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! ♥

[ haha, a joke. but connor doesn't laugh. he recognizes this model, the ax400 that he watched die. it was unfortunate, because he was supposed to take the deviants back to cyberlife, not let their bodies be mangled and unable to be cataloged. amanda was disappointed in him. it was...unpleasant. ]

I have knowledge files for Christmas traditions.

[ although realtalk he's starting to wonder if this place doesn't, because it seems to have a mixture of a number of different holiday traditions, not just christmas. ]

I don't know why there's one for me. It's pointless.

[ androids can't own personal property??? ]

[ What smile that'd managed to form dies quickly, her defenses going back up to max. She squints briefly, suspicious. ]

Fictional Wonderland doesn't operate on logic, either. But maybe you wouldn't have knowledge files for that.

[ That might almost sound sarcastic if hadn't come out so defensively. Because wow, seems like the android Grinch just entered the building... ]

There's nothing wrong with a nice gesture.

[ he's here to take away christmas from all the androids ]

I don't know that I agree. Treating machines like humans gives them a false sense of who -- and what -- they are. At best, it gives them a false sense of hope and an inevitable let down. At worst, it impairs their functions and keeps them from doing what they're supposed to.

[ She's squinting harder. Her eyes flicker over to his stocking again, notice that there's one next to it bearing the same name and serial number.

Maybe she shouldn't have left her gun in her room. ]


And what are they "supposed" to do?

[ slightly different - the last two numbers on his are higher. his body was damaged significantly more times than the other one. ]

Follow orders.
hadtolose: (I never really noticed)

[ She asked, even if she figured that was the answer he'd give. It tugs her mouth into a tight frown.

Kara turns her gaze away, unable to look at him any longer. It's a glimpse into the past that she doesn't want to remember. ]


I guess a machine would know that best.

[ Her lips press together for a moment as she fights down some anger. A pitiful display to him, probably.

Again, she asks a question that she probably doesn't need to bother with, but it'll at least confirm her suspicions. ]


Do you know where Jericho is?
preconstruction: (LfVIV2n)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-14 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Jericho was destroyed.

[ no remorse, ride or die. ]

Unless you're referring to that other model's unfortunately named dog. Then, I suppose it's with him.
hadtolose: (Till it runs red)

[ Well, at least that's settled. She almost wants to roll her eyes, but she has tact. Unlike somebody. ]

It's nice that he named him that.

[ Not that she appreciates it or anything! But she's not going to argue about it with him. It'd be pointless. More important was the prospect of having to deal with a Connor that hadn't learned compassion and probably would've gladly let Alice or Luther die if it meant following orders. She could only imagine this was Wonderland being Wonderland.

She doesn't know quite why she does it, but she steps over to his stocking and pulls it down. It's tempting, the idea of throwing it into a raging fire.

Kara looks up at him. ]


I almost feel sorry for you.

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-15 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't strain your systems trying.

[ not just because she can't -- she's deviant, obviously she believes she can so whatever. but also because, he doesn't want her pity. he doesn't need it. he's perfectly satisfied with who he is. he completed his mission. what more could he possibly want? ]
hadtolose: (Green is the planet)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-16 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ That deepens her frown, narrows her eyes. He probably needed to get chucked into the fire with the stocking. He probably wouldn't mind it, though...

She wonders if this how she was before waking up. ]


I won't. I've had enough on my mind lately. You had plenty to do with that.

[ Yeah yeah, not the same Connor, not the same circumstances. But it's nice to gently release some pent-up anger on the version who wouldn't care. ]
preconstruction: (PcljimA)

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-16 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine killing a human gives you plenty to think about without my help.

[ just, as a thought. but by all means throw his stocking in the fire it's chill. ]
hadtolose: (But then you try to touch them)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-17 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ At this rate, she's going to rip the thing in half. Her voice is already getting louder. ]

He was hurting her! I wasn't going to just let that keep happening!

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-17 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, good. at least she admitted to it. it was a ship that had long since past for him, but there was something satisfying about getting the confession, anyway. positive feedback from his program for a job well done. ]

So, what? You couldn't call the police? You thought vigilante justice was better?
hadtolose: (And you as we found out)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-17 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Damn right she admitted it. Give her the body, let her shoot him again!!

Like, what's he gonna do, arrest her? ]


You know they'd never have listened to me.

[ Kara tosses the stocking to the floor, her hands balling into fists. ]

I did what I knew was right.

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-17 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't know that.

[ he works with the law and the law is not mocked. ]

I know that it's the proper protocol, and all you did was end a humans life.
hadtolose: "Get Free" (God knows we've got them)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-17 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kara takes a few steps closer to him. She's a little shrimp, and her gun is far from on her, but she gives zero fucks. ]

He deserved it for what he put her through.

[personal profile] preconstruction 2018-12-17 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's behavior like that that makes humans so afraid of deviants.

[ he doesn't flinch though. he's certainly not afraid of her. ]
hadtolose: (Were not in your right mind)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-17 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe they shouldn't have made us fear them first.

[ After a sharp huff, she turns and walks away. Shocking! ]
