[The video opens on a close-up of Shaun. He's not looking his best--a little more tired and drawn than usual, but he still has a smile for the camera. He's a Mason. He always has a smile for the camera.]

So, Wonderland. It has come down to this. Decaf coffee, and no-brand cola.

[He pans the camera around to where three other people are sitting at a table. One of them looks like he could be Shaun's twin, while the other two are a pair of Georgia Masons, one in sunglasses, one in contacts. All three of them have sour expressions in their faces while they contemplate the substandard beverages in front of them. He turns the camera back to himself.]

I'll be taking bets on how long we last without actually murdering each other in these conditions. Anyone else wondering what would happen if we pushed a being from oh say a dream realm into the core to see if that would give it a jumpstart? Food for thought. Or maybe for the rest of us. [He shrugs and the other Shaun's voice comes from offscreen: "Give it a rest, Mason." He shrugs again and offers another camera-ready smile.]

Tune in as the endtimes approach and find out who will survive Battle Royale: Masonfest!

[An empty can of no-brand coke flies at this head and he turns off the camera.]

[The video feed displays one intense young man, who seems to be finding his bearings. He's in his room, with the first nine drawers of his advent chest opened and its contents strewn across a study desk, along with reading materials about Wonderland. The items include seed packets, a fruitcake, a pink disposable camera, some fortune cookies that have yet to be opened and a caricature of Ishimaru.

Right now, his attention is focused on the video feed. He greets everyone with a salute.]


Good day, people of Wonderland! My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru! In the eyes of Hope's Peak Academy, I am known as the Super High School Level Public Morals Committee Member! I would like to apologize for my apparent absence, and for how messy my room is at the moment. I have practically just returned, and I am in the process of regaining my bearings! Am I correct to understand that the Queens are truly gone? Such a noble sacrifice...

In any case, I would like to re-establish connections! H-has anyone else returned here as well? Please, feel free to announce your presence! And be sure to let me know if there is any other information that I should know! Thank you for your time, everyone. Let us all do our best to get along and work hard as we carry onwards!

[With a formal bow, the feed ends.

Beyond that, he could also be found wandering the mansion's halls, or settling down for tea in one of the tea rooms.]

So multiple people have been finding riddles in those weird boxes, right?

[ Someone apparently has never seen an advent calendar before in their lives.. That's what happens when you're raised so sheltered, apparently. That's besides the point though - Ange's idly playing with a piece of paper of paper in her hands, presumably the paper the riddle she's talking about was written on. ]

I thought maybe there'd be some sort of clue or secret message, but it seems like they're really just standard riddles. I mean, tell me if you've heard this one before.

"A murderer was condemned to death. He has to choose from one of three rooms: 1) A room full of raging fires, 2) A room full of assassins with loaded guns, 3) A room with lions that hadn’t eaten in years. Which room is safest?"

Isn't that one super old? They could've at least picked a more interesting one.

[Dipper is in front of his advent box, trying to pull the later boxes open, to no avail. The items he's already received--post-it notes, earbuds, a recipe, and a riddle--are scattered around him.]

So, Wonderland's starting its nonsense early this year, huh? I mean, it's just giving us weird presents and none of them have done anything yet so I figure it's gotta be the later stuff that's interesting.

[He tugs again on the last box, straining with all his far too limited strength.]

And wouldn't Australia have still been an island before it was "discovered?" If the question's about the largest known island before Europeans discovered Australia it's pretty Eurocentric. Unless it means the largest island before Australia was even a thing but we'd probably have to go all the way back to Pangaea for that and--

[He yanks again and only succeeds in pulling the entire box down on top of him.]

[The camera turns on and the lighting is honestly incredible for the equivalent of your typical smartphone camera. There seems to be... a filter of some kind on the edges? Little bright pink flowers and hearts that perfectly frame the screen. It's not until the camera moves again that it becomes readily apparent that, no, this isn't a filter, these are stickers that whoever owns this phone painstakingly put on so that their face is perfectly framed by it.

Who did it is readily apparent when a certain robotic face pops into view.]


Helloooooooooooooooo Wonderlaaaaaand~! ♥

[Mettaton grins, blowing a kiss to the camera.]

Did you all miss me? Don't answer. I know you did. And while I certainly did not plan, at all, to come back here for a second tour... I guess Wonderland had different ideas for me!

[He sounds only vaguely annoyed rather than furious. It's fine. He had his little tantrum before this broadcast.]

So! For all of you who have been here for awhile or since I have been gone- tell me all that juicy Wonderland gossip on what I've missed! And perhaps explain to me how I have gotten trapped again in this hellhole without the bare decency of having forgotten my previous stay?

[His smile is a bit strained at that comment, but he carries on.]

Regardless, I am back again to bless all of your lives! And I look forward to meeting you all.

[personal profile] singloversing
[Wirt's kept to himself the last couple of weeks, for a number of reasons. Some lingering nausea and a headache were the first excuses, but even he's aware that he's been moping. More than that, he's been wallowing in it and letting it consume him.

If occurs to him though, that maybe he should say something, anything to make others aware he's not gone too. So he's in the music room, by the piano. He never played it much, and still only knows a few very basic things, but he runs his fingers along a few short scales, something light and airy. He has a cassette player sitting on top of it - it seems he was recording it until just a few moments ago.
]

...I still can't believe Louis is gone. I know it's been a few weeks, but. He was always so good at seeing the good in this place, even when it was doing terrible things, and now? Now, it's like...a lone candle in the dark has been snuffed out, waiting for a morning that isn't coming. Waiting for someone to light it who will never come.

[A few more notes, and then he shakes his head.]

N-No, that...that one's not very good. I'll think of something better. But, um. ...I don't know. I haven't had very many friends before? I mean I had friends, but not like really good friends. Not until I came here. A-And I still have friends here, I don't want to imply otherwise, it's just-- it was...different with him. I've never had a friend like Louis. And because of how Wonderland is, I might not ever see him again.

[He pauses, fingers frozen over the keys. There's something hard in his throat, and a static in his head, but he says the thought anyway.]

...I wonder if that's what having a brother feels like?

[Maybe. With that, he goes back to his basic playing, trying to decide on something to record, something that feels Louis enough without being beyond his abilities. The camera cuts off there, with Wirt seemingly unaware of anything odd about what he's said.]

[She rereads where she's supposed to be a few times, but isn't sure if she should actually voice that part. It probably has nothing to do with whoever's listening.]

But I guess I'm stuck here now.

[Not too happy about that, but if she's gotten through everything in her notebook, she's sure she can manage this.]

So um...it's nice to meet you all. I'm Ryoko Otonashi, the Super High School Level...

[She'll take a second to look it up in her notebook because she doesn't remember. When she looks back at the camera, she seems to be in a slightly better mood about this introduction.]

Oh, that's right! The Super High School Level Analyst. But I usually don't remember that, so you don't have to either.

Specifically, he falls into a patch of flowers in the garden. He quickly panics as he notices the flowers he's inadvertantly crushed.]


Whoops! I- I got this! [With that, he starts to... kiss each crushed flower individually. But with each kiss, there's a sparkling effect, and the flower is restored back to perfect condition.

After a few of those, he freezes up as it finally hits him.]


...Wonderland. I'm back in Wonderland!

[One can find him while he's fixing up those flowers in the garden, or while he's on his way back to the mansion in search of his friends.]

[Video]

[And eventually he'll make contact over the network. He beams at the video feed and speaks.]

Hello, Wonderland? This is Steven... Steven Universe! Remember me? Because I sure remember you! [A confused blink.] Am I supposed to remember you? ...Well, I do anyway! I guess I'm here again. It's... kinda been a few years for me back home, since the time that I was last here. Anyone know how long I've been gone in Wonderland time? What's been happening - solve any more mysteries?

[ Hey, so is there anyone who is trying to sleep late at night? Well... good luck with that because over the device, a loud splashing sound that's immediately followed by a scream could be heard.

Waves ripple across the pool as Sayaka suddenly pops out of the water, gasping for air. Surely this had to be one of the most embarrassing ways to make an entrance, she didn't know what else could possibly top this ridiculous sight. In a panic, she swims to the ladder of the pool and climbs out. It's then she begins to recognize her settings. ]


Huh...? I'm back?

[ There is definitely something strangely familiar about that pool since it wasn't the first time she's accidentally fallen in. There's only one place that would cause her to blackout and randomly fall into a pool. It was Wonderland. Frantically, she looks around and it doesn't take long for her to find what she was looking for, that same portable device she used to contact the network. ]

H-Hello! Um, I apologize if I woke anyone up. [ She pauses, feeling a little embarrassed by how much of a mess she looks right now. Both her hair and clothes are dripping wet and she feels like a dog that just got out of the worst bath ever. It also didn't help that it was late at night and she was beginning to feel terrible about possibly waking others up due to her less than graceful entrance. ]

For anyone that might not know me, I'm Sayaka Maizono the Super High School Level Idol. I've been here before but truth be told I'm not sure how long I've been gone for. Um... [ There's another pause because there's something on her mind that's starting to bug her. ]

If anyone doesn't mind answering questions, is it normal to remember your previous stay here?

[ On the action side of things, you can find Sayaka sitting down on a bench that's nearby the pool, trying to dry herself off and get her bearings together. ]

[Video posts are relatively rare from Wirt, since he gets a little bit nervous about public broadcasting unless he really has something to say. But a lot's changed in the last few days it would seem. Most notably, he's a little bit older, probably in his early twenties or so. He looks a little more grown-up, with his features starting to fill in and define, and his style is a little bit more modern with flannel (and a little less tiny grandpa). He also seems to have discovered what a comb is and how to use it.

When he appears on screen this time, he doesn't have any reservations at all about making a broadcast. He doesn't seem to realize he's different in any way.
]

So...shouldn't something have happened by now? We heard from Alice almost a week ago. ...Wait, was it a week?

[He stops and counts back on his fingers, just to make sure.]

Okay, yeah, almost a week ago. Usually there would be an event already, right? Did we just get spared or something? Things don't seem very...different. But, maybe that's a good thing?

[He shifts his weight, smiling a little.]

Since most of us here are away from our families, we thought it would be fun to celebrate. Tohru and I will set everything up for the fourteenth for everyone to come and make lanterns with us. Then we'll send them down the river.

[A beat.]

Of course, we'll bring food, too.

As much as she hates the idea of doing what the Jabberwocky told her.

From the camera feed, it's obvious she's in the library - shelves behind her, books around her. Her expression is grim as she looks into the camera.]


Was anybody else lucky enough to run into the Jabberwocky during our little trip? Because it was in a rare mood for conversation.

[Not... exactly. But it had more words than she was expecting, given its nature.]

After an overly dramatic display of power, it came with a warning for us. [Regina swallows, shifting in her seat.] It's planning to feed. [A beat.] To feast.

[She's trying not to let on the fact that she's worried, despite the warning she brings. The warning itself will cause enough of a stir, there's no point adding to it more than she already has.]

Which isn't anything new, but at least we know it's coming this time.

[Hahahaha this is still awkward.]

For anyone wondering, that neighborhood and all? That wasn't the real Good Place. I haven't been there, yet. Michael-- he was here for a bit, but I guess he left? --he built it as a place to torture humans in the Bad Place. Specifically me and three of my friends. Well, we weren't friends until we got there-- you get it. [She waves a hand.] Point is, that's...how stuff worked for me. I'm guessing that's not how other afterlifes work, given how different everybody's worlds are and all.

So like...don't worry so much. About your points and all. For one, y'all are probably not as bad as I was in my first chance at life. And for another, the system is kind of bullshit anyway. So just. Y'know. Don't be an asshole.

[It's roughly an hour after Entrapta's announcement that Peridot comes online with her own. By now the rain has started to fall heavily now, and people have had their chance to be angry. Hopefully, Entrapta's fielding some of that. Peridot offered, but... Well, she's glad she doesn't have to yell at everyone.

She's vacated the lab and returned to the barn/room she shares with Lapis. The window and door seem to have been barricaded, though whether that's for the weather or the possibility of an angry mob, we just don't know. In her hand, Peridot has Entrapta's tape recorder, while her own communicator is propped up a few feet away.]


As Entrapta has already informed you, we did contact the Core, and there were some... complications, but that doesn't change our results! Witness this.

[She hits play with a savage "nyeh!" sound and a horrific distorted, almost Zalgo-like sound comes out of it. It's difficult to catch everything because there's a constant loud droning of voices that blend together into nonsense, but occasionally responses can be heard. Under the din, Peridot's own voice is more clear with her questions.

"What is Wonderland's intended purpose and what controls it?"

"S-so what about the Residents? Where do they go when they're not needed? Can you set them free? Have any them actually been unmade? If you need everyone to be together, then what about them? Where do they fit in?"

"What about the Mirrors? Is it because we don't belong here, so you're trying to make something of ours that does belong? Are they part of us or are they part of you?"

By the last question, the voices have become a din that crackles the recording into static. For the most part, there's not much that can be heard from the Core itself except for a litany of voices and occasional words thrown together. TOGETHER, BALANCE, WELCOME HOME, ALWAYS, and WE'VE MISSED YOU seem clearer than others. It's honestly terrifying.]


As I have a perfect memory, I remember the Core's exact responses, though... it was just as hard to understand in person. Most of the answers were nonsense, but it seems to be incredibly focused on all of us being together. There's a moment early on where it starts singing. Here.

[She rewinds the tape until she reaches the beginning where the Core answers her first question, and while the sound is distorted and awful like a music box played underwater, when Peridot joins in to sing along, it becomes much more clear.] Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow...

See? There's a lot of things like that. [She shifts the recorder in her hands.] This is preliminary data, and we may not ever be able to speak to the Core again, but there's one thing I feel absolutely certain of.

[Her voice, as arrogant and proud as it had been, suddenly goes very grave]

I think Wonderland wants us to stay here.

[ooc: the relevant parts of the log the recorder is playing can be found here, though be warned, it is VERY difficult to make out a lot of it from a recording device that was affected heavily by the distortions.]

I've come into possession of... this.

Oh, boy. Guess I'm really doing this...

[He finally stops touching it and pauses, hoping that looks okay (and it does). He really hates making public messages, but takes a deep breath and tries his best.]

Um, hi. I'm...Wirt. Has, uh. ...H-Has anyone actually figured out like, what this event is? Or what we're supposed to be doing? The Dormouse made it sound like we were going to be looking for something, but then Wonderland like...gave me a TV?

[He moves a little bit so everyone can see the portable TV on table behind him. It's bright green, and it has a triangle embedded on the top of it in lieu of any kind of logo.]

It came with instructions, which is kind of suspicious in its own weird way since it came from Wonderland, but it also talks about like, voiding warranties? I-I mean maybe that doesn't really matter since I didn't pay anything, but...what does it mean it's not responsible for psychological damage? D-Did anyone else get anything like this? What am I supposed to...do, exactly?

[Another pause, and then he sighs at his own sad little explanation.]

Normally I'd just ask Dipper, but I can't find him or Mabel anywhere. ...Has anyone seen them, by the way? Like, anywhere?

[That might be the real reason this is turning into a post. He checked all their usual haunts and came up with nothing. All of their stuff is still in their room, but they're nowhere to be found, and he's not really sure how a TV is supposed to help him with that.]

Hello, everyone. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Julia Shumway and I write for Wonderland's Shattered Mirror blog.

[ After a year, she has at least gotten used to saying the word 'blog' without fighting a roll of her eyes. She feels like part of the Wonderland community now, and it's been a while since she felt like her way of doing things was the only right way. At least, for the most part. ]

I'm going to be running a series about people in Wonderland and the different backgrounds we all stem from. My hope is that it will be not only informative, but a way for all of us to find some common ground and relate to each other, and to learn from each other. It will also help keep documentation of people who have come to Wonderland, even after we're sent home.

I've compiled a list of questions to ask you and we can conduct the interviews in person or via text. Participation is entirely voluntary, of course, but if you would be interested in being interviewed for a piece, please respond to this message or contact me privately. I really look forward to speaking with some of you.

Claude, hold the camera steady. [Offscreen, there is a meow. Claude is doing no such thing. The only reason the camera isn’t moving is because the kitten has not decided it’s something to play with yet. Peridot is still satisfied that she’s being heeded and clears her throat.]

Greetings, fellow prisoners of Wonderland. Some of you may be aware that since my arrival I have been seeking to understand the machinations of this place we’re trapped in. Some of you mistakenly believe this is merely a planetoid or a world composed entirely by magic with no other explanation, and you just accept that, which is exactly what the clods in charge what you to think!

But with the latest upset as of two months ago, it’s clear that my theories were right all along. This place you call Wonderland is merely a simulation, and our current bodies are highly detailed computer simulated projections, while our physical bodies are in stasis. I’ve adjusted my theories to allow the inclusion of magic into the nature of this place, but the overall theory remains true. Accompanying this broadcast is an account of some of my findings. I hope you’ll enlighten yourselves, allow yourselves to expand your thinking, and also thank Entrapta for her own growing research into the Core. It’s about time this matter was handled by true geniuses.

[Yeah. Anyway. She pauses dramatically and waits for the camera to turn off, presumably on Claude’s own power, which is asking a lot of a lazy kitten. After a few seconds of her standing there and sweating, she sighs, marches over, and turns it off herself.]

So...um. I've been thinking about it. Does anyone else think it's kind of weird there was a New Year's Party? I-I mean we've had them before, but those were thrown by somebody here. They weren't like, Wonderland parties. Like, time doesn't move here, so does that mean the White Queen counting time? Is there a set like, Wonderland year it's supposed to be now? And isn't starting the new year in January kind of arbitrary for a place where time isn't really real?

[He sighs, and rubs the back of his neck. He can feel himself getting off track.]

Sorry, I just-- time's already way complicated to keep track of here? Like, my birthday's next week and just thinking about the logistics of how that works gives me a headache, and now having Wonderland actually acknowledge a new year...I don't know. I didn't really have a point to this, I guess.

With all of the disappearances as of late, the fact that he'll return within a week is the over-riding thought she has versus sheer panic at the fact that he's gone. She hates what he'll be going through now, all of those years away from her, but unless he moves so far past her that things are unknown to her, at least she knows he survives for twenty years and that they'll be together again.

What she's dreading is telling Brianna, and she has other business to attend to as well. It doesn't seem wise, considering, to announce that her husband is gone so rather than relay that publicly, for now, she keeps her public message strictly about work. ]

[ There is a moment of silence for the fate awaiting Liv, as far as she and those who knew her were aware of before Claire continues. ]

As of today, as far as I know, Mikan has also left Wonderland. It isn't like her to simply not appear at the clinic every morning, so when she didn't I went to her room only to find it empty. I will miss both of these women very much, but it also leaves me as the only physician here actively volunteering my time in the clinic. I know I've made a call to magic users and healers in the past, but with so much coming and going, if you are a doctor by any definition of the term, or if you have magic and don't mind being called upon if your services are greatly needed, I would appreciate it. Thank you all.

CLOSED - CLOSE CR (MINUS BREE); TEXT

[ This is where she messages those she trusts implicitly. ]

Jamie has gone home. His things are still here, so I believe it to be short term. Still, I thought you should know just in case someone else finds the idea of my daughter and I here alone appealing.

CLOSED - BREE; ACTION

[ Claire waits until she can hear Bree in her room getting around to knock on the door. ]

It's me. I was hoping we could speak before you go out for the day.

[There's no particular reason Satoru chose audio over video. Despite how young his voice is, the adult in him is coming through in how tired he sounds.]

I bet I'm not the only one that event was kind of hard for. Even thinking things might have turned out that way makes me want to...

[He trails off without actually saying what it makes him want to do.]

But I'm sure it could have been worse.

[He pauses.]

So...what's the worst event you've been through?

[It takes Wirt a few minutes to set up the video in a way that's kind of comfortable, but eventually he settles on propping it up in a nearby tree facing him. He's gone back to wearing his blue cape, something that he abandoned wearing almost a year ago, but that isn't the most noticeable change.

No, that would be the large pumpkin head he's wearing, carved into a friendly jack-o-lantern. His voice is a little muffled, but he's still clearly understandable.

Isn't this time of year beautiful? I know autumn happens all at once here, and isn't so much about the gradual decay and inevitable demise of all living things, but the leaves are still kind of pretty, right?

[He looks up at the tree above him as much as he can with the pumpkin head on, which isn't much. Then he sighs, heavy with the weight of nostalgia.]

I've been thinking a lot about The Harvest - it's only a few days away now, or it would be if I was still in Pottsfield. It's really a shame that Wonderland prevents anyone from really joining - we are all frozen in place with our woes, no better than Edelwood, never able to truly decompose and rise removed from our troubles.

Sooo... [He reaches just off screen and pulls out a shovel, and holds it gently in his arms.] I thought it might be good to, you know. Have our own Harvest! I mean, we're all a little too soon, but I was too early when I got to Pottsfield and that didn't stop the townspeople from welcoming me to the party. Anyway, uh-- I've been going around burying a bunch of stuff to get ready, and when it's time for the Harvest we can dig them all up! It's not quite the same but, oh well. We do what we can with what we have, or whatever.

[For once, he doesn't seem anxious. If anything, he seems a little too calm.]

So yeah, that's about it. If anyone needs me, I'll be around digging a bunch of holes outside. You're welcome to come help if you want - the more the merrier, right?

[Then he waves, and shuts the feed off there. He'll still respond to people's concerns messages, but he can also be found pretty much anywhere on the grounds, digging deep holes and burying things.]

[The plus side is that Connor doesn't take long to figure out how to use the communicator. The bad thing is that it's clear that he's completely thrown through a loop here. Using his hand to broadcast this, much like when he was figuring out the Jericho clues, he seems to be outside the gates, in front of a large fountain.]

Judging by the look of this place, I think it's safe to say that I'm not in Detroit anymore.

[Unless Detroit parks suddenly got this colorful and a giant mansion appeared.]

I can't seem to locate where I am though. It appears that where ever this is, it's not in my database.

There seems to be some sort of communication here that I've tapped into at the very least, so if there's anyone out there seeing this, any answers would be appreciated.

My name is Connor. I'm the android sent by-- [Wait...] Uh... I work for the DPD. I have no idea how I was brought here to begin with, but something is obviously going on here.

If anyone has seen a hard-boiled eccentric police lieutenant with medium length grey hair that drinks way too much named Hank, let me know. Or maybe even a Saint Bernard dog named Sumo. [Since the last thing he remembers is being at Hank's house.] Thanks.

[With that, he's off to figure out just what's going on. Hopefully he'll find answers somehow soon. Anyone is free to find him roaming around the outside or even the mansion as he makes his way in.

OOC: As I've said in his OOC intro, he's going to be taken from a good ending where he hasn't died and he has become a Deviant. If you're interested in how he'll be played, go ahead and check his application. Otherwise, enjoy some mood music if you so choose.]

[Max is not normally this chatty. Over-compensating for a bad event? Sure.]

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.

Wow I am getting old. *eyeroll*
