Who: Tohru Honda [breakthecurse] + YOU!
Where: All around Wonderland
When: 4/9 - 4/10
Rating: PG
Summary: Tohru wakes up from a bad dream, only to find that maybe she's having a different one! Then, once some things are explained to her, she decides to explore Wonderland a little.
The Story:
A. EVENING 4/9 (CLOSED TO SOUJI)
Tohru has never seen a house as big as the one she's standing inside now. Not even the Sohma family estate can compare. She feels so small, walking down the hallway of this huge home. Are dreams supposed to make you feel that way?
The sinking thought is creeping in though, that she isn't actually dreaming. It's a terrible, frightening thought. If she's not dreaming, then something is very wrong for her to not be in Shigure's house. Staying in her new room won't give her any answers though, and surely there must be someone else around who knows a little more than her...right?
It isn't too late in the evening in Wonderland, but late enough that things have gone relatively quiet. Except up ahead, there's a door with signage like a business or restaurant, and it looks like there's a light on inside.
"The Rabbit Hole?"
Like...Alice in Wonderland? That doesn't make this feel any less like a dream, but it does feel like her best option right now. So, she opens the door and enters the diner. It strikes her in that moment exactly how out of place she feels. She's still in her pajamas, but she's also barefoot. Hopefully whoever is here will understand.
"E-Excuse me?" she tries, and she bows deeply. "I'm sorry to intrude a-and I don't think I have any money, but...I was wondering if someone could tell me where I am? I-I don't know how I arrived here and if this is your house and I'm trespassing or something I'm really sorry."
B. MORNING 4/10 (KITCHEN - OPEN)
That was...a lot to take in. And that's putting it lightly!
Eventually Tohru goes back to bed, in what is now established as "her" room, and is a little bit surprised when she's still there in the morning. It really solidifies everything she was told the night before, and proves it isn't a dream. But if that's the case, then she should really do some exploring and learn about her temporary new home. If there's no way for her to return home, then all she can do is make the best of it, right? And Souji had been so kind to her and explained so much, so she shouldn't complain.
Everything is still extremely overwhelming, but she's sure getting out and about will help. Or at least, doing something that feels a little more normal might clear her head. Which is why she can be found first thing in the morning in the kitchen, making a traditional Japanese breakfast - and it smells pretty great.
If anyone walks in, she'll greet them with a bright smile.
"Oh! Good morning!" she says. "Were you going to make something? I'm sorry - I promise I'm almost done."
C. DAYTIME 4/10 (GROUNDS - OPEN)
After she has some breakfast, Tohru ventures out on the grounds, and she has never been somewhere so pretty before. Even though she knows they're trapped in Wonderland, it feels like the world stretches out before her. She thinks this must be what the English countryside looks like, with beautiful gardens and forests and large western homes...
She strolls through the garden and peeks through the greenhouse glass and all she can think is how much Yuki would love to see plants like these. It's a melancholy feeling, and one she's had a few times today. There are so many incredible things here, and according to Souji she knew them all and forgot them a long time ago. This must be what it's like to have her memories erased. She's not sure if it's exactly the same as what Hatori is able to do, but then again how could she be?
Still, it's a pleasant day, and so beautiful outside. She'll spend the rest of the day marveling over the plants and walking along the beach, and just meeting as many people as she possibly can.
D. EVENING - 4/10 (LIBRARY - OPEN)
It isn't long before Tohru is itching to do more though. Or, maybe more accurately, itching to not think about everything quite so much.
Thankfully, she does have something to do. If she's going to be helping Souji in the diner (the...the diner she...made? She still can't quite believe it, even though she's sure he's telling the truth) she needs to step up and relearn a lot of the dishes she made before, which means it's time for a trip to the magical library!
Except...she's having a lot of trouble finding exactly what she's looking for. It's almost as though the contents of the library are moving around - but surely they wouldn't be able to do that, right?
Eventually, she'll very gently start to ask for help. She doesn't want to bother anyone, but her head is starting to spin looking this hard!
"Um, excuse me...I'm sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you know if this library has cookbooks, by any chance?"

It's an absolutely incredible quality to her, one that lets her happily trust and follow a unicorn through the stacks.
"You must really love reading then, am I right?"
no subject
It also means that he can keep an eagle eye on the books and make sure no one wrecks them. It's not completely altruistic. He laughs at Tohru's question, nodding strongly.
"Oh yes, I adore reading. I'd do it all the time if I didn't need to eat and sleep and suchlike," and spend time with people, he guesses. "Should be this next left."
no subject
She knows a few people like that, who have passions they would work on all the time if they didn't have other things in the way.
"Oh! Thank you so much for showing me the way." She offers a tiny bow in gratitude. "This library is really confusing, so I appreciate that there are p-- that there's someone around to help!"
She smiles, but internally she's shrieking a little bit. She definitely almost said "people" so casually and that would have been so rude of her!
no subject
Momma didn't raise no quitter. Actually, Momma raised a neurotic, anxious mess exactly because she didn't raise no quitter, but there you go. He chuckles- catching the almost slip, but not commenting on it. He never minded it, so much- just accepted it was a way of life here now. Besides, everybody here were technically people- one way or the other.
"Don't mention it, I'm happy to help. Honestly, it's nice to see someone so interested in reading. I always have time for people like that."
See, Tohru, you can use people. It's fine.
no subject
She pauses, and then sheepishly elaborates.
"I-I should probably explain. According to Souji, I used to be in Wonderland?" she says. "And when I was here I worked in the diner, and I'd like to help there again, but I don't remember anything from the last time I was here. So, I thought some cookbooks might help!"
no subject
He cants his head, before nodding.
"Ah yes. I have heard of that, Wonderland taking away memories of people who have been here. Cruel, if you ask me, but not exactly out of character for Wonderland," he offers her a smile. "Welcome back, then. And that's a nice idea- re-learning what was lost."
Screw you, Wonderland, you can't take everything from them.
no subject
Sunburst isn't wrong. It's very cruel, from what she knows of it. She wishes she knew more about why they lose memories and how to return them. For now though, she smiles and bows slightly.
"Thank you very much for the warm welcome, and for showing me to the cookbooks! I really appreciate it. If there's ever anything I can do for you, please let me know and I'll do my best."
no subject
He's almost glad he's avoided that particular mess, thus far.
"Don't mention it, that's what I'm here for, after all," plus it gives him an excuse to explore more of the library- if he's here for a hundred years, he doesn't think he'll see all of it. "Good luck with your cooking"
