ASTRAFIELD

He had arrived at the land and while curious, especially after the curse had been curious as he attempted to figure the land out. He yawned as he blinked, frowning. He was attempting to take everything in without actually taking to going to where he had taken to staying. His dreams when he had arrived included some of the many hats that Jefferson had created during his time, the ones that were comfortable in particular. However, he took to forcing himself to remaining awake in order to properly explore, remaining as aware as he could.

Orlea

He stumbled upon Orlea and looked around with wide eyes and a yawn, attempting to find a tea shop. Perhaps there would be some good tea here. That would be something definitely worth while. He was used to places like Storybrooke, or Wonderland. Especially Wonderland. Orlea was definitely far from it. It seemed closed to one of those big cities. Like where Snow White or whatever her name was' daughter had lived before coming and saving everyone from the curse.

Mallow Hallow

Finding the land of pillows was something that definitely intrigued him. The scruffy man looked around in awe as he poked around, attempting to get a good feel of everything. He found a spot where he could lie out in the sun, letting out a soft sigh as he fell down onto the pile he found, giving a soft smile as he closed his eyes.

_{[Balfour almost runs flat into him in Orlea, having not been looking where he was going again. He was scribbling notes on a notepad instead, huffing to himself. He was more focused on what he was writing than the body in front of him. He only spares him a brief glance before apologizing.]}

Sorry.

_{[And then has to take a second look. And he sighs and rolls his eyes.]}

Are you kidding me? I mean, not to be rude, but...

_{[But there's already someone who looks like him. And now a second?]}

[garwin]

[Reid also happened to be in Orlea today, as he was most of the time since he lived, after all. He was bored as he wandered down the streets-which also wasn't a surprise to anyone, really-but the last thing that he expected to see to cure that boredom was someone like Frederick. He had to do a double take to make sure he wasn't imagining things, even. Then he just...stared. And no, he didn't care that staring was considered rude.]

You've got to be shitting me.

[Not that he was complaining. Or maybe he was. He wasn't sure just yet.]

[teanap]

You're not being rude.

[He chuckled, recovering fairly quickly from the shock of Balfour looking like him when he shaved. That said, he's currently staring at him in surprise.]

What's your name?

[Perhaps he could figure out where he was from with the name given. Of course, Jeffersons hat probably wasn't connected to it. He wouldn't truly know that though.]

[blueeyedflyboy]

There's already someone running around with my face, and now there's two.

_{[At least he's not screaming. Or freaking out. He's more in the state of mind of are you fucking kidding me?]}

My name is Balfour Vallet. You are?

[teanap]

Frederick Ormus.

[He stretched out, figuring he may as well introduce what he was called in that book of his]

The Dormouse from Wonderland.

[Sure, people might freak out about it, but the way he saw it, either someone spiked his tea at his shop, incredibly unlikely, or Regina decided she needed a better place to rule, much more likely and more believable]

Pleasure to meet you, Balfour.

[He held his hand out to shake.]

[teanap]

[He rose an eyebrow as he turned to fully face the source of the statement.]

Care to elaborate on that?

[He gave a small smile, amused by the situation. He had already met one of his two facetwins, of course.]

Name's Frederick Ormus.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Nice to meet you too.

_{[He shakes his hand, pausing a beat before continuing.]}

Where is Wonderland?

_{[Guess who doesn't have that book in his world?]}

[garwin]

Yeah.

[Reid crossed his arms over his chest, lifting his chin a little.]

You look a lot like a couple of people I know. [To put it simply. And he was starting to wonder if this whole thing was some kind of joke. Now that there were three of them.]

Astralfield

[forgotten_vows]

"AAAH!"

And around the corner comes Victor, running away from a flock of pelicans covered with white fur and with large tusks jutting out of their beaks. "Go! Scat!" he yells, waving his arms above his head. "I'm nothing more than a toothpick! Leave me alone!"

Unfortunately, he's not looking where he's going, and before he knows it, he crashes straight into the newcomer. "Oh! Do forgive me," he says, getting up while the birds finally disperse. "I'm sorry, I was just -- who dreamed those up?" he demands of the sky.

[teanap]

[He gave a handswish, dismissing the lack of knowledge as something that could easily be done and decided to give the abridged version]

Crazy place with crazy people. And lots of hookah or tea depending on where you're at.

[Gives a small shrug like it's nothing]

[blueeyedflyboy]

Hookah?

_{[He pauses, then grins brightly.]}

Though tea does sound nice. Would you like to get some with me?

[teanap]

I met one've them, I think. Balfour Vallet I think?

[He's got a fantastic memory he just doesn't know about that first name :|]

S'what's your name?

[Since. He introduced himself, here.]

[teanap]

Something the caterpillar likes to smoke from.

[Sweetheart, Balfour doesn't know of Wonderland at all.]

Sometimes smells like strawberries. And I'd love to.

[Smiles and nods at the offer]

YOUR QUICK TAGGING ALEX KEPT ME FROM HERE BECAUSE OF MY OCD AND TAGS AHEAD OF HERE. xD

[teanap]

Frederick gave a grunt as he stumbled forward, blinking before looking to him as he got up.

"It's no problem at all. This place is strange even compared to what I'm used to" He chuckled, giving a shrug. It's not like he had any reason to be ashamed of where he came from. Just what it had become when Cora appeared there.

[blueeyedflyboy]

A...smoking caterpillar? I'm sorry, but I do not believe I understand you.

_{[Still, he leads the way to the nearest teahouse, finding a seat as a waitress comes over.]}

Ooooh! Sorry XD My own tag OCD often makes me try to answer them fast

[forgotten_vows]

"I think it would be strange compared to most any place," Victor says, dusting himself off and shaking his head. "Really, the things that people imagine. . .then again, I'm probably not much better. . ."

He shakes his head again, then looks up at the newcomer. "Er -- I'm Victor Van Dort," he says, offering a hand to shake. Well, it's only polite to introduce himself after he's barreled into the guy. "Again, sorry about running into you."

[teanap]

Oh right. Never heard've Wonderland. Uhm... There're talking and aware animals in Wonderland, and the Caterpillar is one of the smartest, but he uses a hookah which is like...

[He's making hand gestures to try and explain it]

Bulbous or narrow bowl with water, at least I think there's water, that has at least one hose to go with it that you inhale smoke from. I tried once, and I didn't like it too much. But Wonderland was more cursed than anything after our queen died.

It's kinda hard to explain.

[He's following Balfour, though]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour is looking massively confused at the end of that. Really? Aware and smoking animals. A bug that smokes? So strange.]}

Cursed? How?

Re: Ooooh! Sorry XD My own tag OCD often makes me try to answer them fast

[teanap]

"Have you imagined a hat like three times your size just because you're used to seeing it every day?" Frederick laughed, smiling softly as he moved to shake his hand.

"There's nothing to apologize for. I'm Frederick D. Ormus."

[teanap]

Our queen was killed then we were overtaken by a witch named Cora. She cursed most everyone in the land in some way. For example, I was turned into a... For the sake of simplicity, narcoleptic dormouse. It's not so bad now, but if I find a comfortable enough surface, you can bet I'll sleep like a rock.

[Laughs and smiles]

[blueeyedflyboy]

Ahh, yes, I don't blame you in the least. Comfortable places are lovely. You're not based in Mallowhallow are you? The houses are made of pillows.

_{[He laughs and smiles as well, placing his order with the waitress.]}

[teanap]

[He makes his order as well after looking the menu and choices over and laughed, shaking his head at the question]

No, I'm in Astrafield. I didn't know there was a pillow place, though. Now I wanna see it.

[Laughs and smiles]

[blueeyedflyboy]

You really should. The pillows are quite comfortable and fun to bounce on if you get the chance.

_{[Balfour's order had been terribly easy. He always drank mint tea when he was able to get it.]}

It's really quite lovely.t

[forgotten_vows]

Victor blinks a few times, then shakes his head slowly. "I -- can't say I have. . . I have imagined glowing mushrooms that one can bounce on, but those were from some stories from a dear friend of mine." Well, a little more than a friend, but they never got to the "official labels" stage of their relationship, so. . . "Nothing I saw in person."

Victor shakes, smiling. "It's nice to meet you. I don't think I've seen you around here before. . ."

[garwin]

Yeah, that's him.

[Well, at least Frederick was asking. Reid tended to forget-or purposely neglect-to introduce himself for as long as possible.]

I'm Reid. Reid Garwin.

So where're you from?
