+ Chalk it to me! - Mingle Log +

[vitaelamorte]

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.

[Sorry, Drizella. He's a walking wikipedia, basically. He's trying to get better at the whole "socializing" thing.]

I have a basket in my room, so I think I'll be fine without yours. You should keep it.

[emojis]

Not really sure I can be trusted with them, at the moment.

[Stuff inside her mind should not be brought to life, even if it's just chalk.]

Think I'd rather not see what else I'm going to come up with.

[licksthirium]

What you drew already seemed pretty harmless, but I'm assuming there's backstory for that.

[One that he won't ask about. It wasn't really his business.]

[emojis]

It's a personal thing. I guess the only person I'd be harming is myself, but I'd still rather not do that.

[licksthirium]

That's fair enough. [He won't push it.]

[emojis]

[She appreciates it.]

I'm Drizella, by the way.

[licksthirium]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Drizella. My name is Connor.

[emojis]

Nice to meet you too. Have you been around long?

[licksthirium]

I've been here for about half five months or so now. [But time was a weird concept when days tended to blend together here.] How about you?

[emojis]

Little over a year.

[A year and three months but who's counting?]

I got here Christmas before last.

[licksthirium]

I have heard some people have been here for a few years. Time seems to vary here.

[emojis]

The other person from my world has been here for five or more? There are some really long term residents and some really short ones.

[licksthirium]

I'm trying to find patterns to this place, but even then Wonderland is a strange place to be stuck in.

[emojis]

The point of Wonderland is there are no patterns. No matter what version of Wonderland you land in, it sort of thrives on being nonsensical.

[licksthirium]

That makes things that much more of a nuisance.

[For a detective, finding no patterns or clues on how this place works is a bit frustrating even.]

[emojis]

Tell me about it. But some people like it, I guess.

[It has a way of making you feel like you're your own individual, if you crave that sort of thing.]
