[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.)

( there was a sharp gasp amongst the jury, one that the girl attempted to muffle behind her hands. did these people... really dare to talk to the judge like that?! didn't they realize how dangerius the situation was?? )

[waterfell]

[She may have realized the danger, but Mercury had never had much respect for this queen. She had even less now. But the gasp drew her eyes, and she realized it: She recognized the girl in the jury.]

If you want to save yourself [she called out to Mnemosyne] make your own path, too.

[And with that, she gave Kanda a clipped nod, and she was ready. Her sword came to her hand in a flash of light, and she drew it back to begin cutting their pathway open.]

[decaying]

[Kanda spent no time at all to charge towards the queen. Sword drawn, he kicked off from the air just as her soldiers moved to attack him. He was too swift, he landed before the Queen's thrown. Too his surprise, the Queen was trying to get away from him, finding some way out of her thrown to hide behind the incoming guards. Kanda wasn't having any of that.]

Come back here!

[He lunged at her, arm outstretched aiming for her neck as her goonies finally reached them, making quite a mess of the situation. Kanda disappeared underneath all those cards.]

( mnemosyne's eyes widened with surprise at being addressed. make... her own path?? her heart nearly lept out of her chest as the man went for the queen. what was she supposed to do?!

the other members of the jury were quickly making their way to safety, leaving her frozen in the scattering crowds as she chaos ensued all around her. )

[waterfell]

[He was going for the queen?! Mercury gave one quick look towards the remaining cards, then back towards Kanda.

Her best move was keeping his battle free of distractions. She stayed where she was, meeting the guards with her sword and her ice. A few cried out in dismay as they found themselves entirely imprisoned in Mercury's element.

What was that foolish jury girl doing? (Well. It wasn't as if running would save her if they were determined against her. But Mercury saw no reason to pursue her if they made their real goal.)]
