[World Exploration] Wonderland

[passingmod]

Who: Everyone! Open to All. World inhabitants can be npc'd as needed.
What: World Exploration : Suggestion Info here
When: all through November and beyond
Where: Locations in comments, or add your own.

There are whole new worlds out there. Some people know this already, some are learning it for the first time. Tonight, it's a world of mystery where nothing seems to work entirely by normal logic and everything familiar from waking life can become different. Flowers have a temper and may not like being picked, animals wear dapper clothes, and all of them talk. Some of them are helpful.

Whether flitting around the edges of this world at the Rabbit Hole or the Entryway, caught up in the Mad Hatter's tea party, taken to the Castle of the Queen of Hearts, the Croquet Ground, or somewhere entirely different, it's Wonderland. Be careful: The signs shouldn't always be obeyed.

(Notes: This is a log to keep together threads exploring Wonderland. Relevant threads can also be made as separate posts throughout the rest of the month or beyond. Mostly, this is an experiment to see how a mass log will work for world exploring. As usual with OPN, it is entirely optional and creative liberty is fine and encouraged while working within the setting. Feel free to use the location notes as prompts, but also feel free to do something else entirely. More world suggestions always accepted here.)

Rabbit Hole

[passingmod]

The entryway to Wonderland, crawling through the rabbit hole will provide a way in - but may not provide an equally easy way out, especially if you fall.

Why did all of these weird things keep happening?! First she was chasing that thing Madoka had found and now she was falling? This wasn't another one of those 'witch barriers' was it? There didn't seem to be any enemies about, the surreality of it all couldn't be denied.

"What the heck is going on?!" Sayaka half-shouted.

Suddenly, Homura was there, her hand reaching to close around Sayaka's.

The strange passageway was reminiscent of a witch's barrier, which meant not only was there possibly a witch, but Sayaka would be another liability, likely to get in the way, or to make a foolish contract.

Homura wasn't planning to let that happen.

"Hold on to me," she told Sayaka. "I will find a way to slow our fall."

[lamentoso]

"You again?!" Why did this girl keep showing up at all the wrong times?! Now that she knew about them -- the Witches and their barriers, it was a little less of a shock, but disturbing all the same. And there was certainly no way this girl was the same as Mami-san...

"Just how do you plan on making that happen?!"

[braidstobows]

There were reasons for Sayaka's mistrust; but now was not the time. Homura did not explain. Instead, she showed Sayaka precisely what she meant. Glimmering wings, like a vision more than the real thing, sprang from her back, controlling their speed and their fall. It was harder, holding on to another person, but she gritted her teeth without complaint.

[Kanda had been following a rabbit. Why? He didn't know, probably that big clock on it got his attention and clearly things that didn't make sense always were the things to follow in dreams. Right? When he heard a voice he turned his head to see a kid.]

Don't tell me you followed the rabbit too....

[lamentoso]

Rabbit?! ( is that what this guy was calling that thing that looked like kyuubey? well, she supposed she could understand his way of thinking... ) Nevermind that now, how the heck are we supposed to stop falling?! Who knows how long this tunnel goes on for!
