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! ♥

...

[While he personally may not understand her way of thinking, Ishimaru does know that it is genuinely a struggle for Junko to just abandon all of her plans. However, he's not just going to let that stop him. It's what Naegi-kun would do at least and he owes a lot to the Ultimate Hope for helping him after Mondo's execution.

Not that he's talking to Junko only because of him, but it reinforces his determination. And more than that, they were really friends, one of the few Ishimaru had.]


Then you understand as well that I'm not going to simply give up on you, Enoshima-kun. [She's not the same version as in Verens and thus years of memories aren't there between them, but as long as he's here, Ishimaru is going to do his best to stop the killing game in her world. And at the very least, stop her from spreading her despair here.]

Because you're my friend.

( it's just impossible for him to not fully consider what she had to do in order to make that weapon, considering how rare and terribly difficult the ingredients to dahlia's concoction proved to be. sorry, sis. :c

concern for events well-passed ball inside his chest, as do calculations of each piece she would have needed. sacred soil from her homeland. ash from her oppressors. the blood of the one person she loves most.

klaus considers freya for a pause, and then says,
) A shame it was. ( his response is flatly dealt, if sincere. after a stifled beat and a sucked-in breath, he adds, ) What exactly did you use to kill her?
teamfun: (I'm hard but I'm friendly)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-01-06 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He cackles, clearly very pleased with getting this response from her. He offers up a hearty wink. ]

Just shitting with you.

[One day, she will hit him and he will have absolutely asked for it.]

Mmmmaybe they were making sno-cones? People usually use ice from the freezer instead of...actual nature snow. But it could be that?
teamfun: (And I hope that you don't suffer)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-01-06 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's amazing what a good hunk of denial and determination can do for you. ]

Don't mention it. I'm just sorry you couldn't find her. I know it's hard to be without the people who matter a lot here.

[He'd give anything to have his group here. They're his family, and they deserve this relatively pleasant break from all the horror they're living in. He's been with them for years at this point, and their absence in his life now is very much felt.]

[Ben hesitates, just for a moment, because he really can't get his head around the unlimited food supply thing.]

...You sure? I mean, I don't want you to go hungry or anything.
indirectcause: (Save me from myself)

[personal profile] indirectcause 2019-01-06 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't there, I was still at camp. He...uh. Didn't make it.

[Mark was a cool guy, but yeah, he absolutely got eaten by cannibals. Or at least his legs did. Lee and the rest dealt with the rest of those lunatics and they sure never ate anyone ever again. ]

I...don't really get all this mirror stuff, honestly. I don't even get the Wonderland stuff. But I'm sorry, about the Hell stuff...if you even went through that?

[It's all far too confusing for him. He's still dealing with the walkers being a thing, Wonderland is far Too Much. He shrugs at her question.]

We were crossing the roofs to get across the city we were in. A balcony I was standing on broke and I feel down...onto it. [His hand goes to his stomach where, hours earlier, a rather nasty piece of metal had been sticking through it.] S-someone in my group stuck behind, made sure I was put out of my suffering before the walkers got me.

[A kindness Kenny absolutely didn't have to afford him. Ben had been the cause of so much suffering on the man's part. He didn't deserve Kenny doing that for him.]
indirectcause: (And I didn't know I was lost)

[personal profile] indirectcause 2019-01-06 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I did that and it almost got you killed. Hell, it did get Chuck killed. Not to mention half of our group.

[He thought of himself and he ditched her. He thought of himself and the raiders attacked the motel, and got Duck and Katya killed. Hell, it got Carley killed.]

Way too many people died because of me thinking of myself. I wasn't gonna do that again.

[Wow, rude. Facilier's lip curls, just for a second, before the fake smile is back on again.]

It's never done be wrong before. You're a first. Guess there's always room for things goin' wrong.

[personal profile] changeitroundsome 2019-01-06 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs, it's companionable on the surface, but in reality is anything but.]

Gotta say, I'm usually pretty careful, but I got myself into a patch of trouble lately. Bad client, things went south.

( perhaps one day something will truly shake klaus again. that day is not today, considering what freya claims seems absolutely believable after everything they've heard and seen in wonderland.

klaus rolls his eyes at the idea of technological compulsion, mostly because of course poor imitations are inevitable.
) But he will think it is, ( he says. the eye roll might also have been because of course this machine employed the one emotion that truly cannot be fabricated nor denied by the beholder. ) And that makes him dangerous.

( he sighs. ) What does Jemma feel about all this? ( certainly she'd like to be involved. )
boldsimplicity: (A choice to make)

[personal profile] boldsimplicity 2019-01-06 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He expects no less from him! Whenever things become rough, he's always managed to continue. Whether it's from the difficult life they suffered because of their grandfather or... everything that has resulted from the killing game, surrender was never a viable option!]

Of course! Hard work and effort is what truly changes the world!

[Just take a good look at Naegi-kun! Not to mention, he only really made it out of his despair over Mondo because of him... and Asahina-kun too. They all lost someone really important to them. Although, now that the thought is clear on his mind, Ishimaru no longer can hold his question. He wants to know, even if it's painful. Even if it will bring up bad memories for them both.

So, after closing his eyes for a moment and sucking in a deep breath, Ishimaru soldiers on.]


I apologize if this comes off as a confusing question, but I must ask! ...What is the last thing you remember from our world before coming here?

So unfathomable horrors, but probably without all the blatant racism?

[Doesn't actually sound too different from Greendale now that she thinks about it.]

[personal profile] mothmansplaining 2019-01-07 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well...it's not impossible. Something you did differently in your universe might have led to you being transported to this "Wonderland." But without a look at the event itself, it's impossible to say.

[He doesn't mean for this to be insulting, he really doesn't. But, oops. Classic Ford!]
mothmansplaining: (love and kindness)

[personal profile] mothmansplaining 2019-01-07 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Not quite.

[Nope. This is not Stan. This is like if Stan were hot. Old man hot, sure, but like super-fit, runs-every-day, J-K-Simmons-voice hot. It's probably real weird.]

That's the answer to both your questions, actually. I presume you know my brother, since you mistook me for him --

[Ford lets out another few feet of line from his infinity belt, floating further into the room.]

--and as for a way out, well, that depends on what you mean by out!
mothmansplaining: (that ain't no tricky wind)

[personal profile] mothmansplaining 2019-01-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's tradition!

[Ford totally saw that scene but he's choosing not to comment on the sigil, or the arson. Kind of impolite to peer into other people's lives, don't you think? Besides, he's got a purpose, and that purpose is to give gelt to as many people as he can. Even arsonists!]

Usually there's a game involved, but I'm afraid we don't have much room to play it in. So, here you go! It's all yours, kid.

[He is so confident. Of course you can trust him! He's just a cheerful guy handing out little gold coins in the spirit of the holiday. :D]
mothmansplaining: (he's come back)

[personal profile] mothmansplaining 2019-01-07 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[From behind them, Ford's voice calls out:]

Dipper! Mabel! There you are!

[Which is weird, since Ford is in front of them? Maybe in the future, he's learned to throw his voice.]

[What was she trying to say with the poem? Well, he's not going to ask in caution that she might do another thing that he'd have no idea how to react to.]

I have no need to eat. That's probably better than I'd be able to come up with, though.

[Stan, who has never once had trouble throwing his voice in his entire life, is also behind them.]

We've been lookin' everywhere for you little gremlins! Guess we should've started here though -- pretty sure I'm seeing double, and not just 'cause we're all twins.

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-07 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[...yeah, Bismuth has no idea when that happened relative to what's going on now.]

Well, I guess I can fill you in, even though I was bubbled for the start of it. Turns out Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond and only Pearl knew. Garnet... didn't take it well.
licksthirium: (pic#12653099)

[personal profile] licksthirium 2019-01-07 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a very real possibility that I nearly added in, though.]

That's true. Hmm... I don't really know if I have any favorite places in particular, but I could show you the places you'd probably need to know about.

[He'll start with the kitchen since Hank does need to eat. But god forbid that Hank gets a cheeseburger, you know he'll say something about it.]
mindyourbismuth: (iconing-su5)

[personal profile] mindyourbismuth 2019-01-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Bismuth shakes her head.]

No, that was before. You unbubbled me and told me she and Pearl faked her shattering. And then you invited me to Ruby and Sapphire's wedding!

You keep sushi rice ready? Do a lot of people order it here?

[In this very American looking diner? It must be a more popular dish than he thought.]
mothmansplaining: (then I saw her face)

[personal profile] mothmansplaining 2019-01-07 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Oooh. Stanford likes the look of this card. His guard's coming down a bit -- there's something about showing people exactly what they want to see that has that effect.]

You're right again!

Gosh. I can't believe I found an actual clairvoyant!

[He's excited. His eyes are shining. Maybe he's really going to find out his future here! What's going to be on that third card? Stanford really really really wants to know.]

Okay. I'm ready to hear my future.

[As he picks up the last card:]

Sure hope this doesn't cause an unstable time loop or quantum paradox! Ha ha!

[Following him to the kitchen, she took a seat upon being prompted, letting him make whatever he wanted her to try. The fact that this even had meat was a surprise on it's own, but again... Alternative world.

Taking the sandwich once it was offered, she gave it a try. It was soft bread and it was pretty good over all. She was used to a harder bread, so it was different than what she was used to.]


It's good. [Simple response.] Do you eat stuff like this normally here?

[ Chloe laughs, returning the hug. She's elated to see Ella again, the best friend who has basically become her little sister, and she squeezes her eyes shut as she wraps Ella in a huge hug. ]

It's a really long story, but I'll fill you in. [ When she finally pulls away, she gives Ella a once-over, making sure that's she okay. ] When did you get here?
