+ 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!

Yeah, right, I've seen you there!

[It takes her a moment to realize that this conversation is not the sort of thing you have right before a big fight. But... hell. She needs to get her mind off the row of Mirrors standing across the field, looking all menacing.]

Though I'd usually talk to Chara. Wowser, seven years... [She trails off, looking away. She's not sure what to say to that- 'sorry' doesn't quite seem right. And now the thought of another four or five years in Wonderland is hanging over her.]

[It's true that this is an odd time to make someone's acquaintance. But it seems like Max is a little less nervous now, so that's good.]

How long have you been here?

[He feels a little bad, really. He doesn't keep up with newcomers as much as he used to and it's led to him not knowing a lot of the people who've been there for a while either.]
mypartnerintime: (Thanks for the morning grope)

[personal profile] mypartnerintime 2018-07-16 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Two and a half years.

[She shrugs. When she'd been in Wonderland for a month, two years seemed like an incredibly long time. And now it doesn't. Maybe if (and when) she hits seven years, it won't seem so long.]

That's about one year of thrills, one year of spills, and half a year of I-don't-even-knows.

[She ticks them off one by one on her fingers. Funnily enough she can break down the years pretty clearly into good times and bad ones.]

I guess it would be worse.

It could be.

[It always could be.]

But thinking or knowing that doesn't really change the current situation. It could always be better, too.

[His eyes scan the other side of the field.]

I think right now it could be better.
mypartnerintime: (Never minding what state I'm in)

I did in fact mean 'could'!

[personal profile] mypartnerintime 2018-07-19 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I agree with that.

[She scans the opposite side as well, following Souji's gaze.]

Good luck to us?
eatsyourscience: (but a bitch ain't one)

Ha, I fortuitously misread it then!

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2018-07-19 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Even if they're choosing where we go, it's still luck for us...

[Not very comforting.]

Remember: You can forfeit.

I'll... keep it in mind.

[It does little to ease the worry in her expression as she eyes the Mirrors.]

Thanks.
eatsyourscience: (you can stand under my umbrella)

[He offers her a smile that's both apologetic and encouraging.]

Don't give up. It'll be over soon enough.
