+ Your Princess Is in another...Palace +

Who: Everyone!
Where: All over Wonderland
When: Friday, 8/24 - Monday, 8/27
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Palaces! This log is for Palace Rulers to post descriptions of their palaces, and for unaffected characters to wander in and out of them.
The Story:

Palace rulers: These are the characters who experience the bout of lightheadedness and spontaneously manifest a Palace starting at noon on 8/24. As soon as the palace forms, the character is essentially sucked into their Palace and made to play the part of the ruler.

These characters will forget they were ever in Wonderland or indeed had any other life outside of their Palace. If Character A's Palace took the form of her living her dream as a world-famous surfer where the oceans are made of cotton candy, she would always believe she'd been a surfer and that oceans have always been made of cotton candy. Any characters who entered her Palace would merely seem like visitors or intruders to the beach. Maybe they're surf fans, too?

It is possible to "wake" a Person from their Palace if one were to kill them (easy mode... if a bit violent) or make them see it's merely a mental construct (hard mode). If a person were to die inside their Palace, however, it would count as a mansion death. There are no real ways to "unmake" these Palaces other than to snap the person out of it or wait for them to run their course.

Palaces are tied to locations that characters frequent or find special meaning in. They do not outwardly change the appearance of the mansion--the clinic will still look like the clinic on the outside, but crossing inside takes you into the mental landscape of that affected character, and it may look however that player chooses it to.

Unaffected characters: Congratulations, you get to explore other characters’ inner world by visiting their Palaces! There is also a chance of danger should a character enter into a Palace whose ruler is likely to see them as a threat. Should Character A as described above not want a person there, sharks on legs might rise from the ocean and attempt to chase them off. (Sorry about that.)

However, there will always be a way to escape a Palace should you need to. There will always be a door leading back to the normal mansion, though no one else in the Palace will be able to see it aside from the unaffected character. If you entered the clinic and it's a barren hellscape, the clinic door will take you back out. Yay!

It is also possible for characters to see cognitive clones of themselves inside someone else's Palace if that person has a mental image of them. How these cognitive versions behave is, however, entirely up to the Palace ruler, whether realistic or not.

See the Bulletin Board for details on the event. You can also go to the plotting post to see what everyone else is doing!

[He rolls his eyes toward the door then.]

This is unnecessarily dramatic. Is there a purpose behind all this?

[ Monika places her hands on his, gripping them firmly. She's tempted to hold on harder, but she wouldn't want to dig her nails into his skin and risk hurting him, even a little. ]

This isn't dramatic. I'm only trying to protect you, Leo. [ Added quickly: ] Doctor.

[ See? She's learning!

She pushes up out of her chair enough to lean close to him, enough to feel his breath hitting her skin. ]


I want to give you true happiness, a kind that the world out there can't offer. Whatever you want, whatever you need, whatever I can do to put a smile on your face, I'll do it. And no one's going to take that from us.

[ she's trying entirely too hard. He's only afraid of one person, and a mouthy little AI is most definitely not him. ]

I'm afraid that smiling isn't something I do much. But I'm sure there's something else you can manage.

[ he tanks his arms back in to draw her forward, tilting his head to kiss her, fully on the mouth. ]

[ Monika's eyes widen, her gasp getting cut off by his mouth before it can even come out. It all happened so fast, so suddenly, her brain's still a few seconds behind, too stupefied to catch up.

Then it does.

It's a kiss. A real kiss. A sensation she'd dreamed of endlessly. People would probably find it hilarious how many scenarios she'd come up with in her head when it came to this moment. Because of all kisses? It was the first one that mattered most.

Her hands shake and her hold on him loosens as her eyes finally flutter shut. All of her fanciful scenarios never taught her what to do in return, so she's momentarily frozen there, hardly reacting. But slowly, some sort of natural instinct seems to take over, and her lips start to move against his.

Sinking fully into the moment, Monika kisses him back. ]
hypoxic: (you'll remember this moment)

[When she loosens her grip on him, he'll reach for her instead, snatching her shoulders and pulling her close. And then he'll give her a long stare afterward, big blue eyes piercing into hers.]

You don't need the show when you already have me. Don't try so hard.
255000255000255: (Somber)

[ She makes a soft noise of surprise, blinking rapidly at the change of events. Her chest heaves as she stares uncertainly into those eyes, any words she wants to say floating out of her head.

Her brow furrows and she tilts her head slightly. For a split second, she felt something. Was it some sort of déjà vu? Was being so close to him playing tricks on her mind? She honestly felt like she'd known him already somehow.

However, the moment passes and she dips her head in shame. It feels wrong to look at him. ]


I-I'm sorry. Did I upset you?
hypoxic: (if you sink deep)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2018-08-28 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And there she is, tamed again. She's too easy.]

Not yet. You didn't know better before. But you do now. I know you won't repeat the mistake.
255000255000255: (I'm 12 years old and what is this)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-08-28 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Monika smiles a little, but it's not a very strong one. With a small nod, she pulls herself away and sits, placing her hands in her lap. ]

Of course I won't! I don't think I'd forgive myself if I ever did upset you!

[ Gosh. Already, he's looking out for her, helping her improve. His thoughtfulness knows no bounds! The thought of that warms the icy fear that'd settled in her chest. ]

Again, sorry. I'll do my best to stop getting carried away. Love makes people do some crazy things, right?

[ There's a pause. Despite it all, she'd really love to kiss him again. She nibbles on her lower lip, eyes flicking to his mouth. ]

I'll--I'll listen to your suggestions this time. I promise.

[ there's the faintest hint of a smile at the edge of his mouth. ]

You might be on to something there. [ he thinks of his Ophelia, and the depths he'll go through to be reunited with her. He hopes she knows what he's doing here to further her cause. Their cause. This girl is just a means toward the only end that matters. ]
255000255000255: (Kind)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-08-30 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Being so hyper-aware of his reactions, always searching for any trace of happiness, the smile heartens her so deeply she can't help a squeal of joy. He's happy! He cares!

She returns to her chair, taking his hands again. All was well again in their world. ]


Love is the only reason to live! [ Her fingers brush along his skin softly. ] Words can't express how much it means that you gave my life meaning again.

[ A beat. Here come his most favorite of words... ]

Oh, but I have a poem that I've been working on that might work!
