was not a fan of Portalscape Portals.
Going through a Pop-Up Portal to the next realm in the Wonderland sequence was like stepping through a door. The transition lasted a second, and other than not knowing what kind of environment you would end up in, the journey posed no physical danger.
Portalscape Portals were far more perilous. The instant you stepped through, you fell into an underground abyss that smelled like topsoil. It was a wonder that none of us dislocated a shoulder or sustained a concussion on the way down.
My hands and feet scraped against dirt and roots as I tumbled through the void. After about thirty seconds the tunnel opened up and spat me out into a massive room—the Portalscape. Regrettably, it expelled me at the top of that room, twenty feet above the ground.
