Who: EVERYONE!
Where: Anywhere outside on Real Side, but mostly in the gardens!
When: 3/14-3/20
Rating: PG, warn if going higher than PG-13
Summary: Alice has invited everyone, Reals and Mirrors alike, to come color outside in the nice spring weather with magic chalk. Surely nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?
The Story:

Outside, the weather is absolutely beautiful. It's not too hot, but not too cold either, and no one would have ever realized there was snow on the ground yesterday if they hadn't been here to see it. The grass is green and everything is dry - no sign of melted snow anywhere at all. Flowers have begun to bloom and it truly looks as though it's been spring for some time already. The season has changed abruptly and now Wonderland's decided it's time for it to be nice out.

There are many paths through the gardens, the vendors, and the hedge maze that can be drawn on, but as Alice demonstrated in her post, there's no need at all to stick to pavement only. Even the air can be decorated with living drawings!

This is a log for people who want to come color outside or people who want to check out what others are doing out here. It isn't strictly to interact with Alice, but she'll be around and will have a top level.

That's all I ever do. 'S kind of my thing.

[He eyes the chalk for a moment. He's no artist, but he's good at technical drawings and chalk is not the best tool for that, but if he gets a basic outline going he can probably hack it.

So he sketches the basic outline of a very, very large gun that looks like the horribly fancy bazooka that is bigger than Rocket is his tall. And yet when it emerges in all of its sketchy chalk glory, he can heft its weight easily onto his shoulder.]

It only gets more badass from here.

[She smirks a bit at that.]

Does that actually work, or is it just going to shoot chalk lasers?

[She's curious, but this doesn't seem like the kind of event that's designed to do actual harm.]

[beatupgrass]

[.....]

Aw man. [He knows what the answer is going to be before he even does it, but he still tries and is greeted to the gun only managing to expel a large bazooka-blast size chalk ball that covers everything in front of it in a fine layer of powder.]

...Okay, y'know what? Considering the circumstances, I'll still call that a win.

[emojis]

[The dust gets everywhere, and while Drizella's clothes can be cleaned that really does nothing for the dust that gets caught in her throat. She coughs in response before trying to brush it away from her face.]

Then good for you.

[beatupgrass]

[No one likes a smug raccoon.] See, I told you it'd-

[And then the lingering chalk dust gets caught in his nose and he sneezes, and let it be known that no matter how gruff and Philly your accent is, sometimes you still sneeze like a cute animal.]

[emojis]

[She chuckles.]

Then go draw weapons to your heart's content. It's probably better than whatever I'd do with it.

[beatupgrass]

[Dammit. Now he's curious. Stupid innate raccoon curiosity.]

Why? What would you do with it?

[emojis]

[She shrugs.]

Probably just stuff to torture myself rather than actually be useful to anyone else.

[beatupgrass]

[....]

....Okay, there's a lot to unpack in that statement that I don't think I'm qualified to unpack.

[He can only be captain to so many people. Being a good person is hard.]

[emojis]

[She shakes her head.]

Don't worry. I'm not asking you to. All I'm asking is that you have fun with that chalk.
