[echo-of-utopia.livejournal.com]

Who: You. That's right, YOU. [OPEN]
Where: EVERYWHERE!
When: March 19th, starting at midnight
Rating: To be determined. First offer is PG-13 for drug use.
Summary: CANDY RAVE PARTY IS GO!
The Story:


"At exactly midnight on the 19th, the mansion becomes a club where the party never stops--even if you want it to. Neon and black lights flicker everywhere and loud music makes the walls shake. Outside, Wonderland has become a grungy city of doorless buildings, lit up in neon that makes it impossible to make out any stars in the sky. The only normal fixture of Wonderland that remains are the merchants, though residents will find them changed. Their masks are the faces of animals, their booths are run down, and they'll swindle, scam, and even steal from you if you don't watch out.

But that's not all. What rave would be complete without candy? It's all over the place, littering every surface, in all shapes and colors. The floors are littered with empty wrappers that tempt you: everyone else is doing it, so it can't hurt to have a piece. Right? ♥

And it doesn't! Not at first, anyway. At first, it's quite pleasant, inducing cheerful, playful, laid back moods in anyone who consumes it. It's quite addictive once you've had a taste, but there seems to be plenty to go around."

Then the post says something about changes when the 20th rolls around. But today is not the 20th, so who cares? IT'S PARTY TIME!

First the Mansion had turned into Tartarus, and now it was Club Escapade. It really had to make up its mind. Back at home it had been routine for Minato to stay up past midnight, and now with all the music and lights? All the more reason to stay up and find out what was going on.

No retreat from the Mansion's current mix of music. Even his MP3 player was playing the same rave music despite the number of playlists he had. He wandered the Mansion for some time, pocketed a piece of candy or two, and then found himself outside on the Grounds that had also changed into what looked like a city's rundown red-light district.

At least outside he saw someone familiar amidst all the changes.

"Another event, it seems."

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"Indeed." Unlike Minato here, Team Investigation only stayed up for the Midnight Channel. None of that extra-hour bullshit.

So, unsurprisingly, by this point, Naoto looks a little rough around the edges.

"My only hope is that it will be over soon. However, knowing Wonderland, that's probably not the case."

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

"Maybe in a few days." Not all that comforting. And it wasn't that much better outside either. Just a few hours of the seemingly never-ending cacophonous din was already going to be painful. Part of the Mansion's plan to exhaust them all? There isn't any way anyone would get any decent amount of sleep at this rate.

"We don't know yet whose memories these are?"

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"No, we don't. Most of the time, no one speaks up. Which makes records and pattern finding nearly impossible." Is there a hint of grump? Oh, yes there is.

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

That's inconvenient and frustrating, especially for anyone doing as much investigation as Naoto had been. But in some cases, perhaps no one would want to speak up depending on what had been happening around the Mansion. The Mansion could be pulling from any memories it wanted.

"We might find out later on." Again, not very comforting. He would keep an eye out to see if he could find hints and see who would own up to this event.

"You saw these, right?" He took out a piece of candy from his pocket.

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I did." She pulls out an alternately colored one from her own pocket.

"It's worrisome that something for children is littered about in a place like this."

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

He wondered about the juxtaposition of the concepts once Naoto brought it up.

"It must be important to this person." He looked down at the pieces of candy. He didn't know what it meant, but it had to have some significance.

"You think someone will try it?"

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"Certainly." Sigh. "I wouldn't be surprised if there were some odd side effects, though."

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

"Hm. We might have to wait and see." He didn't quite like the sound of that plan, but it would be difficult to stop anyone from eating it if they wanted to since there was no evidence yet that the candy was dangerous. It could be harmless as well.

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"I doubt it'll do much, though. Considering the sheer amount presented, and the Mansion's need to not kill everyone in one day." DOUBLE SIGH FACEPALM COMBO X2

"I've been proved wrong in the past, though."

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

He still couldn't figure out why, when they had all been warned of the event, that someone or anyone would want to do that to themselves. Boredom, curiosity, experimentation, who knew. Or was there some side effect to not eating it was another possibility. Great.

"It can't be good either way."

He looked out at the dilapidated buildings again. "The change of scenery is normal too?" He remembered the Fog, but he didn't think that the actual Mansion or the entire landscape could or would transform as well. Rooms changed, but that seemed based more on typical operations of the Mansion itself.

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

"Yes, surprisingly. While it doesn't happen as often one might think, the Mansion seems to enjoy these "disguises." When an event like this occurs, though, at the very least, the basic form of the Mansion remains."

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

"And then it all changes back to normal." He was always learning something new about the Mansion every day. It never ceased to amaze him just what Wonderland was capable of.

"Planning to stay outside until it's over?" But... yeah, outside looks the way it does right now. It was either that or put up with the ghastly music that just would not stop.
