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! ♥

[Shepard, he says, throwing her name to the ground like a gauntlet, like a talisman. Hatred unfurls, heat coiling under his chest like a smoking gun, powering him forward. The door slips open a crack and he slams into it full force.]

[His glower is shadowed by the uneven falling of his hair into his eyes, his teeth bared.]

[Static rips across the words, the ripcord-buzz of rage tunneled through digital filters.]


She isn't going to fucking s̩̹̣a̛͌ͣv̲᷁̿ê̞̅ y̦͒̏o᷊ͤͣu̬̠̣.

I'm not really sure. I-- [It hits him all of a sudden, and he gasps and looks down.] Greg!

[There he is, safe and sound. It's even more emotionally overwhelming than seeing a potential Christmas future, and Wirt's eyes are watering from relief. He drops to his knees and pulls Greg into the biggest, tightest hug he's ever given him.]

Oh my god, you're okay! The Beast didn't-- Greg, I-I'm so. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything I'm sorry I got us lost in the first place and that you...you...I-I couldn't.

[He can't even finish. He's just crying harder and hugging Greg. It's been a long few months since he came back to Wonderland and full understood exactly what he doomed Greg to.]

...Someone chose it for me.

[ Kara's frown has deepened, her hands balling into fists, a nervous tic she'd picked up recently. She knows she gave the only logical answer, and yet...it came out with a hint of uncertainty. His question seems weighted with a significance she can't grasp.

Alice flickers through her thoughts. ]


Does it matter?

Souji Seta | Real Side

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2018-12-15 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sudden influx of people or no, Souji still spends most of his time in the diner working. With so many people, he feels like it's important to keep it running smoothly. People will want to eat, after all, and some prefer the diner over either cooking for themselves or using the rather impersonal dining room.

He tries not to get his hopes of seeing people he's missed among the new faces. Or getting his hopes up that these people will be staying. He's seen this happen before, and he's not sure how much he trusts Wonderland to actually hold onto people anymore. (Not that he should want people to stay. That part is pretty selfish of him, he knows.)

On the 14th, he starts to prepare for the normal "Japanese Christmas" by getting out the the Colonel, only to find that the usual decoration is glitching just like those the Mansion made. It's...a bit alarming and so he quickly puts the thing away again. He can do the chicken and cake without the Colonel.

When he's not in the diner, he can be found all over Wonderland, wandering around looking for new people to talk to, a bit concerned about the glitching decorations. That doesn't seem to bode well.

On the 15th, when he enters the diner in the morning, he's struck by a scene playing out. It's brief--a young version of himself, maybe eleven or twelve years old, setting at a table. There's a Christmas cake on the table in front of him, and no one else in sight. The young Souji looks at the cake for a moment, then picks up a knife and starts to cut a slice out of it. The short scene ends there and disappears. Souji stands silently in the doorway for a moment, his expression hard to read, before moving on to the diner's kitchen. He can think about that some other time.]

Music room (on not the 15th)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2018-12-15 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Souji's spent most of his time so far in the diner, but he's trying purposely not to be there all the time. He hasn't practiced music in a while, so he heads to the music room only to find Wirt there. He pauses in the doorway.]

Will I be interrupting you if I come in?

[He doesn't mind coming back later.]

[personal profile] twirlier 2018-12-15 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You know that's not what I mean, and besides, trust me. There's people around here not like any home I've ever known. That accent though, only ever heard like it here once before with Jessica.

[And because of that they bonded well, and why she's happy to say hello and help out with another.

And she suspects if he's asking that, he's not been here long.]


Not that I've seen yet, but wait for an event. Though in that case, the flowers are likely man eating, and if you don't paint, you die. It's not the kindest of places, but it has things to offer.

[ People leave and return, with or without their memories. The longer they're gone, the smaller the chance they will still remember. Cullen knows that his own should have been slim at best. He knows--he strongly suspects that there is a considerable drawback to his return. He will need to explain. Prepare Garrett for it.

Later.

After he leans down into the kiss, and pulls Garrett closer. Tastes his warmth before anything else, always a comfort to make him forget worlds around him, if only for a few precious moments.

And when they pass he tastes the stale liquor instead.
]

Hey,

[ Cullen mumbles against his lips before he slowly pulls away. ]

Why don't we get you cleaned up. Do something about the room. Then you can tell me everything I missed.

[ Another kiss, briefer this time. ]

We've got some lost time to make up for after.

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-15 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. There's no known way about how we came here or how to leave just yet, so leaving on our own devices isn't possible at this moment.

[As long as Jericho is entertained and hasn't gone too far away, he'll leave him be, but he's still keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't go too far.]
licksthirium: (pic#12653038)

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-15 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Not anymore. [He's not wrong. But.... he didn't think about what he was going to say after this...] About that exit plan. Thanks.
licksthirium: (pic#12653086)

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-15 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Man... If he had not come here, all of this would have sounded like nonsense. Considering the walks of life that came here, could he really say this was strange and uncanny? So instead of questioning everything like he would have done normally, he'll just assume this was par for the course in the world he was in before this.]

And what kind of powers did it give you?

[This concerns him, but Hank is saying that it doesn't affect him, so maybe he's fine. It doesn't change the fact that Connor's going to be keeping a close eye on his condition though.]
bravejemma: (listening)

[personal profile] bravejemma 2018-12-15 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
And what would that accomplish?

[She plays it a little cooler. She knows she can't break the program by appealing to memories that, for him, do not exist or have replaced her with AIDA. Maybe she can't break it at all.]
instantlover: (pic#12766723)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-15 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least they can sort of have a conversation. Thanks. Although, why is she even putting herself out there like this?]

Well, we're clearly not in Detroit where we can finally be free, so yes.
instantlover: (pic#12766723)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-15 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I'm here. Test over.

[Hi, Kamski. North is not a people person.]

[She would have no reason to do that... But she wasn't about to drop down all of her walls just yet, even if Jean was here too.]

What do you mean by that? Clearly we're not in Stohess anymore.

You sound like you've been here for a while... [Which is... weird... Because she knows she's seen him recently.]
hypoxic: framework (but it's a memory for tomorrow)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2018-12-15 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Remarkably little. [But the accusation in his eyes is clear nonetheless.] Yet one imagines that accomplishments would be of little deterrent. You lot strike me as particularly petty.

[personal profile] fuckingpassw0rd 2018-12-15 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hank was greatly appreciating that Connor is not playing 20 questions with him in all of this. Which means he feels a little less, well not ashamed but more willing to tell him, strangely enough.]

Uh I can talk with dogs and speak their language.

[Hank wonders if Connor had gotten a clue about that one. It's his 'amusing' power, as far as Hank is concerned. The rest, not so much.]

The others are...well I can bench press 2000lbs...my skin's a lot more durable too. The last power's kinda shitty when it comes to androids.

[Now, he can't look at him. Cause he remembers his talk with Markus. It's a power that essentially undoes what makes an Android who they are.]

It lets me temporarily remove someone's power, if I know what it is. For androids uh...being an android was considered a power there so...yeah.
licksthirium: (pic#12600811)

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-15 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.... [That.... suddenly makes a lot of sense.] Does that make you wonder what Sumo's actually saying half of the time.

[His attempt to making a joke. It's not very good.]

How exactly would you take being an android from an android...? [Would you just like... lose all of your abilities as an android and you're basically plastic human??]
yourmaker: (ya me está gustando más de lo normal)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-15 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kamski keeps watching her, hawk-like and intent. The man sure can stare. ]

That depends. Does it matter to you? What is a name -- a designation given to us by those who came before us, a label for others to simplify their views on what they see? Or something more?
yourmaker: (vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-15 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed you are. As real as anyone else.

[ Wow, he loves how awesome and advanced his androids are!! ]

Are you enjoying the decorations?
instantlover: (pic#12766710)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-15 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Glancing over to the decorations.]

They're okay, but I'd rather be back in Detroit. Can't we just do this there...?
yourmaker: (vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-15 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome.

[ Kamski smiles. Aw, good boy, Connor. ]

I learned very early on in my career that certain people just can't resist tampering with my code.

[Facilier continues to idly shuffle his cards. ]

Oh, well that all depends on the one I'm doin' a readin' for. [He says 'one' instead of person, because like hell is he going to alienate someone he can get dirt on, even if that someone is a bird.]

I see you're past, your present, and your future. Can change it a 'lil, if there's a way.

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-15 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Look. You're kind of a fuck boi, but you also kept him from being taken over by Amanda and CyberLife with that information. So he owes you that much at least. But on that thought...]

Can I ask you a personal question...?
shslliar: (But my question to you is why not?)

[personal profile] shslliar 2018-12-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter?! What kind of crazy talk is that?

[This guy's driving the conversation in circles and it's starting to really bug Kokichi-]

That's it! I'm just gonna show you what you're missing. Come on. [Kokichi grabs the stranger's sleeve and attempts to drag him away.]
changeitroundsome: (I got bills to pay)

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2018-12-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clearly, so beautiful wow. 'Course, Facilier's less judgemental of the dead, even more so given...recent events. He takes her cards, taking the discarded pile, vanishing them away with a flick of his wrist.]

Right, lets take a gander at what we have here~

[He fans the three out in front of her, tapping each as he goes.]

So, these here represent your past, present and future. Ya'll need the first two to make the jump to the last.

[No strictly true, but he likes to unearth everything he can in one sitting. He turns the first card, it's upside down- to her- and it has Ahmanet herself on it, she's holding a set of scales- Justice reversed. Facilier peers down at it.]

You were next in line to your father's throne, promised it. You were ready to be a great ruler. But it was taken away from you, he had himself a son, and you were cast aside. [He clicks his tongue- Facilier doesn't really feel empathy for anything or anyone, but he's skilled at pretending otherwise. ] You wanted justice- so you sold your soul, to get your throne. Probably not the best course, but can't blame you for bein' desperate.
