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.

"Damn, that's harsh." Death was a turning point for a lot of people in Wonderland, in a wide variety of ways, though, so it's somehow not all that surprising, either. "So, are you a ghost here, too?" He supposed she never really existed anywhere except here, but it seems too theoretical to get that technical about it, so he keeps it simple and conversational.

[dejavoodoo]

"That's definitely what it is," she agrees with a nod. "And I am. I only realized it when others slept, when they ate and I didn't. Even the mirrors do things that Reals do like that."

This she can talk about much more matter of factly. "But not like other ghosts, someone told me. Because I can touch people when I want to."

[thisismadfreaky]

"Freaky." But he doesn't say it in a way that is negative, and there's a little bob to his head as he mulls the idea over. "Do you have any special ghost powers or anything?" What, he's curious!

[dejavoodoo]

"It is freaky," she says, grinning at that. "And my Real is a witch, so maybe it's witch different," she says, shrugging because she's never really thought about it as much as some have told her that they're different.

"Besides walking through walls? I can effect the electricity of lights, making them flicker on and off, and I can..." She reaches for his arm, and lets her hand go through it though a moment ago he'd been holding her hand.

[thisismadfreaky]

"Maybe... I met a witch when I was here the first time- Freya Mikaelson. Do you know her?" Because.... all the witches are friends. Or... something. That's how it works, right? Whatever, it's totally a legitimate question! He's about to ask her something about that electricity thing when she reaches out to grab him, and her hand passes right through him. "Okay, that's kinda awesome." He grins as he looks back up at her again.

[dejavoodoo]

"I think I've seen her. Through the mirror to this side. I like to watch what people are doing over here. There seems to be a lot more on this side rather than on the other side of the mirror. Most there are either wild, or they're scary. Over here they seem so much nicer." Just as Cisco is being so nice to her. It means a lot, and she can't help but smile despite admitting how scary they are on the other side.

"I can do some of the normal ghost things, and then some that are particular to the house. There's just some that draw the dead in and they can... well, live. Kinda live, anyways."

[thisismadfreaky]

"I guess it's like a weird version of reality tv, huh?" He muses for a moment about that, and how weird it is that the mirrors can watch them so easily. It's creepy, considering how different the ones on that side can be, sometimes. "What do you mean, particular to the house?" Is it something Wonderland granted her, that her world's ghosts don't usually do?

[dejavoodoo]

She laughs at that, nodding. "It kind of is. I try and be respectful, you know? I know not everyone is." And she knows most of them can be violent as well. "But it's kind of set up that way, I think. Some say the old queen, she wasn't like the one we have now. I don't remember her much though." She'd been too much in hiding back then.

"The house I came from," she says, shrugging. "Some houses, they hold on to their dead. I think of lot of me being solid, being able to touch others and interact with the world is because of the house I died in. It draws in the dead, even when they've come back."

[thisismadfreaky]

"At least you try. I know some of the mirrors I knew before weren't like that. At. All.." He pulls a face and sweeps one hand out and up to emphasize his point. "You're not missing much, not remember her. She was kinda cray-cray from what I knew. The new Queen's good to you guys, though?" "Oh, okay. So-- kind of like being bound to it?" Is he... on the right track, Misty? He doesn't know. He might have more reference for this if he could stand horror movies, but he still hasn't even seen all of The Shining and that won't be changing any time soon.
