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! ♥

[Eden, hm? Well, that sounds familiar.]

I do hate it when I repeat myself. [He sighs, giving no explanation for that little snippet of information.]

But that was true. You've always given me the impression that you knew me well.

I didn't necessarily know your life story.

[And who could, when Crowley's lived as long as he has?]

But we had a bond. A partial one. We have one now, too.

[ ☆ Social links ☆ ]

That way lies madness.

[He says it wryly, but there's something serious about it. Crowley could sit all week giving his actual life story.]

Ah, do you think so?

['Bond', hm?]
eatsyourscience: (all eyes are turning toward the sun)

It's probably not what you're thinking. When I get to know someone, I forge connections with them, like a chain, one link at a time, until I have a connection with them that doesn't break.

[Well, that's...

That's weird, Souji. That's weird.

And how's that work, when the person you made the link with isn't necessarily the same person anymore?

[No no, it's totally normal for a whole three people in his world.

He frowns a little.]


I have to start over.

[Which, on the other person's end, means nothing, but on his end, it's a rather uncomfortable feeling.]
saunteredvaguelydownwards: (035)

[personal profile] saunteredvaguelydownwards 2019-03-16 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
But you don't... feel that with me. That you had to start over.

[He knows what he's asking - what he's getting at - but he chooses the roundabout way to say it.]

It's the same.
eatsyourscience: (no you can't read my poker face)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-03-16 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
To some extent. I mean, the first time, I got to know you more organically. This time, I already know some things. And I have to deal with the fact that you're wary of me. It presents a different kind of challenge.
saunteredvaguelydownwards: (027)

[personal profile] saunteredvaguelydownwards 2019-03-17 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll defy anyone to not be wary of somebody who knows things about them they have no memory of sharing.

[Defensive? Yes, a little bit. Don't @ him.]

But I'll admit it's made me curious.
eatsyourscience: (it's like riding a bike that you hate)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-03-20 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Souji makes a gesture with one hand as though conceding the point. It would be unsettling.]

Curious about what, exactly?
saunteredvaguelydownwards: (003)

[personal profile] saunteredvaguelydownwards 2019-03-23 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
About... you know. Just what I got up to the last time I was here. It's not something people really talk about, is it?

[Not him, specifically... but any time someone returns here with no memory of being here before. Does anyone talk about it?]
eatsyourscience: (hook up your seatbelt)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-03-23 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not. Not in most cases.

[It would just seem odd to do so. Like comparing a person to some slightly different version of themselves.]

I'd have to say you really aren't different. It's just the circumstances that are, so the way we interact isn't the same.
