[Jezebel is looking a little less disheveled and confused than the last time he posted. He's still bearing a long scar across his neck, but otherwise looks relatively at ease. His clothes are still very Victorian-era, with a waistcoat and chain and pince-nez glasses.]

Now that everyone in this place seems to be a little bit more...themselves, I suppose, I have a question to ask.

It seems that a great deal of people here are from Earth or some version of it, even if those Earths seem to differ amongst themselves. My question is, if you hail from one of these Earths, when are you from? What year was it when you arrived here?

When I died and found myself in this place, it was June 28th, 1898. As far as I am able to tell, the vast majority of people who came her from Earth arrived from the 20th and 21st centuries, which I missed narrowly. Is anyone else from a time earlier than that?

Oh! You're not too far ahead of me, sir! In Oxford, it was November, 1865 where I was from!

Oh but, I'm quite sorry to hear you passed, sir.

Ah, so there is at least one other person here from the same century, then. And same country as well, if you are from Oxford.

That is kind of you, but it is fine. I can't say I'm particularly upset by it.

Oh, are you from England, too? That's wonderful!

I am. I lived most of my life in London.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir. Ah, my name is Alice Liddell, what's your name?

[...wait, what. WHAT.]

...it's nice to meet you. My name is Dr. Jezebel Disraeli.

A pleasure, Dr. Disraeli! I hope you have a very pleasant stay here in Genessia or any which city you decide to stay in.

Thank you.

[And then, because his curiosity's piqued:]

Where did your name come from, may I ask? [Maybe her parents were big fans of the book? ...which came out in 1865, so after she was born. Hm.]

Well, from my mother and father, sir. But if you mean if I'm named after another Alice, no. I'm the first Alice in the Liddell family as far as I know!

[....well. That's just eerie, then. And it doesn't help that she looks a little bit like his sort-of step-sister.]

I see.

[Maybe it's a coincidence!!]

Well. It's a nice name, then.

I'm very partial to it, certainly!

And you have a very pretty name!

Thank you. [~~THANK YOU LITTLE GIRL WHO IS THE ONLY PERSON NOT SMIRKING AT HIS NAME~~] Do you know if there are others here that are from England as well?

From England? Mnn, I think one or two others. Cheshire and Mr. Hatter are from Wonderland which you can get to from England, but I don't think that really counts.

[...WELL THEN.]

...I see. And how does one get to Wonderland?

[THIS IS TOO WEIRD WHAT IS HAPPENING]

Well, I got there by following the White Rabbit, but I suppose there are other ways, I simply don't know them.

I see. [WHAAAAAT] And how did you come back?

I woke up, simple as that.

I see. How very direct. [what is this what is happening]

I can ask Cheshire of Mr. Hatter if there are other ways of leaving Wonderland, if you would like, doctor?

[~~There's MORE of them!~~]

If you like. Are there many beings from Wonderland here?

Oh, well, not that I'm aware of. There's the Cheshire Cat and Mr. Hatter. But I don't know if there's more than that. I suppose the White Rabbit could be about, he can be anywhere and you'd never notice with how quick he is.

I suppose you're right. Hard to know with so many people about. Or more could appear. [HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY HE IS STILL REELING[

And maybe more people will come from your home as well, sir!

[Hoo boy watch Jezebel full-body freeze for a moment, his expression blanching in horror at the idea of his father or someone similar rolling into town.]

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

[She watches him freeze but kindly doesn't pry. She instead, changes the subject.]

Well, either way, there are simply lovely people here.

I'm sure there are. [Lovelier than the people back home at least!] So that'll be good to have about, I suppose.

I hope you have a very nice stay here, doctor.

Thank you. You're very kind.

[Someone else who has died and been brought back... and so open about the fact... You can bet she is making note of this]

The Western date was 1864 Japan for myself. 1878* for my husband.

[ooc; or 1879, not sure how much time actually passed from the beginning to the end of the Kyoto arc]

Edited 2018-11-07 01:51 (UTC)

Ah, so a few more denizens from the same century, then. Is your husband from Japan as well?

He is, yes.

It is good to see others from the same time period then, though I imagine our experiences were very different.

I am sure. You are from the west?

[Because if you don't look Asian to her you are just from the west :|]

[Heee well she's not wrong]

Yes, I am. I come from England -- I was in London before I came here.

I see.

Are you deceased as well?

[It takes her a while to respond because she isn't sure whether she should reply truthfully or at all.]

Yes.

My sympathies, then.

Likewise.

2036 for me, though I can remember back... quite a long ways. [Says the guy who looks maybe 20.] Why do you ask?

I wanted to know if I was the furthest back in time for those from Earth. It is odd to think of my own era being entirely in the past for the people here.

There are a few here from the 1400s. At least three, that I'm aware of.

Interesting. Would you happen to know from which part of Earth they came from?

Southeastern Europe. I wouldn't recommend seeking them out. They're very private people, for the most part.

Very well, I can understand that. I've no desire to go digging into anything people want hidden here, at any rate.

You ask that with the common assumption that people are all going to have similar calendars.

As for me. I'm from every time. I'm basically omnipotent at this point. Or was.

I see. I admit, I did not think of such a thing. How exactly would that work, if I might ask?

Well, it's not something I'd expect you to consider unless you were building an exact timeline... If your interest is the general concept of people being from different times, then, you're on the right track.

For me, my home world had twelve months of 30 to 31, sometimes 28 or 29, days. My birth year was in the year 2000, and my birth month was October.

[On the flip side:] My current duty is to guard multiple worlds and timelines. When there's an inconsistency, I go to fix it. So I'm constantly hopping between times and places.

...I see. [He doesn't, but he's trying.] What sort of inconsistencies would those be?
