hey wonderlanders, let's talk about something happy for a change. because not everything that happens here is bad, and not all of the events are awful. some of them are actually pretty fun. my first one was like that. it was hogwarts, and i came out of that one pretty okay with the fact that i couldn't remember who i was during it, and i actually kind of treasure what i remember of that time. is that weird?

tell me what your favorite events have been. would you mind experiencing them again?

I liked that last event when we were in space. I got to play fun games.

And I really liked Hogwarts too. Everyone was so nice, and I got to go to school.

[lamiae]

yeah, that one was pretty cool. what games did you play?

i don't think anything's ever going to top the hogwarts event for me. maybe i'm biased, because it was my first one and it was something NICE instead of traumatic, but i loved it.

[naughty_nurse]

It was called Tentris.

[not a typo.]

It was lots of fun, and I didn't get sad or upset when I lost.

text

[lamiae]

don't you mean tetris? [ or tennis, maybe? ]

that's always good. games that are fun no matter what are the keepers. the ones whose cases i didn't lose track of and never looked very hard for.

text

[naughty_nurse]

I'm pretty sure it said Tentris.

But it was my first time ever playing a video game!

I'm pretty sure the one where we were in space was the only one I've experienced so far that wasn't also trying to kill me, so I'm going to go with that one.

[lamiae]

i'm glad that one happened. we needed something lighthearted after all the, you know, death and destruction...

[watchmaker]

I'll say. The last one, with the invisible zombies, of all things? Currently hold the place as my least favorite.

[lamiae]

yeah, i vote we never do that one again.

[ Peter's been avoiding most social situations which includes avoiding looking at the network. He's sort of holed away in his own room when he catches sight of the text post, and he can't help but reply, trying to hold on to something good, trying to pull himself out of the rut he's fallen into. ]

No, I don't think it's weird. Those rare, good Events give us a chance to escape stuff for awhile.

Hogwarts was my favorite Event too. There was another I really loved but it's more because of what happened between me and someone else. The actual Event itself was a pain. Mirror and real sides were reversed.

[lamiae]

they do. and there's no harm in escaping, especially when life here in general isn't always the greatest. we need those bright spots to keep going, you know?

[ speaking from experience. she clung tight to what was left of her enjoyment and happiness after she lost her mother, after she gave up surfing in the wake of that loss. ]

what house were you in? i was gryffindor.
...like, you were the mirror and the mirror you was you?

[saved]

yeah, i do. :)

[ they have to take what they can while they can even when it's hard, even when wonderland makes it all slip through the cracks. ]

ravenclaw. my. someone i really cared about was in gryffindor and then i had a few friends in slytherin too. i was way more popular in that school than i'm used to being.

no. like instead of looking into a mirror and seeing your reflection, you saw the mirrorside and all the mirrors hanging out over there. my mirror's kind of a bum.

[lamiae]

[ bonnie? probably bonnie. beckett's dimly aware of the fact that bonnie was dating someone named peter. (she misses her, too.) ]

i used to be popular. can't say i miss it.
i don't want to meet mine. she's probably awful.

[jivitadana]

It isn't weird.

[It shouldn't be. She had fun during the experience and no one could take that away from her.]

[lamiae]

:)
what was your favorite event, minato?

[text]

[jivitadana]

Space was okay. I'm waiting for better ones.

[Since his first event here was ending up in Hell. Then there was that pyramid thing. Then the flood and resets. Then dreams, then that lab, then space, then seeing tears in the scenery. Yeah, not too many great ones in there. Christmas was something else altogether too.

They weren't bad. But they weren't his favorites. He wouldn't complain.]

Hogwarts was the wizard school, right?

[text]

[lamiae]

you think we'll get any?

[ she hopes so. they can't just keep getting bad things, can they? it would drive them all mad. making them lose their minds can't be the goal of those in charge... ]

I liked Hogwarts! Think that's been my favorite so far, too, even if I couldn't remember who I was.
Kind of like we got to take a magical vacation for a couple of days.

Text.

[lamiae]

yeah! it was. i had fun. it was nice to forget for a while, to be someone who didn't know about the mansion or the place you came from. no baggage.
which house were you in?

Text.

[cuteshit]

Hufflepuff. Felt like a good fit. Everyone there was really cool. How about you?

Text.

[lamiae]

you must be a loyal friend, then :)
i was in gryffindor, though i remember something about my father being a slytherin.

[thecourier]

i could stand to go into space again. never gonna see that back home.

[lamiae]

do you not have a space program? no NASA?

text;

[thecourier]

never heard of anythin like that.

maybe up in the commonwealth they got that kind of tech.

text;

[lamiae]

oh. well, not every country has one... but i shouldn't assume you're from a version of 21st century earth like i am.
where's this commonwealth located?
