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! ♥

[ The instinct to take her into his arms, to kiss her, to soothe any distress she may be feeling, is strong and palpable. They barely know each other in the time she's come from, but he loves her all the same.

He steps closer and takes the empty chair across from her. ]


I couldna stay away, but I thought it kinder to grant ye a wee bit of time before I sought you out.

[ To ask her how she is, if she's all right, seems absolutely absurd. So. ]

I know this place is verra strange indeed, and after ye've just come through the stones. [ It's so much for her to process in a short span of time. ]

[He's aged well. Gone is all the boyish roundness to him, though she can still see the charm in his eyes. His hair's not as vibrant of a red, but the hint of its former glory is there, plain as day.]

I've spoken to myself as a fifty year old woman, and I've spoken to a young woman that's... my daughter. A daughter I have with you. Strange is an understatement.

[ Looking upon his wife with her youthful features, he's struck by the fact that his wife now - even more than twenty years older - hasn't aged but a day. There's a bit of grey in her hair, true, and a few extra accentuating curves in her cheeks, perhaps (not wrinkles, not to Jamie), but she hasn't aged. Her eyes are the most striking, though. This Claire, there's so much pain she hasn't yet had to carry. It hasn't settled in her eyes like a shadow. ]

Aye. I dinna think the right word exists to explain this place and the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

[ He tries to find some common ground, a way to connect them with such a gulf between them thanks to the time from which she hails. ]

I've only just met our daughter myself. A few weeks, at most.

[If Claire can manage to feel grateful about anything here, it's seeing that in twenty years she still has nice skin and is trim. Jamie's not fared too badly himself. But it's not polite to stare, and so she averts her eyes after a long moment.]

A few weeks seems like a drop in the pond considering her age.

[A daughter with her future self, that he didn't raise. What a mess. A sad, sad mess. She might not be able to wrap her head around much of this, but she does know that Jamie's the sort of man that would want to be with his children. Raise them and love them and protect them.]
