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!

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! ♥

[ Oh hi, it's your vampire daughter! Jessica comes up, looking like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. She's not, of course, but drama is kind of her thing. Comes with the territory and all.

So, since Kol's not available to hear her whining, her surrogate mom'll have to do. ]


God, I swear I'm havin' real blood withdrawal!

[ With no pretense whatsoever, she pulls Claire into a nice, cold hug. Then she pauses, making obvious sniffing noises before leaning back to stare. ]

You smell weird.

why don't these redheads leave her alone

[Blood wthdrawal? Before Claire can register what that might possibly mean, she's being hugged. Hugged by a strange young lady that must have the worst circulation in the world, because she feels like ice. It's shock after shock.

It's the terribly rude sniffing that has Claire taking a wide step away.]


What the hell are you doing?

[And she smells fine, thanks!!!]
alsoagirl: "Tim McGraw" (La dee da)

gotta turn the redhead magnet setting off

[personal profile] alsoagirl 2018-12-18 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, wow. Rude. That reaction was totally uncalled for! Claire would totally want to know if she smelled bad!

...And...looked different? Jessica's squinting now. ]


You're kinda bitchy today. Jesus Christ.

[ She's squinting harder. ]

What, you gonna take back your forgiveness now? [ Huff. ] Fuckin' knew it.

[ PARENTS SUCK. ]

What the hell are you even talking about? [She's too confused to remark on the bitchy comment--but it hasn't helped her mood at all. There's a familiarity here, though definitely not from Claire's end of things.]

Oh my God, can you, like, tone down the bitchiness for two seconds? Fuck!

[ Which...strikes her as odd. Their blood bond seems to be on the fritz. Because she is sensing absolutely zero hostility or anger at the moment. If anything, Claire seems to be going about her business, normal and calm as ever.

Now she's so goddamn confused. Her own bitchiness disappears, and her voice sounds hesitant when she next speaks. ]


I--I was talkin' 'bout that fucker Fitz. And what I did to him.

[ Then, with even more hesitation: ] You...remember, right?
