Previously on tumblr, still getting used to this (AU, Canon is Corpse Bride & A:MR)

Dear Mun,

So -- this is Dreamwidth.

*looks around*

It's all right, I suppose. It is nice to have more than one facial expression. Though I wish you wouldn't obsess so much over my icons. It gets worrying. I'm just glad you put up those posts in my journal to properly explain my history.

Though. . .what do you plan to do with me here? Do you really think anyone's going to want to say hello? It may be q-quiet back on tumblr, but -- at least there's someone whom I know. Who sometimes wants to play with me. Here, everyone's a stranger. And I have to say, I don't hold out much hope of finding an Alice. At least, one who's interested in me.

Still, I know you'll do as you like and I can't stop you. Just -- please. Think hard before you throw me into any of those "memes." I know you.

Yours (perhaps a bit reluctantly),
Victor

*Okay, now he's going to blush.* I t-try to be. . .

The same here. I thought I would h-hate it at Houndsditch. . .well, I did, but it was n-nice to have someone to hate it with. If -- that m-makes any sense. *awkward laugh*

[doyousuppose]

It makes sense.

[ There's a bit of ease coming to her shoulders. Someone knew and it wasn't only her. ]

You'll find it's much easier here. At least with a mun. Hopefully they'll keep you out if trouble as long as possible. The only thing to fear here is the unknown.

*Victor can't help but smile. It's good to have someone around who understands again. Who knows what it was like.*

*slightly suspicious* Oh, I don't know if she's necessarily interested in keeping me out of trouble. . . She's the one responsible for this whole "crossover AU." Not that I'm n-not thankful to have met you, it's just. . . *He sighs and shakes his head.* But she has no plans to do anything truly horrible to me, I don't think. Just whatever strikes her fancy in memes at the moment.

[doyousuppose]

I'm sure there will be some. Every once in a while at least. But it's less...tense than it could be.

[ His fumbling makes her quirk up a side of her mouth in amusement. ]

Well. If you ever need anything, I suppose. It may be an AU but you're still a friend. Here it's like Wonderland, I can defend myself and others. It's nice. Like a dream almost.

[forgotten_vows]

Oh yes, I'll agree with that. It's certainly better than Houndsditch. Or even Burtonsville. *There's a slightly bitter tone to his voice as he says that last. He's not too fond of his hometown at the moment.*

*That, however, gets another smile.* Thank you. And -- if there's anything I can do for you. . . *bit of shy fiddling with his fingers* I'm glad you get that opportunity. Though, really, I think you're j-just as brave in London.

[doyousuppose]

You must be brave to live in London. Whether or not it's of your own accord.

I think she'll read it, sometime. Soon, I hope. I'm curious what happens to us. And maybe we'll find you again in the memes. They aren't exactly exempt from card guards or even Jabberwocks now and again.

[forgotten_vows]

*slightly embarrassed smile, tie-fiddling* Not really of my own accord, but -- ah -- thank you. *That's one heck of a compliment from her, he thinks.*

Er -- my story, you mean? I've got a post in my journal explaining things -- including links to the two stories my mun's got up. (It's the first one in there -- she's reluctant to link because then she can't keep the spoiler cuts.) She's got the third written, she's just fighting with where the chapter breaks should go.

And that would be nic-- Did you say J-Jabberwocks? *Oh cripes that's not good.*

[doyousuppose]

[ She wanted to say "Brave to put up with her Wonderland" too, but wasn't sure how to word it. Alice quirks up the side of her mouth again, this time with a much more obvious smile. ]

The details are always nice.


I'd like to hope two against one would be better than just one, but...there's worse things than Jabberwocks. Vampires, werewolves, uncontrollable sickness, haunted hotels. There's also a lot of nice things she hasn't put me in yet, like memes about outings, and snow, and staying up past bedtime. For every few good, there's a bad.

*Hey, Victor likes Wonderland -- at least, he likes some of the stories he's heard Alice tell. To the point of drawing pictures of the place when she talks about it. He smiles back at her, a little more at ease.*

I think I can sum it up as I go through my canon, then end up in yours. It's not always easy, especially in the third story -- t-that's the one that happens during "Madness Returns" -- but -- *another smile* it's worth it.

*nods a little, frowning* I'll have to k-keep an eye out, then. Sometimes she likes doing nice things, but I wouldn't put it past her to do something horrible if it intrigued her enough.
