Summary: The Red Queen has thrown a carnival for everyone!
The Story:


From Friday, March 9, through Friday, March 16, the gardens and grounds of the Mansion will be a sprawling a carnival. The masked, unspeaking vendors will be selling trinkets and running free game booths. Carnival rides, exhibits, and foods represent all of the various cultures of those currently residing in the Mansion.


Of particular note, and perhaps incongruously, everything is decorated with red hearts.

Hmm...that's understandable. I don't think there's a proper way to check that each card is truthful. For that matter, do the people that have their information printed on those cards even know that it's happened? I seriously doubt they gave any sort of permission for this.

[They look on in thought.]

Why would the donation box decide now to spit out cards...? Could someone have tampered with the donation box? And if so, who...?

[choosetruth]

This is only the second time it's been here, and we still don't know who left it. Maybe it's supposed to do that. Maybe the donations from last time gave it enough power to do this.

[Maybe they should stop donating because what the fuck is the endgame here? Where are the donations going?]

[romsapience]

[Turing nods.]

With that in mind, it looks like the goal for the donation box is the same: bringing back the 'one we lost'. The first thing that comes to mind are the residents that are permanently deceased, such as the White Rabbit and the White Queen. At least this confirms that the whole anonymous posting 'Dodo' was a hoax. Not that I put much merit into that.

[It's a smart idea to take things said anonymously with a grain of salt.]

I hope we'll be able to get some more answers about the donation box soon. I should have asked the Red Queen about this when she appeared on the network...

[choosetruth]

You mean the individual who provided absolutely no proof they were who they said they are and claimed their device was "broken" so they couldn't see non-anonymous comments? But they were so believable.

[Her sarcasm is deadpan as hell, but in this case, pretty obvious.]

You'll have another chance. I find it helps to take notes of what I want to ask before the time comes.

[romsapience]

[Ah, yes, Turing should have been more conscientious about the anonymous posting. They briefly look down, letting the wave of embarrassment pass through.]

Y-Yes, well...in either case, I will take your advice. Through my own research, I've come up with a few questions to ask the residents as soon as one emerges onto the network. I will see if I can get any new information out of them...

[choosetruth]

[She nods. It's a good move.] Let me know if you learn anything.
