I. Second Time's The Charm This... this looks awfully familiar, and... familiar in an awful way. Look around all you like, it won't change, it won't go away. You are in Wonderland. No, worse: You're back in Wonderland. Just when everything was nice and comfortable at home, or-- or wasn't it? Maybe you're happy to be here again. Hey, no judgement, free room and board is nothing to scoff at! Blessing or curse, that's really up to you; all you know for sure is that, apparently, you're here to stay. II. What will you children do next? It's time for another wonderful event in Wonderland! For its duration characters will suddenly find themselves ten years older or younger. This can be physically, mentally, or both, i.e., if your character is 20 years old right now, they may become 10 physically but still have the mind and memories of their 20-year-old self, or they may revert to the mentality of their 10-year-old self and lose all the memories they have of being older. Characters over 200 years old may even age by a century, as a decade isn't that long for them. III. Through The Looking-Glass What an extraordinary day! All of Wonderland's mirrors-- just the things, not the capital Mirrors, not the ones like you --are suddenly shattered! Shards on the floor as far as the eye can see, and empty frames that are just begging to be stepped through! Oh, but you should really stay on your side unless the Queen of Hearts orders it otherwise. Or should you? Who's to say she wouldn't want you to investigate? Go ahead, go on, explore the real side for a change! Or... stay put right where you are, and see who comes to visit. It's really up to you. IV. Wildcard Play out your character's arrival. Celebrate their anniversary. Choose a different event to experience. Do anything and everything you like!

[The sound of his voice grips at her in a way she tries to anticipate, making her straighten her spine and grit her teeth. She had hoped to pass her time here without encountering him, especially when it became clear that no one from New Orleans is aware of her existence.

That, however, is not meant to be, so she simply tries to be as pleasant as possible, so that the conversation does not dally longer than it has to. It's hard, being pleasant to the man who had just murdered her father right in front of her, but she doesn't have a choice.

She did it with Dahlia for a thousand years, surely she could do it with Klaus as well.]

Yes, unfortunately. I've been told this place receives them often.

[hybrida]

[ Now, he glances up at her, book momentarily forgotten in his lap. Klaus is never the welcome wagon anyone ones, whether they know him or not. There are times that he almost thrives on intimidating their newest residents. For now, he's content to sit in his chair and study her. ]

So often I wonder if there's any sort of capacity limit in place. I suppose it can be considered a blessing that people tend to disappear just as often as they arrive.

[ If only the people who disappeared were the ones who have been constant thorns in his side. ]

My name is Klaus. You'll find there's no way to predict the length of your stay, nor of when exactly you'll be able to return. [ There's a hint of annoyance laced through is words. Nothing he hates more than being at the whim of an unknown entity. ]

[deathlessness]

That sounds familiar.

[Though her voice is quiet she knows it won't be quiet enough for him not to hear her. She pauses for a moment, before deciding to opt for a story that allows her distance but doesn't force her to play a complete fool.]

I know who you are. I'm a member of the Tremé Coven.

[Not a complete lie, given Josephine's acceptance of her after dealing with Eva Sinclair. There's a pause for a moment, almost as though if she's debating whether she should give her name or not, but at least it will give her an attempt to gauge how much her family knows about her at this point.]

My name is Freya.

[hybrida]

[ This has his complete attention - he closes the book when she mentions they're already acquainted in some manner. His eyes narrow, studying her until she gives her name.

Then his eyebrows raise just a hair. ]

I see. [ His voice shows nothing of his burning curiosity and his immediate distrust. It's instinctual, to not give this stranger the benefit of a doubt. Especially if she's a witch. ] I had a sibling named Freya, long ago. Never knew her myself.

That's an unusual name for a New Orleans witch. Were you born there?

[deathlessness]

No. I wasn't. But Josephine LaRue has been very kind to me.

[She doesn't give anything in response to his sister having the same name. As far as Freya is concerned, he doesn't get the chance to know her now.]

I hear she isn't very fond of your family.
