[This device is easily the most fascinating thing she's ever owned. She's not sure she's seen anything like it, not even in Hatter's domain. It's clear that it's not a weapon. But it appears to be activated, so it must be doing something.]

I am not entirely sure what this is for. On that subject, I'm not entirely sure where I am. It doesn't look like anything I've imagined in the past. It doesn't even look like dreary old London. Did I fall asleep and wake up here? [She looks confused.]

And where is that blasted cat? I heard him speaking to me earlier, or Pris really is just a benevolent old granny.

I don't think your blasted cat came with you, unfortunately.

You mean fortunately. [She needs him, but she'll never admit it.]

Hey, I like cats. They're pretty cute.

Re: [Video]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

So do I. And most of them are cute. I had Dinah and her kittens. But this cat isn't Dinah and neither is he cute.

... Did you hear a cat speaking to you?

[ that's a little surprising, but his tone is still calm instead of surprised. ]

Re: [ video ]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

He's the only cat that ever does. You'd notice him right away.

[She figures whether or not this really is the real world or part of her mind will become clear soon. He'll either accept that as the truth or be like everyone else - patronizing or scared. She's not sure which is worse.]

[rocker]

Well, it is true that I have never seen any other speaking cat before. [ because they normally don't. ]

Not around this place, either.

Hmm. That might be a good omen.

You're in America, rather far from London.

Re: Video

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

America? You mean the 'new world?' Then...this place is real?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Of course it is real. And it hasn't been the 'new world' for several hundred years. My dear, it seems you're suffering from a bit of time displacement.

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

Whatever do you mean? [She gives you a puzzled shrug.] It's the year 1865, is it not?

You aren't in London, mamzel. You are in Prospero. I am sorry.

.... And welcome to the war.

Re: [video]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

War? [Now why does she get the feeling she should be feeling a bit more ominous about that?]

[video]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Indeed. You have been pulled int a war of sorts.

Re: [video]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

So you've said. But why? And who are we fighting?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

It's another world.

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

That sounds like nothing new. I should be used to that by now.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

You've been to more, then.

[rodeospike.livejournal.com]

You're in the city of Prospero.

[Says the shota appearing on the video feed.] I don't think your cat came with ya when you were transported here.

Re: [Video]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

They keep telling me. [And so many people that look like...well, people. Not talking flowers or animals or cards. He'll be along if he feels like it. Hard to tell with that cat. He'll probably show up at the most annoying moment possible. That's usually how he does things.

[Video]

[rodeospike.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a pretty amazing cat, I'd say. [Chuckling to himself. Sure don't know what kind of cat that is.] What does your cat look like?

[oneshot-wonder.livejournal.com]

Good luck finding another talking cat.

Re: [video]

[fight-r-flight.livejournal.com]

From my experience you wouldn't call that good luck. [She almost smiles.]

Re: [video]

[oneshot-wonder.livejournal.com]

Good or bad luck, you're still not going to find one.
