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! ♥

"Yeah. Yeah, you can do both of those things," Jean sniffed loudly as he tried to hold everything back, and scrubbed at his face with the back of his sleeve. Classy as ever. "This place isn't short on clothes and baths."

Now that he was in Marco's personal space, Jean found himself very reluctant to leave it, as though he would disappear the moment he looked away. And here, that was very, very possible. Especially if the was the event he was expecting it to be. But at the same time, he couldn't sit here forever.

He slowly stood back up, and offered Marco his hand.

"There's a lot of people here. But nobody you know."

Because it wasn't the afterlife Marco was probably assuming it was. They wouldn't find Thomas, or Mina, or Hannah and Franz here. Just Jean.

[ She smiles briefly, a small, wan one. ] I'm sensing a theme lately.

[ He does calm her a bit, though. Beneath the gruff exterior, she can sense the faint presence of a heart there. She can see why Connor thinks so fondly of him. ]

Trust me, I wish it'd happened that way. But he was hurting her and... [ She presses her lips together. ] I knew he wanted to kill me.

[ Again. ]

I couldn't leave her alone. I had to stop him.

[ It's strange, trying to justify her actions to a human, but at least he could know the truth. ]

What the hell are you even talking about? [She's too confused to remark on the bitchy comment--but it hasn't helped her mood at all. There's a familiarity here, though definitely not from Claire's end of things.]

[He chuckles, before nodding, because, hey, important job.]

Well, I guess the roof is as good a view as any. Do you want some company while you watch for these dastardly signs of breakage? I promise I won't be too distracting.

[That's a lie and he knows it.]

Three months. Soooooo long enough to have got through a couple events, not long enough to be an expert in any way, shape or form. Take from that what you will.

[ Slowly, she looks back at him. She'd definitely noticed the LED, and it made her feel worse. In such an unfamiliar place, should she really be pushing away the one person who probably understood her the most?

He needed help, too. She could only imagine deviancy must be terrifying for someone whose only purpose for a while had been getting rid of it.

Her look turns sympathetic. ]


I can't speak on the future, but... [ Which isn't exactly saying there's a possibility for friendship, but who knows? ] I don't want you to have to go through this alone. No matter what happened.

[ She smiles a bit. ] I don't think Alice would appreciate me turning away someone in need.

"I will talk about that bastard whenever I want." She taunts, and while she's about to say something else, she sees him freeze.

It's the first time something's broken through to the Doctor.

"I know all about it," Jemma proceeds to recite a couple highlights from it, "because I was there. It was our conversation. It was the first time we'd ever met -- even seen each other."

Jemma's cautious, more because she knows how easy it would be for him to find a bit of sympathy and tug at it, if she felt she could find any bit of Fitz in there.

"How do you feel about monkeys?" Did his father beat it out of him?

"Someone I met earlier explained, the multiverse?" She smooths out her dress. Jemma still has hope whatever brought her here will send her back, to where things make a modicum, if only a modicum, of sense.

She should be getting married. Isn't this supposed to be the happiest day of her life?

"Was the previously me married?" Is there not only the multiverse, but also a time loop involved? Also, if they knew her "My husband to be is not here." Do they know who they see as Fitz is the farthest thing from?

( this isn't his friend.

he is meeting some other creature entirely: confident, poised, unaffected. there's a touch, a gleam, a hungrier curiosity and a subtle amusement at the irony that alights in reflection from the dim bulb hanging behind leopold. as he shifts, just slightly, on his feet, as this stranger comes near. who is this person? is the thought he has.
) Witches do, ( he'll grant that; they are a resourceful, homely lot ) but my sister is more clever by half and not prone to keeping playthings.

[ Kara looks horrified. She's glad he has people here with him, but...

He's human. They've felt like the enemy for so long already. Yet she can't stand the idea of someone so young having to go through that.

Hesitantly, she reaches out to touch his shoulder. ]


Are you sure you're okay?
heroica: (i wish to remain nameless)

[personal profile] heroica 2018-12-21 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
You've seen all of it and needed more? [ That surprises her and makes her laugh, too. This woman must have a lot of energy.

...And a lot of dirt. The Warden blinks, wrinkling her nose? ]


Er...I'm all set, thanks. [ What is it for?? ] Were you planting something out here?
heroica: (Default)

[personal profile] heroica 2018-12-21 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Months. [ She repeats it as a sad sort of exhale, lowering back down from her tip-toes. ] Maker. It isn't fair, how Wonderland toys with us all like this...

[ It's given her more time, but who knows when she'll vanish again? Or when he will?

Her chest tightens painfully. She takes his hand in hers and squeezes. ]


It's an awful gift. [ Robyn confirms forcefully. ] But...while it's 'giving,' did it bring any of the others? You deserve all the company in the world, after all.

[ Cullen had been here, still, when last she departed, and Nathaniel too. ]

Have any other Hawkes arrived? ...Er, siblings, I mean. Not 'other' yous.
heroica: (what a place to come from)

[personal profile] heroica 2018-12-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hello! [ Robyn perks up at the sight of Shepard, eyes bright and beaming. ] It's wonderful to see you again...!

[ This woman had been one of the bravest and most incredible women that Robyn has ever met, after all. It's an honor to be able to spend time with her again, however brief. ]

How are you? [ She presses, taking both of Shepard's hands in her own. ]

( klaus is quick to follow at her heels, and then falls into step beside her. he's yet to realize lucifer has departed, and while his head is spinning (or rather seething) his feet subconsciously lead him towards the stairs, assuming their direction. they do have their haunts.

almost a year is a confirmation he hardly desires, but he needs: it drops in his gut like a heavy coin in a well, sinking into buried depths. kol, of course, he has found out himself courtesy of his device, though the particulars are less promising. even with davina, kol is a troublemaker, but without her, from before all the trials and tribulations they've faced together?
) Let me guess: he's been quite the handful. ( klaus presumes he will be now that he's here, as well.

they rarely have gotten along in the best of times. kol's death didn't make him sentimental.
)

Ooh, warm sounds good! I'll take the second one!

[ Funny how her game's set in "Japan" but she has no idea what that is. At least it'll be a fun surprise? And maybe she can actually attempt to use chopsticks!

...Nah, she'll stick with a fork. ]


It is really nice. [ She sighs happily, taking in her surroundings. ] It's nice to be real. Maybe Wonderland sent me away to do some thinking before it'd let me have a body? Ahaha!

[ Her smile turns wry. ] I deserved the punishment, honestly.
255000255000255: (Pleased)

[ She giggles and leans forward playfully. ] I have~

And I can see you still haven't learned to relax a little! [ She's teasing, but...no, really, he could use a little chill. ] Making a snowman's supposed to be fun, not work!

[ Though maybe moving all that snow is hard? Hrm. ]

Still, I bet we can make a really great snowman if we work together! [ She beams. ] If you'll have me~

DAMON'S BAR FOR REAL THIS TIME

[personal profile] alsoagirl 2018-12-21 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Being "neighbors" with a bar was such a blessing and curse. She got to be super fancy while drinking blood, and sometimes her friends liked to show up! But what good is booze if you can't enjoy it like a normal person?

Oh, what a freak of nature she was.

Still, it was usually a nice place to hide away sometimes, and it usually wasn't too loud. Until recently, anyway.

People loved to drink, and boy, were they drinking. The clinking of bottles and glasses has her holding her forehead, and she's considering going back to her room. Her glass of blood is already shitty enough on its own, and the noisiness isn't helping.

But, no. She's going to be lazy and bitch at people instead of walking across the hall. ]


Oh my fuckin' God, you don't gotta shake the ice around like that all the goddamn time!

[ It's not directed at anyone specifically, but seriously. Just drink your drinks, assholes! ]
255000255000255: (Nyeh)

[personal profile] 255000255000255 2018-12-21 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, she can't help but be amused. Did she really have that much of an affect on him? She didn't know she was so amazing!

She crosses her arms over her chest once she steps outside, giggling as Jericho goes bounding off into the snow. There was so much adorableness happening around her, it almost hurt.

When Connor finally joins her, she glances over at him, and her smile's just a tad coy. ]


Ahaha, I almost thought you froze there for a second.

[ Pun intended. ]

( he hears her order the blood. even in this din, he hears it clear as day, and while klaus once knew most (if not all) of the vampires here in wonderland, he's not simple enough to assume he does still. this one has all the hallmarks of a young one: if her temper doesn't give her away, her obvious sensitivity does.

after observing her for some time, klaus slides onto the stool beside her, placing his scotch on the counter, and rejoins with in a courteously low volume,

[ Lapis makes her a little jumpy, even if it wasn't her back during the chess game. That water of hers...and they were surrounded by tons of it.....

But the fear only lasts a few seconds, since she's clearly not getting water shoved down her throat. Hopefully it stays that way. She likes having a body that's not temporary for once, and she'd very much like to not add to her death count.

At the moment, she's not sure which is more amusing--Lapis's setup and disregard for the cold or the crazy decoration. The thing was making her own deletion look tame. ]


Weird things happen when you're trapped in a video game. The boredom gets to you eventually!

[ Makes you murderous and all. It's okay if it's in the name of love, right?

Okay, no. It's not. ]

[ Even with her senses, she still jumps at his unexpected presence. The din around them is definitely distracting her. Right as she's about to admonish someone for daring to come up to her and do what people normally do at bars--you know, socialize--the words die in her throat.

Whoa.

Jessica blinks, staring stupidly for a long while. He has that...aura about him, something familiar but hard to place. He has to be one of the new arrivals. She'd never forget someone so goddamn hot. And the accent? Fuck. ]


Y-Yeah. Drinks shouldn't be uncool.

[ Because that's what he means by "neat," right?

Eventually, instead of looking like her mouth doesn't know how to close, she throws on a smile and holds out her hand. ]


I'm Jessica.

[His eyes narrow, ever slightly, when Klaus identifies himself by association with Freya. That tells him everything he needs to know.]

So what are you? A warlock, perhaps? Or are you another creature like the other brother?

[Klaus is absolutely right: this isn't his friend. Someone else has taken residence in this skin.]

( she is absolutely new (if there were any doubts, how easily startled she was would convince the staunchest skeptic) and certainly earnest and naive. he's unfazed by her blatant attention: he welcomes it quite neutrally, with a locked stare. it's hardly the first nor the last time a woman will find him attractive. he is, however, amused by her response: his lips twitch into a smile and he glances away.

he's more charmed than he is judgmental of the pas faux. with a fondness, he considers a younger caroline might have said something similar.
) My name is Klaus, ( he offers, and then takes her hand to shake. ) What are you drinking?

[ Jessica doesn't answer immediately, only tilts her head curiously. Not only was she sensing something different about this girl, that question brings up some strange thoughts. She knew how the whole "poof! gone for a week and then back!" thing worked, but...someone coming back after so long? And remembering it?

Eventually, words come to her. ]


Well, fuck. I dunno if I should be welcomin' you back or sayin' sorry.

But yeah. [ She nods. ] It's just about that time.

[ Her head tilts again. ] It's so weird, though. I feel like I'd've remembered you if you were here before. What's your name?
