I. Welcome to Wonderland!
Seconds ago you were surrounded by the things you know, but now you may find yourself standing on a strange beach. And you may find yourself in another part of another world. And you may find yourself within the shadow of a large mansion. And you may find yourself in a beautiful room, with a completely useless introductory brochure. And you may ask yourself: Well... how did I get here?

II. Lose yourself to find yourself
It's another day in Wonderland, and another event has come around. For its duration everyone has been turned into a stereotypical ghost. Disembodiment, translucency, and all it entails! Have fun moving through objects and walls, because actually touching a door (or interacting with any other physical objects for that matter)? Not going to happen.

III. Mirror, Mirror, On The March
Aren't you excited? Aren't you thrilled? The Queen of Hearts has chosen you amongst a mere handful, and sent you off to the other side. Whether you infiltrate quietly, or barge in boldly is entirely up to you. Her Majesty has faith in your skill, she knows you will retrieve her treasured Shield from that bothersome Red Queen and her hideous Reals. You will, won't you? You really mustn't disappoint your Queen, or else... OR ELSE.

IV. Wildcard
Play out your character's arrival. Celebrate their anniversary. Choose a different event to experience. Do anything and everything you like!

[As her husband has aptly declared: Y'know, a little while ago, all of this would have seemed pretty strange to me. "Pretty strange" hardly begins to cover what Wonderland is, and mind you, this observation comes from a woman who once brought a three-thousand year old priest back from the dead, so.

Take everything in stride and with heaping mountains of salt.

Speaking of strides, Evelyn is taking several of her own into one of the Mansions many parlours for an afternoon cuppa, surprised but not caught off guard by an unfamiliar figure investigating his self in the mirror above the side table.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your, ah...

[Preening?]

...investigating. You must be new.

[He's a bit startled by the interruption, but he does a decent job of looking casual and unruffled as he turns to face the woman who's speaking to him.

You must be new. Like it's the first day of school or something. Ridiculous.]

Sure, I guess you could say that.

[It's not untrue. Whatever this place is, he hasn't been here before, so he is new to it.]

[It's his first day in a Purgatory-like pocket universe, unless Evelyn is very much mistaken, but since he appears mostly unruffled she'll chalk it up to exceptional nerves of steel. At least he's fully-clothed - she first arrived in a dripping-wet négligée, left to wander the main foyer looking like a cross between the Bard's Ophelia and a drowned rat.]

I hate to be the harbinger of poor news, but you may be here for the foreseeable future.

[Despite her pragmatism her tone carries an apology; she knows perfectly well what it's like to be stuck for indeterminate amounts of time, and the transition isn't an easy one.

Wonderland's resident self-appointed librarian refrains from extending a hand for a shake, but she doesn't ignore English protocol entirely.]

I'm Evelyn O'Connell.

[Well. He doesn't like the sound of that. Not at all. He has things to do. Business to attend to. He needs to get home.]

Why is that? And where, precisely, is here? [The latter may actually be the more important question. After all, getting to Point B isn't easy when you don't know where Point A is.

Questions aside, she's introduced herself, and distracted as he may be, he hasn't forgotten his manners.]

Mason Verger. It's a pleasure to meet you, Evelyn.

[Evelyn understands the general perplexity, the desire to depart from the premises as swiftly as Apollo's chariot might take a person, but the sad fact of the matter is that they're all stuck here one way or another. She drags her hand over the sideboard and nods politely at the reciprocated introduction, tapping mahogany with a fingertip.]

You're in Wonderland- yes, the- ah, literary one. I presume you've seen the pamphlet, though I'm afraid I can't vouch for its helpfulness.

[It was written by Dean Winchester, after all.]
