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.

"Polka stripe dots!" she says, immediately coining a new name for it. "I love the way you think, Mabel."

Alice picks up her chalk and gets to work on her pieces of their new creation. There's something they're forgetting though, and Alice thinks really hard about it while she draws.

"I wonder what such a beautiful creature would be called...?"

"A ceaglelk," Mabel says without even thinking about it, like this portmanteau name just came to her in two seconds and now she is committed to it. "'Cause it's an elk, a cat, and an eagle. I'm a genius."

Yes. Yes, she is.

"You really are! It's perfect!"

A little tricky to say, but that's half the fun, isn't it?

"It should have a name too," Alice says. "So far I think it looks like a Cindy, but that might change as we draw. Names are fickle - you never know when a Cindy might be more of a Courtney or a Carol. It can change in an instant!"

"Right?" Mabel leans right into it, because she believes fully in the logic of it. Alice's nonsense is her own brand of nonsense. "She'll name herself when the vision's fully realized. That's how it's always worked for me. I'm just the vessel that speaks the names."

She claps a hand over her chest and speaks gravely, as if this is the Most Serious.
