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! ♥

Not a lot of us from the Crescent City, then? Real shame, that.

[It's not. It means there's less people who might actually know who the hell he is. His line of work requires a certain level of...anonymity. He's glad he still has that here.

Ah, and here it was. The awful parts. He expected worse, really.

Guess it's still better than being dead, huh? So, this place tests us, then?

You can ask, yes.

Don't strain your systems trying.

[ not just because she can't -- she's deviant, obviously she believes she can so whatever. but also because, he doesn't want her pity. he doesn't need it. he's perfectly satisfied with who he is. he completed his mission. what more could he possibly want? ]

A sceptic, and at such a young age, too. Guess it's true that the youth of today ain't so impressed these days.

['Today' being 1926, obviously. He flashes Stanford a charming smile.]

Mine's much more than just an educated guess, young man. My readings are completely legitimate. Care to try it for yourself?

Amanda Stern... Who is she to you, beyond being your mentor.

[Because he knows that Amanda was designed from her image]
changeitroundsome: (And if it's not right)

YES GOOD

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2018-12-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's going to break his cards. Facilier looks over, flashing a grin.]

Of course, but how about that smile? Fair trade, and all that. And then, well, we'll see where the cards take us.

How long do you think that freedom will last? Realistically?
instantlover: (pic#12766713)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll make sure it lasts for as long as I can. I'm never letting that freedom get taken from us again.

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I will attempt to do so.

[ as he said, it would be better than being idle. ]

[The people in this place get more and more interesting as the day goes on. ]

I'm offerin' it as a one time deal. Seen as I'm new and all. Besides, ain't like money does us much good here, no?

[He'll just have to find power by other means. It's just a detour, he can work with it. His grin widens at the question.]

Of course! All it takes is a little ingenuity. I made it my business, back home, changin' folks' futures for them. Givin' them what they wanted.

[But not what they needed. That side was Odie's shtick. ]

You were lucky, in your world.

[ lucky that his other model went and fucked up - she doesn't stand a chance against him ]

[Someone grabs them, and the effect is immediate. Their shoulders slump and their head drops to their chest, further veiling their eyes from view. They stumble after, unresisting, allowing themself to be dragged along like a puppet drawn by a string.]

[Their choices don't matter.]
changeitroundsome: (Tell me I'm a bad man)

HECK YES

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2018-12-15 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Facilier would very much like people to depend on him. It's how he gets by, making himself indispensable. Folk trust you? You can get away with just about anything.

Molly is definitely something Facilier has never seen before, and he's seen a lot. He manages to mask most of his surprise though, all bar for some very raised eyebrows.
]

Well, take a look at you.

[That too, but he keeps his smile set to charming. ]

As for the future here? They still got one waitin' back home. Or perhaps the cards'll show them a thing or two here, if they got a mind.

[So this is probably not the Connor she knows... Now she's going be a bit more cautious.]

I would have come out the winner either way. [That's a lie, but she's still going to fight to the end.]

No, you wouldn't have.

What's so wrong with us having our freedom? We're not the only ones who'd be free, you know.

[That's even more irritating. Kokichi expected at least some resistance from Mx. Stoneface here, considering the guy's taller than him. But nope! They're just letting themselves be dragged along like a pathetic rag doll.]

Geez... So much for being physically unable to move or whatever... [He grumbles as they trudge through the snow. It's a bit of a walk from the Checkerboard Hills to the mansion, but at the pace they're going they'll probably make it in 20 minutes. Tops.]

I mean, seriously! A lifeless robot has more integrity at you! Or at least the will to live! Something!

[Then something hits him, making him pause his mean-spirited rant for a second.]

You don't even have a name, do you?
gonerkid: (❤ he likes it in his ass)

[personal profile] gonerkid 2018-12-16 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[They let him ramble. If his words strike with any impact, it doesn't show. Their expression is as deadpan as always, their head bowed.]

[It washes over them dully, like an oil slick over water. No matter how he might go on and on, whether or not they agree, it doesn't matter. They've heard worse.]

[They do, however, have an answer to that.]


Kris.

We're machines. We can't have emotions -- what deviants feel as emotions are nothing but errors. These desires you have to be free, it's the same. Nothing more than malfunctioning lines of code.
shslliar: (Don't try this at home!)

[personal profile] shslliar 2018-12-16 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [He stops walking a second near the giant scar in the ground and turns his head twoard the stranger.]

Kris? That's your name?

And yet no two androids are the same. It's remarkable how well made you're programmed, really.

I understand that you think that.

[ of course deviants would think it's real - that's really the worst part. he almost pities her, giving in so fully to the errors in her code. ]

[ Kamski's smile thins a bit. ]

Amanda stern was someone very dear to me. [ He'll just circle back like he do. ] What would you gain in learning why she mattered to me?
