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?"

And then it hits her. She stops mid-sentence and pats the sides of her pajamas, as though she's looking for pockets.
"Oh no. O-Oh no, Mom! Mom's picture is still at home!" Tears start to well up in her eyes. "I-I was asleep so I didn't have her picture on me and now she's all alone at home! She's gone..."
She's just been told that that's not the case, that no one knows she's missing, but it spirals very quickly into panic at her mother, or rather her mother's photograph, being missing.
no subject
He thinks quickly and comes to a solution.
"We can get her picture for you."
They would just have to take a little field trip.
no subject
She looks up at Souji, absolutely shocked that this is a possibility.
"But...how? She's probably at home, and-- and you said that we can't leave?"
Despite that, he absolutely has Tohru's attention. She doesn't know how it would be possible, but the fact that it might be is enough to immediately get her hopes up.
no subject
"Behind the Mansion, there are a bunch of vendors who sell pretty much anything, even things directly from our worlds. I have a...I guess it's a coupon. We can use it to get the photo for you."
Maybe after she's put on some real clothes and settled in a little more.
no subject
"Th-That's too much! I couldn't possibly ask you to do something like that. I..."
She says that, but. She doesn't have the steam to really argue. It might be her only chance to see her mother, so she doesn't have quite as much independent fight in her as she usually would. This is different. This is about Mom.
"...You would really do that for me?" she asks. "Even though I don't remember you?"
He's effectively a stranger to her, but he's still being so kind, even though this must be hurting him on some level.
no subject
"I remember, even if you don't. I know how important it is to you."
He'd do this for any of his friends.
no subject
She doesn't know, but he heart aches at the thought. In this moment, she can truly feel that there's a piece missing from her memory, something that should be there but clearly isn't.
It starts as a slight tremble. Then, she bows her head forward and she starts to cry.
"Thank you. Thank you so much..." She stops to sniffle, and to try and get the wet sound out of her voice. It doesn't work. "It-- It means so much to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!"
no subject
"We can go whenever you want to. Maybe after you've settled in a bit?"
Or they could go right away, if it would make her feel more secure to have her mom's picture around.
no subject
"I..."
She's in her pajamas. She's not at all presentable to go out, but that isn't what stops her.
"Um. Whenever is most convenient for you is okay. You're being so kind to do me this favor. I wouldn't want you to go too far out of your way on my account."
no subject
"It's not out of my way," he says, smiling. "We can go now, if you want. Let's find you some shoes."
no subject
"O-Okay," she says, wiping her eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
She's said that already but she could say it again and again and again and mean it just as much every time.
no subject
"Just picture a pair of shoes that will fit you and you'll be able to get them from here." He gestures at the correct door.
He doesn't suggest that she get a change of clothes. She can if she wants, but it doesn't bother him for her to go in her pajamas.
