The Grand and Splendiferous Ghost Log of 2013

Who: The Ghosts of Years Yet to Come and YOU!
Where: Anywhere. Everywhere.
When: December 15th - December 25th
Rating: G for Ghosts, Proceed With Caution!
Summary:
• This log is intended to give everybody a good overview of where in Wonderland which ghosts can be found. It can be used as a reference for other posts, or to thread encounters too short to warrant their own entry.

• To help browsing all ghosts easily, please put [Name of Ghost Character] - [Location of Ghost in Wonderland] into the subject line, so everybody can immediately see who they'll encounter, and where.

•If you have any more questions about the ghosts, or the Christmas event in general, go ahead and post a comment to our Q & A thread!

• In short, STEP 1: Posts with ghosts! STEP 2: ?!?! STEP 3: PROFIT!

The Story:

And so it begins.

Throughout the mansion faded images will flicker in and out – ghosts of Wonderland's future. These ghosts can be of anyone, from any point in the next five years. They will play on repeat, as Wonderland's Chess Piece Ghosts have in the past, and they will offer brief glimpses into the future for anyone who witnesses them.

They cannot be stopped, and the images cannot be changed or altered. This isn't to say that the future can't eventually be changed, of course, but there is nothing that anyone can do over the course of this event that will change the contents of these imprints.

Yeah, that's-- That's what we thought.

[And they were right. Just... Not in the way they wanted to be.

Shivering slightly, he lifts his shoulders and moves to cross his arms, hoping to trap in some kind of warmth. The subject matter and the cold wetness combined are seriously sobering, and that's just about the last thing he wants right now. And it sucks, because without the the verbal laxative effect most drugs have on him and the benefit of a pleasantly fuzzy head to pick some dumbass comment out of, he's not sure what else to say. Everything he can think of seems inadequate or stupid. There's no fixing what happened, no defending it...

Yeah, he's at a loss.]

[Honestly, this is outside of Blake's skill set, but he's trying. There's a lot he wonders, and a lot he doesn't really want to ask. Instead, he sort of lets the moment be what it is, steered toward somewhere warmer and intent on thinking this over in depth.

After a moment, he lets out a long, controlled breath.]


Kinda wish I was the one comin' back. Dunno how Wonderland makes its decisions, but... [Head shaking here, all the head shaking.] Well, whatever. You know how it goes.

[Warmer, yeah, Jesse can do warmer. He follow's Blake's lead automatically, shuffling along in silence until Blake voices his opinion... Which he responds to with a head shake of his own.]

No, you don't. [You don't know what you're asking for here, Blake. He's self aware enough to know that he's not the best candidate for this to have fallen on, but he's under no illusions that it's a hell of a lot easier for anybody else. The responsibility isn't something he'd wish on anyone, especially not Blake; he personally thinks it's all pretty hopeless (which helps, in that defeatist sort of way), but he knows for a fact someone like Blake would try and try and try anyway...

And then blame himself when it all went to shit regardless.

Eventually he realizes that he's been quiet for a good long while, and lets out a long breath as he shoves his hands into his pockets and squints at the Mansion.]
Anyway... I don't think it had a choice.

No, I know— M-mean, I figured as much, but this place, it's kinda... rule-breakin' to start. Dunno why somethin' like that couldn't pan out in our favor some of the time.

[He's not saying it would solve everything, but it would be nice if they had some options against getting the shaft every time. Blake, of course, keeps the majority of his thoughts to himself, but he can't help being a little angry at the world they're forced to live in (some much, much longer than others).

He holds the door and offers a rueful smile.]


Glad for the people, though. Can't ever say I'm not.

[Jesse huffs as he ducks into the doorway.]

Yeah, the chances of that are, like, slim to not ever gonna happen, man.

[But as to the other thing Blake's said:]

...You're right, though. About the people. They're awesome.

[Hard not to get attached after so long, no matter what kind of distance you might be inclined to keep... Jesse'd been screwed in that regard fairly early on; there'd never been much other choice.]

[At least that brings some warmth back into Blake, into his thin smile that's been waning by the day. There are times when he loves Wonderland and the opportunities its afforded him: he's gained friends and family — sometimes forcibly — and that hadn't been something he had succeeding in doing at home. Maybe just getting away from Gotham is enough, but he honestly doesn't think the difference is born of that.

He grips Jesse's shoulder with a gentle squeeze and nods at the thought.]


Yeah, they're real awesome, can't argue there. Gotta feelin' I'll always find it hard to regret gettin' close to people here. Been a hell of a ride already.

[Blake's hand is surprisingly warm at his shoulder. Aw shit, there he goes being all... Comforting. He'd be lying if he said he hasn't missed that; he regrets a lot of things about his life, but making friends here? Not one of them.]

Yeah, well... Hang on, yo. Seatbelts and oh shit bars and whatnot.

[There. Words of wisdom. You win, Wonderland. Knowing how well things usually work out for Jesse, there will probably be some kind of blowing-your-hands-off Butterfly Effect shit going on now...

Shoving his hands back into his pockets again, Jesse sighs.]
Anyway. I'm gonna go get my magic closet on, they're like-- like the Disneyland of the past tense, or whatever. Gotta hit 'em up while I'm here.

[Yeah that made complete sense. Drugs're bad, mmkay?]

[ Blake nods, though he's not so sure he wants to let Jesse move on so quickly. He's so desperate to connect, especially with the people that mean something to him. But he realizes what it's like for them, knows it hurts, so he lets it go and gestures for Pinkman to do what he's gotta do. ]

Yeah, man, have at. Oughta get everything you need. I'll see you 'round.

[ A tip of his head and he goes in another direction, though as a last thought, he turns on his heel and snaps his fingers. ] Oh, and if you wanna meal — something homemade — just text me.

[ Because he will always, always find time to feed Jesse. ]

[It's not that Jesse doesn't want the company- he always wants company... It's just that, yeah, it is painful. More than he can say and more than he can handle right now.

He'd love to dick around in the kitchen, make a mess or make something awesome, whichever... But it'd just remind him of what won't be happening when he gets back to his own time, and it's hard enough back there without all of that.

He just can't.]


Yeah. Yeah, I'll, uh-- I'll do that.

[He won't. Even if he wants to.]
