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 doesn't?"

He'll be pulling some out of some hidden recess of his cloak, before just...straight up trying to draw a goddamn line on the floor. Maybe he should have asked first, but he doesn't. There's magical science to do, after all. He frowns at the result. He doesn't like this one bit.

"Hmmm. That's...very strange. It's like this side runs on different rules."

"Not to mention the whole death thing!" Again, she's just way too good at saying that kind of stuff casually and cheerfully. "In some ways, it's almost like this side is more real. Don't you think?"

[bibliocorn]

"Yeees, the whole death thing is. A thing."

The cheerfulness around that topic is deeply, deeply worrying. He has some worries.

"I guess you have a point. You don't have the convenience of magic to soften everything. Though honestly, not having magic is very unnatural in my world. Even creatures who can't use it are at least attuned to it in one way or another."

[sslillappy]

"That's a point, with people coming from such totally different realities and all. I guess real isn't the same thing as realistic."

[bibliocorn]

"Exactly!" he smiles. "Though I do know what you mean. It's certainly more...life like here. You get to live relatively normal lives- without Events and the like."

[sslillappy]

"Honestly, this side's boring more than anything," M'Lapis says lightly. She honestly doesn't mind the idea of events overall -- but she knows the Reals don't like them, so it's better not to push that. "But the company over here leaves soooo much more to be desired. You guys absolutely win on that."

[bibliocorn]

"Heh, yes, I guess there is that," he considers. "I'd say I wished there were more chances for you guys to come across to our side...but that would just mean the less desirable company can move around, too."

And no one wants that. No sir.
