It Had to Be You, Log 1/??? [Audio]
Hello?
[The audio crackles, buzzes into the correct tuning, and there's the click of a dial. A distinctive, very proper, English voice speaks over the comm unit. At least she's familiar with radio enough to manage this much.]
Is anyone there? This is...my name is Evelyn Carnahan, and this is not Cairo or Hamunaptra.
[A pause.]
I don't know where I am, and I was right in the middle of something very important, and this is exceedingly inconvenient. If someone could-
[Rustling noises.]
-if someone could please tell me what's going on, I need to find my brother, Jonathan, and our guide, Rick, as I was in the midst of an expedition, thank you, I'm in...I think it's a foyer.
...anyone?
[For those interested in seeing Evelyn in person, seeing as the last thing she can remember was falling into a river off of a boat, she's wearing a soaking wet nightgown. This. This will not stand. This is scandalous.]

Here. It's a pretty thorough introduction to unexplained phenomena. Nothing in it matches up with Wonderland, but it might help a little.

[She accepts the book and flips through it speculatively.]
Is this your field of study, Mr. Meltzer?
no subject
[And it's really nice to not be given the side-eye for it. Score one, Evelyn.]

What do you do, then?

[Innocent curiosity, at worst.]
All the daughter scenes with you right now
[It's no big secret, and it was either that or "looking for an underwater city." And that never goes over well.]
ALL OF THEM
[Oh, that's- That's definitely not something she wants to press.]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
no subject
[He speaks a little too fast, and mangles the pronunciation a bit as a result.]
no subject
[Interesting non-sequitur, but one she's willing to take, regardless.]
The City of the Dead. It's where my expedition was headed.
no subject
Were you searching for anything in particular?

[He's audibly sincere about this.]
Someone needs to dig this stuff up.
no subject
[She flips through the pages of the book he gave her.]
Anything to do with the subjects in here?

I'd be glad of it, thank you.
no subject
Not at all! Anything to get familiar with this library.

[He pulls out his comm unit, a clunky looking device with a neat little set of typewriter keys, and shows her his channel.]
That's how you radio for me. And I live on the second floor, room three.
no subject
Thank you very much. You've been so helpful.
