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! ♥

[There's no denying the way that Ella was definitely wrapped up in all of this, and just the generalized what the hellness of it all. After all, she was a nerd and this was somewhat a bit like nerd heaven. Or nerd hell depending on where exactly your behavior seemed to go. Despite her problems with God at the moment, Ella still expected she'd go up. But Chloe being here when she should be home made her wonder.

Still, she threw open her arms for the woman who was her best friend, and who also was one of the few people who knew her secret and didn't judge her. Something that was still a miracle in and of itself that Ella wouldn't change for anything. So, if Chloe thought that she was getting away with not being hugged (even before she knew that her friend had been here for a while) then she was crazy.
]

Oh my god! Chloe, what are you doing here?
thevulnerability: can use please credit (✥ couldn't say what i wanted to say)

[ Chloe laughs, returning the hug. She's elated to see Ella again, the best friend who has basically become her little sister, and she squeezes her eyes shut as she wraps Ella in a huge hug. ]

It's a really long story, but I'll fill you in. [ When she finally pulls away, she gives Ella a once-over, making sure that's she okay. ] When did you get here?

Yeah, I definitely need to be filled in! I got here like... two seconds ago I guess. Not very long. Just long enough to know how weird it is. I mean, it doesn't feel like I'm dreaming but I do have like really vivid dreams and stuff so I guess I really don't know. But I think it'd probably be a little crazier in my dreams.

[Ella is clearly ramping up before she takes a minute to breathe and try and focus on something else.]

I know. Too much.Tone it down, Ella.
thevulnerability: (✥ it's the one thing you can choose)

[ Chloe shakes her head, reaching out to rest her hand on Ella's arm. ]

No, you're fine. Really. When I got here? I was in caves under the mansion, standing in something I really don't want to think about.

[ She hates the caves. A LOT. ]

I thought I was dreaming, too. Come on, let's sit down and I can try to give you an idea of what's going on.

Caves? There are caves under this place? Woah. That seems like really bizarre but I guess things don't need to make sense here huh? Or I guess it can be like Paris with all of the catacombs below the city so that....

[Ella lets the words dangle off at the end, before she nodded.]

Okay, so knowing what's going on definitely makes you sound like you're some kinda local, Chlo. Like how long have you been here? Are other people from home here too?!
thevulnerability: can use please credit (✥ slipping in my faith until i fall)

[personal profile] thevulnerability 2019-01-19 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
There are caves and I really recommend not going in them. There's some weird stuff down there, and not cool weird. More like, deeply disturbing and might try to kill you weird.

[ Which is all of Wonderland, to be fair. ]

I know this is going to sound completely crazy, but I've been here for almost two years. Maze showed up about six months ago and Lucifer-- [ She pauses, her expression dropping for a moment before she shrugs. ] He was here for a while, but he's gone now.
