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! ♥

[She grins. He's cute when he's angry and flustered. Or, well, she assumes someone else might think so. If she's happy to see him after he's been gone from the Unknown for so long now, well, she got used to his dumb face. That's all.]

Miss me?

[Of course he did. Of course he missed her, and he can't make himself tease her otherwise in this moment. Not when he has no idea when he'll see her again.]

Definitely. I definitely, definitely missed you.

[He closes the gap pretty quickly, as though he's going to go in for a hug, but then he stops halfway through the motion.]

--Wait, you don't have any more snowballs hidden or anything, right?

[Does she? There's the glimmer of a grin as she shrugs.]

Dunno. You gonna take that risk?

[Is he?

Wirt is not exactly a risk-taker, even with smaller things. If something could potentially have a bad or embarrassing outcome, he tends to just not do anything at all and avoid the situation. Beatrice knows this about him, and has never been afraid to call him out on it.

So, maybe that will make it more surprising when he actually does take the risk and go in for the hug.

[Beatrice is so surprised she actually just drops the snowball she was hiding behind her back. Because she had been planning on smushing a snowball into his face again, but... he's hugging her.

She freezes up for a moment, unsure how to handle this now that they're both human. Sure, they hugged back when they were both here, but that was a long time ago for her, and the last time she hugged him, it had been with wings, not arms. This is...

It's nice.

Almost without realizing it, she starts hugging him back.]

[Going in for the hug had been kind of terrifying after all this time, but it was worth the risk. It was a long time ago for him, and in Wonderland there's never a guarantee of how long someone will stay around. She could be gone in a week or in a year or tomorrow.

It really is nice though. It's even nicer that she's actually hugging him back, since he's not really sure he was expecting her to.

He breaks it first though, pulling back as his cheeks go pink. Was that too long? Or too weird of him??

Sorry, I just-- it's been like, forever. ...It's really good to see you.

How long has it been?

[She knows how Wonderland is. The fact that she remembers at all is amazing.]

I didn't remember when I left.

Almost a year, I think. ...Greg's gone too.

[So it's just him now, in terms of people who came from his world. Or his world-adjacent.]

Oh, Wirt, I'm sorry.

[She reaches to give his hand a sympathetic squeeze.]

Those annoying twins who follow you around still here, at least?

Dipper and Mabel? Yeah. So I'm not like, totally alone here I guess, and that's good. But...

[The touch surprises him, and his cheeks color pink. But, he finds it in him to very gently squeeze her hand back.]

...I-I don't know what I wanted to say. I guess just that I still missed you anyway, even if there are other people around.
