Summary: Could it be that you (GASP!) don't want to be here? Do you maybe want to make like a tree and... leaf? Then how about you do the next best thing, and come to the woods to party! And don't forget to have a look at the Fourth Wall Master Post for event rules, puzzle clues, and more places to mingle!
The Story:

Beginning on September 7th, colourful ribbons will hang from several trees by the forest. Whoever follows their path will be guided deeper, right to the scene of a forest party.

Wooden benches, swings in all shapes and sizes, tree trunks, and other arrangements give plenty of opportunities to sit together. Tree houses and tents provide shelter, and come nightfall the festivities will light up for you.

Campfires provide additional light and warmth and a great place for ghost stories. Camping coolers store more than smores, and all around you nature twists and turns to give you room to dance to the music, to wander in the quiet, and to simply have a good time!

(...Are you the curiously perceptive, or the perceptively curious sort? If so, then you might also notice the small bird sitting on a branch nearby.)

_{[He knows that look. And so you see why it takes a moment to steel himself for these sorts of introductions. Re-introductions?

Sigh.]}

I know who you are.

_{[That's a little bit of truth Victor thinks it best to be honest about. Pretending otherwise would only set a bad precedent if the truth were to come out as it tends to, and it helps to explain away his surprise at seeing an Original standing on the path.

He takes the offered hand, because really, what else is he going to do? Say no on the grounds that Klaus is an alleged killer? So is Victor. That's shaky moral ground to be standing on.]}

We met in Wonderland once.

[ well this is refreshing, commendable in its intelligence and bravery even; klaus has met so few people who knew him during his first stint in this magical place. for some reason or another, they seem to avoid him.

his fingers take victor's firmly, his continued amusement and intrigue plain. ]

Once? Well it's a pity I only have the pleasure once, Mr. [ lol or is it doctor ] Frankenstein.

_{[Can't imagine why anyone would avoid this charming specimen of... well, charm. Klaus looks entirely human to the naked eye; if Victor didn't know any better, he'd say he was shaking hands with an unassuming new acquaintance, none the wiser.

And shake he does, an ironically normal gesture, expression schooled into something placid. It's doctor, but you know what, he's just going to sit back and relax and let you do you, Klaus.]}

That is the confounding reality of Wonderland. You're not the first I've met who has no recollection of having been here before. That was about two years ago now.

[ wow victor way to spoil his fun. he wanted that awkward, telling moment where he's corrected. but no matter...

klaus does in fact know the basics of his untimely past arrival here, including how long he was here and when he left. he's not made many pains to inquire much deeper, knowing if there was truly anything he needed to know, camille would be forthright with him. that victor knew him, even in passing, does intrigue him, for the simple fact that this is a man who knew some version of himself that he does not.

no to mention he's been here significantly longer. ]

Yes, I heard it was about that long. And you? How long have you been here?

_{[That's Victor for you, spoilsport extraordinaire. But the night is young, plenty of time yet to butt heads about something or other. The possibilities are endless.

Though his shoulder and his hand are his property again, the Original doesn't seem inclined to dismiss him just yet and inwardly, Victor steels himself in case he has to get creative with his verbal dodges. How does he keep ending up sandwiched between super powered vampires and humans?]}

You were one of the first people I met.

_{[How time flies in a strange new world. Victor can only look back at that period in his life and think how young I was. Young and skeptical and too blind by far.]}

It would seem it was only a matter of time before we met again. _{[And, in the spirit of providing the same offer he'd given to Rebekah, he adds:]} You'll forgive me if that is an unwelcome sentiment.

_{[This is Victor taking Klaus' advice to heart and being careful.]}

[ like this possibility, right now. it's of meager interest that he was the first to meet this man. it's an inconsequential tidbit, as far he can tell. and he can tell a bit: particularly just how uncomfortable victor is. klaus' expression is one of polite curiosity, tinged only by the mockery of it.

and the bulk of his amusement drains at "unwelcome sentiment." it's a moment before he speaks, his gaze unerring as he studies victor and considers all of the many reasons why this could be so. his tone is even, nonthreatening, but there is no doubt to a observant ear that he's demanding an answer. ] Well then you'll forgive me if I'd like to know exactly why that is.

Since you didn't recognize me, I presume you have no memory of that time. Some find the notion that they could have been here in the past disconcerting and wish to distance themselves from the idea.

_{[Fortunately, Victor finds he doesn't have to dissemble innocence--his words carry no deep meaning that needs explaining or a great conspiracy other than to act with decorum. His response is perfunctory.]}

I meant only that perhaps you'd wish not to be treated familiarly by a virtual stranger.

_{[He'd like to try and not offend an Original if he can. For Elena's sake as well as his own.]}
