Who: Everyone
Where: What's left of Wonderland
When: Beginning on 1/5
Rating: PG-13 to be safe, warn if going higher
Summary: Welcome to end game.
The Story:

Every part of the Mansion is gone except for parts of the first floor and on 1/5, the lights go out. The stairs go nowhere, and everything looks distinctly abandoned and dark. We suggest you find your loved ones, and stay close to them. This might be it. Maybe you’ll really die here.

Later that same day, the first floor begins to crumble away. Gravity is gone, and everyone rises into the void. There are probably tears and goodbyes. Maybe even conversations of when they’ll have to start eating each other to survive.

But then, there is a bright flash of light. A familiar light to anyone who has dealt with the Core before. It washes over everyone and suddenly you are somewhere else. Maybe you’re even someone else.

Everyone will find themselves in dream-like versions of pother worlds; memories from the absolute bottom of Wonderland’s barrel. These are things it has been sitting on for decades that it threw out there so everyone would have a place to land and finally get some food and water. Maybe your character finds themself having a drink at the Cantina from Star Wars with the Cantina Band on repeat until the end of time. Maybe your character is a magical person who traded their soul for the ability to fight witches. Maybe you just really, really wanted a Harry Potter AU one more time. Almost anything is fair game!

These will truly feel like dreams due to the fact that Dream Side is no longer a separate place in Wonderland, meaning that it will be relatively easy for characters to snap out of their respective AUs if needed, though some characters will naturally be better at that than others. There will be weak points in the events where people can slip back out into the black void, where they will see hundreds of little wisps of events in pale rainbow colors. They can travel into any of these to try and recover their friends. Anyone who went missing when the mansion started disappearing can be found here. Sometimes, if no one is in an event, its light will go out. It is unclear how long Wonderland can truly sustain this.

Go forth and break free from events one last time! And it might be a good idea to figure out how the heck you’ll get out of this one alive.

Please post a top level for each event with the relevant details (what you might see on the bulletin board) so that others can come play in the events you've created! We will also put up a top level specific to the void for anyone who wants to thread their characters in between the different event wisps.

Here is the info post for this log, along with it's FAQ and a few event suggestions.

Ange doesn't startle easily. But moving hair is not exactly something she sees from other magical girls often, so there is definitely a slight crack in her pokerface when she's suddenly tapped on the shoulder like that. It disappears quickly, but it sure was there.

"Your.. hair is your weapon? I've never seen that before."

[tinyfoods]

"Right? They're magnificent."

She really couldn't be happier with herself, even though she didn't actually choose it. And also as though it wasn't a little impractical.

"Oh! We're almost there!"

[entreats]

Well, as long as Entrapta is happy with it, then.. good for her, Ange supposes. Although she sure is glad to not be in the other girl's position when it comes to weapon of not-quite-choice.

When the other girl speaks up again she's fully drawn out of that thought though, instead quickly looking ahead of them to try and see if she can spot any sign of the witch.

"Is it here?"

[tinyfoods]

"Ye-- Wait."

She turns in a circle until she's pointed in the right direction.

"Yes!"

And suddenly they're within the witch's barrier. Entrapta looks up and around and seems for the first time to realize exactly what she was leading them into.

"...We're going to die."

[entreats]

Maybe a little too sudden there!

Thankfully Ange is good at quickly being on her guard. Even though she wasn't prepared to head into the dimension this suddenly, she quickly turns to look around them, a frown appearing on her face.

"No, we're not."

Well, as long as the other girl does nothing stupid. And as long as this witch doesn't turn out to be too much stronger than most.

"Come on, let's head further in and find that thing."

[tinyfoods]

Entrapta doesn't look entirely convinced, but she tucks her tracker pad away wherever it came from and follows Ange.

"So...do you have any idea what kind of witch we're dealing with?"

[entreats]

"I haven't encountered her before. Obviously, or I would've gotten rid of her right away." Despite Entrapta's sentence sounding weird - like there's a word or two missing there? - Ange can at least gather what she means from context clues. And she just chalks up how weird the sentence sounds to her as part of the other girl's.. quirkiness.

"But from what I've heard from other magical girls, apparently she has something to do with sand. Since people have been disappearing lately, I'm figuring she's burying them or something like that."

[tinyfoods]

"Sand?"

Entrapta looks around curiously.

"Do you think-- Whaaaat is that?"

She points with her hair at a familiar, getting closer to it.

"Aw, it's kind of cute..."

[entreats]

Despite her expert pokerface, Ange still looks kind of startled - honestly, by Ange standards "kind of startled" is practically a jaw drop.. - when Entrapta just.. does ahead and does that all of a sudden. Has this other girl never fought a witch before or something?

"What do you think you're doing?!" There's definitely more urgency in Ange's voice now. She doesn't know Entrapta well, and she seems kind of.. weird? But it's not like that's a reason to just let the other girl get herself killed.

[tinyfoods]

"But it's cute! I don't--"

Once again, Entrapta is interrupted, but this time it's not nearly as benign as seeing something dangerously cute. This time, it's because Zenobia has appeared and is looming over them.

With her back to the witch, Entrapta's first clue that she's there is her shadow. She stares at the ground, a bit too afraid to turn around.

[entreats]

Thankfully she doesn't seem to have as much fear. Or rather - instinct kicks in first for Ange the moment she even sees the very shape of the witch. She knows that just missing a beat can be enough to get yourself killed with these things, so she doesn't take a risk.

She reaches her arms out in front of them, a thick tome appearing in them out of nowhere. It flies open, the pages flipping... "Watch out!"

That's all the warning Ange gives before the book glows and ornate stakes appear floating in the air around her before they start speeding off to drill into the witch. (And hopefully not hitting the other girl along the way.)

[tinyfoods]

Entrapta has the good sense to duck, using her hair to quickly spider-walk out of the way, getting herself behind Ange. She screams a little in the process--loudly since she has little volume control most of the time--but not for long.

She has no idea how her magical girl hair or her tracker pad are going to help in this case, so she decides to just stay out of the way.

[entreats]

Oh geez. The scream is distracting enough that not all stakes manage to hit their mark - a few drill into the witch, but the others fly past her. Ange sends them back again to try the same thing, but it seems the witch has enough of these two pests running around in her domain. She raises her huge arm, right above where the two of them are standing..

"Hurry, out of the way!" Ange quickly jumps to the left before the arm is lowered down like a sledgehammer.

[tinyfoods]

Entrapta dives out of the way, then, thinking maybe she can help after all, wraps her hair around the witch's arm. Where that much hair came from is anyone's guess.

"Attack again!" During this brief moment where Entrapta's keeping her in place.

[entreats]

It takes a moment for Ange to be able to look back at the witch after having to dodge out of the way and then try to place what that thing around the witch's arm is. Despite having had a demonstration of the other's powers, she still isn't quite used to what Entrapta's hair could do, after all.

But once she realises what's going on, Ange nods. "Okay!"

She seems to call the stakes back to her, and then sends all of them flying straight for the witch once more - and this time all hitting their target, with the enemy being unable to move out of the way with how Entrapta's got it stuck in place.

[tinyfoods]

Sand pours out of the witch from the wounds Ange caused and Entrapta has to let it go and hurry out of the way again. She retreats to Ange's side again, watching the witch carefully. It isn't moving, but Entrapta's not sure if that's because it's dying or because it's rallying.

"Now what?"

[entreats]

"We wait."

Because Ange isn't also too sure which of the two it is. You never know for sure with these annoying things, they're so unpredictable. She's heard enough tales of other magical girls being killed just because they let their guard down for a second at the wrong moment.

.. except she stands there with Entrapta for.. well, it's probably at least a full minute. And the witch still doesn't move. It's just looking kind of deflated at this point with all the sand that came out of it.

".. really? That was kind of anticlimactic."

[tinyfoods]

Entrapta moves closer to the witch's remains and pokes at it with her hair.

"Well. I guess we can leave then!"

That's better than dying!
