*Been a while since I've worked on this. :d Now that it's summer, I have time. xD Suggestions on how to improve the dialogue are always welcome*
*If some of the notes don't make sense, it's probably because they're written to help me with panel placement and angles.*
**Contains spoilers for my comic (obviously)**

-----------------------
<Possible introduction/recap by narrator>
Alcott: What...?
Luli: I said, welcome to Dreams. <walks closer to Alcott and becomes more visible>
Alcott: Dreams...?
Luli: Now now, then... Why the blank stare? How did you arrive here, young sir? Pocketwatch, is it?
Alcott: Po... Pocketwatch? <realizes he's holding the watch and lifts it up slightly> Ah...
Luli: Yes! There it is. <Snatches up the watch> Pocketwatch it is, then! <Seems to be examining the watch, then takes her umbrella and makes many swift movements with the tip to "draw" a circle design in the air. She then places the pocketwatch in the drawn circle. The clock makes a ticking noise, and the gateway to Dreams appears. As the gate appears, the pocketwatch glows and disappears>
Alcott: <Stands up in astonishment> What... is this place?!
Luli: Sigh... <puts hand on cheek> You really must learn to hear. <Shakes head> This... <opens gate> is Dreams.
<two or threee panels show scenery. Looks like an old-English town. Quaint, cute, etc... If it was in color, it would be bright with sunlight. A panel with Alcott's expression is shown>
Luli: Lovely! <Marches onward, followed by Ms. Marigold, but stops and notices Alcott's confused expression> Is something the matter? You look a bit.. baffled.
Alcott: <baffled, haha> I... <bossy nature suddenly kicks in> I demand to know what is going on here! Just who are you people? <referring to Luli and Ms. Marigold>
Luli: Who are...? <dramatic (?) expression/sudden emotiveness> Oh my! We had not introduced ourselves yet, have we? My sincerest apologies! My most deep and profuse apologies. That would sufficiently explain why you seem so baffled. <says the previous dialogue directly to Alcott/in the same panel as him> I am Luli. And this one is Ms. Marigold.
Ms. Marigold: <Says nothing, but looks up from her book to look at Alcott. This is the first time you actually get to see Ms. Marigold clearly>
Luli: Now then! Let us go in for real now, hm? <pushes Ms. Marigold and Alcott inside the gates>
Alcott: What? But-- I...
Luli: Do not worry, young sir! I shall explain everything in further detail at my mansion.
Alcott: <Looks at Luli in confusion. (Luli is not "on-screen")>
<Scene changes to the streets of Dreams. During the whole scene here, Alcott doesn't speak much because he's too confused.>
Luli: There is pleanty to do here, young sir. <Gestures toward a bakery> That is Mr. <baker's name; he has no name yet. I'm open for suggestions!>'s bakery. He works with his son, <son's name>. They do have lovely foods there. It is highly reccomended by me.
Alcott: <Looks at Baker and Son through the window>
Luli: And now we go forward! Come along, young sir. <Pulls Alcott along> Yes, yes, this way. <Panel showing music store> This here is Mr. <music man's name>'s shop. <Panel showing dress store> And this is Miss <dress lady's name>'s clothing store. I quite like her store... and Miss <dress lady's name> is such a lovely lady.
Anyhoo, onward we go! Do not fret, young sir, we are almost to the mansion. I do appreciate you looking around with me, although.
<A panel with a large rest-type area (?) and a tall clock tower in the middle is shown>
Luli: Oh, look here, young sir. This is Dreams's main square. We have some nice little shops and the like, here... Oh yes, and Mr. <librarian's name>'s library is here. Right across from the clocktower. <Panel showing tower> The clock tower can be seen from all over Dreams. That is nice, is it not? You need not even carry a pocketwatch with you. <baha. sounds weird.>
Alcott: <while Luli talks, he takes notice to a clock shop nearby>
Luli: <Takes notice> Oh? That is a funny little shop you are looking at there. <Panel showing inside of shop through window. The back of a girl is seen from within. (Arianna)> That is Mr. Woodworth's clock shop. Or rather... it is similar to his shop.
Alcott: ? <doesn't understand the remark. (It shouldn't make sense atm)>
Luli: Yes! Well! Once again, onward we go! <they arrive at the mansion's front>
