+ The Time Has Come, the Time Is Now +

Who: Everyone in Wonderland!
Where: The chessboard hills
When: Monday, June 11, all day starting at 10:00 AM
Rating: R for (sometimes excessive) violence
Summary: The Queen of Hearts has declared war and the time for battle has come.
The Story:
♥ ICly, the Real Things who will act as pieces volunteered and are led by the Red Queen. The Mirrors were chosen by the Queen of Hearts without being given a choice. The Queen of Hearts announced her choices to her Mirrors very directly, with an order to show up at 10:00 AM on the chessboard, ready to fight. The Red Queen announced her choices more politely, but just as firmly, with a text message sent out over the network listing her pieces and requesting their assistance to protect their fellow Real Things. Characters were not ICly able to respond to this message.

♥ Those pieces who choose to obey the summons will have time to gather any items or weapons they might want to have with them, within reason. Those who don't heed the summons will find themselves suddenly and instantly transported to their square on the chessboard when 10:00 AM rolls around. They will arrive with anything that was on their person at the time, as well as one weapon (whatever it would be normal for them to use). Likewise, any spectators who are not in or around the stands by 10:00 AM will find themselves transported there.

♥ Each player sports an armband, white for the Real Things and Black for the Mirrors, with the shape of their assigned chess piece embroidered in the opposite color. Royalty pieces wear crowns indicative of their status. Should a pawn be promoted to queen, a crown will appear on their head.

♥ Pieces will find that they can't leave their assigned spots until they're told what square to move to by either the Queen of Hearts or the Red Queen. And if they refuse to move, after a couple of moments, an unseen force will scoot them along to their new space.

♥ When threading moves on the board, please find the appropriate top-level under which to comment! It might be helpful to label your thread with which move/encounter you're playing out.

♥ Players on the board can not communicate with those in the stands and vice versa (other than by jumping around and flailing, I guess). However, players on the board can communicate directly with those in squares adjacent to them or with any challenger whose square they share. Since some pieces have a lot of down time, feel free to have them chat with others on the board while they're waiting around.

♥ Directions from the Queens can be assumed. Go ahead and play out moves without waiting for a comment to officially announce them.

♥ The plotting and info post for this log is here.

♥ For your convenience, here are links to the thread headers:

Have fun!

[ Oh dear God. She does not need this right now. Maybe she'll just pretend she didn't hear him!

Ugh, no. He'll probably get unbearable if she does. Jealous lovers, she swears.

Monika puts on a bright smile. Nothing but happiness and cheer here! ]


Only anyone that tries to hurt me, ahaha! [ She rests the blunt end of the machete on one of her shoulders, trying to look as cool and badass as possible. ] Not that I really want to use it, though. I tend to prefer a nonviolent approach to conflict!

Riiiight cause nonviolent people always carry around big machetes.

[It would be good to hear if he even remotely believed her.]

Just stay out of trouble.
255000255000255: (^_^)

[ Inwardly, she is so annoyed. Who is he, her non-existent father? Like, God, she's kept her love for Wirt safely tucked away so she's not interfering with a happy couple! What more does he want? A signed contract??

Seriously, telling her to stay out of trouble? Ha! Maybe he wouldn't worry so much about that if she tested her new, shiny weapon on him. It'd be easy enough to "trip" the point into his neck. She couldn't be blamed! She's so bad with weapons and all. And if she accidentally tripped a few more times at his chest, well. More~ Unfortunate~ Accidents~

Outwardly, she laughs sweetly. ]


It'd be kind of stupid for me to come to a battle unprepared, wouldn't it? Not everyone's going to want to talk things out.

[ She tilts her head, her smile widening. ] Still, I'll try not to let you down!
krmvgivv: (woodside drive an hour after sunset)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-06-11 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, you have an actual body, so that's more prepared than usual, right? Though I guess it's also more vulnerable than usual. Can computer programs feel pain normally?

[He really is just curious, though perhaps it's not the most tactful question to ask a girl holding a giant machete.]
255000255000255: (Omg)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-06-11 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The smile's wiped off her face immediately. Fear wells up in her throat, forming a painful lump.

She wants to believe she heard him wrong. There's no way he could--only a few people--

Her free hand starts to tremble ever so slightly.

Wirt.

Monika covers up her abrupt break in character with more laughter. The seething rage is making things a tiny bit more difficult, but she's used to putting on a happy face in the presence of constant fuckery. ]


Have you been reading too much Asimov? What a weird question!
krmvgivv: (shrug)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-06-14 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, come on, do you really think you're the first self-aware boy-crazy AI I've met?

[....yes, she probably does think that. This is not a problem most people have.]
255000255000255: (What?)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-06-14 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So that's what she's been reduced to? Is that what she really is? He may as well have shoved the machete into her chest. It would've hurt a lot less.

Monika takes a step backward, her cheer disappearing by the second, nothing but an anemic smile left in its place. ]


Ahaha. So weird.

[ He won't see her cry he won't see her cry he won't see her cry ]

At least I know how you really feel now.
krmvgivv: (that i say i believe)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-06-18 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[...oops, that may have... come off as meaner than he meant it to. He falters as well, giving her a slight frown.]

Look, it's fine so long as you don't start going all murdery when people don't want to date you. My sister can be a little boy crazy too. You just... have to learn to read people a little better when they're not interested.
255000255000255: (...)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-06-18 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't think I'm trying to learn how to do all this stuff?

[ She crosses her arms, her brow tight as she looks away. Tears are still threatening to spill out and she's so not letting him get that satisfaction. ]

Yeah, maybe I'm not...r-real. That doesn't mean I can't want the things that normal people get. Do you know how hard it is to spend every day watching everyone here just, I don't know, doing things? [ She shuts her eyes briefly. ] Maybe I'm boy crazy. Maybe I don't, like, handle things properly. But that's because I've never learned how. The only way I'm going to is if I make mistakes and learn from them.

[ She grimaces with a dismissive snort. ] And I don't get murdery.

[ Her friends back home didn't count. Lines of code can't be killed! ]

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-06-21 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Good, stay not murdery and we won't have a problem.

[Call him paranoid, but she gives off a really strong Giffany vibe. He doesn't trust it.]

Maybe just.... work on friendships first? I do think you can learn. But you can't assume someone's your boyfriend just cause they're nice to you.
255000255000255: (That's stupid)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-06-28 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
And you can't keep assuming things about me without even knowing me! How's it fair that you get to keep getting to do that? Jeez!

[ She throws her hands up in frustration then drops them with a huff. ] Besides, I'm not going to spend all my time here trying to keep you satisfied. I've already had my life out of my hands for too long. What's so wrong with letting me live it for once?
krmvgivv: (shut up old man)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-06-28 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What am I assuming? That you said Wirt was your boyfriend and he definitely wasn't consulted? That's not assuming. That's literally exactly what happened.

I don't care what you do unless it starts hurting people. Is that really so much to ask?
255000255000255: (How could you)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-07-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ This is getting so frustrating. The temptation to hurt him is growing. ]

That's all in the past! I was dumb and he clearly made his choice and I'm done with that! I've moved on, so why can't you?

[ She grits her teeth, feeling the tears budding in her eyes. Dammit. ] I don't know what parts of me are programmed or if that's even the case. I don't even know what I really am. All I want to do today is enjoy what little taste of freedom I get. Why can't you let me have that?
krmvgivv: (ask anyone who knows me)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-07-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He waves an arm out to the side.]

I'm not stopping you. Though I'm still concerned that asking you not to murder people is limiting your freedom so much.

[He'll be keeping an eye on her.]
255000255000255: (Delete!)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-07-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my God.

[ She scrubs at her face, a sudden fire in her eyes that probably'd make his hunches about her seem to have some truth to them. ] Be sure to give me the supposed list of people I've murdered, or plan to murder, or whatever, because I'd love to see it someday. Till then? I'm gonna go fight for the people I care about, because surprise! Caring's something I'm capable of!

[ With a sharp huff, she grabs her machete and stomps away. ]
