Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore | OPEN

Who: E V E R Y O N E (Including our 4th wall guests!)
Where: Everywhere, one both Mirror and Real Side!
When: December 12th - December 18th (WEEK ONE)
Rating: PG-13, warn if going higher
Summary: This year's Ewaymas celebration rolls out the way it usually does, with intense decorating, a sudden snowfall and...far more arrivals than usual! New faces and old fill the mansion - but why would Wonderland bring so many people at once? And why do some of them remember Wonderland?
The Story:


On the evening before December 12th, the captives of Wonderland might be awoken by a loud commotion. Some of it is typical Ewaymas noise, likely familiar to anyone who has been in Wonderland for more than a year – construction sounds and jingle bells as Wonderland decks its own halls quite literally. Garland and lights race down the walls and down the stairs, and stockings appear on the walls for each and every person in Wonderland, embroidered with their names. There are decorative candles everywhere, and all sorts of decorations for every conceivable winter holiday, even if it does not align perfectly to the dates of Ewaymas. Time isn't real, so there will be menorahs and dreidels and Star of Davids even though Hanukkah ended two days prior. And of course, in the front hall, growing straight out of the floor, is a large decorated tree full of ornaments for everyone. And as always, it will have snowed heavily overnight, bringing all of the snow Wonderland will have between now and spring.

There is a second source of commotion in the night though – the sound of a crowd.

Over the course of the night, dozens of new arrivals will appear in Wonderland. Some for the first time. Some wondering how they managed to return with their memories. Others stumbling in with no recollection of ever having been here. Some might be friends from other timelines, other possibilities, and some might even be doubles of people who are already in Wonderland. It's strange for Wonderland to drag so many people into the mansion at once, but everything seems to indicate that they are supposed to be there. They have their own network devices and even have their own stockings on the wall and their own ornaments on the tree – by all accounts, it seems Wonderland expects that they'll be staying, and is treating them like any other new arrivals. Please, make them feel at home and help them settle in nicely.

The first few days will be for catching up with old friends and enjoying the decorations and settling into Wonderland. However, within a couple of days the decorations will start to glitch, much the way corrupted computer graphics might. Lights might change abruptly from multi-color to blue or white, entire décor styles will abruptly change, candle flames will flicker on and off like broken fluorescent lights, and any singing decorations might loop on a beat or two over and over putting you into an eternal hell. Wonderland doesn't seem to be able to stick to one motif, and it can't stop changing. These glitches are occurring on both the Real Side of Wonderland and the Mirror Side.

By the 15th, these glitches will include entire rooms changing into different holiday scenes. These scenes will all be of characters at various winter holidays in the past, the present (in their world), or a possible future. At this point in the event, characters will still be able to navigate the basic mansion and be able to exit these moments easily. These scenes cannot be interacted with – Wonderland seems to consider them another form of decorating. Unlike previous events of this type, these scenes will not loop at first. They will play once, and then Wonderland will glitch and correct itself to be the room it is supposed to be. The scene might play again, but it will be in a different location if it does.

By this point, Wonderland is having an increasingly difficult time holding itself together in a way that makes geographical sense. You might exit one room, even a room that was not previously playing a scene, and find yourself in the kitchen or on the roof instead of in the hallway. You might open a door that you were sure led to your room only to see a ten foot drop to the grounds outside.

This is the mingle log for WEEK ONE! For more information on this part of the event or any questions, please head over to the plot post, or check out our Fourth Wall Master Post for your other Fourth Wall event needs! Prose or [action brackets] are welcome. Please clearly indicate whether your character is on the Real Side or Mirror Side in your top levels. And of course, have fun! ♥

[Santana, at this moment, could also use a drink. she shows up, sees someone Very Familiar, and sighs heavily. she doesn't sit too close to him, just in case it's not a version of Dean she knew, but there's a spark of hope within her anyway. she's just ignoring it.]

So. Welcome back, or have you been here all this time?

[personal profile] righteously 2018-12-13 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He'll find just about every sign of recognition there is, blazing hot and ready to strike iron. Bend steel. Dean sees what he's looking for right back, it ripples over John like stones skipping across a lake, a point here, a shift there, until the whole picture's disrupted and changed and looking back at him like he's a person and not a cardboard cutout.

He remembers.

Dean went to the stables and saw the Impala wasn't there. Searched the network for anything by John Blake, nothing for months and months. His old room's empty, or gone, or however it works here, it just wasn't, and Dean's been pouring drinks into his stomach to deal with that fact for so long now that if anyone ought to be proving to anyone they're real and not an intoxicated hallucination-

So rather than plead his case or throw out the first Dean-ism he can think of (which happens to be, "Piano Man is the worst god damn song I've ever heard"), he just shakes his head. Drops Blake's shirt, drops his own wallet onto the bar top, and hoists himself over the bar in a quick move.

Rusty voiced, broken up, pissed off, so god damn relieved, all of it laces his tone at once when he barks out, "No." It's softened, though, by the way he says it at the same time as he moves in, dragging Blake forth by the shoulders into an embrace so tight it might actually be bruising.

Fuck you, Robert, he ain't taking any time to prove anything to anyone. Everything here's a god damn fever dream half the time anyway, and who needs the wasted minutes playing Winchester Jeopardy.
righteously: ([Drinking] Beer)

HEY BUDDY

[personal profile] righteously 2018-12-13 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It just so happens he's taking a sip of beer when Santana slides in, doesn't even notice her because he's got his eyes closed, head tipped back, really giving it all she's got as far as chugging down alcohol, and he's mid-swallow when her voice hits him.

So god damn long since he's heard it he actually chokes, sucks it down the wrong pipe, spews beer all over the counter top in front of him, and splutters when he tries to speak: ]


Santana?
teamfun: (It's not going to be long)

[personal profile] teamfun 2018-12-13 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns, because this...doesn't seem quite the response he was expecting.]

Wellll no. Android, and everything. But I thought that was kind of your deal? Being more like us?
teamfun: (I'm short but I'm healthy)

[personal profile] teamfun 2018-12-13 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, if you're ever worried how you'll fit into Wonderland, lemmie promise you right now that you've already got the nonsense talk down pat. So congrats on that, Dude."

At least he gets a little more specific. Louis' brow furrows.

"What...you mean like...being lactose intolerant or something? Because you can ask the closets for that, I think. Maybe? Or you could ask someone else to cook it. We got cooks here."
teamfun: (Hope that you fall in love)

Music room

[personal profile] teamfun 2018-12-13 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course Louis heads to the music room, it's one of his daily jaunts, after all. It's one of the few places in Wonderland that makes sense to him. It has music and that means it's a little island of sanity in a sea of weirdness.

Except for...you know, that little cosy family scene he just walked in on. He opens his mouth, partly to ask if he took a wrong turn, partly to question why there was a fucking frog hopping around-when it all faded back to the music room. He opens and closes his mouth a few times, then turns to the one person still standing from all that.
]

Um, Wirt? Please tell me you just saw that. Please. Because it's already getting kinda weird here with all the people showing up and I would really like to be not seeing things right now on top of it all.

[A laugh is better than a cry. The worst of the worst, she says, as though she's not just saved them from some frostbitten fingers. As much as it would have been bitterly familiar to see their hands shade over into that corpse-like pallor, it's probably for the best.]

[She hasn't done anything wrong, except ask an innocent question.]

[...the difficult part.]

[They have trouble articulating it - why these hills, why this pattern, why they don't seem to be able to move. In the end, it all boils down to one word, and it sums everything up succinctly, though not altogether clearly.]


Familiar.
teamfun: (I'm hard but I'm friendly)

Roof

[personal profile] teamfun 2018-12-13 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[The roof is much more of a brooding kind of spot, in Louis' opinion. It's the kind of place Violet would see out. She'd pull herself a piece of roof and sit on it, staring out into the nothing, probably scowling at anyone who came within five feet of her.

Louis is honestly here just for the view. Alice is a nice bonus. He grins, leaning over to wave a hand in front of the binoculars. SUDDENLY GIANT HAND???
]

Hi, Alice. Watcha lookin' at?

Of course I noticed the very obvious lack of a breach, but given what you're capable of, you're the only explanation for why I would be here instead of still on Earth-1. And this [ big gestures to indicate everything around them ] just seems like your idea of a bad joke. [ except that no one's laughing right now.

harry puts his hands on his hips and takes a deep breath as he actually... stops everything for a moment to at least somewhat pay attention to what cisco is saying. somewhat.

only to start laughing
] That's the most ridiculous thing you've ever said.

I've completed my mission. I was thinking of trying to deter whoever was wasting such effort on me.

Stockings!

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2018-12-13 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ishimaru knew from the White Queen's announcement that they were due for an influx of arrivals. Knowing that such a wave could easily include his classmates or anyone else from his world, he was on the move to try to find any! And also to make sure that what decorations he came across were arranged as neatly as possible! He was in the process of passing between rooms when he heard some loud voice saying the name 'Kiyotaka Ishimaru'.

He turns on his heel and moves right into the room.]


Excuse me! Did someone just call out my name? Could it have been you? [He calls out to back of some sharply dressed young man.] Regardless, here I am!

What is the best possible answer any Dean could ever give, Alex?

Jeopardy is fun, but having exactly what you want in the moment you want it? Way better. More satisfying than a gourmet meal, more productive than a hard day of work, more exciting than sex. It's actual goddamn magic, and he believes. For one, he believes and casts away the doubt Wonderland had always bred in him.

It's weird, sure, because John doesn't consider himself particularly lucky. He doesn't get cut any kind of break, let alone the kind that allows him to cling to his best friend after all this time. And no compromising? He might actually cry.

"Asshole," he sighs, and at this point it might as well be a pet name for the way he uses it. Not just any asshole, either, but his— Well, you get the picture. It's the Dean, not just a Dean, and this is Wonderland, and the both remember. Against (almost) all odds.

Neglecting to release his hold, he's the one with fingers wrapped tightly in fabric now, refusing to release for fear that Winchester might up and evaporate in front of him, as if he could stop it if Wonderland wanted it to happen.

"I'm so sorry," Blake says, although he doesn't elaborate as to why. Instead, he squeezes, and pulls back to look, really look.

"What happened?" So preemptive.

"You okay?" He can't stop.

"What—? How long—? Are you—? A-am I—? Is this really real?"

And then he's back into that hug, verily clinging like he's needed this. God, because he's needed this and it's been delivered and he can't let go, not again, not again...
battlefront: and it hurts so bad (Hope that you fall in love)

it's been so long i barely even remember the last thing clog was doing forgive meeee

[personal profile] battlefront 2018-12-14 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He'd fallen asleep.

That's about the extend of... well, however long it's been since he roamed these halls. It's a little disorienting, and it takes time to get back into a routine, but he manages. It helps when there's familiar faces around, too.

Like... this one?

Sort of.

Tim looks like death took a trip to the beach. And got pummeled by a shark. And had to recover by becoming some kind of bizarre mountain man for a few years.

In a less kinder sense, he looks like absolute shit.

But Cloud still smiles faintly, approaching warily. He knows what it's like.]


Man. Haven't they been feedin' you here?
changeitroundsome: (And if it's not right)

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2018-12-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[My my, she's an interesting one. Facilier doesn't know her, he doesn't what she's about, but he can change that. His own smile widens, yes. Yes this will do nicely. He waves a hand to the chair across from him, his other offering up his cards.]

And such a pretty smile it is, too! Please take a seat, and shuffle these here card for me, then pick three. I can do the rest.

[One day he'll learn not to fuck with otherwordly forces that can fuck with him harder. Today is not that day.]
changeitroundsome: (Have to make a little bit of mischief)

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2018-12-14 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That sure is a happy smile, it's almost like she's glad to see him. He wonders, briefly, if she's part of all this. There's magic in her, he can tell that much. One eyebrow arches.]

Well, all of us are from one home or the other, jus' stands to reason.

[He...wasn't expecting that. Like the book? He's already just got through one ordeal which was a little too like a fairytale for his own liking. Not that he didn't have a hand in that part, of course. Still, if Naveen hadn't gone and decided he needed to kiss himself a damn princess, none of that mess would have happened. ]

So. Does that mean I'm going to spend my time paintin' some flowers?

[He'll humour her, for now. ]
indirectcause: (A self-inflicted murder)

[personal profile] indirectcause 2018-12-14 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[The lady isn't exactly what he's expecting- but then he doesn't know what he's expecting. He's fairly certain this is just some awful afterlife. He offers her a small smile, his shoulders hunched. There's a hunted look to him, like he's expecting something to just leap out at him at any second. ]

I...thanks. I'm still getting used to this whole... everything. I haven't had a whole lot of food for a while.

[And now he has everything. At a wish. He pauses. He doesn't trust strangers that much. People outside of your group are dangerous. But only one of his group is here right now, and she's...complicated.]

Hi. I'm Ben.
oversight: ([±] waitin' round)

[personal profile] oversight 2018-12-14 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ John squints. By now he's pretty sure he knows this isn't going to last, and he also knows that not every familiar face is going to recognize him back, but he has a feeling about this one. ]

Honeymoon, huh? How long'd you been engaged?

[ This is totally the most casual way to see if she's the same Santana he'd met before, sure. Who doesn't love small talk? ]

not gonna lie, though, Santana's pleased to learn that he does remember her. at least there's that.]


You good? 'Cause I never learned CPR or whatever.

[Jean let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when Mikasa stood down. She was at least a little less dangerous now. Hopefully she wouldn't try to do something like, I dunno, tackle passerby and hold them at bladepoint for information. That sounded like something she'd do.]

They aren't here. Or more accurately, you aren't there. It's going to take awhile before anything really starts to make sense...

But you're safe here. Right now. I know it doesn't seem like it, but you are.

December 12th
[Something felt very different today. Not in the usual event-happening-different. This felt…new. He could feel it in his bones.

It was odd at first to see an influx of people outside in the blanketed snow, but it was when he looked on the network, at the White Queen’s recording, that something clicked.

So many new people are here. So many potential friends.

And…a glimmer of hope that his loved ones that have left Wonderland have returned.

He cannot take this for granted. He eagerly bursts out of him room and starts searching around the mansion and the grounds for any signs of a familiar face…as well as anyone who appears to look very cool (which is everybody).
]

December 15th
[Welp. This was definitely not the kitchen. He almost leaped up in surprise when he saw the big tree lined up with presents that he once passed by countless times when he was still living in the underground.

It had been so long since he last saw Snowdin - even when he was still living underground. After being crowned king, his visits to his old hometown were infrequent, and was mostly for business. But now, seeing what things once were, he couldn’t help but try to get closer to the tree…

Instantly, the room glitched back to its normal, kitchen form. Papyrus crossed his arms, frustrated, but also…concerned. It has been a while since he last thought about everyone still in the underground. He knew that time wasn’t really passing back in his world at the moment, but still.

The room glitches again, and once again the tree and presents appear.
]



[He’s not sure what to think.]

[There are a lot of new people showing up, and it's starting to get a little daunting. Sunburst still isn't sure what the White Queen did, but he's absolutely certain there are going to be some pretty awful consequences from her playing around with magic she probably shouldn't be touching.

So when he sees a much younger Claire, he assumes that's what this is. Magical feedback. Sweet Celestia, he hopes it doesn't make him younger, either. He's been deaged twice now, and that's two times too many. He edges a little closer, not sure if she'll remember him or not like this. It doesn't matter if she doesn't, she's his friend and he feels he should do something to help her, if he can.
]

Um. Are you okay?

[Sorry, Claire, the talking unicorn probably isn't helping with that lost mind theory.]
