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! ♥

You do realize that those legalities don't matter when we're somewhere else entirely. Or, for that matter, when we fought and got our freedom.

[ Kamski please. Stop the everything.

Markus takes a seat and folds his hands in his lap. They all knew Carl was going to pass. Carl himself was the biggest voice about that. But... Carl was his father. And he doubts it'll never stop hurting. ]


I... wouldn't say that. He never really painted much of anything in the last few months. Nothing he was happy with, anyways.

You're clearly not the Connor I know, so I'll just agree to disagree.

Just know that, I'll never stop fighting for my freedom.

[With that, she'll just walk away. There was no point in continuing this.]
instantlover: (pic#12766716)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-16 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
No, but it's a lot more familiar and I've worked hard to earn my freedom there.

[This place probably isn't bad, but she just felt like everything Jericho had fought for would mean nothing otherwise.]

Sounds simplistic. If only humans were that simple.

[He'll attempt to humor him at least.]

That must be an experience for them. Does it last forever or just for a certain amount of time?

Because you clearly designed Amanda in her image. It wasn't until we visited your place and saw the picture that I'd realized she'd been keeping things from me.

[Not really a surprise, but even so.]

Who else have you seen here? [ So far, he's only encountered North.

...A few months. Markus frowns a bit and looks over the area. ]
What have you found out about this place?

[personal profile] awhilelonger 2018-12-16 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
I can't pick up any traces of residual data transfers... so we're in our same bodies. Maybe something out of those science fiction shows.

[ Ha ha, Markus. ]

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-16 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I've adjusted, but I can't say how well just yet. It's strange place to get used to.

Well... I was designed to fit into normal human society, so that would be one of my features. [Said in a more joking way than not. No winking this time though.]

I'll tell you whatever you want to know, to the best of my abilities. Were there any specific questions you had?

[personal profile] fuckingpassw0rd 2018-12-16 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I mean, who wouldn't at this point, right?

[Maybe later he could tell Markus about his other self that Hank's been friends with for the past three months.

Or maybe never. He'd see with time.]


Guess we're all stuck here together, huh?

It was only me for the last few months, up until today. So far I've come across a few people from our world.

[One of them he never actually got her name and... then there was the other Connor that he wasn't too fond of.]

Well, for starters, there's no known way out yet and people are pulled in randomly from different times. Otherwise, we're currently in Wonderland.

[He'll start off with that.]
instantlover: (pic#12766710)

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-16 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess standing around won't do us any good. We should look for some answers.

Honestly? I'm not sure...

[ Like, Wonderland, could you not with this? ]

Right before I got here, me and Alice... [ She sighs. ] We hadn't made it to the bus terminal yet. So anything could've happened.

[ Her brow tightens for a moment. ] As long as I'm in Wonderland, I won't know anything.

[ The two Connors were definitely doing nothing to help with her worries. ]

[He takes a bite. It's an amazing cookie, something he would expect an android to pull off with precision that humans could only dream of. As tempting as grabbing more is, he is trying to be better about this.

Better circumstances this time. Ahh. So not from his world, he imagines. Christ it was still strange how just little changes meant it was much easier to spot who was and who wasn't.]


Sure. Is everything alright?

[He crosses his arms and looks at her, attempting not to look too threatening.]

I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who hasn't heard my name yet.

[ He pulls his hand back with a nod. ]

It looks like it. I'm just hoping you're not planning on arresting me.

[ See? He can joke back. ]

Marco shrinks away from the hand on his shoulder--is his shoulder still there? the last he remembers of it had been a single moment of bright, searing pain as his hand had gotten caught between the titan's back teeth, a shining moment of agony before oblivion--but this time, he recognizes the voice, and lifts his head.

"Jean?" It is Jean, and Marco doesn't notice any changes that might have occurred during their separation; the only thing he sees are Jean's eyes, and they're the same as they've always been.

"Jean!" Marco uncurls, flails his hands up to grasp at Jean's shirt, to pull him down closer. "Did they get you too?"

[ Markus glances around and pulls up a seat for him and her. He still holds her hand - for as long as she'll let him. ]

So, you haven't found your way to Canada just yet. [ That means anything could still happen when they get home. He offers her a small smile. ] I think you'll make it there. You're determined, Kara. Especially when it comes to that little girl you have with you. [ Regardless if she's an android or not. ]

I don't suppose you've heard of a way for us to return to our Detroits.

Christ Connor I...I never used it. After speaking to Markus I just knew that's like removing what makes you, well you. I just knew the potential was there. But if you're talking about removing someone's power, it's only as long as I look at them. I've got human limits so I'd say at most an hour, but I never tried it.

[Hank never was in a situation that needed it.]

Which should be easier now that there are two of us.

[ He gives her a smile. ]

You're not wrong. As much as other android have longed for freedom, it would be strange to not be who they are. [He says this as a bystander because he's... an exception to the case.] It's probably better that you hadn't.

[Hank lets his hand fall back to his side and just shrugs at the last comment, realizing it's a joke, but more than willing to add some real commentary to it;]

Fuck no, if I was going to do that, I'd have to arrest myself and Connor too. Did he tell you they forced me to go to the Cyberlife tower? With Connor's shitty evil screaming twin, no less.

North and I found each other not too long ago. [ He wonders who else might have wandered around here. Jericho? Humans? ]

Wonderland. You mean the children's book?

[personal profile] instantlover 2018-12-16 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll return the smile and reach for his hand, giving it a light squeeze.]

I'm sure we'll be able to find out where we are.

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-16 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That's something that is going to feel weird to say every time]

North is here too? I guess I haven't seen her yet.

Yeah. As strange as it seems, I've even spoken to Alice for a short while. A nice kid, but strange to think about.

[ Kara gives him a look at the comment. There's not much amusement there. But hey, she's trying.

A while later, after they've talked, she's sitting on the fountain, lightly stroking Jericho's head. She didn't think having his dog there would give her so much comfort, but life is strange.

A sigh escapes her. ]


What are the humans like?

[ She'd saved that particular question for last. The answer to it worried her the most. ]

[It was times like this that Connor was thankful to have Jericho around. While he seemed more interested in the pretty android giving him pets, it was probably better to comfort her as much as they can.]

They're not so bad. They haven't been exposed to us like those in our world, but they're are a lot of different kinds of people here from all walks of life. No one has really given me any trouble since being here.

[Then again, Connor doesn't really try to hide that he's not an android.]
