Who: Seth and Starters Within Where: Around Wonderland When: June Rating: Updated as needed Summary: Working out feelings, and maybe a date at some point. Ping me if you want a starter The Story:
She assures him, "I wouldn't make the invitation unless I wanted you to." She'd much rather not sleep alone, given the option for company.
"Moods are salvageable," Maggie tells him. She can detour onto something more serious or upsetting for awhile without destroying the rest of the evening. "What's in the tunnels, Seth? Are we talking horror movie monsters, or tragically deformed animals that haven't done any harm to anyone?"
He snorts, giving her a look. "Well, no. If you're going to put it that way then you're going to be disappointed," he admits. "Your garden variety large enough to be turned by your virus type monster," he notes. "In case that memory comes around again."
He pauses, considering that. "Do they repeat? I mean, we weren't here with the virus, but I remember being security in a world that I think was yours," he notes. "That said, it's a bear and a gator. Pets, I guess, people go through the closet."
"Seth, you're talking to someone who hosts horror film festivals. Where on
earth did you expect my mind to go when you mentioned the magic closets
making 'mistakes'? Of course I pictured dreadful chimeras." It's
both a great relief and a small disappointment that she was wrong.
But she'll stay far away from that bear, thanks. "Alligators can't turn.
Only mammals. Shaun and Becks once shot a zombie grizzly bear. I'll avoid
the tunnels, don't worry."
"Not Freddy Krueger. And you don't live with those monsters. Trust me. This place is more likely to throw culebra at you than the closet," he points out. "Or, you know, the other side of the mirror."
Where he definitely knew one lurked.
"Well, glad for that. Not sure why the place keeps either of them around though. What purpose do they even serve? In this place, that is."
"Did you really just ask what purpose the creatures lurking beneath this
bizarre nonsense world's mansion serve, as if you expect them to be
contributing members of society? I think it just makes sense. I'm only
surprised there aren't stranger things down there."
She decided awhile ago that the only way to survive Wonderland was to
anticipate it not making sense. Once you flip all your expectations around
and... not quite welcome, but at least anticipate... all the odd
genre quirks, things are a little easier to cope with.
"Thank you for the warning, Seth. I promise not to get eaten or create a
zombie bear. Now, I can think of better things to focus on than the bear
under the mansion."
"Why not just send them back to where ever they came from? I mean, what I do with my dirty suits and linens," he admits, shrugging. "Bad enough the shit they throw at us but a pet bear and gator? What's the point?"
He just finds it setting themselves up during the off time, when they have a few times to handle things themselves when they're not stuck in the middle of events.
"Though now I'm tempted to lure them to a closet and see what happens," he adds, because leave it to Seth to think that sounds like an interesting way to pass the time.
"Wait, right. Not distracted by luring bears into closets. Got it."
