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! ♥

[Santana. Santana doesn't love small talk.

But whatever; she remembers this guy, and talking about Brittany always relaxes her anyway, so she won't be too bitchy.]


Four months, two weeks, and five days. You're back too, huh?

[no, the narration did not just spend over an hour trying to pinpoint the exact date of the wedding only to come up with nothing and therefore make up a number, whatever do you mean?]
oversight: ([±] whatcha dooooin'?)

[personal profile] oversight 2018-12-14 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[ He nods and shrugs because he's about as back as he can be. Nothing permanent as far as he figures, nothing he can do about it, and no way to prove he's anything more than part of event. Hell, it's hard not to think being gone wasn't all a part of it and the joke's on him. ]

So you're married? Brittney, or..? [ He seems to remember them being very close. ] Where was the honeymoon gonna be?
itsahotone: ([britt] breadstix)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2018-12-14 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Brittany.

[She agrees, happy just to say her name--though she also says it pointedly, like she could hear that misspelling. how dare you.]

We were totally on our way to the Bahamas for a month, and now I'm stuck here. Again. I'm missing my all expenses paid honeymoon for this!

[ Oh, god, he totally hears that correction and holds up his hands in surrender until she finishes. ]

Brittany, right.

All expenses paid, huh? That's pretty swanky. Somethin' to look forward to.

santana sees you and dean reuniting and fully expects to see making out just saying

[personal profile] itsahotone 2018-12-15 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, our old Coach's wedding present. [it still feels a little weird, getting something so generous from that woman, even after the other wonderful thing she did for her, but santana's trying to accept it like a normal person. a person without endless suspicion and cynicism.]

And I was looking forward to it, but this freakin' pit of despair refuses to leave me alone!

[after a moment, she displays actual character growth from getting a bit older, and doesn't focus purely on herself! be impressed.]

So what'd you leave this time?
oversight: ([±] blue)

HAHAHA AS IF

[personal profile] oversight 2018-12-15 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs, crossing his arms loosely. Honestly, he won't say as much, but he can tell she's grown. The fact that she didn't roll her eyes, give him the finger, and leave already is pretty impressive, yeah. ]

More of the same. After a point, not much changed, y'know?

[ John wrinkles his nose. ]

That makes me sound old.

[ And then, because who else could she mean?: ]

Shannon's here?
itsahotone: (hmm. you think so?)

then stop acting in love!! ;P

[personal profile] itsahotone 2018-12-18 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
You are old. [it comes out automatically, even though santana's pretty sure he's not super old anyway.]

Shannon? Oh, no, she was never our coach. I meant our Cheerios coach. Crazy, mostly evil lady.

But yeah, I think Coach Beiste's here too.
oversight: ([±] it's a picnic)

I'm sure I don't know what you mean! 😅😅😅

[personal profile] oversight 2018-12-18 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so the... crazy, mostly evil lady paid for you to go to the Bahamas for a month? Sounds like she really hated you guys, haha.

[ He smirks. At least it sounds like no one's tamped down that characteristic Santana characteristic spirit. But even if they've never quite been close, he finds he wants to (god help him if she finds out...) nurture a little. ]

Was it nice? The wedding?
itsahotone: (nervous habit)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2018-12-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kinda her M.O. She's an evil bitch like 80 percent of the time and then suddenly she'll do something nice like pay for honeymoons, or buy auditoriums for people she supposedly hates. [santana...sounds pretty nonchalant about this, really.]

But I refused to allow her to come to the wedding at all so she was kinda desperate.

[which led to an actual sincere gesture of kindness she'll never be able to repay the coach for, but that's not important to this discussion. besides, she's smiling again, remembering just the day before.]

It was the best freakin' wedding anyone's ever been to. And we were the hottest brides to ever exist, basically.
oversight: ([+] kinda fond of you)

[personal profile] oversight 2018-12-21 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Talk about suspicious... John's not entirely sure what to think of this desperate 80 percent evil bitch of a financier. He decides it's much more preferable to focus on the rest. ]

Too bad I missed it. [ He totally would have showed. ] Must be crazy havin' to wait to go back, but at least you know how it goes. Wouldn't be my choice for buildin' a little suspense, though.

You two live together yet? Or is that the next step?
