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! ♥

[Catra doesn't know what kind of princess ridiculousness this is, and she honestly doesn't care. She just wants to get home. She's got a mission to pull off. Being here isn't helping.

She claws her way up into the tree where she can watch everyone from high above, nothing showing but her two glowing eyes.

At least, until she gets hungry. Then she can be found in the kitchen, taking advantage of the many offerings the kitchen has. She sits on top of a table and uses a claw to open a can of tuna. She eats it greedily, glaring around at anyone who might try and take it away.]

[Okay, Entrapta is just enraptured by this place. Okay, it's not all tech all the time, but it's ~*~magical~*~ and it's a holiday apparently? And the decorations keep singing at her and wow, this tree is growing out of the floor, it is just too much.

For a little while, anyway. Then it kind of gets old and she sits down on the floor at the base of the tree, fiddling with a network device with her hair, going through the archive quickly. She even tries to post but--]


"Overload"...? But I haven't done anything yet. Maybe the influx of people is too much of a strain on their network? It must be pretty limited, if...

[She trails off, mumbling to herself for a few minutes, before getting her recorder out of her pocket.]

Okay! Wonderland, day 1!

[Oh hey, it's their new pet nerd. Catra lowers herself out of the tree quietly to look over Entrapta's shoulder.]

What are you doing?
tinyfoods: (/technobabble)

[personal profile] tinyfoods 2018-12-21 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hi Catra!

[Like it's totally natural Catra would be there, too.]

I'm trying to figure out how this communications network functions without any sort of signal origin. It's like magic, but these devices aren't magic at all. It reminds me of First Ones tech, a little, except of course, First Ones tech was advanced beyond belief!
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-100)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2018-12-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's not First Ones tech?

[Because she was just kind of assuming. She doesn't really get technology in the same way Entrapta does, even slightly, but she does know that stuff that makes this little sense is probably First Ones tech. In her experience.]

What else could have brought us here?
tinyfoods: (Well that didn't work)

[personal profile] tinyfoods 2018-12-26 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea!

[She's way too cheerful about it, but then seems to sober up a bit.]

But I don't think it's connected to Etheria at all. Etheria's technological interface is self-contained. As far as I know from all observable data, the runestones and other First Ones tech can't punch through space-time. Probably.
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-164)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2019-01-01 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Probably? [Catra's ears flatten.] Does that mean there's a chance they can?
tinyfoods: (Welcome to Plan B)

[personal profile] tinyfoods 2019-01-03 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I never got the chance to test something like that with the black garnet.

[Though now she absolutely wants to try.]

[Even Tohru takes breaks from the diner now and then, and a lot of those breaks are spend wandering around Wonderland and taking in all the sights around her. The decorations are beautiful! And she never knew a tree could grow from the floor like that.]

This is incredible! I wish Mom could see it...

[Not that she truly wishes Wonderland on anyone, but her mother would appreciate the beautiful sights and unnatural wonders. She watches the tree for some time, basking in the peacefulness of it all.

...at least, until she spots a part of cat eyes looking back at her.
]

Oh! I'm sorry, kitty. I didn't mean to disturb you.
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-103)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2018-12-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Catra scowls and leaps out of the tree, landing crouched on her feet. She tilts her head and scowls at Tohru, ears flicking backwards.]

It's Catra.

[personal profile] breakthecurse 2018-12-28 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Tohru never saw this coming and nearly jumps out of her skin.]

O-Oh! I'm really sorry! I didn't-- I thought you were a real cat up there! I didn't realize you were a girl! That was really rude of me!

[The ears absolutely catch her attention, but she suspects now is maybe not the right time to point them out.]
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-124)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2019-01-01 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, the name's Catra. [She bares her teeth, and prods the badge on her chest.] And what I am is a Force Captain of the Horde. So maybe don't try me.
breakthecurse: ただいま! (I'm in love with the ordinary)

[personal profile] breakthecurse 2019-01-10 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh! I'm really sorry, Captain! I didn't realize. I've never met a Captain before!

[And she certainly doesn't know much about military ranks. Even if it had been a badge from her world, she probably wouldn't have been able to identify it.]

That's really amazing though! Wow, a Captain...but, what is the Horde?
beatupgrass: as your god (✘ and you will worship me)

[personal profile] beatupgrass 2018-12-17 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[As someone who frequently hides in trees to ambush people, Rocket understands what Catra is doing. The fact that she's being creepy about it is why he's going to ruin it for her as he passes underneath the tree.]

That's how people get shot, y'know? I feel like everybody's waiting for the monster part of this crap, and you're doing a good impression of one right now.
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-055)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2018-12-21 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She prowls along a branch to follow him from above.]

I'd like to see them try to shoot me.
beatupgrass: but he plays dudes that are normal size in movies (✘  tom cruise is a midget)

[personal profile] beatupgrass 2018-12-21 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[what is this flerkin-human hybrid freak. said the freak of science.] I mean I could try, but I'm told it's rude to shoot people before you've introduced yourself, and I'm working on my manners.

[Kind of.]
meowdiocre: (hey adora)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2018-12-25 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse you, her name is Catra not Flerkinra.]

Where I come from, that would get you dead.
Edited 2018-12-25 22:44 (UTC)
beatupgrass: (✘ i liked the parts with me in them)

[personal profile] beatupgrass 2018-12-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Havin' manners? [he pauses.] Yeah, that's fair. I've never known a place where things go better for you if you're polite.

[The Sovereign........................?]
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-115)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2019-01-01 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know a place like that.

[A terrible, friend stealing place filled with princesses and niceness. She bets Adora's new friends are super polite.]

It's boring and dumb.

Yo, never hear of a can opener?

[Or table manners?

Not that he isn't a little impressed, cat-lady, with the tools already to hand (pun inintended). He gives her a sidelong look as he pulls a jar down from a cupboard and opens it.

Whole universes a' food at yer command an' y' go fer a can a' tuna. Must really like that stuff.
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-058)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2018-12-25 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She squints at him because no, she hasn't heard of a can opener, really. And this is her can of tuna leave her alone.]

I've never had it before.
thecourier: (031)

[personal profile] thecourier 2018-12-29 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Think about tryin' it fresh.

[The jar he chose happens to contain peanut butter, and he grabs some bread to go with it.]

Or salmon. Had that?
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-055)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2019-01-01 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what that is either.

[The Horde always has extremely nutritious food. It's not big on meal variation or flavor.]

Does it taste like this stuff?
thecourier: (083)

[personal profile] thecourier 2019-01-04 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... it's fish, so kinda, but a bit different.

[He sets his own things down and reaches into a cupboard to find a tin of salmon, which he shows to her with slightly raised eyebrows.]

Here. Wanna try it? Never had it m'self before here.
meowdiocre: (She-Ra 02-058)

[personal profile] meowdiocre 2019-01-07 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She squints at it suspiciously.] How do I know you haven't poisoned it?
