The Story:

ALLEN

B1
( to interact with the real barry allen, replies will come from accelerate! )

[ it's no surprise to anyone who knows barry allen that he's eating all that he can. it's not really his fault, in all honesty. wonderland places a plate of food before him, and it'd be rude of him to not take it and eat it. ]

[ it doesn't matter if he's at a party or not, barry's always got some food in his hand. either having stepped inside a room like a normal person, not accompanied by any golden kinetic energy, or having flashed in, swept the room in wind, and left with a good portion of the food — barry's always nibbling on something. ]

[ with his mouth full, he'll always point to someone who looks a little overwhelmed by the display of wonderland hospitality. ]

Hey, are you going to eat that?

B2
( replies will come from a visitor from earth-2, analyse! please be aware there is a good chance earth-1 barry allen will appear. )

[ bartholomew from earth-2 has wandered away from barry from earth-1. it's a little confusing to think of one another as the same person, but bartholomew takes it in stride. after his doppelgänger had pitched they pretend they're the olsen twins, he'd been left on his own to explore, phone in hand to send out a distress signal if he so much as happens to encounter the mad hatter and an invite. ]

[ barry has the belief bartholomew may have better luck than him in scoring that, after all. ]

[ dressed in clothing that isn't quite modern, bartholomew allen wears glasses, shoes with great tread and winged-tipped, and looks around the mansion and outside in wonder. he's never seen such a place like this before, and never in his lifetime did he expect wonderland to be real. ]

[ for someone who takes great pride in always noticing the small details, bartholomew — that's what we'll call him for differentiating purposes — walks with his eyes on the ground, ceiling, or walls, and bumps into plenty of people along his way. ]

Oh! I'm so sorry —

B3
( replies will come from barry's mirror disintegrate! )

[ unlike his earth-2 counterpart, whom he hasn't quite stumbled across, barry's mirror walks the hallways with a confidence barry allen in all of his flustered glory lacks. his attire is less of a man who's awoken and slapped whatever happened to be on the top of his closet shelf on; wearing his infamous converse shoes that are clean and in good condition, barry walks around the halls comfortably in jeans and a blazer. ]

[ the way he walks is with confidence, slow and steady steps winning this particular race. he looks around the mansion with an expression that isn't in awe, but if one was to look more closely, they'd notice how his eyes linger on the walls, doors, even the windows. ]

[ sometimes he can be caught there, simply staring out at the techincoloured and large fields outside. ]

[ he's in the bar, drinking but keeping note of his own pace and limitations, and outside, walking through the grounds without much of a care, as he hasn't had the pleasure of being able to do this on the mirror side. ]

B²
( replies will come from both accelerate and analyse! )

[ there's nothing like showing your doppelgänger around a world you've both read about. barry takes his earth-2 counterpart around the mansion, showing him the sights and sounds, goading him to eat food, open doors, even help him find the mad hatter. the two are always smiling, barry's grin a bit wider as he pulls bartholomew around like he's an excitable child, and his earth-2 doppelgänger digs his heels in with hesitation quite a lot. ]

[ basically: they can be found anywhere in the mansion, so feel free to stumble upon them being nerds about something wonderland related, or jot down where they can bump into your character and we can have a great barry time. ]

PIERCE

K1
( replies will come from the real katherine pierce manipulative! )

[ katherine crumples up her invitation to any of the parties for the week. ]

[ she still attends, makes an appearance, lingers in the shadows, flirts, openly eats and drinks, and often wears an expression of pure distaste. there's nothing more that she dislikes than an open party like this, and so she tries to keep low, but fails in doing so many times over the next several days. ]

[ she can always be found at a party, drink in hand, eating a cupcake with a delicacy of pulling it apart and with boredom in her expression. and she can be found walking around the mansion, peering up at the walls, looking and hoping for a rabbit hole to leap into and leave. ]

[ wonderland is grand, and it's as honest as she'll ever be about what she likes about this rabbit hole, but she feels trapped and like she's on borrowed time, and katherine never likes taking a favour from someone she can't quite interrogate or intimidate. ]

K2
( replies will come from katherine's mirror coerce! )

[ katerina wears several corset dresses with large skirts over the next few days. with her hair curled immaculately, she walks with a skip to her step and always with a smile on her face. her expression is always kind and open, and katerina is the complete opposite of the disdain and often coerced kindness her real always presents. ]

[ as taken as she is with the colour of this mansion, katerina doesn't let herself become swept up by it and distracted. she's in search of her real's room, and walking through the corridors is giving her an incredible sense of deja vu. but there's colour in the corridors the mirror side lacks, and she admires it with an almost childlike wonderment, hands behind her back as she twirls on the spot and sometimes doesn't look as to where she's going. ]

[ but there's something in her hands, whenever she's in the corridors. a photograph she wishes to leave just for her real. she keeps it behind her back whenever she sees someone in the distance or passes someone inside of the mansion. it isn't for anyone to see but katherine. ]

( i will match action spam or prose! for any threads that involve more than one barry, i'll indicate in the subject whether or not to wait for a reply from one of them. feel free to pop a starter anywhere in the mansion, katherine and barry will be there to hang out with you! pm bogans if you want to do anything specific! ♥ )

No. Maybe not.

[ barry smiles, though, almost like he's wile e coyote about to catch road runner. ] But I now know what to look for.

[ someone who speaks of snart in high regard — maybe even blush. what's the opposite to heat blushes? ]

[ glancing down at his watch, he looks to his doppelgänger, then back at snart. ] Look, we're going to go grab some food. You can either come with and spill all your tea, or we're going to go eat all the tea. [ he shrugs his shoulders. ] Your call.

[catchacold]

[...Ray kind of does that. To just take into account the people that are actually there. It's the Snart Effect™.]

Off you go. Don't forget to chew.

[ barry's a little awkward. ] It was nice … meeting you. [ he lifts his hand in a little wave. he doesn't know what to make of leonard snart. he has a feeling from what he's seen, leonard snart doesn't hate his earth-1 counterpart. there'd been a massive information dump from allen (who talks really, really fast when he gets going) that barry's not too sure what to make of anyone. ]

[ what he's seen, though, is a respect some of the comic books he'd spent his pocket money on as a kid does exist with the real world representations of those heroes and villains. ]

[ he can't quite say he'd be overly friendly and comfortable if he was to meet leonard snart again, but he has a feeling he wouldn't necessarily be fearful of whether or not he was going to hurt him if they ever crossed paths again. ]

[accelerate]

See you around.

[ barry nods, then leads them away. he knows his earth-2 counterpart's looking over his shoulder, as if expecting something to happen. they're a good distance down the corridor before he turns around, walking backwards, and throws his thumbs up. ] Stay cool!

[ you know, gotta let that last pun in. ]
