+ 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!

A game...?

[She's instantly brought back to the island, with Mokouma and his sick laugh, the fun of the killing game...]

No... no! People's lives aren't pawns or pieces! Heroes, villains, winners, losers, that's not real! All lives have value... just like yours!

[Naturally, she's oblivious to the fact this wasn't a metaphor.]

[ With a huff, she turns around in her chair. Maybe she shouldn't have been all cryptic with it, but clearly Mikan doesn't get it. ]

This is my game, and I'm the only one who knows that. How can anyone have a life when they don't really exist?

Stop saying that! You do exist! Monika... I just... I just want to understand why everything is like this... Why you're smiling when these girls are in so much pain...

[It's a difficult struggle not to break down sobbing, though she is close.]

The Monika I met... she's nice, and kind, and wants to help people! She has a heart that wants to love and be loved!

[ Her scoff is harsh and loud. ] What pain? That would imply they know what pain is.

[ She did. Not physically, maybe, but she'd learned quickly about what other kinds existed. That was apparently her burden to bear while the others got to live on in ignorant, autonomous bliss. How lucky for them!

It's hard to describe the look on her face now. So many emotions are caught up in it. ]


But, oh yeah, that's me, right? Nice, kind, wanting-to-help-people Monika. [ The words are dripping with sarcasm, her head bobbing to exaggerate that. ] No one ever thinks anything more. I'm meant to be in the background. Why would I deserve to be happy?

[ Monika stands and steps over to Mikan, chin raised so she can properly sneer down at her. The music around them abruptly stops. ] Go figure you'd care more about them than me.

THEY'RE THE ONES WHO'RE FUCKING BLEEDING!

[Maybe it's all the stress that's been building up, or part of her newfound confidence, but she still regrets it, and quickly backs up once it's been said. She clutches her chest, trying to control her breathing.]

... I... That is... It's just... I can see their pain... That doesn't mean you don't have pain! Whatever you've been suffering... I can't tell what it is just by looking at you. Not even the best nurse or doctor can do that... We're not mind-readers! You have to talk to us!

Whatever your world is like... you're not there anymore! You're in Wonderland, don't you remember? Things don't have to be the same anymore!

Shut up.

[ She says the words in a dangerously low tone, her fists balling up and shaking at her sides. Everything being said to her was nonsense, utter bullshit. What kind of "wonderland" was this? Trapped forever, cut off from everyone? And right when she thought someone had finally come to see her, had finally understood, it happens again.

She's the afterthought. She's the background.

With a scream full of rage and frustration, she suddenly grabs Mikan by the neck, slamming her against the wall nearest the blank-faced boy. Sometimes people you love need to be made to understand. ]


This is what I will always have to live with. There's nothing for me. [ Her hand squeezes harder. ] You're supposed to fix that!

Moni -

[And that's all she gets out before she's suddenly slammed, fingers at her neck. In that splitsecond, she knows she's gone too far. Fear and panic override everything else. She needs to get out of this place, and she needs to get out now.

She chokes, struggling to speak, clawing desperately at the chokehold on her.
]

I-I'm.... I'm sorry!

[It's getting harder to speak - harder to breathe - it hurts, it hurts, she's scratching like a wild animal - ]

Mon... I... Ka...! Please...!

[ Monika glares for a moment, then she abruptly lets go of Mikan's neck. ]

You're sorry.

[ She looks away, mouth twisted into a scowl. What's she sorry for? That she told her the truth? God, those fucking nobodies were always getting all the attention!

Her head turns back. Maybe this isn't love after all. Maybe it was a sign. And since Mikan resembled the one she hated most of all, it'd be fitting for her to get the same treatment.

All of a sudden, Monika drives herself forward without a sound, plunging the dagger she'd formed in her hands into Mikan's abdomen, once, twice, three times, digging in the last stab with relish. A twisted smile forms as the blood spills over her hands, warm and thick. It's Yuri's face she sees staring back at her, and it's beautiful. ]


I guess everyone else could use some company.

[The second she's let go, Mikan gasps for air, holding her neck. God, that had been tight... she really thought Monika was going to... No, it was the event! Yes, the event was doing this, not the real Monika. Maybe now they can talk, and try to rationalize things, make her remember.]

Mo-

[And this time the name is cut off much quicker.

There's no time to react.

She'll always remember her first deaths, as they were in succession. Slowly dying in agony from the zombie virus, and then being shot in the head when she was that monster. This is... different.

Worse, perhaps. After all, the first one was her fault, for thinking that as SHSL Nurse, she could find a cure. The second, she didn't know the woman, nor could she blame her. Mikan was a zombie, and going to kill and infect others, she had to be put down. So this is...

This is...

She tastes blood. Hot tears are running down her face. Whatever strength left in her touches her stomach, trying to get to her apron, she's a nurse, must get the gauze, must heal the wounds, must attend to the patient...

Her legs give out first. She can't feel her hands. It's getting harder to see. Patient suffering severe blood loss. Punctured organs.

'Mondo. Mondo, you said you wanted to be there for me. You said you'd protect me. Mondo. Mondo, please don't be mad'...
]

Mmm...

[Is she saying Mondo? Monika? Murderer? Could be anything, could be nothing, like the last sound of a death rattle. Her eyes roll up. Her body goes limp.

'I'm sorry.'
]

[ The clang of the dagger seems to echo in the empty space. Monika breathes out a sharp sigh, shaking some blood off her hand. It was always such a pain when she had to resort to extreme measures.

She stands there above Mikan, watching the life drain out of her. Haha, literally! It was pretty poetic. Maybe she'd write a special poem while she waited for someone else to come along.

But for now? She needs to make sure her job is done. Her upper lip curls in disgust as she prods one of Mikan's arms with her foot. The movement and noise had stopped, but she knew how these things worked. This was prime jumpscare territory! So, just to be extra positive, she kicks her ribs, hard.

There's nothing. Good.

Satisfied, Monika carefully smooths down her blood spattered uniform with her stained hands, then turns away to walk back to her throne, her shoes leaving a trail of red footprints in her wake. Up the stairs she went to claim her place on high, to survey her domain. She'd clean up eventually, but for now? She had to remind herself of what was hers.

Hers, alone. ]
