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! ♥

( Clementine's eyes burn further as she erases the distance between them completely, standing in front of her, staring up at him. Her chest gives a little ache that grows louder. )

It's so fucking good to see you.

I saw Tim earlier, and he didn't know- ( she shakes her head ) he didn't know me.

I thought it'd be the same for you. You were both just gone, and I- ( her voice cuts off, because talking about emotions and grief, it's difficult. )

What do you think?

[Yousuke can barely contain himself from just answering, but he's starting to like this game as well. What would this Souji, technically older than them all, think about his own self, in a completely different time.]

( Clementine's eyes burn so much they nearly flood. She tries to keep it back. He is the one who died after all. Every single fucking person who went after her, they're all goddamn dead now.

She rubs a hand over her face, clearing her throat. )


Yeah. It's been seven years.

( She's sixteen now. )

Lee... found me and saved me, but he was bit so. ( Clementine's shoulders tighten as she lifts her gaze up to him. )

"It's been a long time since I saw it, but I remember. It was... pretty sad, huh?"

Clementine can't quite remember why, which makes her feel like she should watch it again.

"There's a movie theater here. ...maybe it's time for a rewatch."

Jean didn't make a peep of protest as Marco held his arm. He wouldn't be surprised if he were feeling unsteady right now, and even if he weren't, he could feel uneasiness radiating from his manner. It only made sense. He didn't want to think about it too deeply, but he would be jumping at shadows if he were in his boots...

He stopped in his tracks as soon as Marco mentioned those names. There was no way-- how could Marco possibly know about those traitors? Yet possibilities soon sprung up in his mind, each worse than the last. Hadn't Armin said-- hadn't he once said that after Trost, he noticed Annie using Marco's gear?

"How," he began, an icy fury crawling up the edges of his voice, "do you know about them?"

Well, if there was a way to set Ella at ease, this guy definitely had found it. She just grinned at him again, the already easy expression even easier than it had been. There's laughter in her eyes at that, because yeah, honestly same with the soul siblings thing. She can't help it, they've bonded on the nerd level and they're friends now. That's just the way that things work.

"You've been here before?" The question is out almost before she can stop it, and the appraising and interested look only intensifies for a moment. "That is so interesting. I don't think I've been, but I've got friends who are. Friends like from home, and not like just soul siblings that I've found!"

And then she stepped forward, her arms open for a hug. Ella's gotta Ella after all. "I'm Ella. And I'm uh just from Earth I guess? LA via Detroit. I don't know if I've got like some special Earth-y designation though. I mean, there probably is one given the whole Multiverse theory going on here? But no one's told me it yet."

[Ella's face lights up more than a little bit when she sees Maze. It seems like it's been a super long time since she's seen her, even if it really hadn't been. The total disaster of a bachelor party was the last time, honestly and Ella's not sure if she's still supposed to be mad over that or not.

Okay, she's kinda still a little mad about the whole highjacking it thing, but nowhere near enough for it to matter.

Maze! What are you doing here?

[ the look of surprise quickly makes way for one of annoyance. it's partly because of the smirk and partly because of allowing himself to be so easily caught off guard ]

I suppose that's sort of my thing, going against the crowd. [ jim glances back over his shoulder at the crowd, as though something significant may have changed in the moments since he'd last been looking ]

And there's the thing, you see. I don't really want to find anyone. I'd prefer them to stay right were they are, thanks. As... cruel as that may seem to them.
postictal: (that sounds like total bullshit my guy)

[He hums his quiet acknowledgment. Looks down at the table, takes in the angles of the place that were constructed easily, concretely. Everything here is of reasonable quality. It's not hunks of wood stapled together, battered into something vaguely approximating a table that will work relatively well until someone tries to kick it over. It's...simple. Utilitarian. Clean. The kind of thing you'd buy at an Ikea.]

[The shift is fucking with him, he's pretty sure, though he's not sure how to put it into words. If at all.]


Do you run into a lotta people like this? Like - [He sweeps one hand up to gesture at himself. Like me? Washed in from another world, or, possibly, just some secondary version of someone she's already met?]
uncoils: (You live you learn)

[personal profile] uncoils 2018-12-24 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's exactly what I saw!

[She's a little loud about that, mostly because she's glad to have proof she's not going crazy. Or well, crazier.]

She looked like me, but I've never had my hair like that.

[Or that sweater, that's not something she'd wear.]

Oh wow. Like no really, oh wow. You're like a My Little Pony. You're more than a My Little Pony. You're a Friendship is Magic Pony. I.E. The best ponies no matter what the stupid fanbros say! You're totally Starlight Glimmer! I love you. I definitely have you on a T-Shirt!

[Snap.]

[His vision goes white for a moment, eyes dull and unfocused, face hot as the blood rushes toward his head.]

[There's something in his mouth, hot and wet. He tries to turn his head to spit, but it's agony. His breaths come short and shallow.]

[He is going to die. He is going to die unless something changes.]

[Do you remember, Jay Merrick?]

[With a growl, bubbling up through the heat in his throat, he shoves his hands up against Alex's neck, digging the nails in. Pin him open. Watch him bleed.]

[1D20 => 2]
rosswood: if you don't have friends (how to make a movie)

[personal profile] rosswood 2018-12-24 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Alex chokes. Chokes on the dried, stale taste of his own vomit, of the cling of blood to the roof of his mouth. Tries to gurgle out some kind of snarled retort that fails, and so settles for trying to claw at Jay's face, dig fingers at his eyes if he can, like he can tear them out, rip them to pieces like the lenses of a camera.]

[If he can't manage that, he'll try and settle for simply attempting to drive a fist into his solar plexus.]
burntvideocassette: (suspicious)

[personal profile] burntvideocassette 2018-12-24 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[It's wry, an acknowledgment of how deeply disturbing Wonderland's whole system can be. Especially for people like them.]

Guess that's the price we gotta pay for the, uh. [He gestures at the cabinets behind Tim's head.] "Any food we want, any time we want it," thing.

[Tim's clothes look a little worn, a little ragged, a stark contrast to Jay's stiff, closet-fresh outfit. The Masons shoved him into a bleach shower, and the clothes he showed up in were a biohazard. Replacements were necessary. (He was able to spare the hat, though.)]

[Doesn't look like replacements are as easy to get where Tim's from.]


What do they pay with where you--?

[Is that...?]

Wait, never mind. Ignore that. Is...?

[What. What.]

Is that my sweatshirt?
postictal: (barely got a lid on it)

[His throat convulses once in a swallow. He glances aside, because Jay finally picked up on a detail that he'd be stupid to hope that he wouldn't have noticed. Of course he would have noticed. It's obvious. He resists the urge to pick at fraying threads, to shove his hands into its pockets.]

[He bled onto it. Meant for Chara to have it, but instead they - ]

[He bled onto it. Worked hard to scrub the stains of his own viscera off the fabric, couldn't bear to see it stained red twice.]


Guess so.
burntvideocassette: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] burntvideocassette 2018-12-24 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Jay hisses through his teeth. They were both just gone, she says, and from the way her voice shakes, this doesn't sound like the usual "under-a-week" visit home. It sounds like they were gone.]

[The type of gone where this, right now, doesn't happen.]


Well, I'm here. 'S long as this place will keep me around.

[If the island-Tim's right about all this, about other worlds and the way the whole multiverse or whatever seems to work, maybe he'll get other chances. Maybe gone won't have to mean gone, from now on.]

And yeah, I saw him. He remembered me, but not...I mean, unless he's got his memories wiped, seems like he's a different person. Similar, but stuff...went differently.

[A film major trying to explain the multiverse to a kid. Recipe for success.]
wasitalie: (Watch it spin round)

[personal profile] wasitalie 2018-12-24 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[He kind of remembers seeing someone like that, but recently?]

Sorry, I haven't...

Jean stops so suddenly that Marco bumps into him, but that's okay; it just gives Marco a chance to grab him with the other hand and press in close against him, suddenly trembling like a leaf and wanting--needing--to as close to Jean as he can.

He has to tell him. He has to warn him, even if that means thinking about the darkest thing, and Marco doesn't even notice how Jean's voice changes, implying that he already knows what Marco is going to say.

"In Trost... on the rooftops..." Marco is shaking so hard he can barely keep his balance, and he clings to Jean to keep from falling, looking beseechingly at his face. "I... I heard them, I heard them talking, a-and they... Bertolt and... and Reiner... they said they were titans and..."

His voice cracks, and Marco gives in, burying his face in Jean's shoulder. "I t-tried to get away, but he... the big one... he hit me from above and knocked me onto a roof... broke my shoulder... and th-then he held my arms back a-and..."

Well. And Jean saw the end results of what happened, didn't he? They took Marco's gear and left him on that roof to die, and he did die, and now he's alive again somehow and he needs to warn Jean.

"Don't trust them!" Marco lifts his head again, his face almost within kissing distance of Jean's, but the tears and snot running down his face make this anything but a kissing moment. "Especially R-Reiner! He's their leader, he's the one th-that... that m-made Annie..."

[He doesn't really expect anything out of this, because Wonderland has never been particularly kind to Nathaniel (not that he expects it, but he would be grateful to be given a break once in a while).

This event has been a strange one, though the influx of people feels familiar. Few people he knows, so far, until that shaky voice calling out snatches his attention like the crack of a whip.

When he sees her, she's walking across the entrance, and he shouts from the top of the stairs at a volume so entirely uncharacteristic of him that he's surprised to hear it coming from his own mouth.
]

Robyn!

What about those people around you? Did you recognize them?

[ Ange stays fairly calm in the middle of all of this, but then again, it's much easier to not freak out when it wasn't some weird slightly off version of herself being shown. ]

[When it comes to showing up at the shooting range, Nathaniel is nothing if not entirely predictable. He's here at least once a day, just as he was when Clint was in Wonderland before, but it's clear on his face the moment he walks in that he doesn't expect to see his fellow archer there.]

Oh, wow.

[It's about as shocked as Nathaniel gets, almost deadpan but with slightly widened eyes and a faltering in his steps.]

Clint? What are you-- [Wait, no, he's not going to ask that. It's a stupid question.] How long have you been here?

[Drizella doesn't know if Zelena remembers her or not. Or beyond that, how much she remembers of her. There's definitely a lot of not fun in their history together, but it doesn't stop Drizella from taking a moment to test the waters.]

Should have known that with Regina coming back, you wouldn't be far behind.

[He nods.]

It seemed before like the Queen of Hearts knew how to regulate things. One time when things got weird, she had the Mirror steal items from us and tossed them into the Core. That seemed to stabilize it.

I'm not sure what the plan is now that she's gone. [And now that the White Queen, who took the Queen of Hearts's place, seems to be the one causing the issues.]

[Souji hesitates. He's uncertain enough about the future that he doesn't really want to hazard a guess. Things seem to be fine at home, but he's kind of...diverged from the Souji he was when he got here, and the things he wanted to do then might be different from the things he thinks he wants to do now. The idea picks at the small insecurities over his own identity that he mostly ignores.]

I'd go to university, I guess.

[That's part of it too. She doesn't want to open that can of worms until she absolutely has to. But she knows it will come out eventually, she's just waiting for Kol to be ready to hear it in his own time.

As for the second part, however:]


She left around the same time you did. All of you - Elena and Damon left as well. If she's returned now, though, I haven't seen her.
