Who: Everyone! (Plus a special guest.)
Where: In their dreams
When: 9/11-9/13
Rating: Let's go with PG-13
Summary: Something is coming...
The Story:

Starting on the night of September 11 and continuing for the following 2 nights, characters will go to sleep as normal. However, they will find that their dreams are unexpectedly vivid. Even characters who don't normally dream will experience this. Even characters who don't normally sleep will experience it.

Many of Wonderland's guests have dealt with events that distorted their dreams before, but this? This is a little different. Because something is coming in those dreams. Something not altogether friendly.

If you'd like your character to encounter this...something, post their dreams to this log.

"It becomes part of Wonderland." She smiles. "You become part of Wonderland."

[agemofchange]

He steps back, frightened.

"B-but I don't want to! Not forever. I... I can always leave Wonderland, too."

[manxomnivore]

"Can you? Then why haven't you?"

[agemofchange]

"I actually did leave for a while!" He rubs at his head anxiously. "Just... not willingly, and I did end up back here. ...But I'll keep trying to find a better way to go home!"

[manxomnivore]

The woman comes closer to him, smiling.

"What if I don't want you to leave?"

[agemofchange]

He smiles sheepishly and takes a step back, even as he tries to nervously speak to her.

"Oh! Uh. ...I get it! You really wanna be friends, right? B-but it's alright! I wanna try to find a way to come back and forth between worlds, sooo we can still hang out, it won't be so bad! ...Sorry, I don't think I got your name?"

[manxomnivore]

"You know my name." She continues to smile.

[agemofchange]

"Dooo I?" He scratches at his head, trying to place the face. Something about that smile seems... very eerie. But he tries to focus. He focuses on her clothing and hair. "You're not... the White Queen, are you?" In the dreamy haze of his memories, he tries to remember if that's what the White Queen looked like.

[manxomnivore]

"Not anymore."

Her smile grows wider.

[agemofchange]

That's right. The White Queen is... gone? Steven blinks as memories flitter back and forth from his waking consciousness, and dread grows over his face.

"Y-you don't mean..."

He stumbles back a few steps and gasps:

"...The Jabberwock?!"

[manxomnivore]

She laughs.

"What will you do about it?"

[agemofchange]

"G-good question!" He says shakily, with a mix of surprise and fear as he stares her down. "I... didn't expect to run into you here! And for you to be so... well-spoken?"

He takes a breath.

"I... I guess I'll just keep talking to you!"

[manxomnivore]

She looks a little surprised by that answer.

"Are you sure? What if I just eat you?"

[agemofchange]

"Then that would be really messed up? I mean, I would try to stop you from eating me! ...But if that's what you wanted to do, you could've done that way earlier in this conversation!"

[manxomnivore]

"I could have. But I didn't. Because I wanted to talk some more."

Not necessarily talk to him. Just talk.

"I've done that now, though."

[agemofchange]

"Oh." He rubs his head sheepishly. "But don't you wanna talk some more? Orrr find me too adorable to eat?"

[manxomnivore]

She looks at him blankly. It's definitely not the latter, Steven.

"I'll eat you later."

She turns to go.

[agemofchange]

That's probably as close enough to a win as he could hope for. He waves meekly.

"Oookay. Um, seeya later? Have a... good night?" Here's hoping her tastes change radically.

[manxomnivore]

She pauses, then looks over her shoulder at him with a toothy smile.

"I will."

Then she vanishes from his dreams.
