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! ♥

[ Jessica doesn't answer immediately, only tilts her head curiously. Not only was she sensing something different about this girl, that question brings up some strange thoughts. She knew how the whole "poof! gone for a week and then back!" thing worked, but...someone coming back after so long? And remembering it?

Eventually, words come to her. ]


Well, fuck. I dunno if I should be welcomin' you back or sayin' sorry.

But yeah. [ She nods. ] It's just about that time.

[ Her head tilts again. ] It's so weird, though. I feel like I'd've remembered you if you were here before. What's your name?

[Her mouth forces itself up into a smile, though it's half-hearted. Clearly, this girl has been here long enough to know how horrible Wonderland can be.

Not that it takes that long.]


Probably a little of both. At least I know how the whole thing works. It could be worse.

[Christmas, though. Has she really been gone that long?]

Caroline Forbes. It's probably just Wonderland up to it's old tricks again. Has there been a big influx of people recently? That's happened before.

[ She wants to be surprised, but somehow she's not. ] Yeah, there's been a bunch lately...

[ Maybe this means she's finally used to the place? Strange to think that only a few months ago, she'd probably be flipping out if this happened. It's hard to know if that's depressing or not. ]

Oh, uh! [ She smiles and gives a stupid little bow with a flourish. ] Jessica Hamby, resident vampire fuck-up at your service. Wish I could be more helpful, but you probably don't want any help I got.

[ At least she's starting to own up to her fuckery...? ]

I remember Christmas being a weird time for me, too.

[Caroline can't help but grin when the girl bows, though she's surprised at the very deliberate annoucement of being a vampire.]

I think a couple people would have called me the resident vampire fuck-up when I was here before, so you're in good company.

[After all, she came back with her humanity turned off and caused a bunch of trouble that one time. And before that she'd been a stupid seventeen year old kid with Issues + Baby Vampirism.]

...Really?

[ Jessica squints for a moment before breaking out into a self-satisfied grin of her own. ]

Nope. Noooope. If you were the original vampire fuck-up, you get the title back! I can finally be the least fucked up one!

[ Granted, there'd only been the three of them for the longest, so that wasn't too hard to manage, even with Kol throwing the averages out of whack... ]

I officially vacate the title and return it to its rightful owner, thank you very much.

Yeah. There was this whole thing where I shut off my humanity and I was basically a class A bitch for way too long.

[Her mouth falls open at that, but she then she breaks out into complete laughter, shaking her head.]

Oh, come on! I thought we were going to make a club or something. Rude!
