OPEN | here come the night
Who: Adam Milligan (
halfwinchester) and whoever else might be admiring Ewaymas!
Where: Around the mansion.
When: Dec. 13, anytime from late night to mid-afternoon.
Rating: G for now!
Summary: What the hell's with all this Christmas stuff? At least one newcomer is out and about looking at the changes.
The Story:
[Very rarely does Adam sleep through the night--or at all, if he's being honest. When the light fades and the mansion gets quiet, it's the perfect time for thoughts of his time in the pit to creep back in, and almost every night begins and ends with him sitting wide-awake until he's too tired to mount a defense. Sometimes he likes to ward away his nightmares in the bathroom. It's smaller in there, and reminds him of the times he'd hidden there when he'd been sick with the flu as a young child.
That night, he's counting spots on the ceiling of his room when the snow starts to fall, and it's the first thing that grabs Adam's attention before the noise starts. Snow? Had that been in Wonderland's weather report? By the time his curiosity wins out over his apprehension, the noises outside his door have long since stopped.
He creeps into the hallway in bare feet to see what going's on. Christmas decorations? Is it Christmas?
The mansion looks beautifully done up in the late hours of the night, and for a while Adam looks around until the pull to return to his room grows too strong. He can be found downstairs inspecting the giant Christmas tree once daylight breaks, dressed for the weather in a heavy sweater. His breakfast is an apple, which he eats while poking at ornaments on the branches.
For once, he has something to do in the mansion that isn't simply "avoid angels." It's strange enough thinking it's already December. A lot of the time it feels like he just arrived, soul broken and all.]

Not much to celebrate, is there?

Present?

[His dubiousness ratchets up to a whole new level. Sure, he'd seen some of the changes to the mansion, but a fucking Christmas socking with his name on it is just in all kinds of bad humor.]
A present from who?

Since when does Wonderland celebrate Christmas?
[That hadn't been part of the books, had it?]
no subject
Most people here do, so maybe that's why it does it. Every year, there are a few people who don't know what it is, but anyone from some version of earth usually knows.

Must suck to be a minority in Wonderland.]
It's not like a person can argue. Guess we'll have to settle for that answer.
[Kind of like with Souji's hair color. It's a thing that clearly exists, even if he's not sure why. Accepting it and moving in is the only way to go if he wants to save himself a headache.]

Adam sucks his bottom lip between his teeth, giving the massive Christmas tree a glance before nodding in Souji's direction.]
Thanks.
[For not being a total sociopath like Zachariah, too.]
