[testcase]

[Well, this is definitely more difficult for someone with amnesia than she thought it would be. Nanami...probably won't end up looking like a mummy by the time Ryoko's through, so that's something, but it's still kind of close. Tsumiki probably would've done a better job, but Ryoko doesn't remember who she is at the moment.]

You're welcome, um...I did what I could.

[She tried?]

Um, you might want to go talk to a doctor though.

[If they have one of those. She should probably ask what happened, but she's not sure if she asked that already or not. At any rate, it probably doesn't involve her anyway.]

...maybe I should try and call one.

[195388]

Oh, no I've been here for a week.

[ hiding in her room and hoping it was some sort of bizarre kitsune thing and that maybe it would just go away or she'd wake up or...yeah. ]

I figured it was time to explore and how bad could be it, you know? But the only warnings I had were about mirrors and vendors. Someone should really put this thing on the brochure.

[ gasp kira was that a joke ]

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, I know. I hate it. [He finally breaks into a wide, toothy grin.] I guess I'll take it, if it means I get to punch your stupid face in for doin' what you did.

[You think he's just being funny, but he does march over to him and punch him in the leg, all the humor training from his expression.] I gave you that, so you're giving me this, you old bastard.

Beatrice | Over the Garden Wall (episode 10)

[lifeisntfun]

[Beatrice distinctly remembers flying face first into Wirt, but after that is a complete blur. She woke to find herself snug inside the hollow of a tree she doesn't recognize. She's had some pretty terrible collisions before, but blacking out is pretty new.

She flies through the forest, trying to orient herself, until she finally comes to a clearing and sees the mansion.]

NOPE. I'm out. I've had enough of creepy locales.

[She flies right back into the forest, directly the way that she flew out, and finds herself in the same exact spot, looking towards the mansion.]

NO NO NO.

Chell | Portal 2

[eagleblimp]

Kitchen

[ Chell is hard at work cooking... something. Whatever she's working on requires nearly a dozen potatoes scattered around dirty utensils on the counter and on the floor. It looks like there's a pot on the stove right now with a few peeled potatoes boiling beside a pan with shredded potatoes frying. A bowl of mashed potatoes is on a counter littered with potato skins. The oven has a few nearly done baking. ]

[ The microwave dings and Chell looks up from her cutting board, leaving her fry-cutting and eagerly rushes to the microwave. She reaches in for the bowl of baked beans but recoils at the first touch of its side. Determined to retrieve it, Chell uses the sleeves of her jumpsuit as makeshift oven mitts and with a couple close calls manages to get it to the cluttered counter. If you were hoping to use the stove, you might need to get her attention. She's a little too lost in savoring spoonfuls of her baked beans to notice the burning smell coming from her frying pan. ]

[drummeintheface]

[Greg's not birdwatching today (or any day because that's boring) but he definitely watches this bird when he sees it flapping its wings hard and not going anywhere. It almost looks like it's stomping or something, like it's all mad! Greg giggles at the image and leaves the stick fort he'd been constructing to check on the bird.]

Hey bird! Are you ok-- wait. Beatrice? Quick, if it's you, say words!

Here, have a buddy.

[literalidiotball]

[Wheatley has no need to eat. Really, he doesn't. But talking to people in the kitchen is fun, and so he sometimes zooms in there on the "management rail" he got from the closet.]

[The first thing he notices are the potatoes. Specifically, the potatoes in the frying pan that look like they're gonna catch on fire.]

Uh, excuse me, I think you might wanna check on that pan. Soon...

[Wait, does he know this human?]

[singloversing]

[As a general rule, Wirt avoids the forest. He gets lost too easily and with his track record he'll wind up in another magical maybe-purgatory and...yeah, no. He's not doing that.

However, he's pretty sure he saw something fly into the woods nearby? Yelling?]

...Uh. Okay.

[And he wanders away and that's the end of that.




...No, wait, actually that's probably Beatrice. With that realization he turns around and jogs over to that part of the woods, hoping he can catch up to her.]

Beatrice? Beatrice! [A pause.] ...Oh my god I'm going to feel so dumb if that wasn't her. Beatrice?

[lifeisntfun]

[Can birds normally sigh? Well, Beatrice certainly can.]

Of course it's me, Greg, I saw you a whole five minutes ago.

[She knows kids have short attention spans but this is a bit much.]

Wait, how did you get away from that creepy THING? I was just going to get Wirt, and- seriously, where did this mansion come from? I seriously doubt that you know what's going on, but I could use insight from literally ANY source about now.

[choosetruth]

[Georgia blinks. Even the sunglasses she always wears can't quite hide her surprise at seeing a talking bird. Sure, she's seen a lot of weird stuff in Wonderland. This is still new.]

Great. I've wandered into a fucking Disney movie.

[She crosses her arms, looking at the bird skeptically.]

Having trouble?

[lifeisntfun]

WIRT!

[Beatrice has never been so happy to see her favorite pointy-headed loser. She flies to him and wraps her wings around his hat in the closest thing a bird can manage to a hug.
]

Where are we?

=D

[eagleblimp]

[ She hunches her shoulders at the sound of his voice and turns around with a scowl. The spoon in her hand quickly shifts, now held more like a knife, but whatever murderous plans she had were quickly forgotten when the pan suddenly catches fire. ]

[ Chell drops her spoon and looks around, trying to spot the nearest fire extinguisher. ]

[lifeisntfun]

[Geez, what's HER problem?]

Yeah, no, I'm just being pulled in by the creepiest possible setting ever and no matter what I do I can't get out.

No, really, this is the most fun I've had in years.

[singloversing]

[Wirt holds the sides of his hat so she doesn't knock it off his head, but he doesn't make her stop or anything.]

Um. ...Wonderland? Did you forget everything again when you left?

[Probably, since she's a bird again. That's a pretty big giveaway that it was a dumb question.]

[lifeisntfun]

Well, I did black out, but I had just run into you and when I woke up you weren't there, and this place doesn't look like the Unknown...

Wonderland? What kind of name is that?

[drummeintheface]

Oh, you just got here! I've been here a while. We're stuck here, but Wirt's here too, so it's okay!

[It's not, but it's better than if he was here totally alone.]

[literalidiotball]

-You! Oh my god, I...

[He has so many things to say but here she almost killed him. Thank god the pan started burning.]

Aaaah! Fire!

[He backs away from the flames.]

Oh god oh god, this is bad! Uh... Oh! Fire extinguisher! It's by the sink! [He frantically nods twoards it.] Hurry!

[singloversing]

That's...because it's not the Unknown? It's Wonderland; it's a different place.

[Keep up, Beatrice, sheesh.]

Y-You wouldn't know that though. It kind of like...steals people's memories or something? But wait, so...do you mean back at the Tavern? Like, when you flew into a tree and got knocked out and we thought the Woodsman was trying to turn you into an Edelwood tree?

[How many more times could she have possibly gotten knocked out?]

[eagleblimp]

[ Chell rushes for the extinguisher and in moments the whole stove is coated in clouds of white. She coughs and fans the smoke away to find her food now completely ruined. For a few seconds, she stares at the mess, shoulders slumped. So much delicious food gone, so much work and time wasted. ]

[lifeisntfun]

Yeah, okay, but where is "here"?

[Way to avoid the question, Greg. ]

[lifeisntfun]

WAIT, what do you mean "stuck"?

[drummeintheface]

Wonderland! It's not where we were before, which is why you were here and then you went home and now you're back again!

Do you want to go pick your room? It can be by my room!

[lifeisntfun]

[Not that time, Wirt, KEEP UP.]

Yeah, well, I wouldn't know that. Because I don't. And no, we left the tavern a long time ago, and last time I saw you I left you with my family.

[You know, after that... "unpleasantness" with Adelaide. Suddenly her voice is no longer angry or frustrated, but a little subdued.]

I'm so glad you're here. I'm sorry about everything. I have no idea how you can look me in the eyes right now.

[singloversing]

Your family?

[He definitely doesn't remember that. She must be after his point in time, like Greg is. Wow, this is just as uncomfortable as the last time this happened.]

Uhhh... [Mentioning that suddenly makes him totally unable to look her in the eye, but for different reasons. He rubs the back of his neck.] It's okay. I-I mean doing that was definitely not okay but, um. You were kind of...here before? And we already had the big fight about it and forgave each other so...I'm good. We're good. E-Except you didn't really like that the second time you came back and we got in a different fight about it because you hadn't had the fight yet so you were mad I was already okay with it? So...uh. Do with that what you will, I guess?

[She's prooobably going to be mad about it again but he's not sure how to avoid that at this point.]

[lifeisntfun]

Okay, you're clearly crazy. I've never been here before. And there was NO closure on my end. Can't I just apologize for being terrible? I never got to apologize, I have no idea what you're on about.

[Honestly, she's more confused and irritated than angry.]
