Who: E V E R Y O N E
Where: Everywhere that isn't one of the parties! Both Sides!
When: Sept 1st to Sept 10th
Rating: G to PG-13 (please label higher ratings, thank you!)
Summary: Wonderful parties are springing up all across Wonderland, but there are still plenty of other places to explore. This is a log for any new arrivals who want to experience different parts of Wonderland life, and any current guests not in the mood for a log or transmission of their own.

Please also see THE FOURTH WALL MASTER POST for rules, information, and all the fun parties you can visit!
The Story:

On the morning of September 1st, everyone in Wonderland, on both Real and Mirror Side, will awake to find one of four possible invitations has been shoved under their doors. The glass has been carefully removed from all mirrors, and everyone will be able to cross to and from Mirror Side with ease, without forcing any sort of swap. The Queen of Hearts' chambers, discovered in the previous event, will be mysteriously inaccessible, leading only to a tearoom.

Additionally, there will be many more Wonderland guests than usual, each of them with their own random invitation and network device (wired to make replies only). As the week goes on, as per the invitations, more and more parties will appear (and everyone is invited to all of them, whether they received an invitation or not). But who brought them here? Why are there so many parties? Who is responsible for all of this exactly?

It's anyone's guess, though if parties or riddles are not your style, then there is always plenty more to see...

[ The coffee shop is also almost always a first stop for Natasha as well, so here she is bright and early, looking far more awake and composed than anyone should before they've actually consumed any coffee. She takes in the room first, as she does every morning, and the sight of Blake's familiar figure is an impossible one to miss. Especially when his table's been empty for so many weeks now.

It rattles her in a way so little does and her breath hitches painfully for a moment as she turns to pour herself a mug of coffee, using it to give her some time to re-gather her composure before approaching his table and sinking down across from him. ]

Well. Look what the rabbit dragged in.

Mm.

[ It's like business as usual, isn't it? Blake doesn't even look up from his paperback, turning the page and then taking the time to sip at his coffee.

He's known Natasha so long now, it wouldn't even take a comment like that to alert him to her presence. The way she sits, the way she takes liberties — it's all very much her. And that's honestly what he loves about his friendship with Romanoff.

At the end of the page, he settles back in his seat and sets the book down on the tabletop, eyeing his friend from across the table. ]

Where's your twin? Don't you two go everywhere together these days?

We did.

[ Her lips quirk faintly at that, but there's a hint of wistfulness to it. ]

She got sent back a few weeks ago. Looks like I get to cause trouble solo now.

[ It doesn't quite hold up — by way of puzzle pieces, it's a poor fit — but that creeping sensation sure is suggesting a lot of things Blake isn't certain he wants to address.

Let's just pretend everything is mostly business as usual, shall we? ]

That, or you gotta be twice as efficient about it.

Well, efficient is never much of a problem for me.

[ Her lips twitch as she replies and she takes a sip of her coffee, watching him, putting things together. Or attempting to. ]

You've been gone a while yourself.

Not long enough to be forgotten.

[ Which is a joke to him, but maybe not so much to everyone else. Still, he smiles in response and props his chin in his hand. Even with encroaching concerns, he can't temper his happiness at seeing her. ]

But how long're we talkin' here, anyway? Because I was countin' on a coupla days. Like... five.

I'm not sure such a length of time actually exists.

[ Still, she's adjusted to his somewhat unique sense of humor in the time she's known him. Even shares it, to an extent. ]

No. It's been longer than that. Weeks. Much longer than it should have been for you to be sitting there knowing exactly who I am. Apparently you're a special snowflake.

Somethin' tells me that's not news to you. News to me, though — being gone like that. You sure it's not some kinda... event?

[ He finally takes a moment to look around and then back to Natasha. ]

What about Crowley?

It might be. I'm not ruling that out. But do you remember ever having an event like this before?

[ He had more memories to pull from than she did, after all.

A pause. ]

He vanished around the same time as you did.

[ The sting of her words is barely perceptible, but Natasha knows him well enough by now to see past his shields. ]

We had somethin' like this, yeah. 'Round Christmas time. Place was full up. Friend of mine that'd left came back, remembered— [ Oh. Oh. ]

So, I'm... really gone. Never thought that'd happen—

Neither did I.

[ There's something almost wistful in her tone as she watches the understanding flicker over his expression. She gives him a faint, crooked smile. ]

Congratulations?

[ He gives her a look, one that speaks of how unpleasant this idea happens to be. Blake clears his throat. ]

That's not— [ Fuck, he couldn't leave. Not after all this time. Not when— ] I promised I wouldn't. No, I— I wouldn't've. That's not possible... I promised.
