The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen.

On Monday, in front of a crowd filled with Mirrors and Reals, the ground opened up beneath the Queen of Hearts and swallowed her up into a bright light. In her place, the White Queen, long thought dead, was restored through the boxes of donated memories. Anywhere else, the war that's been brewing for months would be the big story of the day, but Wonderland has never been anywhere else, and the much-touted war turned out to be a chess game. The Red Queen beat the Queen of Hearts, she took it poorly, and then the real story started.


Before her resurrection, the White Queen was the sister about which we knew the least... )

[As usual, Georgia leaves copies of the article close to several mirrors, and leaves hers uncovered in case anyone wants to talk about it. They deserve to be informed about their monarch.]

[For those that know Seth, he's looking much better than he has for months. Pulled together, all sharp creases and straight lines. There's no dark circles under his eyes and he doesn't seem to have a glass in front of him. At least for now.

He also looks bitterly amused.]


A guy goes out into the woods for one freaking week to try and get his head on straight and you all go nuts. Nice to see that much as some things change, everything else just remains the same.

With a week or so of sobering up and learning my paranoia apparently has jackshit to do with my diet of scotch and whiskey, I had a thought that came to me and if I have to live with these thoughts, so do the rest of you.

How do we know that everyone that vanishes goes home? I mean, what if some of those that are positive about serial killers and criminals in our midst... [Hello, pot? This is the kettle.] ... what if they're right and someone's bumping people off and we just assume they're being sent home like so many others?

After that thought, not sure if sobriety will pay off but we'll see how long it lasts.

{Locked to Chloe}

How are you?

{Locked to Maggie}

Where are you? Are you okay?

Good afternoon, my darlings.

That last event was a rough one for a lot of people, and I know some of us are also bracing for what comes next. I'll be in the kitchen for the next four hours, and I'll take requests the whole time I'm there. I think we could all use a little comfort food, or some distraction.

Requests don't necessarily have to be culinary in nature. I'd be delighted to improvise a poem or tell you a story. An off-the-cuff Scheherazade, with bonus cookies.

Come keep me company for awhile.

[Of course, certain people don't have a choice in the matter. She has conchas baking for Seth, cookies for Wirt, all her teammates' favorites, and so on. Friends and acquaintances who fail to show up may well find Maggie at their doors afterward with a plate in hand.

Even a few people who might not expect it, if she's ever had reason to worry about them.

Maggie is going to start climbing the walls if she doesn't find meaningful ways to fill up her days here. This takes care of one day.]

[Red doesn't address the network much, if at all, but considering there's a war coming on, and he has some experience with the back room sorts of things that wars bring about, he figures now's the time.]

Wars are nasty business. One side always trying to one up the other. One side always trying to physically dominate the other. There's been a lot of talk of training and military combat, which is all well and good, but it's not the only thing that's needed to win in a conflict like the one headed our way.

Back home, I specialized in gathering, and more importantly using, information against an opposing side. Sometimes that's much more effective when one sits down to cut a deal. You know where the other side is coming from and what the other side wants. Gathering the information is where things can get hairy. One often has to be willing to bend the rules a bit to get anything of value.

I'd be willing to offer any help I can, if we can actually sit down and talk to the other side.

[The other implication is, he'd love to meet others who'd be wiling to get that valuable information.]

Hey.

[Mazikeen is spinning a wickedly curved blade in her hand, reclining in one of the tea-room chairs like it's her own personal throne.]

I hear there's a war coming. I hope some of these Mirrors provide at least something of a challenge.

[But her hopes aren't high. She hasn't been in Wonderland very long and already she's bored. Nothing's tried to kill her in the entire week she's been here. How's a girl supposed to have a good time?]

Anyway, thought I'd offer my services. You want to get prepared for the war? Come to me. I'll beat you up. [A beat.] I mean train you. Whatever. Once you learn pain you'll be prepared for anything these Mirrors have to offer.

[Becks hasn't used, or even really looked at, the network much since she's been here. That in itself is kind of out of sorts, because usually that would have been the first place she went, and probably where she spent a large sum of her time. Reading over backlogs and the like, to see what she could glean from the masses about this place.

But....

Waking up from death does a lot to mix up your priorities. Imagine that.

The... Event had not be great for her. She kind of lost herself to a lot of things going on in her head, things that bugged her, bothered her in a down-to-her-bones kind of way that she hated immensely. She wasn't what a person could call weak, but god, she felt it lately.

Still does, even now, as she pieces together this post. Hidden behind a wall of anonymity that would have Georgia giving her, her best 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed' face if she knew she was making it this way.

Normally, Rebecca had no problem signing her name to anything and everything she ever wrote, or said, in any manner or fashion. But this... this was a little easier to do with that step outside of herself.]


Not gonna lie. I'm a little ashamed of myself for doing this, at least...doing it the way that I am. It's not really me, to hide behind a mask, but...I don't think I could do this without it right now, so...here I am.

Here's my question for the Wonderland masses:

How many of you can say this place is a second chance on borrowed time?

I know I can't be the only one who died back home. I don't know about the rest of you, but I know I feel like being here completely steals away everything I stood for, everything I died for.

I died for a purpose. With a purpose. It was the right decision for everything that was going on. My death meant my people survived, and the people that deserved it would be getting the information we needed to share. I was okay with it. At peace with it.

And then I woke up here.

And it was all ripped away from me.

I don't know how to cope with it. I really don't. And that bugs me, a lot, because I'm totally the 'get up and push on' kinda person, so feeling this lost and stuck is weird and new and I hate it. And I want to fix it.

Or at the very least, commiserate with people that maybe can understand this feeling on a personal level.

[Hey look it's Freya Mikaelson! And for once, she's not drunk on the network! It's an April miracle.

But no really, she's sober and on the network and being all business like because this is a business related thing! She's sitting in the magic library, ]


So with the departure of Billy Kaplan, maintenance of the Magic Library and Training Room has passed to me. With the war coming, I thought it was best to remind the magic users of the castle that it exists, and is here for all your research and practice needs. There's also a fairly hearty stock of spell supplies as well.

[She would have had this announcement made sooner, but she was in the process of cataloging everything so that she knew what was there for when people started asking her.]

I also have been practicing witch craft for a very long time, and spend most of my time here, so if you have any questions or are looking for something specific, please feel free to ask. I promise you, I likely need the distraction.

[And then, to wrap up:]

The library is on the first floor, room twenty four. Anything else, you know where to find me.

[And with that, Freya out.]
