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! ♥

"It's...complicated," Jean replied. He didn't move a muscle, and kept Marco tucked into his shoulder. "Annie, Reiner and Bertholt, they're from a place outside of the Walls. We're not the only people alive. There are cities and countries and powers all outside the Walls that we've never known about, and they were all from one of them. They were sent to try and capture Eren, and they were willing to kill us all in the process."

"Reiner and Berholt were the Armored and Colossal Titans. Annie was one too, but not one you know about."

I see, so I remind you of someone! He must be a rather studious and hardworking individual then, haha! But I shall help to clear any confusion!

[He straightens himself even more, straightening his tie and giving a salute as he introduces himself.]

My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru, member of the Future Foundation, 14th division!

[Although, the Future Foundation has all but crumbled since the Final Killing Game, but their fight against despair seems to be drawing to a close. The 77th class have all but left on a boat after lending their assistance and things are really looking up now! As Naegi-kun always said, they can't give up hope!]

Marco shakes his head again. This is beyond his current ability to comprehend, although he'll be curious later. For now, though, it's just one shock layered on top of another, and he's reaching his capacity for horror.

"Can we... go back to wherever you're staying now?" He just really needs a shower and a change of clothes, okay? Maybe once he's not still clammy with titan spit, he'll be able to focus better.

The bike. [She raises an eyebrow behind her sunglasses.] I'm not giving it back.

[It takes Ishimaru a few moments, but his eyes become wide when realization fully hits. This is the same Junko, but she's before the School Killing Game even started... before they agreed to lock themselves in Hope's Peak because of the Tragedy. He's not naive enough to think of her as innocent now, especially since she mentioned Monokuma and 'done a few things,' but he's never talked to a Junko that's so far behind his own timeline.

Even more so now, since he's a Future Foundation member.

Still, he has to at least try and stop her from committing murder against her own class if he has the opportunity. Even if it's near impossible to convince her and even if she forgets this conversation upon returning home, he can't just do nothing either.]


It doesn't have to apply to you. You can stop all of that from happening! [Maybe if he mentions--] It's not like your goal to make the entire world fall into despair succeeds in the end!

"Yeah," Jean nodded, gave Marco a pat on the back of his head, and waited for a moment for Marco to get his bearings back before leading him on, up a flight of stairs and down a plush hallways before they came to his room.

Inside, things are different from the rest of the Mansion. Instead of being velvety and luxurious, Jean's room is actually rather similar to one might find in a city in Wall Rose. Except... There are things scattered around that definitely wouldn't belong in such a home too.

In one corner is a moderately large flat screen TV connected to a gaming system on the floor in front of it. There's also a ceiling fan / light combo, and a digital clock on his bedside table. A nearby desk is piled with sketchbooks, loose paper, and art supplies that no middle class family would ever be able to get their hands on.

"The bathroom's over here," Jean gave Marco a light tug in the right direction. "You'll like the shower. It stays hot forever."

That seemed like a rather mundane thing to say, but Jean had found that a hot shower was one of the great neutralizers in this world. Stand in there long enough, and you get this stupifying feeling, like nothing really matters anymore.

Kind of? It's like me or whoever that is. They look like my friends, but it's still...not right.

[She looks like she wants to say more, but stops, unsure if she wants to or not. But Ange is her friend, so after a little more hesitation, she'll continue.]

...it's not possible either.
boldsimplicity: (Hear me out)

[personal profile] boldsimplicity 2018-12-26 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He's definitely learned a lot from his other self! He must be taking precise and well-written notes since his arrival here! Truly splendid! But as much as Ishimaru wants to continue with his praise, there are other things to focus on... like informing this Ishimaru that he's definitely no mirror! He's the real deal as well!]

It was indeed, thorough! I appreciate the explanation, my other self! And so, I'll tell you a little about myself and therefore erase all doubts you have about me!

[He straightens himself even further and adjusts his tie, trying to look as professional as possible!]

As you know, my name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru... but I'm part of the Future Foundation back home! It's an organization dedicated to fighting off despair and restoring hope to the world!

[ remember that part where no one was laughing at the hypothetical bad joke that harry had mentioned? wasn't that nice? just remember the good times, cisco ]

Okay for the sake of actually moving this conversation along, let's imagine for a moment that that isn't a completely ridiculous notion. Why would we be in Wonderland?

[ he can't seem to keep that disbelieving, somewhat mocking tone from his voice when he says wonderland ]
choosetruth: (georgia40)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2018-12-26 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Cisco." She nods. "It's been a long time." Longer than should be possible for him to remember. "On our end, anyway. How long has it been for you?"
freckilled: (adorable surprise)

[personal profile] freckilled 2018-12-26 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Marco is quiet and complacent as Jean leads him down the long hallways, looking from side to side and taking in his surroundings. He'd normally be asking more questions, but right now he's just trying to absorb everything and make some sense of it.

Jean's room gets a few interested glances, but not as many as one might expect. The thing that makes Marco sag with relief, that makes him lean against Jean and sigh, is the smell. There are new smells mixed in, things he can't place, but the room smells like Jean. Paper, and graphite, and a smell that is uniquely Jean's own, and it's all familiar, familiar enough that it almost brings tears to Marco's eyes all over again.

Thank the gods Jean is here. If he wasn't, Marco thinks he would have lost his mind.

Marco turns to Jean, wide-eyed, when he mentions the shower. "I can't use all your hot water!"

When Jean says forever, Marco assumes he means two, maybe three minutes. That would be forever back home, and a luxury violently craved and fought over.

[She raises an eyebrow.] Don't tell me you're from a world that doesn't have that concept. I won't believe you.
wickedwest: (I'll just have to make the most of this)

[personal profile] wickedwest 2018-12-26 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd heard from Snow that Drizella was here, so it's not a total surprise. Still, this isn't exactly a conversation she's thrilled to have. Everything turned out okay in the end and she knows that, but good lord what a mess. Not that she has too much room to talk about creating giant messes that put people in mortal peril, but still.

Basically she is not sure how to feel about this and is kind of annoyed about it.]


Can't say I would've expected it. Here I thought I was done with this place.
choosetruth: (bex2)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2018-12-26 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She raises an eyebrow behind her sunglasses.]

How do you know that? If you haven't been here before?

[personal profile] dejavoodoo 2018-12-26 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Undead? [She arches a brow, frowning a bit more heavily at that.] Like undead undead?

[Even as she asks, she moves to the closet. Taking her time, thinking it over like she's been told to do. When she opens it, she hauls out a big pot, steaming, and carrying it to the stove. The scent of spices and meat fill the air as she sets it on the stove.

Reaching up, finding a couple of bowls. Scooping things into one, bringing them over to where he is and setting it down before him.]


I can join you, if you want. I haven't tried to eat since I woke up, but I might be able to. I can touch things, after all.
postictal: (tim pretends he doesn't give any shits)

[personal profile] postictal 2018-12-26 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you could say this isn't so different.

[He still doesn't know her - not this her, anyway, and that's something that he still doesn't know how best to...process, exactly. It would stand to reason that there are, in fact, multiples of almost everyone out there, knowing what he knows about the way the multiverse unfolds. It's just a strange thought to be confronted with the reality that there are, in fact, other versions of...him.]

[One was always too much for him. More than one is just pushing it.]

[One side of his mouth twists into a bittersweet, rueful, right-handed thing - not quite a deprecating smile, but certainly evoking one.]


Maybe I'll forget too.
postictal: (begging for help im screaming for help)

[personal profile] postictal 2018-12-26 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Because I don't know you, and you definitely know me, and this isn't the first time that I've seen something like this happen.

[He rattles if off...alarmingly easily. It becomes easier, once you've lived it. It's just the first time he's been on this side of it.]
rosswood: (all they'd find would be teeth)

[personal profile] rosswood 2018-12-26 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know how many different kinds of zombies there have been in Wonderland? [He rolls his eyes, like the variation should have been an obvious consideration.] The kind that eat you? The kind that don't? The kind that grow from mushrooms?

Define. "Zombie."
entreats: (to come back home)

[personal profile] entreats 2018-12-26 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ It definitely wouldn't help if she told him the guy he reminds her of looks exactly like him and also has the same name, huh. It'd probably just confuse him, and Ange isn't entirely sure if she wants to have a complicated discussion about alternate realities and multiple versions of yourself with what might be a different, but still as high-energy, Ishimaru.

So maybe it's instead better to focus on the one detail in there that seems unfamiliar to her. ]


Ah.. nice to meet you. [ It doesn't sound very enthusiastic, but that's just low Ange levels of energy.. The usual. ] What's Future Foundation supposed to be, though?
entreats: (when i woke up this morning)

[personal profile] entreats 2018-12-26 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jolyne doesn't even have to mention it's a sensitive subject. The fact that she hesitates for a moment says enough - and there's already an implication in the last part that makes Ange guess as to why she didn't say it right away. But she doesn't just want to assume either, so-- ]

Why wouldn't it be possible? [ It's why her tone is a little softer for once, like she's giving the other full permission to not say it if she doesn't want to. ]
eatsyourscience: (hook up your seatbelt)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2018-12-26 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You talk like you have some other experience.

[He has a bit himself.]
entreats: (she'll find someone to need her)

[personal profile] entreats 2018-12-26 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I met some witches back home.

[ Although everything surrounding that is a complicated story, so it's easier to just simplify it and put it this way. ]

They were pretty much the same as those queens here. Way too much power and way too little responsibility.
battlefront: (let yourself fall ill)

my internet is barely alive and so am i

[personal profile] battlefront 2018-12-26 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Yeah, something's definately messed up here. If anyone has experiences with random lapses of memory and feeling like absolute shit, it's Cloud.]

You sure seem to be.

[He tries not to forget about his friends. Not anymore.]

Listen, just. I dunno, sit down a minute. Try to think. You're in Wonderland with the rest of us, right? You have been.

[Ishimaru listens attentively! And as he does, he does realize another way in which this 'other him' sounds familiar. While he never learned the name of the organization, this does remind him of the other world that he and Sayaka once visited. It feels like so long ago...]

I never expected myself to say these words, but it is a pleasure to meet you, Ishimaru-kun! I believe in your story wholeheartedly, and I am proud that you are satisfied with my explanation! May I also ask... Have we met before?
beatupgrass: (✘ you have 5 seconds to rephrase)

[personal profile] beatupgrass 2018-12-26 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, sure. [Ah yes, the return of procytsun lotor. He waves a hand like pssh. No big deal.] Wonderland's got this bad habit of sending everyone I know home. Probably 'cause it's resentful of the fact that for all that I've been here so long, I still haven't acclimated or accepted my situation.

You've missed... Uh... [He scratches his neck.] Pretty much the usual, actually.
