+ Chalk it to me! - Mingle Log +
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.

[It's obvious just from looking. Wirt's Mirror finally turns his attention away from the Gregs and their shenanigans to Louis.]
You're friends with my Real, right? I don't mean to be creepy or anything - I see you guys hanging out together through the glass sometimes.
[The concern doesn't carry the same weight it does when Wirt speaks that way though. It's just a way to bring it up. He doesn't actually care much if it seems creepy. It's not his fault everyone walks around in front of what are basically his side's windows (and that there isn't a whole lot else to do but peek through them).]
no subject
[It's kinda creepy, but Louis tries not to think about it. It's not like the Mirrors have much choice in the matter. Being Mirrors and all. ]
How about you? You know my Mirror? I think there'd be something weirdly poetic about having both sides be friends.
[His Mirror makes no friends. Ever. But he doesn't know that.]
no subject
He decides to just not comment on it though, and skips to the question, with a polite shrug.]
Actually, I don't think we've met! I get where you're coming from, but it's not really like that. We're different people than our Reals, so we would make different friends.
no subject
Aww, that's a shame. I guess you've got a point, though. You are different people. Sorry for the assumption, my dude.
no subject
[They look exactly the same, and they even have the same name. It's almost like mixing up a pair of twins. He doesn't seem upset or anything, but he does look thoughtful for a moment.]
...Can I ask you something?
no subject
[He'll work better at it, for next time. He offers Wirt's Mirror a smile, crossing his arms.]
Sure thing, what's up?
no subject
What do you actually like about him? The other Wirt, I mean. You really think he's a good friend?
[He is absolutely judging.]
no subject
Yes? I do. Absolutely.
[Wirt had every goddamn reason to cut Louis out of his life after the guilt room debacle. But he didn't. They talked and grew closer together because of it. Wirt was quiet and nervous and broken in his own way- but that didn't make him any less deserving of friendship.]
He's a good guy. He's his own worst enemy sometimes, sure, but who isn't? I know he'd still come through for me if I ever needed him. And he's trying to be better- even if he doesn't have to be.
no subject
Pfft. Yeah, okay. He can barely come through for himself, let alone anyone else.
[It's a little flippant, and maybe even a little cruel, but he believes every word of it. He believes Wirt deserves every word of it, but he's not the type to leave him horrible messages on the glass about it. There's no reason to bother, really. Maybe if Greg was still here he would, but since he's not there's no reason to really hammer it home - Wirt's relationships will crumble on their own eventually.]
I'm just saying, I know him pretty well and I seriously wouldn't put that kind of faith in him.
no subject
I don't think that's fair. Just because he has problems doesn't mean he's not worth having faith in.
[Because THAT sort of bullshit thinking is what they got from the Ericson staff. That they were fundamentally broken and, ultimately, only worth being left behind to die. He hates that kind of thinking. ]
I've got faith in him, and I know him pretty damn well, too.
no subject
[That and his Mirror is literally a copy of him so he likes to think he has a little more insight here. But, whatever. If Louis wants to make a bad judgement call, that's on him.]
It's not because he has "problems" anyway. [He finger quotes around the word, as though he doesn't really buy it as a description in the first place.] It's because he always puts himself first. When push comes to shove, he'll put his own immediate comfort first, even if someone else gets hurt because of it. Even if it puts someone else's life in danger.
[He looks past Louis, to the band of chalk Gregs. Then, he shrugs, as though he didn't dip into such a serious thought.]
He's just really selfish, deep down. It's kind of amazing he hasn't driven everyone away from him.
no subject
[Louis used to be that way- selfish, spiteful. He knows exactly what that level of maliciousness looks like. He's very much acquainted with that. He doesn't see it in Wirt. Maybe because he doesn't want to see it- much like he never wanted to see how deep down in the metaphorical rabbit hole Marlon was. There's a blindness to loyalty- but he doesn't care much. Loyalty means a lot to him. He folds his arms, digging his heels in. ]
I've never thought of him as selfish. He talked to me after pushing me away when he had every damn right to keep me pushed away. He's not infallible, but no one is. Everyone makes mistakes- it's being able to own them and make them good again. That's what matters.
no subject
Oh, that must have been a few weeks ago, after he wallowed in his room for a couple days for some reason. I know someone told him it was an event where people's rooms were trapping them in their greatest guilt. He's not very careful about his mirrors, so I hear a lot of things.
[You don't have to go outright looking when you have a noisy neighbor who doesn't always remember to keep the curtains drawn, or in this case the glass broken.]
If that's true, and if that's what the event was, I think it's really telling that his room didn't change. Apparently he's not guilty at all, about anything, even things he should definitely feel that way about. Must be nice, right?
[Must be nice to be able to put yourself first all the time and not feel a shred of remorse about it, even when it hurts people around you.]
no subject
His usual chirpy demeanour vanishes, his lips forming a thin line, eyebrows furrowing. He never did respond well when those he cared about were dismissed out of hand. ]
Or maybe he learned to heal from the shit that fucked him up. [He remembers Clem's words while he was stuck in that hell- and they seem very apt now.] Just because he doesn't feel guilty about things any more doesn't mean he thinks the stuff he did was right. It doesn't mean he just... absolved himself. It just means he learned to live with it without beating himself up over it every damn day. And if he managed to do that? Well, all the power to him.
[It might be beyond Louis himself, but he wants it for his friends. He wants them to find some kind of peace with themselves. To not carry their guilt like weights around their necks.]
That doesn't make him a shitty person.
no subject
He came so close to getting our brother killed, because he just gave up on taking care of him! You'd be pissed off too if someone who looks just like you let something horrible happen to someone you love and everyone just let it go!
[That outburst seems to be enough emotion for now, and he looks a little surprised he admitted that much. He reels himself back in, and rubs at his elbow under his cape.]
...It doesn't matter. Greg isn't here anymore. Not really.
[He looks over at the chalk Gregs running around with their instruments, and thinks about the empty lantern that's still sitting in his room on Mirror Side. The one that was always empty, apparently.]
As long as he doesn't have to actually be responsible for anyone, it's probably fine. I'll never get how anyone can actually trust him though.
no subject
He can see Wirt's Mirror is angry, and he knows he's fighting a corner with half a story. But Wirt's his friend and he'll stick up for him regardless of how much or little he knows.]
So he made a mistake. People aren't infallible. And from I've heard about him and Greg? He fucking loves Greg. If that happened? Nearly getting him killed? Then I'm goddamn sure he did what he could to fix it. You can't just- just hate people forever, for making a mistake. Even one big as that.
[He could probably listen to his own advice there- but the only grudges Louis truly holds are towards himself. He can't even bring himself to hate Minnie, after all she'd done. Because she... well, she made a mistake too. And she never got to come out of that downward spiral.]
Trust is something that a person earns. It's not your choice to dictate who gets to decide if he's worthy of that or not. I trust him, and I know he can be responsible for other people, too. He's not- he's not the same person you seem to remember.
no subject
If trust is something a person earns, then he hasn't earned mine. Obviously people aren't infallible, but you're still wrong.
[He's so comfortable just telling someone they're wrong, and he doesn't beat around the bush or soften the blow with kindness.]
There are some things that are too big for anyone to come back from.
[You can't just forgive everyone. If someone does something terrible, it takes more than just an apology. Words are just words, and he knows what the other Wirt's repeated actions have been.]
no subject
[But then, that had always been his problem, hadn't it? He hadn't seen how far gone Marlon was- he still thought he could talk Minnie down despite the fact she'd become the Delta's puppet. He didn't believe that there was nothing a person couldn't come back from.
He'd made that mistake once, and once alone- and it nearly got AJ killed. All because he thought there was no coming back from what the kid had done. If Clem and AJ hadn't of come back to them...well, he'd be in the same mess as Minnie. Probably worse. ]
I'd rather believe people can come back from something terrible than assume they're not worth anything for the rest of their days. That's just... a waste of a life, otherwise.
[And life is a very precious commodity.]
