Summary: Mingle log for the Dream Side event! After the girls’ seance, every single person in Wonderland, no matter what they were doing at the time, will black out. When they awake, they will find themselves in a strange and twisted world outside of time - a different one than usual.
The Story:

After the girls’ seance, every single person in Wonderland, no matter what they were doing at the time, will black out. When they awake, they will find themselves in a strange and twisted world outside of time - a different one than usual. Elements may seem familiar, but it's clearly a different place.

Welcome, Mirrors and Reals, to DREAM SIDE. The sky above is dark and speckled with far-off stars but the world below is unnaturally lit and bright. There is a mansion at its center, but it is warped and unusual, as though someone stretched it like taffy, but if you try to enter it, you'll find that the door is not just locked - it appears to be painted on, as though it is just static scenery. It isn't a mansion that can be entered, just a cartoon-ish mansion cobbled together from dozens of memories.

Dream Side, as you might have guessed from the name, is not a static place. It is built from the scraps of dreams of those who cross into that side of Wonderland. Characters on this side of Wonderland are not asleep, but the world they are in is shaped by the contents of their dreams. Unlike the glass between Real Side and Mirror Side, there does not seem to be an obvious thing connecting this Side of Wonderland to the other two - at least, not something visible.

They are not alone in this world either - because the girls were conducting a seance, they have inadvertently called upon the dead. For each time your character has died a mansion death, there will be a ghostly copy of them wandering Dream Side. They will look as standard ghosts do - pale and translucent, looking as they did the moment they died. They will have a tendency to haunt their current living version (and those who care about them), but they will not be able to speak directly with them. For Mirrors, these ghosts can be Unmade versions of themselves, if they were ever Unmade. Some ghosts might be hostile and some might just gently haunt from a distance - it will depend on the character and what they would do if they were a ghost how they behave.

Behold, the world your dreams have built!

[That startles him. Not only is she here when he saw her disappear along with everyone else, but she knows he died recently and narrowly escaped...whatever happens.]

Could I be one of yours if you aren't there?
onlyredroses: (hardly worth my time)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-08 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You were nearly mine.

[She says it again, and she glares this time. As if the fact that he doesn't belong to her is his fault alone.]

You should have died again while I was here. When you could have been mine. You kept me waiting and now it's too late!
eatsyourscience: (everyday is pretty much the same)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-08 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses, then speaks slowly.]

Then...if I did die again...what would happen if you aren't there?
onlyredroses: (well excuse me darling)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-08 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose you would belong to someone else.

[She pouts at this inconvenience.]

It hardly seems fair when you died more often under my rule.
eatsyourscience: (lost sight of things you want to show me)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-08 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Why is it you'd want me to be yours in the first place?

[They've spoken before, it's not like she's fond of him.]
onlyredroses: (well that's that)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's nothing personal, if that's what you're wondering. It could have been anyone, really.

[She slides closer, getting just a little more in his space.]

You were just the one careless enough to die so often.
eatsyourscience: (uncertain curtain call)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-09 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head, trying not to backstep. He hadn't thought it had anything to do with him personally.]

Why would you want anyone? What for?
onlyredroses: (kind for once)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-10 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Why does anyone want anyone? Everyone wants things that are theirs alone.

[Especially her. Especially her.]

I'm very protective of what is rightfully mine.
eatsyourscience: (in doubtful dreams of dreams)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-12 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
How does dying a bunch of times make someone rightfully yours?

[He's getting so close to a straight answer!!]
onlyredroses: (masked)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-12 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
The Core keeps you, you know - longer and longer each time you die. It gets harder and harder to pull yourself back to your body.

[Her smile is a little too wide as she leans in as though she is going to touch the side of his face. Her fingers stop short though - they would only pass through him. They still feel cold though, like standing close to a block of ice.]

I would bring those who died five times back, and spare them from permanent death. I could have simply let go, but then where would they be if they weren't mine?

[They would be burnt up in the Core, that's what. Fueling the mansion like a lump of coal.]
eatsyourscience: (all eyes are turning toward the sun)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't flinch, not quite. His only reaction to the proximity of her hand is a momentary clenching of his jaw.]

But you're not there now... So who else would do it in your place?

[Please don't say you're the only one capable of it.]
onlyredroses: (tee-hee)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-14 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[She pulls her hand away, and she looks almost amused by the question.]

I suppose it depends if someone else would bother to save you, doesn't it?
eatsyourscience: (Those bewildering words)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-15 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, this is both creepy as hell and very informative.]

I guess we owe you some gratitude, in the end.

[Being alive and loyal to her is better than being dead forever, somewhere far from home.]
onlyredroses: (queen of hearts)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-19 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Finally, he understands.]

You do. You all do. And if Wonderland thinks it can just toss me out so easily, it has another thing coming!
eatsyourscience: (colors all fade to gray)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-06-20 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...it didn't work the last time it tried.

[So for her that's hopeful. For everyone else? He's not sure.]
onlyredroses: (cool appraisal)

[personal profile] onlyredroses 2019-06-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, it didn't.

[His words, misconstrued as support, make her smile.]

Perhaps you will be one of mine one day. Take care not to die between now and then.

[With that, she blows him a kiss and evaporates into nothing, vanishing before his eyes.]
