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!

[ She is instantly cautious. Even well-meaning, seemingly innocent encounters have had consequences for her of late. And yet, she arranges her features into a polite smile, a little embarrassed at herself. ]

Hello. I am... physically well, though, this brochure makes me worry for my mental state.
wordvomit: I am the master of them, just watch (social faux pas?)

[It's okay, Ned had a panic attack when he first arrived in Wonderland, so by all accounts she's taking this rather well.]

...oh. Yeah, it's...not great. [Dean Winchester wrote it. As if Ned expected anything less.] It isn't wrong for the most part, just...poorly-written.

[The Pie Maker is certain he has seen more informative descriptions on bubblegum wrappers. He grimaces apologetically at the woman and offers a little shrug, toeing the carpet with his Chucks.]

You are in Wonderland, though. That's accurate.

[Margot is not precisely reassured by this information, but she will take it in stride for now. She still thinks this is all some elaborate hoax of Mason's concocting, but it's best to play along for now. He won't be satisfied with taking her baby and any hope for more. He likes her suffering too much. Still, this man is likely unaware. She holds out a hand, not knowing of his problems.]

Be that as it may, there's no reason I can't be sociable. My name is Margot Verger.

[She expects him to recognize the name and misidentify her as the heir.]
wordvomit: and other assorted BTO classics (you ain't seen nothing yet)

[The information isn't necessarily intended to be reassuring, as Ned is a "glass half-empty and laced with cyanide" sort of person, but he has his moments. Now is not one of them. To the Pie Maker, being sociable is an exhausting chore fraught with verbal sinkholes into which he can step, conversational traps and the dreaded interpersonal obligations.

Shaking hands like a normal person is one of those obligations, but Ned does not do touching and it takes every ounce of his considerable self-control to reach out and accept her hand gingerly for a brief shake before his fingers return to his pockets.

Achievement: Unlocked
]

I'm Ned.

[He does not recognize her name or her reputation, offering a fleeting (sheepish) smile.]

The, uh, Pie Maker.

[Margot can't help but grin.] the Pie Maker. [She echoes bemusedly. How cute. He has a pseudonym of sorts.]

I imagine you must love to bake. Do you have a favorite?

[She used to once upon a time but now she hates the taste of chocolate. Another sweet thing Mason has made bitter.]
wordvomit: I just can't quit you (oh you)

[personal profile] wordvomit 2015-02-05 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[The (definite article) Pie Maker, being the only one of his kind in Wonderland that he's aware of, is used to people appearing bemused upon learning his self-proclaimed title. Margot Verger is clearly no exception.]

Apple,

[he replies without missing a beat. Ned adores all varieties of baked goods - save for meat pies, for personal reasons - but apple reminds him of home, and of his mother.

It was the last flavor she baked before a blood vessel burst in her brain.
]

I owned a pie place back home.

[ She smiles briefly. Apple is decidedly not chocolate. ]

Then you must be quite the expert.
wordvomit: except for weed and sex pills, a man has his needs (I say no because drugs are stupid)

I like to think so.

[The Pie Maker also likes praise as much as the next person, but by haute cuisine standards his particular brand of home-made goodness is frowned upon. It should be noted that he's not bothered by the lack of Hannibal Lecter in his diner, though, so small mercies and a victory for good taste.]

...sorry, I, uh- I don't normally...welcome people, I usually see them after they've settled, but I can offer you a slice of Rainier cherry and a glass of milk? Or...tea. Whatever you like.
fratricidal_tendencies: (did you think it all through)

[personal profile] fratricidal_tendencies 2015-02-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She smiles at the thought. I don't imagine Margot gets to leave home terribly much, and I bet that includes for meals... ]

Cherry pie and milk. You know, that sounds fantastic. Really, it does.
wordvomit: surprisingly bittersweet (life is like rhubarb cobbler)

[personal profile] wordvomit 2015-02-15 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[A smile twitches onto his face and the Pie Maker, whose expressions are often much more sober than the norm, nods.]

If you can find it, the eighth floor diner is where the pie is.

[She may smell it before she sees it.]

That shouldn't present too great a challenge. Besides, I would do much more to spend time with a friend? Friend in the making?
