Vic grumbles. "My intention was that he get a look in Alice's mind, get freaked out, and all his most tentacley creations be a result of that. Because really, when you think about it, the Queen of Hearts is pretty Cthulhuian."
"Well, it appears reality has foiled you," Alice says, patting her shoulder. "You'd think that most of his work and its derivatives having the 1920s as their favored time period would have tipped you off, though. . ."
"For some reason I was certain he was born earlier -- not thirty-five years after you were," Vic says, shaking her head. "And yeah, AL, they all share the same birth year -- except for Secundus!Alice, and she's only shoved forward five. Still not late enough. Her taking a trip to the States for a later meeting is not entirely out of the question, but it wouldn't be likely. Hence why I think it would be easier for it to be a dreamwalking thing -- who cares about physical proximity then?"
"My games canonically take place in the 1870s," Alice adds. "1873 and 74 for the first, going by the casebook, and 1875 for the sequel. There's really no way to move me around without everything going massively AU, and for once that's not what Vic was going for."
