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! ♥

[Ishimaru comes to this tea room pretty regularly for a nice, invigorating cup of tea! Now he can't help but notice the set-up that man has in the corner. Tarot card readings? That reminds him of one of his classmates back home. ...Except that was someone who dismissed most forms of fortune telling as occult while still trying to make money as the SHSL Fortuneteller.

Ishimaru steps closer out of curiosity and listens to his pitch.]


Good day, sir! One single smile? Why, that is a remarkably low price to charge for one's fortune! [He's used to Hagakure taking every opportunity he can to charge thousands for the simplest of fortunes.] I must say that I never have been one for this sort of thing. But... if I learn the future, can I change it?! [He says, hope entering his voice.]

[The people in this place get more and more interesting as the day goes on. ]

I'm offerin' it as a one time deal. Seen as I'm new and all. Besides, ain't like money does us much good here, no?

[He'll just have to find power by other means. It's just a detour, he can work with it. His grin widens at the question.]

Of course! All it takes is a little ingenuity. I made it my business, back home, changin' folks' futures for them. Givin' them what they wanted.

[But not what they needed. That side was Odie's shtick. ]

[He responds with a mild smile.]

You have raised a good point! There is no point in charging anything in a place without any money. [Though he's sure Hagakure would do it anyway.]

This might not be a profession that I understand or truthfully believe in, but I admire your sense of dedication to it, sir! Ah... I am open to allowing you to see into my future!

You'd be surprised, how many cynics I've changed in the years. Real magic, that's something else.

[But hey, he got a smile, so he offers up his tarot cards.]

Sure thing, shuffle them, and the pick two, and we'll see what you've got ahead.
