[The image begins with a fairly irate looking Barbie tapping a pack of cigarettes against the unseen surface beneath the device. One side of his chin bears a blackish sooty mark, and looking close enough will reveal a bit of singing around his beard. Not a lot but it's there.]

So... someone got a secret on how to make the closets stop, I don't know, pranking me? Most of the stuff I ask for? I get, no problem. Sure, I've got one helluva collection of supersoakers and enough Spam to last me for a damn decade but for the most part? It's worked for me.

Except this...

[He pulls one of the smokes from the pack, lighting it with a wooden match before holding it away from his face.]

They all look identical but I have about a fifty fifty shot of getting...

[The cigarette explodes, a trick toy that Barbie has only ever seen previously in Marx Brothers and Three Stooges movies.]

What the hell am I doing wrong?

[Tim is Fine. He is Totally Fine. See how totally fine he is?

...Well, not totally fine. He's typically a serious kid, but he looks almost somber right now.]
I hate to be the bearer of bad news--again--so I guess I'll just get it all over with at once. Is it bad news if people are going home? I don't know. I don't really know what any of them were going back to. Anyway, Kon, Jon Kent, Lois Lane, and Jason Todd have all gone home. So of you've been looking for them, you can stop worrying.

I guess.

[End video. Anyone looking for Tim will find him in the training area, the Robin Cave, or the roof.]

 [With the event over and everything back to normal, Mikan starts up a video in the clinic. For those of you who know her, it may be surprising to see her wearing a cute hair accessory, as she normally doesn't wear much besides her uniform.]

Hello, everyone. I hope the last event wasn't too bad for everyone... But, um, there was something I wanted to announce before, and the event got in the way... so I want to do it now before anything else happens.

Starting today, I will be accepting blood donations for the clinic. Blood is very important, and you never know when someone might need it! So, um, if you'd like to help out, I'll be in the clinic, as always... If you know your blood type, that would be useful... b-but if you don't know it, that's okay, I'll figure it out! And, um, I know some people don't like needles, but I promise it's not that painful! Some people don't even feel it if they're properly distracted...

And I'll be giving cookies to anyone who donates! ... But, um, if you want cookies without donating, th-that's fine too!

I h-hope you all have a very nice day.

[ While Wonderland is normally in a constant state of flux and there's always something going on, things had gotten especially tense in the past week. It's understandable, given how things ended with the carnival, and now with all this talk of war.

The Lois that appears on the feed today presents a more casual vibe than the last time, and this is an improvement. She still isn't thrilled about being here, but she has family here and she is finally starting to settle in. Her hair is pulled back and she's wearing one of those ridiculous Superman shirts they sell to tourists on any street corner in Metropolis -- less Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Lois Lane and more Just Lois. ]


So. A question, and it's a quick one: what do you know about the Mirrors and what do you know about yours? I'm not asking for the Official Explanation here, I've got that; I'd like to hear some first-hand accounts.

( Jamie's in the library like he usually is whenever there's a moment or two to spare. He's read his way through a number of books since he came here to Wonderland but every time he comes here there's more and more books to be had. He has no idea how he's going to read them all and that's what gives him the idea late one night to see if the other people in Wonderland have a way of going about it. )

My name's Jamie Fraser and I've been here for a few months now. I spend a lot of my time here in the library, if ye have a mind to come in here, and I've got a few questions for everyone.

What's the best book you've ever read? There's so many here in Wonderland, books from before and after my own time, and I want a chance to read everything I can before I go back home - if I go back home.

Hey, Wonderland.

I know some of you were super excited to see Superman around, but... he went home a few days ago.
I waited a little while to say anything, because I figured he might come back, but he hasn't.

Wiccan was looking to put together a team of superheroes here in Wonderland, too.
Does anyone have any good ideas for a team name? I guess "Super Friends" isn't cool enough. I think I'll make a poll later with the best ones.
And do any superheroes out there maybe want to join in?

[The voice that finds the network belongs to a teen boy and sounds to be in pretty rough shape, like he's hoarse from screaming. (Spoilers: that is exactly what Jason has been doing in his room since he regained consciousness.) But he's found the comm device, so there's a very important question that needs to be asked.]

Is this ... is this Hell?

[Cissie has her ugly Christmas sweater on, and is wearing the Shaun Mason made her for Christmas. She is clearly hanging out by the giant edible tree in the entrance.]

This is my first Christmas in Wonderland, and you know, I've been hearing all of these horror stories about Christmas here, and I've been bracing myself, just waiting for something to go wrong or weird. I mean, don't get me wrong, the gingerbread everything... took some getting used to. And the cookies have been questionable. But in terms of Wonderland? [She shrugs. Things could be worse. She's just not foolish enough to say that part out loud.]

I totally get that there is still time for things to go bad on us, but honestly? I'm tired of sitting around waiting for the worst to happen. We're all stuck here, we're probably missing people from home and traditions we're missing out on. I've never really had much in the way of holiday traditions, and the last few years have pretty much been just me stuck in my dorm room, so I've been thinking.

What holiday traditions are you missing, and how can we adapt them and make something like them happen here? Because I bet we can get creative and make some of them happen. I mean, I know suggesting we make our own traditions is just kind of inviting trouble, not to mention that we don't want to be around for traditions to happen... but we are here, and we may as well make the best of it? If you have been here and have some traditions, please share them too! Non-Christmas holiday traditions are also obviously welcome.

Also, true story: the twelve days of Christmas actually start on Christmas, so. "It's over, why bother" isn't going to be an acceptable answer. [A pause, and a wince.] ...Okay, in light of. Where we are. Let's just forget I said that last thing.

[It's Mae, and she's up on the roof admiring the sunset, kicking her feet out over the edge.]

So it's December now, right? I mean, like. Calendars around here are weird, but I'm pretty sure it's December.

[She leans back and looks contemplative for a moment before continuing.]

So do we, like, do a Secret Santa thing around here or anything? Or a white elephant exchange or something? Is Christmas or...I mean like, any wintery holidays at all, is that a thing? Cause if not, maybe we should. Some kind of group gift thing. The last two months kinda just really sucked, event-wise.

I dunno, I just feel like people need cheering up, and 'tis the season, or whatever.

[Jason woke up inside the mansion, gave it all a cursory look-through, and promptly noped the hell on out of there. Ain’t nobody got time for this Wonderland theme park bullshit - especially not the Red Hood.

Of the available options, the forest seemed like the best way out, so that’s where Jason is now, trampling through the brush, snapping twigs underfoot as he mutters his complaints into the comm device:]


This would be going a lot easier if there had been any vehicles worth taking …

[The sounds of movement stop, and Jason sighs loudly. He is Officially Lost, and he wasn’t in the best mood to begin with, so he’s understandably a little tense in addressing whoever might be listening.]

All right, this is officially stupid, and I don’t have time for stupid. Got much bigger fish to fry, so I’ll get right to the point. Whose head do I have to stuff in a duffel bag to get a map of the way out of here? Tick tock, losers, answer fast – Daddy doesn’t like being kept waiting.

So is anyone else kind of over events like the one we just had? Because I'm ready to do stuff that has nothing to do with fighting.

Where I'm from, people spend Halloween going to parties and getting scared on purpose. The fun kind of scared, not the Wonderland kind. I'm talking grape eyeballs and pasta guts. A good house takes some time to build up, and I'm looking for some extra help. If you're strong, I could use some help knocking down a wall or two. If you like to paint, there's plenty of work. And I'm sure there are enough drama queens around that at least one of you is willing to dress up like a vampire and chase some kids around.

Hit me up. It's not like there's anything else to do but wait around for the next time this place wants to kill us, right?

ok but I'm assuming there's a welcoming committee? I'd just like to say that I haven't been introduced to the welcoming committee and also, I'm assuming there's a brochure somewhere, something along the lines of 'welcome to wonderland here are 101 ways to get high'?

didn't get that either.

so that said, i'm going to compile a list of every question you must have heard a thousand times before.

✘ this pocket universe is inspired by carrol's wonderland. duh. any signs of a portal? anything?

✘ are the mirrors creepy in a 1984 way or in a creepy-girls-WILL-climb-out-at-night way? super important.

✘ where are the EAT ME and DRINK ME stuff? because I had cookies three hours ago and I'm reporting no change in size. Where do I file a complaint?

✘ how many people's heads have been offed? is that a thing?

✘ is there really a high caterpillar? because meeting the guy's on my bucket list.

✘ HAVE all of the mansion's horses and all of its men tried to put Humpty together again?


also fyi if you see a guy in a flying suit of armor that's just me. don't shoot, it never ends well and also it gives me a serious electromagnetic headache.

I know a lot's going on, and things are a little crazy right now. But I also thought whoever this belongs to might want it back. I know I would. If you can tell me what the inscription is, I'll be happy to return it.

And... check in, okay guys? Check on your friends. If you need help, ask. There are a lot of people here with a lot of different skillsets, and most of us are happy to help, we just need to know where to go and what's needed.

[A teenager with long, reddish hair and amber-colored eyes considers the camera, adjusting a few note-cards he made as he thought things through]

Hi, everyone. Wonderlanders or whatever you call yourselves, Obviously this is my first time doing this kind of thing. Hell, the last time I was talking to a camera, it was to record my own eulogy after I’d been shot.

In the knee, it wasn’t really that serious or anything. But that kind of thing does make you wonder. Maybe this is the place for that. Wondering.

[A small, awkward chuckle.]

I’m just hoping someone out there sees this, and can lend the poor noob a hand. Because, prison or nexus dimension or whatever, this place sure seems strange, even by my standards. And, um, yeah, I spent my childhood in a VR chamber because I wasn’t able to interact with the rest of the world very well.

Oh, oops, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bart. Bart Allen. It’s short for Bartholomew, and I wanted to be different. It’s not the worst nickname in the world. I have a friend who has to go by ‘Gates’ because his name’s pretty much impossible to pronounce without insectoid mandibles.

Let's talk news.

[Georgia's sitting at her desk, dressed in her usual black blazer and white shirt, staring at the camera seriously through her dark sunglasses.]

I'm sure no one's guessed, but it's an important topic to me. In my world, the news, like everything else, changed radically during the summer of 2014 when the Rising happened. While mainstream newspapers and tv anchors were reporting that everything was fine and laughing about "hoax" zombie sightings, bloggers who took it upon themselves to figure out what was really happening. For bloggers, spreading the truth was more important than maintaining the rapidly deteriorating status quo. They risked their lives to learn how to deal with zombies, and they wrote everything down even while fighting off infection, so that more people could use what they'd learned to survive. They were the heroes of the Rising, and a big part of why we're still around.

The Rising ended over twenty years ago, but we never forgot. There's a reason I'm a blogger, and it's not because I couldn't get a job with a so-called "legitimate" newspaper if I'd tried. My generation trusts bloggers to tell the truth on their own terms, not to bow to the will of various outside powers with different agendas. That's what I'm here to bring. The truth, nothing but.

[She sits back. Her eyes are hidden behind her glasses, but her intense focus is clear anyway.]

But that's my world. I'm interested in hearing about yours. Internet, newspaper, hell, even if the best you've got is a town crier, you've got to get your news somehow. So tell me: what's your experience with the media?

[So here’s Mabel sitting at her craft table in her room, surrounded by her piles of stuffed animals. It looks like she’s about to make the world’s cuddliest State of the Union address.]

Hi, Wonderfriends!

As you know, I, Mabel Pines, am an expert at problem-solving. I not only solve my own problems, but the problems of my friends, and I have the scrapbooked evidence to prove it! Plus I’m co-leader of Angel Investigations- we make your mysteries history. Aw yeah, nailed that plug! [she high fives a stuffed animal, and then sighs and leans back.] But as surprising as it is, there are some problems I can’t solve. You see, I’ve been in Wonderland for two years now, which means I definitely haven’t been to the orthodontist. [and here, she smiles, revealing her braces, which she gestures to.] These things? Do not tighten themselves, guys. And since I kiiinda don’t want a super messed up mouth while I’m in Wonderland, I only have one question for you.

[and here she looks deeply pained, all the casualness gone from her tone, because believe or not, people, untightened braces are uncomfortable as hell.] Is there a dentist in the house??

[The camera opens close on Kon's face, though there's something odd about the light. It's mottled and colorful, like he's standing in front of stained glass windows or something. And he's grinning. That is not a grin you want to trust.]

Hey people! Thought it might be time to tell you about a certain superpower that no one except me has.

[Because he loves talking about it, and because it'll get anyone who knows him to zone out now. Convenient.]

See, I'm Superman's clone, and for the most part I've got the same powers... Strength, flight, durability... but there's one power that's entirely my own.

I call it tactile telekinesis. It's kinda like, a forcefield? Only I can manipulate it. It's great for taking things apart cause I can wedge it into all the cracks of something and then boom. [He holds up a hand and spreads his fingers.] But it's also great for keeping things together.

[He pans the camera up, revealing a mass of water balloons that should not all be staying up, since he's only touching one or two. But there it is, a huge mass of water balloons, held together as easily as if they were actually attached to each other.]

...you know. Until I don't need to anymore. Hi, Tim.

[He lowers the camera, just enough to give a glimpse of Tim Drake's face before he drops all of the water balloons on Tim's head. Then he turns the camera back on his own face as he flies away, cackling madly.]

Anyway, if anyone needs me, I'll be way, way over the roof. Later!

[ While he's known for being pretty quick to assess a situation and pick up on what's going on, there hasn't hardly been time for that before Robin John Blake is addressing the network, a rather uneasy expression wrinkling his forehead, his whole being scrunched up while he tries to get used to using a video function that is nowhere near standard in his time and place. ]

Uh... Know this is gonna sound kinda weird, but— [ Believe it or not, John Blake, there isn't much you could say that the denizen of Wonderland would consider weird, but you go ahead and give it a try, buddy. ] Well... don't s'pose I'm dreamin', am I?

[ It feels like a good guess because he doesn't remember traveling, and he certainly doesn't remember leaving home, and since the last thing he'd done was attend a funeral, it could be a strange coincidence, a fabrication of his mind that's now semi-lucid, sitting here telling him how what he sees and feels can't be what's actually happening. People don't just appear in storybooks (and even if he did, it wouldn't be this celebrated tale). ]

Barrin' that, think I might be dead... [ It's mumbled in an off-hand way, as if maybe he's already considered it, but decided not to lead with that theory. Audible to the rest, even if he's quick to move on from saying it. ] But on the off chance I'm not either of those things, think someone could help me out figurin' what's goin' on here?

[ He likes to think a uniform would have added something to this request, but having just given up his badge for good, all he can do is address everyone as a regular guy — definitely not his first choice, since it usually does him no favors.

He looks like he's done, about to end the transmission, when something else occurs to him.
] —in person, if possible. Not really— Not really much of a fan of these things, not if I can help it.

[ He can't, not here, but he'll at least be content to try for a while. With luck, it won't even matter when he wakes up from all of this... ]

Be— [ A gesture over his shoulder. ] Gonna be outside for a while — out front. So... yeah.

As many of you have no doubt noticed by now, we are in the midst of what, for lack of a better word, I'll call an event. Not a normal event, though. Wonderland hasn't raked through anyone's memories and put bits of our lives on display. This is the doing of individual Reals and Mirrors, and the fallout of their actions, proving once again, our greatest enemies will always be ourselves.

Leopold Fitz and Cisco Ramon, two scientists that started out with the best of intentions, as so many scientists do, have been trying to create a way out of Wonderland, though they refrained from sharing this information with the public before running their experiment last week. "I don't think anyone's been that in the dark that some of us have been working on trying to find a way home. There's no sense in getting people's hopes up over something that is almost certainly destined to fail the first few, probably hundred times," said Ramon, when questioned.

For the time being please direct all inquiries regarding The Shattered Mirror's newsie and fictional divisions to this blog. Georgia Mason and Georgette Meissonier have both disappeared from Wonderland.

And as a personal side note, with both of my co-editors MIA, I'm not going to be in any kind of mood to deal with bullshit, so if we could keep any "it'll be okay," and "they'll probably be back" or whatever to a minimum, that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Alright. Let me see if I've got this straight. [ slight pause as she sucks in a big breath. ] In one day I've gone from the one-year-ish anniversary of being stuck in Gotham under some weird dome, to being forced to fight against another city in some bizarre multiversal death match, to now... being in Wonderland. Which is a magic kidnapping pocket dimension and not actually a fictional place made up of political satire or scientific and mathematical pondering, depending on which interpretation you go with.

[ there's an even longer pause this time, followed by a loud exhale. kara's trying to blow her bangs out of her face. ]

Right. Great. That's just... great.

You know what? I think I have to call it. My life has reached peak weirdness today. There's no way it can get weirder than this, even if somebody from the 5th dimension shows up.

[ another pause, this one filled with the sound of someone flopping backwards onto bedding. ]

Anyway. This is probably a long shot, but I was with some people when I got teleported here, and I was wondering if someone had heard of them? Their names are Jesse Chambers, Donna Troy, and Jennifer-Lynn Hayden.

[ this pause is tangibly awkward. ]

There's, uh. Also a gorilla? His name is Bill. He's really friendly and a nice gold color, can't miss him. He may also have a small human child with him since he was babysitting when the world decided to go sideways.

It's an image she intends to maintain, just like she does at home. She holds a hand up in a small wave, offering a tiny smile.]

Hello, Wonderland. Can I call you Wonderland? That's what I hear this place is, and can I just say that I'm kind of seriously regretting never reading those books before? I mean, I'm not the best student in the world, but I do like to know what I'm getting myself into. Not that reading would ever prepare me for getting kidnapped into a children's book, but I don't remember anything about kidnapping anyway, so clearly this is a case of the movie not following the book. ...Where this is the movie, if that wasn't obvious.

[Oh my god stop rambling, Cissie. She looks a litle abashed, blushing faintly. Great, her shot at introducing herself and she's sounding like a complete dork. She clears her throat and continues. Here comes the awkward part.]

Anyway, my name is Cissie King-Jones. I'm from Pennsylvania. You... may have seen me on a Wheaties box? If you're from where I'm from, that is. And if you are, I'd really like to know. And if you're not... it's nice to meet you?

If anyone wants to be kind enough to give me the Cliff Notes version of things, that would be awesome. I guess these kind of 'hey I'm new, what's up with this place' kind of questions probably get old after a while, so if you just want to introduce yourself, that's fine, too.

My name is Georgette Marie Meissonier. Buffy to my friends. I'm a licensed fiction blogger with After the End Times. I'm using text format because, frankly, the video quality on the tech here is personally offensive to me and whoever designed all of this needs to sit in a corner and think about what they've done.

But, okay, enough of the tech tangent. For now.


[ She's not done with this subject, Wonderland. Not by a long shot. But she has bigger issues than the abysmal level of tech you're all working with. You'll be hearing more about this in the future. ]

I'm a little uncomfortable with this because facts aren't my wheelhouse. I make things up. On April 17th, 2040 I legally died because of well.. the usual reasons. Viral amplification. I shouldn't be talking. I shouldn't be doing anything.

I've looked at this network and in between being appalled at your complete lack of security I've read up on things. Everything about this reads like bad fiction.

I know you're both here, I looked. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
