the kitchen stocking up on snacks, too.
When: 9/17 and on
Rating: pg?
Summary: Charlie is trying to brain up riddle things and keep herself busy and useful. The mirrors are coming and shenaningans are afoot! This is a catch all for the event, so any mirrors come her way!
The Story:

One Charlie Bradbury has practically moved into a corner of the library.

Her presence is obvious, even when she isn't curled up in one of those super comfy chairs with a book in her lap. There's not a whole lot in these books that can help her with the riddle set before them, but at least it's something. Keeping her brain busy usually helps in the sudden epiphany department, and that's exactly what she's hoping for.

There are breaks, naturally. Food runs to the kitchen, since pulling food out of a closet still seems real strange when she thinks about it. Plus, she doesn't really trust the closets - she's pretty sure they're mad at her.

Which is silly, but whatever. Being paranoid keeps her safe.

Ish.

Point is, Charlie has now moved into the library and she's working hard. There are at least three notebooks full of scribbles, ideas she's struck with that she needs to get down to run across someone else. Riddles could be fun, but in this case it was a little more dire. She's not sure if that's a good motivator, or if it has her so nervous she's just screwing up all over the place.

It's possible anyone who walks through those library doors are going to be accosted by one energetic redhead who is on a mission.

Half of Natasha's own teammates have moved into the library to work on this riddle, so Natasha's been swinging by occasionally to check up on them. Especially since she's trying to figure out who's the real version and the mirror version for half of them. Some are more obvious than others but that doesn't mean she's not still keeping an eye on her friends. Just in case. This entire thing has her a little on edge, understandably.

Still, it doesn't keep her from swinging by around lunchtime with a large platter of sandwiches for the bunch that's exiled themselves in here to research. She knows how her teammates work. They start going all genius and forget they still have human requirements like food and sleep.

"Anyone hungry?"

"I brought plenty," Natasha answers with a friendly smile as she glances over her shoulder in the direction of the redhead, waving her over. "Come help yourself. I know how these guys get and I figured it wouldn't be a far leap of logic to imagine at least a few of the rest of you would be along the same lines."

"How goes the researching?"

"Well, then you have more patience for it than I do," Natasha chuckled, shaking her head. "Some things I'm decent at figuring out but this... just sounds like nonsense. Then again, this is Wonderland. I suppose that's to be expected."

"Not to mention, sometimes the super smart people miss the obvious answer that's staring them in the face while they're off running all the complicated theories," Natasha counters with a bit of a secretive grin, because yeah, she's worked with more than her fair share of geniuses. "Hopefully having as many different people as you have looking at it will keep that from happening."

"At this rate? That wouldn't surprise me," Natasha drawls, looking exasperated for a moment before shifting to hop up and perch on the edge of the table, one leg swinging absently beneath her. "Still, from everything I've been told, the sword sounds pretty necessary. There doesn't seem a way around that part of it."

"There is, actually," Natasha laughs at that statement. "There's a crocodile down there. Or there was, last time I checked. No Jabberocky though, as far as I know, unless he can shapeshift. And yeah, I know of one or two people here who know their way around a sword."

"No, there's really one down there. A friend of mine feeds it occasionally, or so he's said," Natasha answers with wry amusement, moving to perch on the edge of the table for the time being.

She gives Charlie's musings some serious thought, because there have been a lot of theories bouncing around for the past few days and she's still trying to catch wind of them all, hoping to find something interesting she hasn't learned yet.

"The Red Queen... She's different from the Queen of Hearts though, isn't she?"

Just how many queens did they have around this place?

"I'm not sure I believe any of them being on our side, really," Natasha replies dryly, rolling her eyes. "Then again, this place doesn't inspire many feelings of trustworthiness. Except maybe among those of us who are all in the same boat."

And even then, it was a toss-up.

"Granted, I haven't had a lot of encounters with them. Some days I'd give anything for the damn caterpillar and his hookah, though," Natasha scoffs, shaking her head in wry amusement. "The only time I've seen any of the residents of this place pop up is to tease us with imminent chaos descending on our heads and even then they aren't all that reliable. Not sure I've bumped into Alice, though."

"Or this has become home," Natasha counters, looking thoughtful for a moment as she glances around the library. "I can see how that could happen, after enough time is spent here. And for some, this is still a much better place than where they come from. It's not so far-fetched an idea, the longer people stay, the more important connections they make here."

Natasha lifts a shoulder in a shrug and shakes her head. "Beats me. I haven't even been able to locate where they stay when they're not being portents of incoming doom. And trust me, I've looked. Maybe they just pop into existence long enough to be bad omens before going poof again?"
