+ 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.

Have fun!

I hope so too. B-but even if it's not, I guess even 'temporarily okay' gives us some more time to breathe, and to try to figure more stuff out.

Yeah, and we definitely can use that. Breathing. Very important.
jamminshield: (um okay)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2018-07-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I- I know, right! I love breathing! Inhaling, exhaling... It's pretty great stuff all around!
krmvgivv: (must be pouring from my sweat glands)

[Great, now they're both babbling. Dipper shakes his head.]

I just wish we had more answers. I've been studying this place forthree years now and I feel like I know even less than when I got here.

I know what that feels like... [It sums up his experiences trying to understand what's up with gems, his mom and the Diamons back home.]

But there's no reason to give up. We just have to keep on pressing on through this confusion, a-and I'm sure eventually we'll find some kind of a real answer! And hey, now that the White Queen's here, maybe she can shed light on things for us? [Or make things even more confusing. Who knows?]
krmvgivv: (then your fantasies and fears)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-07-08 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Or maybe we'll just end up with more questions. But... maybe better questions?

[It's not much. But it's the best hope he's got.]
jamminshield: (goofy shrug)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2018-07-09 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's probably more likely. But hey, better is better!
