Opting to ignore the curse as it was muttered, Carolina continued to stand as she was, not shifting her stance in the slightest. Her eyes narrowed a touch further at the suggestion that Tex was a figment of her imagination, however. No. No, she wasn't. She was standing right here, right in Wonderland, and she certainly hadn't been seeing figments of Texas at all within the last year or so.

"Decent." Carolina repeated, and maybe it was a question? But it came out so flatly that it was hard to tell. There's something just on the edge of being scathing in her tone--her intel had always been good. Not "decent." Head turning slightly to one side, she continued to stare Texas down, though she didn't avoid answering her questions. "Of the people you'd know, Wash is here, and so is Epsilon. Other than them, there are all kinds of people from other places who have wound up here, too."

Yup, her skills at button pushing we still sharp. It was like she couldn't not egg Carolina on even if she didn't want to start shit. Was that part of her flawed personality programing? Or was it knowing the truth that made her more bitter toward the former Freelancer? DId it even fucking matter anymore?

"Wash and Epsilon, like..together?" That hadn't worked out well the first time around and it made her a bit worried. Wash had been traumatized by the first go round with AI implantation, what could it do in a place with even less medical care options? Or what seemed to be a more primitive environment anyway.

"So what the hell is this place all about?"

[coverme]

It was probably part of one of their flawed personalities, if not both. Carolina wasn't exactly looking to start shit either, but there was just something about Tex that made her twitch, pressed all her buttons at once. She could think of a few reasons as to why, at least, and the fact that this was probably the most bizarre family reunion to ever exist was probably at the top.

"Fortunately, no. They're separate." And she intended to keep it that way. She had no plans to even let Epsilon so much as talk to Wash, not with everything that had happened. It was safer for the both of them that way.

"So far it seems to be more or less about kidnapping people from all kinds of different places, forcing them together, and tormenting them with some ridiculous 'events.'" She answered, not seeing much point in not being completely honest about everything she'd heard about the place thus far. Tex may not have been one of her favourite people, but telling her to go to hell and get answers from someone else was just asking for conflict. Which, she was trying to avoid. Even if the easier way of doing that was probably to have turned around and walked the other way the moment she'd seen the familiar black armour.

They were oil and water, or perhaps oil and flame, they were more combustible when mixed. Volatility was their trademark. But yes, this was the worst type of family reunion ever, of all time.

"Good." That was for the best, the two had never had a smooth interaction on any side of things.

"I really don't like the sound of that." She growled low and clenched her fists. Abduction was something she was not comfortable with and now she knew it had been done to Carolina too and Wash and Church. She'd been trying to stop things from turning out like this before. She'd failed again. She shouldn't be surprised. "So, I'm going to assume you've already tried to break out."

[coverme]

Volatility. Just something that ran in the family, it seemed.

"You're not the only one." Welcome to the club, Tex. Abduction on its own was bad enough, but something like this? Something supposedly magic, for lack of a better word, trapped in some bizarre world with people from all kinds of different universes with seemingly no escape? That special kind of abduction took the cake. Carolina breathed a soft snort, something of a scornful laugh. "Of course I've tried. Tried being the operative word. You walk too far in one direction, say into the woods, and you eventually end up right back where you started. There aren't any kind of barriers to find, and it doesn't matter if you keep walking straight ahead. You always come back."

She hadn't tried swimming as far as she could in the ocean yet, but that was more out of disinterest in discovering whether or not there really was some sort of sea monster that would devour you if you went too far. Aside from those two options, there weren't a whole lot of other escape attempts to make.
