I've been thinkin'. [ Typically a dangerous thing for her to do. ] I feel like sometimes, vampires get a bad rap around here. Sometimes back home for me too, but...that's not the point. Point is, we're not all that bad, really!

[ Hear her out! Like, this definitely wasn't inspired by her guilt loop and how most of it involved her being a bloodthirsty bitchy bitch to her ex and ex's mom. Losing someone important to her wasn't worth the thrill of getting a little vengeance. ]

I know, totally hard to believe, right? But with more of my "kind" here, I don't want anyone gettin' all antsy and stuff. Not that it's happened. But it might.

[ She is most definitely not referring to a certain someone whose last name begins with an F and ends with an itz. There's probably a "fucking asshole" or two thrown in there for good measure, too. ]

So! [ She beams brightly. ] I figured I'd put together a little list to help clear the air some. Just keep in mind some of my fanged friends are weirder than others, okay?

[ After clearing her throat, she grabs her list and glances down at it to read. ]

One, just 'cause we like blood doesn't mean we're gonna go suckin' people dry. We ask permission or take donations.

[ ...Mostly true. ]

Two, we don't sleep in coffins. Like, seriously? Ugh. Why're so many movie vampires so goddamn weird? But I guess it's better than sleepin' under the floorboards like I used to have to back home. Yeah, don't ask.

Anyway, three. [ And now it's starting to get apparent that her list miiight not be super well thought out. Well, more apparent. ] We've got cool powers, but that doesn't mean we go abusin' 'em all the time. I mean, yeah, okay, I know it's obnoxious as fuck when I zip around all the time, but if you could run at like fifty miles an hour, you'd wanna do it all the time too, right? And sometimes it's fun to do stupid shit! It's--it's just cool.

[ There's a pause as she purses her lips awkwardly then gingerly puts her list down. She's begun to realize a lot of her examples boil down to LOOK WHAT I CAN DO. ]

Um. Well. I don't wanna hurt anyone. I like helpin' way more than bein' terrifyin'. [ Then, after a longer pause: ] That's all for now. Bye.

[ Thanks for listening to the unofficial vampire ambassador's TED talk. ]

[ When the feed starts, the camera is at first completely obstructed by a pink shirt and fiddling hands. When the figure finally backs up, it is revealed to be Juliet, who has propped her device up in order to get a good view of what is behind her - a bowling alley! She centers herself, in frame from the waist up, holding a piece of paper that she references periodically in her speech that sounds similar to a used car sale commercial. ]

Hello, Wonderland! I'm Juliet O'Hara and if you're like me, you love bowling. If you aren't like me, it's probably because you've never been bowling, so you don't know you love it yet! Which is why I am here to bring Wonderland it's very first, you guessed it, bowling alley!

[ She gestures behind her with a flourish. ]

Welcome to O'Hara's Wacky Wonderous Wonderland Bowling Alley and Smoothie Bar. [ It's probably an indication that the name is too long because she just reads it off the paper in her hand. ] It's located in room 10 on the 10th floor, and that's a joke because 10-10 is the police code where I come from for "off duty," because you are never on duty at O'Hara's Wacky Wonderla- Wonderous... [ She glances at the paper before she huffs and throws her arms down at her sides. The name is just too long, Jules. ] At the WWW!

It offers state of the art, pro-level bowling lanes, and wardrobes so you can get any kind of bowling shoe or bowling ball you need. There's also a karaoke stage and, of course, a smoothie bar. I'll also offer personal bowling lessons to anyone interested because I'm amazing at bowling and you can be too!

Barring events, Friday will be a glow bowl and Saturday there's a karaoke contest. I'll be having the grand opening this Saturday and I'd love for everyone to come and feel free to use it whenever you're in the mood. Or if you want to throw a party. Or, you know, whatever because it's fun. If you want to work at the smoothie bar or host karaoke just let me know.

[ She goes back to referencing the crumpled paper in her hand. ] I hope you all are ready to have a wonderous Wonderland time!

[ Juliet smiles and stands there for a moment. After a long, drawn out 30 seconds or so, her smile starts to look strained and her eyes dart to the side. Then they widen and she comes towards the device again, fumbling with it, and the frame turns back into a view of just her bright pink shirt. ]

Keep forgetting I gotta turn this off...

[ The feed finally ends. ]

So, this is my event.

[ When the camera flickers on, Penny gives a little smile and wave at first, then pulls back so a small Christmas tree is visible in the background. ] Uh, hey Wonderland...ians? So, Christmas is just a few weeks away. Or - I'm guessing a lot of people here celebrate things other than Christmas? If you do, what do you celebrate, if...anything?

[ She grabs a cookie from a plate out of view of the camera, swallowing a small bite, but for a flicker of a second, it's clear this cookie is coated with a thick layer of frosting and sprinkles. ] This is my first year flying solo for the holidays, and I have to admit that I really have this decorating thing down. [ She pans the camera a little, showing off her little tree and some garland and lights she's strung up. ] Also, because it's the holidays, I love the non-stop eggnog and cookies diet I've got going on. There are definite perks to not having your family around. [ She actually misses her family a lot, but she's trying not to really let herself feel that at all. ]

Also, for my own reference, does Wonderland tend to do anything especially weird around this time of year, like a "hey let's send off this year with a real bang" kind of thing? Just so I know what to expect.

[ Patterson wonders sometimes if there's any pattern to these kinds of posts, if people leave Wonderland at certain intervals, but even spending time trying to ascertain that has yielded no real information. There's no rhyme or reason as to why people are brought here, and just as much mystery surrounding why they vanish.

But her friends are gone, and that sucks. She's lost three good ones in the last month alone. ]


Just...a heads up. If you knew Jane or Kurt Weller, they're gone. Hopefully to something better than this place, but honestly there's no telling.

Uh. Anyway. Hope some of you are still enjoying really good Thanksgiving leftovers?

[The white haired man in the image is both a little out of focus, and more than a little unsure what he's doing. Michael seems bemused, if not outright nervous. He'd been so terribly excited to go to Earth, and this... hasn't been what he expected.]

Yes, hello, is this thing on? Sorry--always wanted to say that. [He chuckles, before moving on.]

But really, is it? Oh, there we go. [Nothing changes about the feed, so it's hard to say what he thinks he accomplished.]

I don’t suppose anyone could tell me where I am? If you could just, direct me to a bus. Or a train? Maybe an ‘uber’.
Something that goes to-- [And here the camera shifts jarringly to a view of the grounds where he's been wandering, and there’s some rustling, like the owner of the voice might be looking through notes.]--”Phoenix, Arizona.”

[Because that's absolutely a place he can reach from wherever he's wound up, right? Of course it is. The portal was supposed to take him where he needed to go--and where he needed to go was a rather specific place and time on Earth--so it must have. If it were anywhere else, a Place or a Zone for instance, he'd know. All of this is just... a misunderstanding. Clearly. 

This is the face of a man who is trying desperately not to consider the possibility that something has gone very, very wrong.]

Part I: blackjack!
So I have a kinda ridiculous confession to make. Ready?

I recently turned 21.

I dunno about you but Maxine and 21 dont exactly go hand-in-hand. When do I get my grown-up card? Was there an application form I missed?

More importantly I can now legally buy alcohol, and I'm going to celebrate that with a cool glass of orange juice. ^_^


Part II: spooktoberfest
Ok so where im from October is basically the best month of the year. Perfect nature aesthetic? Check. Throw on your favorite jacket? Check check. Spookster bonanza? Hella check!

In normal words: who knows if we'll have an event around halloween? Can we do something fun around then anyway? Maybe a mildly scary movie marathon, or a costume party... heck I'd settle for plain old-fashioned decorating.

[Anyone who has been in the diner has probably at least seen, if not spoken to Souji. He's worked there for years, and he does all the cooking. So today, it should be no surprise that that's where he is when he starts up the recording.

He is rather tired, and sounds it when he speaks.]


I'm thinking of closing down the diner. It's just me working here now. I've run it before by myself and I don't really want to do that again.

[He pauses and sighs softly. He feels like he's holding the diner hostage--"Someone come help me out, or the diner gets it."]

I also don't really want to lose it. But without some help, it's not sustainable for me to do it alone.

[Having a part-time job is possibly the most natural thing he could ever have done in Wonderland. But this isn't a part-time job, it's basically become his life. He's tired of that.]

Anyway, if anyone wants to volunteer to help out, that would be great.

[He ends the feed there.]

You know, I didn't have a problem with rats until that. Pretty sure now I do.

[Death by melting rat really sucked, so she's going to try and act like everything's fine. It's not really fine, but she'll manage. She got through being murdered in the chess game and that really sucked, so she can get through this. Probably.]

And I don't feel like asking if anyone else has some bullshit like that Wonderland could through at us like if you guys have fire breathing parakeets or flesh eating manatees or some shit like that, so here's a different question. What didn't you all have a problem with before Wonderland?

[ Ange's message is pretty to the point. She isn't the most social type, after all, so she doesn't feel like fluffing up what she actually wants to know with some pointless social chitchat. Even though the topic might be a little too serious to just drive straight into. ]

What do you think happens to people who are dead? I don't mean people who die in this place. I don't know how many people there are in this place who are dead back home but ended up in this place somehow anyway, but I know there's at least one from personal experience. [ You know. Since she died right before getting here. Very personal experience. ] That's the kind of dead I'm talking about.

If someone like that disappears from this place, what happens? Do they go back to be dead in their own world? Or are they just permanently dead here? Do they haunt the halls like some spooky invisible ghost no one can notice?

.. I'd prefer if it wasn't the latter, actually. I've had enough of this place's antics as is.

I have a very important question for you all. One I hope I can get an adequate answer for.

[She presses her palms together and points her fingers towards the camera. The "booooi" fingers if you will.]

As I understand it, if someone leaves Wonderland for good, their things vanish. So what if their things are also your things?

[She seems to be doing her best to keep her cool. It's kind of working.] Th.. Thank you.

Gimmie a break, first that chess game, now this shit?

[It sounds like Jolyne's talking to herself, but she's looking right at the camera, holding a disc between her fingers.]

All right, so pretty sure this one's from my world. Short version, some asshole has the power to take your powers, they turn into CDs for some fucking reason, and then he can give them to other people. It's a giant pain in the ass.

[Which is putting it lightly, and yes, she is trying to act like she's merely annoyed by this and didn't spend a few moments panicking even with the announcement earlier because what if said asshole is here.]

I figure here it's not going to be too bad since most of you aren't assholes who are going to run around taking somebody else's shit and using it to hurt people.

[Probably, anyways, it's not like she knows everyone in Wonderland.]

So if you've got any questions, ask away. And in the off chance I'm wrong and this isn't part of that walk a mile in someone else's shoes stuff, let me know if somebody sketchy showed up in Wonderland and I missed it. Thanks.

[And Pearl knows a whole lot about just how bad keeping a secret can be for one's wellbeing, especially when said secret is forced into her and she is physically unable to speak the truth even thousands of years after the matter.]

[Yes, that hurts quite a bit.]

So I was thinking that we could all partake in an anonymous confessional! I'll go first, of course.

[She wonders if the truth would work over text, but oddly enough, she is too scared to try in front of so many people. Not scared that she could be free from the burden at last, but scared that it will be just as fruitless, and she'll have to face the reality of her apparently eternal mental captivity once more. Clinging to that little glimmer of possibility feels infinitely better than destroying it outright.]

[It wouldn't make sense to anyone but a few, anyways. Someday, somehow, the time will come. Hopefully. Maybe. Stars and heavens above, please. But for now, she had something a bit easier to stomach.]

Okay. Okay.

It seems that my sister’s battle lust will not be satisfied without a fight. Despite my wishes otherwise, I must implore you to help me. However, I do not want to force you.

[And she could, one way or another, if she had to.]

I would like volunteers to assist me. But I must be honest: this time, I cannot guarantee your safety. This is not a challenge to take on lightly. As much as I abhor the idea, I may need you to fight for me.

[She folds her hands again, her expression saddened.]

I will do all that I can to protect you, whether you fight for me or not.

[Note: If you have volunteered your character, you can either respond here to ICly volunteer or handwave a conversation with the Red Queen about volunteering.

There's an open bag of ketchup-flavored potato chips and some kind of nondescript can of soda with a straw in it. He's wearing a stupid, floppy beach hat and obnoxiously large sunglasses. He's got a fishing pole lying in the sand next to him, but right now he seems to be knitting.]

you know what the bright side of all this crap is? at the end of the day, they're just events. they suck, and then they're over, and then we have a couple weeks to just kinda...do nothing and wait for the next one. sorta proves that old saying, "this too shall pass," yeah? even if it's the worst thing that's ever happened, you're, uh...you're guaranteed that it'll end in just a couple days.

must be worse for the people whose worlds these events come from. yeah? they don't get that ending. they just sorta constantly deal with it. wonderland's almost like a...

[ Snow hasn't slept since she woke up. For the first time in so long, she's had nightmares about the burning room in the Netherworld, of being trapped in flames the way she was during the sleeping curse. So, she simply isn't going to sleep until she can talk to Regina and see about some kind of potion or magic that can put her under without having to dream of anything at all. Hopefully, something like that exists.

But this means that she's dwelling on what happened. Her death in protecting Emma, the fact that her daughter was indoctrinated anyway. And that leads her to late night texting. ]


For those of you that have family here, how do you deal with the idea that you can't always protect them?

[ It's not a concept that's new to Snow. She held her newborn in her arms for all of thirty seconds before putting her in a wardrobe that took her so far away. Snow has fought magic, ogres and Lost Boys for her daughter but this time she failed. This time, she couldn't keep the worst from happening. ]

I realize it's a broad question. But I'm not sure I've ever thought I couldn't protect my daughter before. Not until the past few days happened. Maybe I just needed to get the words out. It's much easier to type them than to admit them out loud.

Things like that don't happen twice right? So it won't happen again? Or if it does it'd be like how every time the zombies happen, they're different?

[Not that she really wants to deal with Reapers and indoctrination but now with a new hat or whatever variation Wonderland would like to spit out next time.]

Same with the military rations piled on the table next to the couch he's sitting on. Someone's a paranoid bastard who's been planning.]


So... am I the only one wondering who set the Queen of Hearts up for this declaration of war thing? I mean, her lack of sanity is pretty common knowledge so it wasn't that hard, but why does it feel like... I don't know. Buttons pushed and not just her snapping radomly.

Knowing who doesn't change she's planning something, but if someone really did set her up for this, they may not be done.

Hello again, Wonderland! While it's good to see all of your lovely faces, those nine flights of stairs up to my room are a considerably less welcome sight. Would someone be so kind as to help me up to my bed? A couple of someones if necessary? I've had an eventful week and I'm not at my best.

Once that's managed, I intend to stay there for a few days at barest minimum.

I'll be hosting horror movie marathons tomorrow night and the night after, in room 969, barring Wonderland-interference. Prior acquaintance not required! If horror isn't your cup of tea, feel free to stop by during the afternoons instead. Incidentally, non-metaphorical cups of tea will be available, or your hot or caffeinated beverage of choice. Hope to see you soon, darlings!

[ She pauses, looking down a little. Is this the right thing? Hell if she knows. It's not like she's in a place the size of Seattle. Maybe now's the time to just come clean. ]

The rest of you don't need to know but uh...at this point if someone found out by word of mouth I feel like it'd suck more, so.

My name is Liv. I've been living here since the summer. And...I'm a zombie.

[ She pauses for a beat. ]

Obviously from a different zombie world than the rest of you. I'll answer your questions now: Yes, I eat what you think I eat but the closet provides it for me. I only act like the maniac you'd expect when I'm hurt unexpectedly and then I'm super strong and just kind of...grunty. But I can help, I do help. I've saved people. I've died here. Yes, I'm technically dead right now, but I still look great?

I guess those are the hard-hitting questions. If you have any others I'll be here to answer them.

[As usual, when the camera turns on, Shepard looks a little stressed. When is she not, if we're being real here. She's not as serious as the last time she was on the network, but this is obviously a prepared address. As usual, her torso and head are in view, as she's broadcasting from her omni-tool on her left arm currently swung around to her front.]

Alright, so in the spirit of New Year's resolutions, I'm back to put some action items on the table. For those of you who remember the last time I was around, it's kind of about that. For those who don't or are too new, here's your reminder or introduction that this place is trying to kill us.

[She links to her last broadcast, which she'll do at pretty much every opportunity. That is not information she's letting die.]

That said, after talking with Evelyn O'Connell about this, she instituted the death count and I'm here to keep up my end of the bargain. I want to establish a guard, sort of- this isn't a full-time position but I can't promise it's not dangerous. We need to have something in place to protect people with higher death counts, and stop ones who are low from gaining more. Ideally I'd be looking for people to commit to playing bodyguard or organizing with me and others when shit gets rough. While Evelyn is... missing, for a while, I've got access to that data. Which if you haven't reported to her, I think you should.

[Or at least, the version of it before she left, that Shepard will be referencing.]

I want to stress that this is voluntary, but I also want to make it pretty damn clear that I'm tired of people fucking off and dying. The more hands on deck we have, the better. That said, if you commit to this, I want you to commit. I'm gonna need general defense and some point people to play personal escort during events to high-risk targets. If you're interested in either, let me know.

[A small pause.]

I'm also totally here to accept questions on 'oh shit, this place is actually trying to murder us' and 'who the hell are you', because I bet I'm going to get a thousand of those too. Which uh, right. Hey. Commander Shepard. Trained marine, sniper, ten years special ops experience, I know what I'm doing, thanks.

Ahh.. Seriously. Putting a girl back together is no problem at all, but actually being direct for once is a real challenge, huh? I see.

[ Yes, someone here is misunderstanding the situation 100%. ]

it's a real bad day to be the white rabbit, ain't it?
or from the looks of things. . a bad last few years.
aside from shoddy pamphlets, what other useful bits of information float around these parts?
I don't have the patience for this shit, and I've got a lot of spare C4.

[ there's some noise behind tony today, hammers and drills working in the background. let your eyes adjust to the image and you might see robots putting pieces into other, newer robots and they all seem to be wearing...santa hats. he seems on the verge of saying something when two others fly through the window. ]

do you mind giving us a moment?

[ at once, they all seem to stand still. he shakes his head. honestly. ]

These are what I call the Iron Legion. There are only ten of them. You might see them flying over the grounds. I send them to examine the terrain. The point is creating a virtual map and making sure it's all quiet out there. They also have some protocols for times of emergency. They can help people find ways of the mansion in case we'll ever need to evacuate.

[ he looks behind him ]

except you, I might just take you apart.

[ it's spoken to the robots; well, to one of them who keeps rustling in the background. ]

they're not armed, they're not here to hurt you, they aren't going to try and interact with you unless you need help. Please don't try to interact with them or shoot them out of the sky, it's kind of important they'll stay in one piece. Look, they're even themed for the holidays.

[ aren't the hats cute? guys? ]

[There's not a whole lot of audio stimulation on the other end. Wherever he is, it's quiet, on purpose? Maybe. It could just be that he's managed to get a few seconds of peace in an environment that wasn't crowded. That's all this place ever felt like these days, crowded.]

I dunno about the rest of you, but Halloween's just about my least favorite holiday that hits the calendars. Wonder what the Chuckleheads in management have in store, nothing stays quiet in this shithole for long.

Better keep eyes on ammo and able bodies.

There hasn't been any new material, not in a while. Knocking on my door without calling first is a 100% guaranteed barrel to the face.

I'm serious.

[Ishimaru hasn't really been at a hundred percent since Mondo's arrival in Wonderland and the difficult news he brought with him. A lot has been weighing on his mind, but over time he's managed to gain some comfort and regain some of his energy by throwing himself into his studies and focusing on them. And during the last event, he mostly spent time coordinating people in the safe zone while in his pajamas. Now that things have quieted down again, it seems like the time to address everyone.

And so, on this day he addresses everyone with an energetic message! He goes on cheerily, although every now and then his cheer fades a bit.]


Greetings, people of Wonderland! In case you have not met me, my name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru! I believe in bold simplicity, and through hard work I have earned the title of Super High School Level Public Morals Committee Member! Even though I've been trapped here in Wonderland, I am still doing everything that I can to continue my educational crusade in this world, and I highly encourage anyone to join me! If you find me at the library or the youth center, you are more than welcome to study with me. Let's all do our best!

In fact, I would also like to encourage everyone to help me with my studies right now! Please help me in one of two ways. Either quiz me on any subject, or teach me about something from your world. You could even do both if you so please! I would highly appreciate any help. ...Y-you can also talk about the value of second chances here in Wonderland! [Just in case Mondo is listening. He then closes with a hurried bow.]

Thank you for your time, and may you all have splendid days!
