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! ♥

helpful, but unexpectedly funnier the other way

( it's just impossible for him to not fully consider what she had to do in order to make that weapon, considering how rare and terribly difficult the ingredients to dahlia's concoction proved to be. sorry, sis. :c

concern for events well-passed ball inside his chest, as do calculations of each piece she would have needed. sacred soil from her homeland. ash from her oppressors. the blood of the one person she loves most.

klaus considers freya for a pause, and then says,
) A shame it was. ( his response is flatly dealt, if sincere. after a stifled beat and a sucked-in breath, he adds, ) What exactly did you use to kill her?

truth

[You had to ask, Klaus.]

Dirt from the Mirrorside, ashes of a Real and her own blood.

[Simple, totally easy to find ingredients.]

You, ( he says, without a beat, because the answer is obvious. it's a large weight in his gut: anger at himself for not being here. grief, to know what she had done.

pride, too, to know she had done it unflinchingly.
) Your ashes.

[There's a pause and she could just let him believe it, but at the same time, she knows that part of the reason why Fitz did it was to make things right with Klaus. She won't take that away from him.]

Not me. Fitz. I asked him to help me, and he ... killed himself instead. He was trying to make things right.

( there's a moment where klaus blinks, the flicker of surprise followed by the riotous, volatile mixture of emotions he can hardly parse plain in his eyes. they choke the breath from his throat before he settles on annoyance.

klaus turns away and downs his drink in one gulp.
) Bloody scientist, ( he swears in an undertone.

he can't even be angry at the right man for being so stupidly self-sacrificing for so foolish a reason.

(grateful, too, for it meant freya did not have to do so.)
)

[Freya nods in agreement.]

My thoughts exactly.

[She sighs softly, before shaking her head.]

I should have known that something was wrong sooner.

There was no way you could have known. ( klaus says so softly, though the truth is perhaps there was. how obvious would it have been to klaus? what would have been different, if he had been here?

klaus studies his empty glass.
) Leopold is more manipulative than even those he loves give him credit for. It's why I liked him. He's cutthroat. Pragmatic.

Mmmm.

[He is certainly that. He makes choices long before he's ready to give them away to someone else.]

Not normally manipulative, though. And here he was certainly trying to be.

My point exactly. ( leopold does what he sets his mind to.

klaus turns his head, not quite enough to look at freya, but to observe her. perhaps to hide his own weakness, his own sentiment. he misses his friend and he's worried about him. "behavioral issues" could certainly mean anything.

and they've — she — has been through enough when it comes to her mirror. she was the most formidable foe, for quite some time. that she had to face her without them all, without him... and she succeeded...

finally, his eyes slide to freya's.
) I'm glad you're all right. ( and not to be too soft of feeling, he adds, ) And that the hag is dead.

[She smiles softly at that, before nodding.]

You and I both.

[Then she knocks back the rest of her drink.]

You should go see if you can find Kol. I'm sure you two have quite a bit to discuss.

end?

[personal profile] poppycock 2019-02-10 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
( he smiles with the same softness and then kicks his own drink back at her suggestion. )

I doubt he's eager to see me, ( he opines and licks the scotch from his lips. ) But I suppose you're right. ( he slides off his stool. ) Have another for me, sister. I'll need it.
deathlessness: (Default)

end!

[personal profile] deathlessness 2019-02-10 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs before raising her glass.]

Good luck.

[And she will stay and have that drink after he goes because why not. /scene]
