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! ♥

Well, that's...huh.

Jessica's staring. She can't help it. No one's made any wedding announcements lately, so this must be someone who had the shittiest arrival time ever. The face looks vaguely familiar, though, but it's hard to remember why. She thinks of pineapples for some reason.

Huhhh.

Curiosity gets the best of her. Even with the holiday nightmare around them--which, even as fucked up as it was, has been a million times better than any Christmas she's ever had--someone in a wedding dress is too interesting to pass up.

"Lose your husband?"
badgirlshenanigans: (Little lost)

Smoothing out the front of her dress, Jemma tries to sound like this is all a hilarious happenstance of events, "I don't have one, yet. I'm supposed to. My intended's likely missing me."

The smile following is a bit sheepish, because of how out of place she looks, how utterly lost.

That just tugs right at her heartstrings. She's such a sucker for love. "Aww, I'm sorry! Wonderland's the shittiest place ever sometimes."

Then again, she has been noticing a lot more people showing up lately. It'd been kind of quiet beforehand, but now it's like place is trying to throw a party. Maybe, if they were all lucky, it'd be a good party.

Still, she knows how rough it is to be suddenly stuck in this place. She imagines it's like how it'd feel to get tossed into the ocean without floaties. Not that she had to worry much about drowning, though...

"Well, hey! You never know. Married or not, he might've come in with you!" With a sympathetic smile, she asks, "What's his name?"
badgirlshenanigans: (BFF kiss)

Jemma's met a version of her intended already and it's a relief to have a friendlier face. She can only hope one thing. "I hope he hasn't. I don't think he'd be as comfortable here." Seeing the Doctor would only set back the obvious psychological problems everyone else in SHIELD practically ignores.

She worries about Fitz's mental state far more than she lets on.

"Fitz." She says it brightly, like her Fitz is a person worthy to be loved. "Leopold Fitz." She can't handle the idea of him being mistaken for the Doctor. "Not the one you have here."

"Wait. What?"

She's frozen to the spot suddenly. For a second or two, she thinks the woman's spouting nonsense, but by now, she knows better. It only takes a few months in Wonderland to get used to the bullshit it craps out, so it's not that strange.

...Okay, no. It's fucking strange as fuck. Her mouth has fallen open, and trying to compute this is making her brain hurt.

"There's...two Fitzes?" she utters dazedly as that sinks in further. "There's actually one that's not a ragin' dick?"

There's a pause, then, "He's got an evil twin?"
badgirlshenanigans: (About to leap)

If someone hadn’t explained the application of the multiverse theory here, she might’ve been equally confused.

Jemma will defend to the last breath in her body her Fitz. “Yes and no. The one you have is The Doctor.” He doesn’t even deserve the name. “He had his memory, the memory of his whole life changed and that’s how you get this one.” She can’t help but muse raging dick is very appropriate.

As hard as it is, she tries her best to sound detatched, more like she’s explaining a concept to Coulson. “The one I’m marrying is the sweetest man living. He loves monkeys, and playing with technology, he’s overcome a brain injury. He crossed the universe and time to find me. He’s nothing like this.” Okay, he’s done a few questionable things since being brought out of the Framework, but not the Doctor level. Her Fitz needs psychological help. The Doctor, she doesn’t want to admit it, needs putting down, like Ward

Wait, there’s a chance here to take away even more of the Doctor’s power. “This one’s obsessed with pleasing his father and an android named AIDA.” Sure, she’s leaving out quite a bit, but if people find him ridiculous, they won’t be as likely to be afraid, to feel he needs to be killed.

Somewhere, despite telling herself the opposite, she really believes the Doctor could be turned back into Fitz.

Aaand she needs to sit. It doesn't matter where she lands--a chair, the floor, whatever. It's just too hard to keep standing at the moment.

A different Fitz. Even separated from all the scientific mumbo jumbo she'd never be able to understand, she at least knew Wonderland could do weird things with time, among other things. It had never occurred to her that there might be a version of the man that wasn't the walking equivalent of shit on a stick. She wasn't the type to pore over the network and see if maybe there'd be a reason not to mindlessly kill a person. As far as she'd known, this was the only one that existed.

Did that suddenly make what he'd done to her less bad? Was she truly as horrible as she felt she was?

Slowly, Jessica raises her head. Her expression is unreadable.

"He...tortured me. For weeks."

She doesn't know why she's telling a complete stranger this, but she hadn't had much of an outlet (not a healthy one, anyway) for her pent-up feelings on the matter.

Jemma reaches out, like she's going to rub Jessica's arm in comfort, but then thinks better of it. After being tortured for weeks, who wants a relative stranger touching them?

"It's what the Doctor does. He wants something, to know how you work, so he can use the abilities for himself." Jemma's not offering excuses, just wanting the poor girl to understand why it happened.

Most importantly, "I am so sorry." Jemma can't help but empathize with victims of the Doctor. "While I'm here, I'll do what I can, bring Fitz back."

Jessica's quiet. It kind of helps, in a weird way, knowing the real why of things for once. Like, no wonder he liked to focus on her healing ability so much. Most anyone would kill for something like that. Well, she kind of actually did get killed for it...

She looks away with a sigh. Even knowing that, it doesn't make it right.

Eventually, she shakes her head, almost hoping the action will free the conflicted thoughts trapped in her skull. "It's cool," she says, looking back. "I mean, I kinda paid him back."

A lot.

"...How're you plannin' on gettin' the real one back?"

God, the questions Wonderland had her asking. And she thought the shit she dealt with back in Bon Temps was crazy.
