[Now that he's not up hovering in the air, James has found himself a room that he's fashioned to look like his dormitory in Gryffindor Tower, even though school isn't for another month at least. ...If not longer. He's not really sure anymore. Anyway, he's gotten the hang of the journals, it seems. He's also gotten some pumpkin pasties from the kitchen, and he's sitting on his bed eating one as he sends this message across the network.]

Hullo! [He waves with his free hand!] I'm James Potter, and I'm new here, sort of. I just wanted to make sure I've got all my facts straight.

Right, so - [He counts each point of on the fingers of his free hand.] - one, this is Wonderland. Two, you can't leave yourself and if you leave and come back you forget everything like I apparently did. Three, bizarre things like that...collar thing happen every so often. Four, you supposedly need a license to fly...[He grins at that one.] ...and five, you can get some pretty excellent food from the kitchens, ad the closets are good at what they do too.

Have I got everything? I figure I should learn it all now while I'm new so I'm not caught off-guard later on. Besides, it'll probably improve my chances of getting home sooner. Unless they release us for good behavior. I'm not sure I can manage that.

Oh, and if anyone sees a fellow named Sirius Black, let me know? I misplaced him when I was dragged from home to here, and I'm sure if he's still stuck in my world that my mother will be terribly upset if he has to tell her he lost me. Thank you in advance!

[He gives another wave, and then the screen cuts off on its own.]

You're adjusting pretty quickly.

Well, it wouldn't do me very much good to panic at this point, would it?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Heh, well that statement alone makes you wise beyond your years, kid.

Name's Shannon Beiste. I've been keepi' an eye on all the other teenagers here so I guess you'll end up on my list too.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've been told I have more than my fair share of cleverness. And I really appreciate any and all help I can get here.

But anyway, it's nice to meet you! You have a fantastic name, Ms. Beiste. I'm just a little jealous.

Were you told about mirrors?

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Mirrors? No, I don't think so. What about them?

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

Apparently there's a copy of this world on the other side of them, including the people in it.

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Left. Came back and remember.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Huh. Santana was telling me that happened to someone. It sounded like it might've been her boyfriend. Is that you, or some other fellow?

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

No.

Is not me.

[ you know maybe if Conan was more trendy with fantasy novels he might recognize the name. But he's not so. ]

You left and came back, but don't remember? Mister, did anyone tell you how long you were gone for?

[ video ]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I could probably ask the fellow who said he remembers me from the last time I was here; he'd probably know. But there's someone else who's been here over a year that doesn't remember me being here either. It's been at last that long though.

[walkingdesuno.livejournal.com]

Did anyone say if that happened often?

Looks like you have just about everything down, young man!

[He tilts his head thoughtfully, smile shrinking slightly.]

And about the Sirius Black fellow. I spoke with him a while ago, but I haven't seen him since.

Oh, so he was here. That's good to know. It sounds like I must have just missed him. But anyway, thank you for telling me.

[candyisthegame.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome, young man! I couldn't help but wonder why he asked me about making chocolate frogs for him.

No, I think you pretty much got everything. Though I'm really not sure how four is relevant to anything.

Oh, wait. You forgot we all have mirror versions of ourselves who serve the Queen and like to make our lives hell.

[Video]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I was flying on a broom stick a couple of days ago, and a girl attempted to take me down on the grounds that I didn't have a license. It was very strange.

Someone just informed me about the mirror world, but what's this about them serving a Queen and making our lives hell? That sounds significantly less awesome than I imagined it to be.

[There's this brief look of disbelief on Spencer's face, for the time it takes for her to remember that this is Wonderland and that if someone told her they walked on walls and were made of custart it would be unwise to dismiss it without further investigation]

Really? Who?

The Queen runs Wonderland. The mirror selves are her lackeys. And if your mirror is anything like mine then he'll be a gigantic pain in the butt.

[He looks a bit singed. As does the room behind him in the video. Not that this seems to bother him.]

You don't always forget when you come back.

Re: video;

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

So I've been told. Knowing I'm missing a chunk of memories is really annoying, actually.

...Are you alright over there? You look like you were caught in a fire or something like that.

[hurricanebomber.livejournal.com]

I was conducting an experiment that didn't turn out so well.

Not this time!

Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who disappeared. I was just hoping he'd shown up too.
