All because I chased a rabbit down its hole and fell out of reality.” You shut up and let her speak. “And I kept coming back and forth between this dimension and Earth, each time bringing something new in, like my family and my friends. And every time I did the pocket dimension, I found it got just a little bit bigger. Each time the dimension changed just a little bit, too, I think it liked having humans in it like a dream enjoys playing with the thoughts of its host. Wonderland, as we called it in the Liddell family, likes to twist and bend to grant our desires. Well, the desires of whoever fell into it, seeing as it wasn’t too long until we fed it enough of our time and dreams for it to grow large enough that other people could fall in. Dorothy, Jack the Ripper, Abigail Williams, Robin Hood, Frederick Barbarossa, the Knights Templar. People from all across time and space, without rhythm or reason, the dimension took as many souls as it could and grew so deep from their hopes and desires that we could no longer reach the way out.”
“You’re lying. That can’t possibly be true. That this world is just a- just a dumping ground for Earthen barbarian?! No, we have thousands of years of history, culture, civilization! Does that mean nothing?”
“You’re not exactly refuting my point, Lorina.”
“What?”
“Wonderland does not care for reason, though it does care for rhythm; it seeks to provide its people, many of whom are now naturally born, with everything we created on Earth. Actions, drama, love, fear, hatred, Wonderland loves it just as much as we do and will break any law of reality to provide it. You could almost call it magical in a way. Although it does enforce a few select rules to prevent the average person from seeing through its veil. I’m sure you’ve already come across them in your studies and adventures, lack of teleportation for one, and only someone with what’s now known as a Cheat Skill can play with time.”
“...You speak as though this ‘Wonderland’ is alive.”
“I think it is, in a way. Not like you or I, but it has desires, wants, needs, and seeing as I should be one of the foremost authorities on this subject, I think I know exactly what it wants.”
“...”
“Wonderland loves humanity, in all our flawed glory, and seeks to create a world that’s perfect for us. It’s a flawed mess I’ll readily admit, though despite being an afterlife for some, I wouldn’t go so far as to call this place Hell, though it isn’t Heaven either.”
