[Scenario 1:] It doesn't take much for Claire to believe she's crossed into another world. She's already managed to travel back in time, and so while the idea of a flying ship is a bit fantastical, she's already well-braced enough to believe in six impossible things before breakfast. Though she somehow imagines even Lewis Carroll would be stunned to be confronted with what she's dealing with right now.
Standing in the harbor, Claire's vision is assaulted with the sheer variety of people milling about. She recognizes some as having more or less modern clothing, but others look as if they've come from other times, and some look instead like they've come straight from the pages of story books. Some don't even appear to be human.
She refuses to be overwhelmed. Claire starts looking around for a kind face in the hopes that someone will be able to provide her with further instruction on what she should do next.
[Scenario 3:]
[This too, is not an altogether unfamiliar scene. Claire is in a dress very reminiscient of her wedding gown, though she's still wondering at how whatever mysterious provider was able to come so close to the original design. Claire is torn between the desire to have a drink - good lord, she could use one - and to maintain her sobriety to search the never-ending sea of faces in the hopes that she will find a familiar one.
One familiar one in particular.
But it's easy to be distracted by the swirl of dancing figures, the music, and the celebratory lighting.]
