Arrival the Second

[thethirdqueen.livejournal.com]

[Alice is holding something vaguely glossy and paperish, turning it this way and that in an attempt to make sense of it. On the ground at her feet is an incredibly oversized envelope that looks about half as tall as she is with the words 'To: One Alice Liddell' written in cursive across it.]

It looks ever so different if I hold it this way instead of that way, though this way is certainly just as good as that. Bother, but I can't make heads, tails or middles of it! [She reaches down to retrieve the giant envelope] I suspect they had the wrong Alice entirely, for certainly no-one knows I am here and one must have a post-box if one is to receive letters, whereas I certainly have none. Or rather, mine is at home - where I am currently not - and so if I had received a letter, it should go there, rather than here.

[Satisfied, Alice drops the paperish thing back into the giant envelope and digs through her pockets for a pen before plopping herself on the ground to correct the error. Once she finishes, it reads 'To: One Other Alice Liddell.'] There, that shall do nicely. Now I shall have to locate Mister Lizard so he may correctly deliver it.

Hullo, have you seen a rather large lizard come by? I expect there is some manner by which to call him, but I daresay I don't know it in the least!

I have, since leaving Prox, seen and killed a number of large lizards. None of them were here, and none of them delivered letters of any size. Let alone one so ridiculously huge.

It is something one does not expect to see every-day! Though I suppose if one has been to such unusual places as Wonderlands and Looking-Glass Worlds, then it isn't quite so odd afterall. The mailmen are all rather human back home, you see, but I suspect lizards can run much faster if one has a dog or other such animal who happens to like eating such things.

Of course, I can't be certain as I have a cat, and Dinah would sooner stare at a lizard than try to eat it - though I expect she would hide beneath the bed straight-away if she saw one of such a large size!

You're getting weird mail too?

[thethirdqueen.livejournal.com]

I rather think it is someone else who is meant to be receiving it, but as I don't have much of a way in which to re-deliver it, I suppose it shall have to be mine for now.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Weird. Hawky delivered something really random to me a few days ago. It was like... [She digs into her pockets and pulls out this (http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/dp_avatars/NSWPolice_3.jpg) ad and holds it out to Alice.]

Aang says it's a picture of a girl lying on the ground with a weird string around her. It doesn't make any sense.

[...staring.] You talk a great deal.

[thethirdqueen.livejournal.com]

I have been told that rather frequently, though only by Mother and Sister and all manner of school-type people. I think I speak far less than a Caterpillar or a Mouse, but they were ever such talkative creatures, I daresay no one could talk more than they do!

[Alice's eyes widen, and she covers her mouth with a hand.] Why, that is much the same as what I mistakenly received! It is ever such a queer picture, wouldn't you say? I should think lying on concrete to be most uncomfortable.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Heh, I dunno. Lying on rock is pretty comfy to me. But yeah, it's weird that we both got the same thing. Guess it must have something to do with this place--that Plane Mail thing.
