Oh--yeah, I thought I'd seen you around. Nice to meet you, Souji. Uh, sorry the circumstances are kinda weird. Then again, I feel like the circumstances of meeting new people are always weird around here.

[eatsyourscience]

It's in Wonderland's nature. Just being here at all makes it weird to say "it's nice to meet you" when you're both trapped for an unknown length of time.

[deadshapes]

Ugh, right? Especially when it like, erases your memory, and then you're introducing yourself to the same people multiple times, and then it's super awkward when you get your memory back.

[eatsyourscience]

I feel strange introducing myself to people I've seen around a lot, but who I've never spoken to. It feels like I should know everyone here, but I keep realizing I don't.

[deadshapes]

It's cause we don't have town hall meetings. Or pageants. Or like, community stuff like that. Like, we have the population of a small town, but we don't act like one.

[Maybe they should?]

[eatsyourscience]

People do stuff like that occasionally. Maybe we should do it more often.

[deadshapes]

That'd probably be a good idea, right? Maybe I'll post about it or something, I dunno.

[eatsyourscience]

It can't hurt. People are usually pretty interested in anything like that.

[deadshapes]

I'm the pumpkin chunkin' girl, though, I don't think I can propose "hey assholes, let's have a town hall meeting." I don't think anyone would take me seriously. I vandalize shit for fun.

[eatsyourscience]

Maybe I could do it then... [He looks thoughtful. He probably could do that convincingly, being an old timer.]

[deadshapes]

Oh hell yeah. You've been here for a real long time, right? I think I saw that somewhere. I bet everyone listens to you.

[eatsyourscience]

Six years. [He still looks thoughtful.] I wouldn't say people listen to me, though. I'm not an adult.

[He's tall enough to look like one for sure, though.]

[deadshapes]

Dude, if you've been here six years then you're six years older than--like--how you look. Right? Cause people don't age here I think? Does that make any sense? Point is, screw 'em, if people don't listen then that's their problem.

[eatsyourscience]

[He smiles a little at that. He's 23 in Wonderland years, but he definitely doesn't think of it that way.]

I'll give it some thought.

[deadshapes]

I'll vote for you, dude. Anyway...good luck with my Mirror. I guess I'll see you around?

[eatsyourscience]

[He nods and gives a little wave before heading off in search of her Mirror.]
