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 seats himself neatly as he contemplates the different choices of what to eat. There's a lot of possibilities to explore! He likes to eat healthy, but he also understands that he should be more adventurous and try a variety of foods. After all, tasting a variety of foods is like studying for one's taste buds. ...Hm, he doesn't recognize the girl taking orders, but he won't question it. Maybe it has to do with that reported influx...]

That is a good question, and I regret not having an answer at the ready! Could I have some more time... ah, and I would also like to inquire about today's special! [He doesn't even know if this place does specials, but he'll test the water anyway.]

Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pressure you at all. Please, take all the time you need.

[She's very sincere in her apology, and nods her head in a small bow as she does. She shouldn't have assumed he was ready to order!]

Hm...well, for the holidays we've been making fried chicken and Christmas cake! It's something the diner does every year for Christmas. Colonel Santa even comes to visit the diner from the closets, just like at fried chicken restaurants in Japan!

[She says that, but...then she suddenly remembers what happened when they tried to pull Colonel Sanders Santa out of the closets this year - this year, he'd started to glitch something terrible, to the point where they'd had to just put him back. A look crosses her face, one suggesting that if she had remembered the glitching she would not have brought him up.]

A-Ah, except....I'm afraid Colonel Santa won't be coming this year. He couldn't make it... B-But the fried chicken is still very good!
moraloutrage: (much thought)

Please do not feel the need to apologize! If I had only studied the menu more thoroughly, then it would not have come to this! [He answers back with both sincerity and volume. But he pauses as he considers her offer.]

It is truly a shame that Colonel Santa is not expected to make an appearance this year! I wish that I had the chance to have a word or two to him regarding the health value of his food!

[At least he can still have the food itself. He thinks her offer over some more.]

Now, normally I prefer to avoid eating friend chicken. That is one tradition I have not taken part in at home. However, I respect that this establishment is holding onto a part of Japanese tradition! I also should expand my horizons... so I would say that yes, I would like an order of fried chicken and Christmas cake!

The health value?

[She tilts her head a bit, but then he elaborates and it suddenly clicks!]

Oh! I guess that's true...maybe we should have a more healthy special to go along with our holiday one. If you want, I could make you something a little more healthy! I-I wouldn't want you to feel like you have to eat something if you would prefer something else. Or um, maybe I could bring you something healthy on the side? So um-- maybe the bad health value would just cancel out!

[Tohru, that's isn't how nutrition or math work.]
moraloutrage: (slight sweat)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2018-12-28 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... I do not believe that it works in that way! I appreciate the thought, but I do not wish to impose too much upon this establishment. [He looks up in determination.]

I suppose that I can afford to eat some fried chicken! Having just a little might not be the end of me! Please, do not worry yourself on my account!

It wouldn't be an imposition at all! We're here to cook food that makes people happy. Actually, when I was here it was really nice. I learned how to cook a lot of things I wouldn't have otherwise because people asked for them.

[Of course, she forgot them as soon as she went home, but it's coming back to her.]

Ah! I'm talking too much -- I'll be right back with your Christmas special!

[She disappears momentarily, and when the food is ready she comes back with three things: a small order of fried chicken, a slice of Christmas cake...and a small plate of edamame, because it was a quick thing to prepare alongside it that would be healthier.]

I hope it's okay that I brought out something healthy anyway. Please, enjoy!

[Ishimaru hears her out, and he looks proud that she learned how to cook a wide variety of foods! Any type of learning is valuable to him, after all, the sign of a hard worker!

And he looks pleased as the order arrives.]


Ah... How delightful! It is quite alright that you brought something healthy. In fact, it is for the best! I will be sure to enjoy every aspect of this meal, which was prepared as a labor of hard work! This I promise you!
