[vitaelamorte]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: The Dark Lantern Tavern!
When: 1/15/16 -1/18/16 - The duration of the event!
Rating: Probably PG-13, will vary by thread.
Summary: Let's go to this creepy tavern and ask for some directions! A log for staying nice and dry inside.
The Story:




For the duration of the event, the mansion has become a dingy tavern. It has two floors, the bottom being the main tavern and the upper floor has six bedrooms with one bed and one magic closet in each room for everyone to fight over, unless they don't mind sleeping on the floor or in the tavern somewhere. With the amount of people in Wonderland, everyone is cramped together and it will be very crowded. The closets will work, however they will only provide clothing and items from time periods long gone (though they do not seem to be bound to any particular time period). There are no employees to be found in the Tavern, but there's a working kitchen with a wood fire stove and enough food and drink for everyone to last the entire event comfortably. There's even a stage with musical instruments to entertain yourselves with! There's no electricity, but plenty of candles and lanterns around.

For the entire length of the event, it will be dark outside. In addition to the never-ending night, it will pour for four days straight, and it will all seem rather ominous once it becomes apparent the sun isn't coming out. Pretty much all signs will suggest that everyone should stay in the tavern and eat, drink, and be merry with their stupid new names. But it really is tight quarters, and some might be curious to see what else is out there. Maybe there's another place to stay out there, or something. Maybe the Beast Alice spoke of is out there.

He died some years before arriving in Wonderland, but that's a quibble.

"In some ways it's nicer. But I have friends on Earth that I want to see again."

Which is the main reason he wants to leave Wonderland. But it's also because of how similar this place is to the Holiday Star. He doesn't like places that lure people in and then refuse to let them leave.

The Subject is still trying to wrap her head around that particular fact- that dead people can come to Wonderland. She's quite enthralled by the idea, and likes to think she's found someone who at least has some experience... being dead.

"You mean like... talking to them? Could they hear you?" That's either really sweet, or creepy as hell. Like Jaws creepy, she thinks. Obviously she doesn't say it out loud (does the Ghost even know what Jaws is?). In any case, she thinks it's more of the former.

[mourning_ghost]

"Yeah. They could see me, too. If they couldn't we wouldn't.... know each other." It's been too long since he's seen St. Pigeonation's and, more importantly, his friends there.

He wants to go home.

She can feel the sadness from what he's saying, and she thinks too of the people that she misses. "You must have been really close," she says, her voice soothing, sympathetic. "I miss my friends too."

Though she also feels like there's something to be glad about. The Ghost could be seen, and heard- there was a chance for him to keep his old friends and continue to be with them. She wonders how complicated that must be, and if there's any sort of regret at not moving on, at being among people but only as a ghost.

[mourning_ghost]

"...Indeed."

When given the choice to move on, he'd chosen to return to Earth as a ghost instead. He'll move on someday. Just not yet.

The Subject shuffles her feet, looking out into the rain. Part of her brain focuses on the fact that she just had a conversation with a bird, but mostly she's thinking about what they actually said. She'd just finished her conversation with the Puppet, and... well, she feels like being alone again.

"I think I'll head over to the stable for a bit. Just to get out of the rain."

[mourning_ghost]

"...Alright." Though he's not sure how the stables will help since the Subject has an umbrella.

[mypartnerintime]

At this point, she's seriously just looking for an excuse to be alone. But, not wanting to leave on a downer, she tucks her camera under her sweater (whatever this vintage thing is called) and props the umbrella up to cover the Ghost. "Here. You can have this," she says, bending slightly to protect her camera even more from the rain. "And I... hope you get to see your friends soon."

She knows her mood changed pretty quickly, and the Ghost would notice, but- well. That's okay.
