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! ♥

Marco glances up when Jean stands, but when he only goes as far as the sink, he resumes eating. The sandwich is mostly gone by the time Jean gets back with the water, and Marco is looking slightly embarrassed with himself.

"Thanks." He takes the water and chugs it down, clearing his throat as he sets the glass back on the table. Even the water tastes better here... cleaner, somehow. "Can I, uh... have another one?"

Then Marco catches the look on Jean's face, and for the first time since waking up here, he smiles. "Yeah, yeah, your sandwiches are amazing. I bow before your superior knowledge."

"It's only natural," Jean replied with a tone of voice much closer to the casual flippancy Marco knew of him. "I know it doesn't look like it, and damn do I wish it did, but I've got more than two years on you now."

He said this all as he got up again, and began assembling a second sandwich. This time he used a few different ingredients, but it was still simple enough that it wouldn't offend Marco's simple taste buds.
freckilled: (adorable surprise)

"What, really?" Marco boggles a little, and then proceeds, without a hint of subtlety, to check Jean out, his eyes roving up and down the length of his frame. "You look exactly the same!"

And once that sandwich is done, he's totally reaching for it, and inhaling with the same gusto as the first time. Maybe it's for the best no one changes here, or Jean would have gotten fat on this diet.

Jean gave a short bark of laughter as Marco obviously gave him the up-and-down-- it was just another one of those impossible things about Wonderland.

"Yeah. People don't age here. It sucks when I was hoping to grow a little bit more, but them's the breaks."

Hey, Jean knew that he'd grow gluttonous if he let himself go. That's why, despite his richer diet, he kept up with all of his daily exercises, and his 3DMG training. Who knew when Titans might how up from his memories? He had to stay on top of his game.

He wasn't going to tell Marco that could happen though. He was freaking out enough about it already when he has just arrived.

"Soooooo... that means I'll always be taller than you." That's right, Marco went there, and hides his grin behind a huge bite of sandwich. This one is just as good as the first, and disappears just as fast. Marco manages to choke himself a little on this one, but he clears it on his own, and it barely slows down his ravenous hunger.

After two intensely rich sandwiches, though, he's almost uncomfortably full, and sits back with a sigh. "The food here is incredible.

"You'd be happy about that, wouldn't you."

Jean and Marco were best friends, but they also had a healthy rivalry when it came to things like training and getting stronger. You know, the kind of relationship he could have developed with Eren if they both weren't so bullheaded and full of shit. Marco was always just a smidge taller than he was, and it was a constant cause of grief for Jean.

"It's one of the things you can always rely on, at least. Hot showers, good food and a soft bed. If it weren't for that stuff it'd be pure chaos."
freckilled: (big grin)

"Yes. Yes, I am."

Marco might be dead, but at least in this place, he's still taller and heavier than Jean. He'll cling to what he has.

"It sounds... it sounds like heaven." And apparently, for Marco, it might as well be. "Is it... peaceful here?"
