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! ♥

Not anymore. [He's not wrong. But.... he didn't think about what he was going to say after this...] About that exit plan. Thanks.

You're very welcome.

[ Kamski smiles. Aw, good boy, Connor. ]

I learned very early on in my career that certain people just can't resist tampering with my code.

[Look. You're kind of a fuck boi, but you also kept him from being taken over by Amanda and CyberLife with that information. So he owes you that much at least. But on that thought...]

Can I ask you a personal question...?
yourmaker: (me voy acercando y voy armando el plan)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-15 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Fuck boy and proud. ]

You can ask, yes.

Amanda Stern... Who is she to you, beyond being your mentor.

[Because he knows that Amanda was designed from her image]
yourmaker: (solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-16 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kamski's smile thins a bit. ]

Amanda stern was someone very dear to me. [ He'll just circle back like he do. ] What would you gain in learning why she mattered to me?

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-16 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Because you clearly designed Amanda in her image. It wasn't until we visited your place and saw the picture that I'd realized she'd been keeping things from me.

[Not really a surprise, but even so.]
yourmaker: (ya me está gustando más de lo normal)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-17 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
The Amanda program I designed was likely quite different from the one used in later versions.

[ People always mess with his code!! He hates that shit. ]

She was something of a guide. Stern, as the name says, but her ultimate purpose was to facilitate growth.

[Connor remembered not wanting to disappoint her. And as he became more aware that things were wrong and the more he deviated, he'd realized he didn't care because of the methods used. Maybe it was facilitating growth, just not in the way she'd wanted.]

It seems like they've changed a lot of your programming since you've left. [He's guessing by some of his remarks. But it wouldn't surprise him.]
yourmaker: (deja que te diga cosas al oído)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I have no doubt of that.

[ Kamski never liked working with people, this is why he's a recluse. ]

Not enough, though. As you know, I always take precautions with my code. Certain parts can't be removed without breaking everything. Coding is funny like that.

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, considering how deviancy seems to be all about breaking coding to some extent, I'm assuming you had some hand in that in the initial design.
yourmaker: (me voy acercando y voy armando el plan)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-18 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
No need to be modest. I'm sure you did that all by yourself.
licksthirium: (pic#12600806)

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-18 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt that I was the only one who had any sort of power over that initially.
yourmaker: (despacito)

[personal profile] yourmaker 2018-12-18 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly wouldn't create walls just so you can knock them down in some dramatic display of free will.

[ sounds like suspiciously specific denial ]
licksthirium: (pic#12600815)

Holidays slowed me down and also writers block. Sorry!

[personal profile] licksthirium 2018-12-29 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Just like how he was at his home, he wasn't likely to give him a straight up answer, it seemed.]

Well, regardless, you obviously had some sort of play in all of this.
