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! ♥

JOINS THE CHORUS OF PEOPLE CHOOSING B I GUESS.
Nope. Fuck that. Reliability in that way is a disease. There is being useful and reliable in a group and there's being useful and reliable to an entire bloody town. He pulls his cards when it's amusing or fortuitous and not a moment more, which is why he's not intimidated or put out to see a new person setting up shop in the tea room.
He's got all of the hallmarks of carnie, or so goes Molly's kneejerk assumption when he enters and takes stock of the situation. He's also a good dresser. Molly's extremely low cut jerkin sees your undershirt-free suit vest and salutes it, sir. This has the potential to be interesting.]
Hard to have a future when time's standing still, friend. [Molly lilts, waiting to take in a reaction to his... everything before proceeding. Meeting new people in Wonderland is a lot of pausing to see how they react to a tiefling.]
HECK YES
Molly is definitely something Facilier has never seen before, and he's seen a lot. He manages to mask most of his surprise though, all bar for some very raised eyebrows.]
Well, take a look at you.
[That too, but he keeps his smile set to charming. ]
As for the future here? They still got one waitin' back home. Or perhaps the cards'll show them a thing or two here, if they got a mind.
no subject
[And all for the sake of his mirror, to boot. He wants to be eye-catching, but it's camouflage for hiding in plain sight, and it looks good on him.]
That's fair. [Molly grins back, pointed canines showing, but it's such a stupid, cheeky grin, it can't even be viewed as a threat display.] I feel like telling the future to another fortune teller is asking for trouble, but if you don't mind a fly on the wall, I'd like to see your technique. Or we could compare stories about gullible marks.
[Because Molly knows a con man when he sees one. You can't con a con, and you can't hide from one either. He doesn't use his cards quite in that way- setting people on wrong paths is bad business- but he still bullshits the fortunes on occasion just to tell people what he sees or what he thinks they want to hear. All he's really doing right now is conversationally calling him out and inviting... well not honesty- fuck that- but at least a measure of transparency.]
no subject
I always find the best clients [he says the word pointedly, but not for Molly's benefit- any bystander can assume he's take offence to the use mark, where he absolutely has not] are the sort who've got it pretty good- but believe they needs more.
[Like Lawrence. He didn't really need what Facilier offered him. Yes, he was a servant, but a servant to a royal family. He was well kept, enough to be fat in a time where poverty was rife. But he overreached, and Facilier was right there to help him along.]
But sure, I wouldn't mind a lil' company while I work. You might attract a few more folks over.
no subject
Molly's just breezing into this like he's found someone willing to give him the time of day at a fortune teller's convention and he's all in for shop talk. And gods does he talk.]
Y'know, the funny thing about those sorts of people is they actually don't need more. They need a lot less. D'you ever get that feeling?
no subject
Still, Molly will sure draw the crowds, and Facilier doesn't totally hate the chance to talk shop with anyone. Not like he gets much of that in the Quarter. He' never really felt the need for companionship, but it's not the worst thing.]
I do! They're usually overreaching- never really aware how good they got it.
[And then they fuck up and you end up dead-but-not-dead. Screw you, Larry. He shuffles his cards idly.]
The ones that actually could use real help almost never show up. They're the ones that work hard til their bones ache and their souls get weary. Never think they got an easy option.
[He would have got Tiana her restaurant, easy as pie, if she'd asked him. It would have come at a heavy price, of course. But all that work for nothing? She's still going back to that now. Nothing. All because of some fool notion that a layabout prince actually loves her. He'd have sympathy for her if she hadn't, you know, fucked him over. ]
no subject
And Molly, grand poobah of the kneejerk assumption, only laughs, assuming he knows precisely what is being discussed here when he's a breath and a set of ethics away from the truth.] You have to be generous to the ones that hang back. They know that snakes will bite. [Molly flashes his right hand to show off the twin snake tattoos that terminate with their heads on his palm and on the back of the hand, their red eyes standing out stark against the green of the ink.] But I don't fuck with anyone who clearly needs a direction and some hope. I save that for the arseholes and the ones who'd be so much happier if they only knew what really mattered to them.
no subject
That they do. They're the ones that have been bit before, and lived to tell the tale.
[This guys sounds like Mama Odie and it makes his stomach churn. Goodie folks like them, always pointing people the right way- usually by getting them to make it on their own path, with little to no actual help. It's a ridiculous waste of talent. He doesn't say anything about it, but he's thinking it mighty hard.]
Sounds like you've got it all figured out.
no subject
Tell you a secret? Craftsman to craftsman? [His grin is childishly gleeful.] I don't have anything figured out. I just do and say precisely what feels right in the moment, and it always works out for me.
[Which explains a lot about Molly, because it's bullshit and not at the same time. He is a mess of contradictions. Everything is based on what works in the moment.]
no subject
And that works for you? Followin' your gut? Don't it get you in trouble? It has to sometimes.
[Facilier can't work that way. He needs layers upon layers of plans. Fallbacks, escape routes, backups. Honestly, if Tiana hadn't gone and got herself in love with that idiot prince, he's pretty sure he would have convinced her to take the deal and he'd of been sitting pretty. Belatedly, he realises he probably shouldn't have brought up her daddy. That was a misstep, he played by his gut and played wrong. Lesson learned. ]
no subject
no subject
[Not that he had one for when the Loa inevitable came to collect. But that was something he hadn't really foreseen. ]

Gotta say, I'm usually pretty careful, but I got myself into a patch of trouble lately. Bad client, things went south.
