Who: EVERYONE and any skeletons they might dig up!
Where: Anywhere in Pottsfield!
When: 11/9/18 - 11/13/18 - the duration of the event
Rating: PG-13, warn if going higher
Summary: Catch all for the Pottsfield event! Everyone's been sentenced five days of manual labor by Enoch, the Great Pumpkin - who knows what they'll dig up out there?
The Story:

When you wake up, you will find yourself on the floor of a dark barn with only the clothes on your back, surrounded by pumpkin-faced on-lookers. They whisper amongst themselves, talking about the strange person who has woken up too early among them. Then one cries out "Enoch! What shall we do with them?"

And Enoch, an ominous fifteen-foot tall pumpkin creature, will lean in close to examine for himself. He will list off a number of crimes your character has supposedly committed – trespassing, destruction of property, disrupting the peace, murder, maybe some other things here and there – and by the order of the Pottsfield Chamber of Commerce, he will sentence you to what he has sentenced everyone to: five days of manual labor.

This is how you will wind up in a field in a colonial New England town with a ball and chain attached to their ankle, tending to fields, harvesting crops, and digging holes. You might have to contend with some absurdly large turkeys but...the town is strangely peaceful for a place where you just got arrested and charged with crimes you (probably) haven't committed. Sure, there are pumpkin people around who might look at you funny if you slack off, but there is food to eat and water to drink, and Enoch is graciously allowing everyone to sleep in some of the old homes in town. There even seems to be a festival going on for anyone who wants to take a break and dance and bob for apples. There is no way to leave Pottsfield, as trying to leave the town just loops you back around to the town again like it does in Wonderland. It's a little weird, but no one is actively trying to hurt anyone.

However, there's something alarming under the fields.

If you're digging holes in the fields as the great pumpkin has told you to, you will eventually start to find skeletons – but not just any skeletons. Skeletons belonging to people currently in Wonderland who have died there at some point. Death in Wonderland is terribly unnatural, you see, so Wonderland has taken the liberty of filling Pottsfield's fields with a skeleton for every “death” that has happened in Wonderland. These skeleton versions of characters will be fundamentally the same in personality, but they will talk about finally being able to join the harvest and will want to go and join the pumpkin people's festival. The pumpkin people – presumably also skeletons - will welcome them with open arms. They can be identified by their voice and by what they choose to wear for their vegetable clothing (maybe they will have a vegetable version of that hat they always wear, or maybe they've been given pumpkins that look like their usual armor) – or maybe they'll recognize you first and come say hi to their old friend!

And so the event goes, digging skeletons, harvesting crops, and celebrating the Harvest of skeleton versions of your friends. If you don't want to join the party now? Well, that's fine. You'll join them someday...

[ It certainly gave her a little bit of perspective. It was a surprise to meet the actual Snow White, and honestly, Juliet really enjoyed it. ]

Well, those a good basics. Having people that you care about is probably the most important thing.

It sure is. Without that, we got fuckin' nothing.

[That much, he totally and utterly believes. ]

If I didn't already know that at home, I would have learned it here by now.

[ If anything, Juliet wishes she'd been a little more independent. She was incredibly close to her whole family and relied on Lassiter a lot to guide her detective work, so being largely on her own--even with Shawn--was still a daunting prospect. ]

There is something to be said about being flexible, though. Not that anyone could prepare themselves for ending up in Wonderland, or what happened to you in the Homelands.
oneagainstall: (Gentlemen time please)

Pretty much. You can't prepare for everything, and you sure as shit can't prepare yourself for all the weird fuckery this place tosses at you. Best you can do is roll with it and try and survive to the next round.

I guess the trick of this place it to take it day by day. Or event by event.

[ She pushes forward a smile, even though it's not particularly convincing. ]

I'm just going to concentrate on making it out of... [ She gestures around them. ] Whatever this is.
oneagainstall: (And you sold us)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2019-01-06 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's pretty much it.

[He isn't convinced at all, but he won't point it out.]

Creepy fuckin' skeletons, basically. You want me to stick around? Make sure nothin' fucks you over?
holyshihtzu: (✺ i'll keep on moving)

[personal profile] holyshihtzu 2019-01-07 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, I'll be fine. I'm pretty sure if these things were out to get us, they would have by now. Besides, I can take care of myself. Cop, remember?

[ She might look like a 19-year-old sorority girl, but she's got this. ]

Good point, you're probably better off than a lotta people here.

[He starts to head off, to find the others.]

Good luck, then. Don't punch anyone I wouldn't punch.

[That's no one.]
holyshihtzu: (✺ defy understanding)

[personal profile] holyshihtzu 2019-01-09 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
You? Are very disturbing.

[ She points her finger at him. ]

Good luck to you, too.
oneagainstall: (But man you fooled us)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2019-01-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Comes part and parcel with the whole monster thing.

[He flashes her a toothy grin, before heading off. ENJOY YOURSELF, HE GUESSES.]
