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! ♥

Marco watches, interested in spite of himself, as Jean fires up the television. He could use the distraction too, and it seems like this is something Jean enjoys talking about.

The way the screen changes from black to suddenly colorful makes him jump, and Marco gets off the couch to get closer to it and investigate. "Can I touch it?"

He lifts one hand tentatively, but won't touch unless he gets confirmation that he can. He'd hate to break Jean's toy, after all.

[Ishimaru gives a confused sweatdrop at the idea of it being 'sexy and cool'. But he quickly perks up at her suggestion and smiles brightly.]

Ah yes! What a brilliant idea, Monika-kun! He can stand as an influential example of how cool it can be not to smoke! Ahahaha! After all, what is 'cooler' than a snowman?

[He doesn't joke often, but he sounds proud of this one! At the same time, he can't help but notice Monika's hands as she grabs onto the snow. his smile fades slightly in concern.]

Er... Monika-kun, are your hands alright? You are not wearing any gloves!

( 'behavioral issues' can imply a variety of things. particularly for leopold, klaus can only guess. another failed attempt at finding a way out of here, perhaps?

he senses from freya's tone she's not willing to part with more. he'll find out in time. he has plenty of his own devices.

klaus pauses as she invites herself behind the bar, noting that as well. then he sits at a stool as she pours.
) So business as usual, more or less.

[Mabel clasps her hands over her chest and blushes scarlet.] He's used to the finest quality, so it's only cashmere and complicated stitching patterns for this pig.

[And with Boris getting all the scritches he can muster, Mabel flings herself forwards and grabs a hold of his skinny arm to hug him.] You have got to see my collection. It's kind of gotten intense since the last time I saw you. Between events, there's a lot of furious knitting days. I don't think I've worn the same sweater twice in, like, a year.

[personal profile] keephersafe 2018-12-31 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... no... I've got it. I'll get it.

[If he doesn't keep trying to do these things on his own, he feels like he's never going to get the hang of it. Still semi-numb fingers slide over the smooth packaging again before he finally tightens his grip enough to pull it open.

R sighs.
]

It's like... they don't want people getting into them.

[personal profile] saunteredvaguelydownwards 2018-12-31 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... so far.

[He doesn't trust it one bit, and lets his eyes rove mistrustfully around the cafe as he sips the coffee.]

What do you think this time. Possessed santa ornaments? Tinsel snakes? Day of the Christmas Triffids?

I suppose I have seen some Hearth's Warming dolls around.

[She rolls her eyes because she is the Pony Grinch and hates Hearth's Warming. But talking about Wonderland and magic is more interesting.]

It, I think. Wonderland seems to have some sort of inherent sentience and magic. From what I understand, it's not like anything anypony's heard of before they got here.
ssmisery: (whatever you say o fearless liter)

[personal profile] ssmisery 2018-12-31 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe not. I'll take your word for it.

[Living without consequences... you can do that anyway, and it sounds nice, but it seems like maybe that's a trap. Like the very fine line between not having to do anything and not being able to do anything. There's a lot to sort out there, though, and Lapis isn't willing to get more than a little thoughtful about it right now.]

"This time around"?
krmvgivv: (but i meant well)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-12-31 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dipper sighs dismally.]

Yeah, that part was nice. It was Mabel's birthday present to me. She knows how hard it's been.

[He gives her a glance from the corner of his eyes.]

You've been stuck in puberty even longer than I have. How do you deal with it?
krmvgivv: (wish i could follow them somehow)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2018-12-31 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
What? It makes a lot more sense than her randomly being named Blair.

[He's assuming that's what the Blair Witch version is.]
otherplaces: (2)

[personal profile] otherplaces 2018-12-31 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not bothered. Felt it important to be clear, is all. I always like when things are clear, rare as that may be.

[She tilts her head, eyeing the other Alice curiously.]

More like we're sisters than the same person, don't you think?

Why is that always a thing with sports...

[All the steroids, probably. Crowley can't complain too much. It's another one of those things that humans don't actually need steering into. Makes his job easier when they're doing this stuff all on their own.]

And, mhm, it 'seriously' was, but it's a fair warning. Most things here aren't exactly what you'll expect.

[Beatrice is so surprised she actually just drops the snowball she was hiding behind her back. Because she had been planning on smushing a snowball into his face again, but... he's hugging her.

She freezes up for a moment, unsure how to handle this now that they're both human. Sure, they hugged back when they were both here, but that was a long time ago for her, and the last time she hugged him, it had been with wings, not arms. This is...

It's nice.

Almost without realizing it, she starts hugging him back.]

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She kneels in front of Peridot.]

Okay, what do you remember? You know who the Crystal Gems are. You don't remember me or Yellow Diamond. Do you remember Ruby and Sapphire's wedding?
mindyourbismuth: (iconing-su13)

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
What? You haven't come back, you just left. [She tilts her head.] How can you not remember this? You and the other diamonds just left for homeworld minutes ago? Y'know, since you're one of them and everything.
mindyourbismuth: (iconing-su5)

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-01 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Bismuth is smart enough to pick up on it. She's still worried about Peridot and Lapis, but if time's weird here, that could explain something else.]

So you're saying, maybe you don't know me cause I'm from the future?
mindyourbismuth: (iconing-su(217))

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-01 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's them! [She beams.] Glad to hear they've reformed. Haven't known them long, but once I've fought Blue and Yellow Diamond to their faces alongside someone, I'm more than honored to call them friend.
choosetruth: (one we'll never lose)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2019-01-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[This is so much better than talking about her own problems, she steps in closer, frowning under her sunglasses.]

But you haven't been in Wonderland before. That you remember, at least. Does this have to do with your... memory problems from back home?
choosetruth: (georgia28)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2019-01-01 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she loves when people condescend to her. Just loves it. She pulls off her sunglasses so he can get the full force of her creepy, dead-eyed glare. There are a lot of downsides to having her shitty eyes back. She'll pay for this move with a migraine later. But the effect is worth it. Especially since she doesn't blink much.]

Are you any kind of zombie?
postictal: (that sounds like total bullshit my guy)

[personal profile] postictal 2019-01-01 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She knows about those, huh?]

[The pause that gives him is small and faint and so brief it's easily missed, unless someone happens to know him well enough to call attention to it. So they were...friends. Or, at least, they knew each other. Circumstances demanded that they knew each other.]


How much do you know about that?
rosswood: (what'd you shoot this with a potato)

[personal profile] rosswood 2019-01-01 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh cool she has creepy eyes the way Chara did which means she might not be entirely human and, wow, that is definitely something he needs in his life right now!]

I just died, if that's what you're asking. Wonderland rules brought me back and I'm not craving any living flesh, so you figure it out.
choosetruth: (you're getting too old)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2019-01-01 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She shifts her bag around in front of her and pulls a small bottle of pills out in response, holding them out to him.]
choosetruth: (bex4)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2019-01-01 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
So you're not a zombie. Of any kind. Was that so fucking hard?

[She shoves her glasses back on her face aggressively.]

And you're not new to Wonderland, either, though you've been gone long enough that I don't know you. But you remember.

[Which normally wouldn't be possible, but normally's gone out the window this week.]
burntvideocassette: (a bit sad and a bit scared)

[personal profile] burntvideocassette 2019-01-01 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[That's good.]

[No snide remarks about the time he spent on the footage, nothing about the hours (days by now, probably) wasted alone in the theater, nothing about how he should get his ass up and do something productive for a change. Not that Tim really did any of that to begin with, but it's hard not to expect it.]

[After so many calls from an old, familiar number, after a constant stream of notifications pestering him for the next update, after a monster and a murderer breathing down his neck for four years, it's hard not to expect it.]

[Archie seemed to like Tim, the few times they met in person.]

[That's good.]

[Jay clears his throat. Doesn't look up for a bit.]


You?
uncoils: (You love you learn)

[personal profile] uncoils 2019-01-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but wait, you know what it could be?

[She has no idea, and figures it can't really hurt her worse than reality and what she knows of her future already did.]

What is it?
