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...

[Souji has been wandering around since people started pouring in. He's seen evens like this one before, though there have never been quite so many party venues in the past. Usually that kind of thing is limited to the ballroom, so this seems over the top to him.

While he doesn't mind being around other people and even talking to some of them, especially those he remembers from past stays, there are times when he does wander away from the more populated areas. There seem to be fewer of those as time passes, and he finds himself edging closer and closer to the forest.

The light outside is starting to dim, making the bright party venues stand out even more some distance away, when he comes upon Antimony. He never learned much about her blinker stone and how she used it, but she looks busy so he stands a little ways away. If she notices him or pauses in her...whatever she's doing, then he'll say hi. But he won't interrupt her.]

[fireheaded]

[When she enters the ether and looks around at Wonderland's magic, she's a bit distracted. There is a lot more magic here than usual, likely with the addition of all the new people. Though it could also be Wonderland's magic in flux. It's hard to tell without a closer look.

In grey, a boy approaches. Blue light shines from within him, but he's not quite in the ether. Her eyes snap open, and she looks over at him in the physical world.]

Souji! [She hadn't expected a familiar face amid all the strangers to suddenly show up. She smiles at him, a little hesitant because she doesn't know for sure how long it's been here.] I... trust it has been a while. Nothing is quite the way I left it.

[He smiles a little when she greets him and nods to her.]

It's been a while. But all of this [he gestures back toward the mansion...s] is pretty new. It's just been a couple days.

[fireheaded]

I see. I wonder if all of these people are here for good, or just as part of some sort of event...

[Including herself, actually. But let's not think about that too hard.]

I can't tell if Wonderland's magic has increased or if there's just a higher concentration of magical people. Or both. It all sort of... blends together. That's what I was doing, just now. Checking on the ether.

[Just in case that wasn't obvious.]

I saw your Persona magic, though. Well, an indication that it exists. A blue light shining. I'd never seen it before. [And he never did end up showing it to her.]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji had been preparing his "this kind of thing happens sometimes" speech, but he blinks at that last part. It's interesting to learn how other types of magic (or non-magic) pick up his Personas--once, he'd been told he had too many souls, or fragments of souls anyway.]

I've never heard it described that way. [He's not sure if he should be proud, but he's definitely curious. He wonders how bright it was.]

What does everything else look like? [He gestures back at the parties across the way.]
