Oi! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck.

When in his bottle, Cyrus tried not to count the days. Usually, he couldn't even see day light since the grate was on the bottom of the bottle so he couldn't if he tried. But his bottle had landed on it's side in this new strange city so he'd had a view of not only the sun but the goings on of the new city.

He never thought he'd seen a realm as strange as Wonderland...but this city was coming close. The people of the city had been running around with strange powers and magic and no one seemed to be in control of themselves. What kind of realm had so many people inexperienced with magic? From the stories Alice had told him of her world, there was no magic. Maybe this was a world where magic had been introduced just recently? Who knew.

Cyrus would never know until someone found his bottle and that was only a manner of waiting. He really hated waiting. It only led his thoughts to wander and wonder where Alice was and if she was alright. Not even the distraction of watching this new world could completely purge his love from his thoughts.

It was a good day that day. Clementine had even dressed in a nice dress, a whole like what she used to do on her birthdays back home. It feels like some kind of normalcy after a week of bad things, and she's glad for it. Taking a more scenic route to her home from school, she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going, which nearly led to her stepping on an object on the ground.

She spotted it though, just in time. It was hard not to stare once she did. The bottle looked like it ought to be in an antique store, not just laying there in the street. She wondered if someone lost it, though she couldn't begin to wonder how she'd find who did.

Still, it didn't seem right to leave it where it was, where it could accidentally be broken or make someone trip. Stooping down, she carefully picked it up and started to turn it in her hands to get a closer look.
