+ 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!

[YEAH THEY SURE DON'T.

No one goes looking for redemption. She sure didn't want it until exactly the wrong moment, until Twilight managed to get through to her. And Starlight's no Twilight. She doesn't know if she's good enough at it to start redeeming villains.

She just has to try. Since it's Sunburst.]


What happened to your eyes?

[It would be a good effort on her part, likely futile, but good all the same. ]

I found a dark magic spell. Unfortunate side effect. I can see out of them fine.

[Good old, mind corrupting dark magic. It's the best. ]

Did you consider not trying dark magic?

[Just, you know, a thought.]

[He lets out a derisive snort. ]

What? And be as pathetic and useless as he is?

[He nods in the general direction where his Real is in the stands. Of course, his power is no stronger, can't change what you're born with- but he sure feels more powerful. ]

[Rude! Rude! She glares at him, taking a step towards him.]

He is the smartest pony I know, and brave besides. His magic might not be powerful, but he still saved the Crystal Empire just by having read a lot. What have you done?

You have an awful lot of faith in somepony who abandoned you.

[There's a certain amount of quietly seething hurt in that. How did SHE get over it? He didn't. ]

Not a whole lot, considering I'm a Mirror and all. But either way, I'm not interested in heroics. Not my style.

I guess I just feel like when I spent the last few years brainwashing and enslaving people, him not writing me just… doesn't seem like quite as bad in comparison.

[She's lucky anyone wants to be friends with her at this point.]

If you say so. I'd still say the abandonment thing is well worth holding a grudge over.

[He only says this because he lives in Grudgetown 24/7. ]

Really? I'd never have guessed.

[Seriously have you seen yourself, Sunburst.]

I hope I can change your mind someday.

[He has and he thinks it's great (it's not great) ]

You keep right on hoping that. See where it gets you.
