Attention all Wonderlandianeseians!

This is your...well not your captain, I don't think. Aren't captains only for boats? Or maybe for these too...but I don't think I'm really a captain either way. This was just here, and the button was there to be pushed, and I couldn't very well not push it, could I? That would just be nonsense!

I think I was supposed to say something though, something important...oh! Keep all of your trays in the upright position! Or the downright position, I suppose. Whichever is the right direction for the circumstance - just so long as it's not the upwrong! That won't do at all.

Oh, but yes! There will be some turbulence, and some shaking and quaking and floating and moaning and sconing and toning and droning and phoning and I'm sure you've all got the idea now, since I've explained it so thoroughly!

It will be fine though; everyone should stay calm and calmish and such. There's nothing to be feared except the shaking things and the shooting things, you know. But I doubt it will matter much - I haven't seen anyone here yet today! How curious indeed...

[It sounds like she's describing a plane crash. Jack swallows on a dry throat and licks his lips.]

_{Better clean my guns.}

Being a captain would be fun, though.

Mark drops whatever he was doing and starts transcribing the announcement in quick, scribbly shorthand that he'll have a hard time deciphering later.

"Too fast..."

[So this is probably the weird stuff everyone was talking about.]

Shooting stuff?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I can't imagine a dusty gun would do. You'd be shooting cobwebs and spiders and little dust bunnies!

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

It would be! I could have my very own ship and sail across the ocean to far off lands, like China, or Bermuda, or Nebraska! It would be such an adventure, don't you agree?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Well, you have to go very fast on a ship like this. It really, truly, completely can't be helped, sir.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know! Bang, bang! Pew, pew! Like that!

[hyperintuitive.livejournal.com]

Another event? Couldn't we just take a month off?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

But that's so much time with so very little to do. It'd be dreadfully boring.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

I'm aware what it sounds like. I'm more wonderin' why you're talking about it.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

It just sort of came to me, just like they'll be sort of coming to us, which also just sort of came to me. Besides, there's not much else to talk about, really. Not unless I make things up, of course - though that can be very fun.

[hyperintuitive.livejournal.com]

It would be safe, at least. Safe is good...

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Aaaand guess who just realized what's off about your appearance? Holy crap what.

She does her best not to overreact, but there is a definite flash of confusion on her face.]

You-- uh. It came to you? Shooting? Like a...vision?

[What a terrible choice of words.]

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! Like a dream, really! I saw it clear as day, but now it's sort of hazy and muddled, but I still remember most of it. I remember most things, you know. I'm a very good rememberer.

Well, except for the things I forget about.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Good and boring, really. Excitement is so much more fun. Don't you want to have grand adventures?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

...Uhuh. Um.

So you didn't just...make it up? [She was really kind of hoping...]

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

There's a commotion! But there's really nothing to worry about, truly.

Holding onto the floor might be a good idea though.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

No, not today. But I do tell very good stories.

I don't think this is a story, really. It just sort of "is", I suppose! Or maybe it isn't, but there's no way to really tell whether something is or isn't a something. Knowing is good enough.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

"A fast ship. Faster than a plane?"

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

I haven't the slightest idea! I've never been on a plane before.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Why in the world is she being reminded of Brittany?]

So it's...real. Uh. This is one of those events people were talking about, isn't it?

[hyperintuitive.livejournal.com]

No, thank you. I'd be fine without anything that even resembles an adventure. Ever.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Is it? I suppose it really all depends on what people are saying. I wouldn't know much about it at all.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

How terrible for you! That's a shame. I suppose it's good that adventures will come along anyway, while you're forgetting to look for them.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

With my fingers, as tightly as I can!
