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!

entreats: (and you could say just how you feel)

[ At least he tried. Ange is quiet for a moment as she seems to think over those words, but then she looks at him and speaks up again. ]

Aren't you ever tired of it? Of being controlled by something you have absolutely no say in?
eatsyourscience: (but you've felt this way all along)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-07-04 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He sighs.] It's the kind of thing I would have fought at home. But I don't know how to fight it here, if it even can be fought.
entreats: (when i woke up this morning)

...

[ There's a slight moment of hesitation. For how blunt Ange can be, she doesn't want to dig into things people don't want to talk about. But with what he said, the road to the question is so open, and she truly is curious. ]

Did you fight something like that back home? [ Or, more importantly.. ] Did you win?
eatsyourscience: (sing to me your darkest secrets)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-07-06 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like it. Someone who was manipulating things in a situation we weren't supposed to be able to win.

[It's been a long time since he's really talked about any of this. Given how long he's been in Wonderland, it seems like forever ago. He sounds almost nostalgic as he talks about it.]

But we did win.
entreats: but better is no excuse for tonight (so you almost feel better)

[personal profile] entreats 2019-07-07 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Something about that specific wording makes Ange look slightly thoughtful as well for a moment. "A situation we weren't supposed to be able to win." Now that seems familiar, although also in that very faroff way. ]

Maybe we can find some way for you to be able to fight it here too. You have the credentials. [ There's no hint of deadpan at all in her voice for once. She genuinely means that suggestion. ]
eatsyourscience: (for every stoplight I didn't make)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-07-09 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I keep being reminded that I should be fighting this place more. So I really need to come up with some way to do it.

[He smiles a little despite the tension and paranoia.]

Will you help me?
entreats: (you can't make your way to anywhere)

[personal profile] entreats 2019-07-09 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her first reaction seems to be surprise, like she didn't expect him to ask her that. It makes her pause for a moment. ]

I.. sure.

[ No deadpan here either. Maybe it's the weird feeling this place is giving her, or maybe she just was caught that much off guard. ]

I can't promise much, but I can help look into it.
eatsyourscience: (you can stand under my umbrella)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2019-07-12 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He's a little surprised by that response, having expected a deadpan comment. But he's pleased, too, and he smiles a bit more.]

You'll probably be more helpful than you think.
