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! ♥

[ Markus pauses at that, watching her reaction. A hand comes up to rest on her own, squeezing it lightly. Something didn't go right--or as planned. He just doesn't know how to bring it up without potentially causing her more pain than she already is in. ]

Our people are free.. or at least freer than they were before. But, I get the feeling that's not what happened for you.
hadtolose: (And now I do)

Honestly? I'm not sure...

[ Like, Wonderland, could you not with this? ]

Right before I got here, me and Alice... [ She sighs. ] We hadn't made it to the bus terminal yet. So anything could've happened.

[ Her brow tightens for a moment. ] As long as I'm in Wonderland, I won't know anything.

[ The two Connors were definitely doing nothing to help with her worries. ]

[ Markus glances around and pulls up a seat for him and her. He still holds her hand - for as long as she'll let him. ]

So, you haven't found your way to Canada just yet. [ That means anything could still happen when they get home. He offers her a small smile. ] I think you'll make it there. You're determined, Kara. Especially when it comes to that little girl you have with you. [ Regardless if she's an android or not. ]

I don't suppose you've heard of a way for us to return to our Detroits.

[ She really appreciates this about Markus, his ability and willingness to give comfort. Even though she hardly knew him, he was able to calm her in a way only few could.

Kara squeezes his hand and nods. ]


I'll do anything I can to get her there. Whenever that is, she'll get there, even if I don't.

[ The gravity of that weighs on her for a moment, but she tries not to dwell on it for much longer. ]

From what the living Connor told me, leaving isn't something we can do. Or it's not something we can control, at least.

[ She returns his smile with a small one of her own. ] I'm sure you want to get back just as much as I do.

[ There is a bit of a frown at that comment... but he knows it's true. He would do anything for his brothers and sisters. Even if that meant taking more than a few bullets that would kill him. ]

I'd prefer it if you got there together. Though, I'm sure you already know that.

[ The Living Connor. That's so strange to hear. ]

Things are... tense still. We've been given our freedom, but it'll take years for people to accept it. Id prefer if humans came back to Detroit and we build something together. But, I'm not sure that will happen so easily.

[ It's strange to be able to open up to Kara this way. They barely knew each other, but, it's comforting. Easy. It's either because of her model number, or because she out of anyone he met at Jericho seems to understand it. ]
hadtolose: (With beautiful problems yeah)

[personal profile] hadtolose 2018-12-30 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ It takes some time for all of that to digest. To hear these things from someone so important to her, to her people...it means that much more. ]

Yeah. Yeah, thanks.

[ She studies him after saying that, her words almost sounding dazed. It's hard to imagine what he's been through in his position to get that freedom. For a second or two, she feels small in comparison. Almost unworthy of his concern.

Kara shakes it off. He's given her a more pressing issue to worry about. ]


Even after everything, you want to work with them?

[ Her deep frown and the way her frame has tensed up probably says everything about her opinion on that. ]
