The Story:

GARRETT HAWKE »

A »

[It wouldn't be an "everything you've ever wanted" event for Garrett 'Proud Fereldan' Hawke without a frankly absurd amount of mabari puppies. There's so many, in all shapes, sizes and colours. Somewhere under the tidal wave of puppies is Hawke, so... good luck finding him.]

B »

[Some part of him knows that this is too good to be true. That it's all the event, and that there's no doubt a cruel twist waiting at the end. The much larger part of him doesn't care because it's been such a long time since he's seen his mother, even longer since he's seen Carver and as for his father and Bethany, well... It doesn't matter, they're here now. Wonderland has given him this gift and he can't bring himself to spurn it.

So whether you're a friend of Hawke or not, you can expect to be pulled towards a family picnic if you happen to come by.]


Hey! Come meet -- There's food, too!

[Seated on the incredibly bright, incredibly gaudy blanket are Hawke's mother, Leandra,brother, Carver, sister, Bethany, and the one person who had shattered Hawke's resistance towards the event: his father, Malcolm, a man who looks like he could pass for Garrett's twin if not for the grey in his hair and beard, and the more wiry frame compared to Garrett's muscular bulk.

If you'd happened to meet Carver or Bethany when they were actually in Wonderland, the change in personalities might be noticeable in Carver's case. Carver actually seems happy to spending time with Garrett, with little of their 'friendly' rivalry present.]


JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA »

A »

[He's a teenage boy who never really left Morioh for more than day trips at most, it's only natural he'd up feeling homesick from time to time, right? So while the announcement from the resident about the upcoming event had him on edge, he wasn't expecting to wake up to find his mother kicking him awake.

...Or his grandpa to be getting ready for his --LLAND PATROL shift. That was quite a shock, and one he wasn't sure how to process at all.

Which results in the landscape flickering between nightmares and neon as he wanders around, torn between accepting Wonderland's "gift" or refusing it outright.]


B »

[He saw the broadcast about a three party harmony, but after what Wonderland did to him with this event, he's in the mood to smash some zombies to pieces. Which in Josuke's case, is a lot less... physical than you might expect? As Josuke stomps towards the zombies, the ones that get too close are quickly sent flying by... nothing at all. Though, those with Stands, the potential to see them, or even a Persona will see a pink and blue humanoid figure punching them out of the way with incredibly speed and strength.

It's not gonna kill them, but it's making him feel better.]

[ The event turned from ridiculous to cruel very fast. It would be dangerous soon enough, if Cullen's brief encounter was any indication. The fight did not strain him. What came before-- Cullen, I forgive you.

--Cullen frowns, when he hears Garrett's voice again. Younger again, he quickly notices. Does not have time to free himself from the embrace. Does not have time to gauge whether he is real this time, because this- this fantasy is not his own.
]

--Maker.

[ He knows them all, too. Some a little better than others. None well enough, he is sorry to note. Would be, if there was any truth to them. His eyes linger on the older man. He nearly knows them all, too. The missing link is not hard to guess. ]

Garrett...

[ He remembers the time Wonderland showed Garrett images of his sister. His pained look of longing for something that wasn't truly there. He doesn't like that there is no trace of that look now. ]

Is that what he looked like?

[ Cullen squeezes back, and holds Garrett. Looked, he says when he glances towards the thing, and hopes that it catches on. ]

[ Cullen holds Garrett's hand firmly, and doesn't take a single step of his own volition. A step or two he stumbles, then his feet are dug into the ground. ]

Wait. Think about this for a moment. Remember where we are.

[ He swallows. His dreams turned dangerous. He can't risk it. Maker, he's sorry he can't risk it. ]

You're not thinking clearly. Your parents are dead.

[ His palm feels cold. Cullen clenches it into a fist, and steps between Garrett and his family. ]

I would be. You know that I would be, if I'd had the chance. This isn't one. We should both go. Without them.

[ He glances back. How openly can he deny those things, before they object? Cullen keeps them in his field of vision as best he can, but it is Garrett he wants to look at most. ]

Your father passed away even before the Blight. Your sister died with it, when you fled to Kirkwall. Your mother was killed by a blood mage there. Your brother still lives, with the Grey Wardens. None of them are here.

--I'm sorry.

[ Cullen turns and glares, from Malcolm to all the others. He tries to take Garrett's hand again. They can hear it now, too. ]

They are illusions. They are trying to keep you here, with them, and Maker knows what will happen if you let them. They are not your family, they are not even real. Not one of them is.

Garrett--

[ One of them approaches. A cold shiver runs down his spine. Too close. He tries to find the right words to make his love see, but his throat closes up dry. Remember last time? Too little, too late.

Cullen squeezes Garrett's hand once, then lets go.
]

Forgive me.

[ He draws his sword in the blink of an eye, and runs it straight through the creature's chest. ]

[ He braces himself for a fight. Instead they melt into grotesque shapes, and wither and writhe until they are gone. Their surroundings twist, not into danger, but into darkness that punishes the paradise they wouldn't have. Cullen takes Garrett's hand, and pulls him away,

Further away, and the worms disappear from their sight. Further away, and all seems bright and cheerful again, overly so. Only stray worms on Garrett's robes-- Gone already, as Cullen reaches for them. He squeezes Garrett's hand tight, and doesn't dare look up.
]

I had to. I knew what they were, and I didn't- I couldn't risk finding out what they would have done to you if I'd let them.
