You're like an angel with no wings.
Prompt A: Serious Event
In each trip a character makes from their room, they will have one random encounter with a monster (or monsters) that will attack them. Fight, team up with others, run away if you think you can, but there are monsters. Everywhere.
Prompt B: Lighter Event
The mansion is gone and now we're all camping! Women on one side of the camp and men on the other with a large picnic area in between. It's like summer camp except there are no counselors. You are in charge of making your own food and fun. If you wander too far out in the woods, you'll just get lost and wind up at the campsite again. Make s'mores! Tell spooky stories! Have fun!
Prompt C: ediS rorriM
Peace has been restored to the mirror side with the White Queen ruling, but she does have a request: get to know one another, dear mirrors. She's hosting a 1990s dance party and you're all invited. Jam out to Spice Girls and mingle.
Prompt D: Choices
Any scenario goes! Thread out your character's arrival, have them act like a long-established resident, let our past events inspire your scene, or write up literally any Wonderland-based scenario you feel like playing with.
Rules
Test drive memes go up every other month. Please note that any threads made as part of the test drive meme don't count towards your activity check, and they can't be used as samples for any future applications. Thank you for understanding, and have fun!

Wait, sorry, are you suggesting we hand out gift baskets? To people who have just been kidnapped, thrown across multiple dimensions, and stranded in an enchanted mansion that is, uh, legitimately trying to kill them pretty regularly?
[ Her mouth falls open for a second as she debates how savagely she wants to lambaste this ridiculous notion until it occurs to her that, well: ]
Actually, in the grand scheme of things, that's... Probably not a terrible idea.
video;
[ She understands the value, for sure, in making sure people are well informed, but it would have been nice to lead with free cookies and clothes and any kind of food you can imagine. ]
video;
Wonderland tends to come on pretty strong. Speaking of which, I'm Chloe. And no offense, but you kind of sounded like my kid when it comes to cauliflower.
video;
[ Leslie is all for kids being healthy, and she will adamantly argue against a 120-ounce soda fountain drink, but vegetables when you can just take vitamins in gummy bear form? Who actually needs to choke down a plant? ]
And it's officially nice to meet you, Chloe! Have you been in Wonderland long?
video;
[ Or the most manipulative, anyway.
She might not have got her smarts from her dad, but she definitely got that. ]
Uh... About a year and a half now? So yeah, you could say pretty long. It's a hell of an adjustment.
video;
[ She's had better luck with kids in politics than some adults in Pawnee. ]
That...is an incredibly long time. But it's an important thing to tell people! No one should have facts left out to make being here seem better, but also part of being here is an amazing garden and an ocean with a party boat! That stuff counts, too.
video;
[ Chloe doesn't do party boats, though. She's not that fun. Or fun at all, really. ]
So what, are you some kind of politician?
no subject
[ Of course, most of that democracy is getting the municipal building to validate parking but still! It's something, and every day she's a part of it. ]
I have to listen to angry citizens all the time for having new ideas. Whenever people, what I hear is people caring loudly at me. So, whatever people wanna throw at me here, I say bring it on.
no subject
[ Sorry she doesn't sound too impressed, Leslie, it's just that...
She's not too impressed. ]
You said Indiana, right? [ You see, Chloe assumes this bizarre little woman from some podunk town in a crappy flyover state has just fallen off the turnip truck, and thus, makes a horrible mistake.
She underestimates Leslie Knope. ]
I'm not sure you're really prepared for what's happening here.
no subject
Did she?
Is she????
Wow. Okay. All of these internal thoughts play across Leslie's face before she recovers, her voice a high-pitched version of itself with a very plastered on smile. ]
What exactly are you implying?
no subject
[ She didn't mean to be rude, although that is clearly the way that it came out. Maybe this will serve as a reminder as to why Chloe has such a hard time making friends. ]
Listen, I'm a homicide detective back home, and I've seen some crazy - I mean crazy - freaking stuff and even I wasn't prepared for the things that happen here.
[ To be fair, her boyfriend is literally Satan so she's not being that dramatic. ]
no subject
Granted, I've only mourned the loss of one valued member of our society and he was a mini-horse, but I assure you, my confidence in trying to push a little positivity into this place isn't me also trying to ignore the terrible things that everyone made sure to tell me happen here. If that's all anyone has to look forward to, then what's the point? Of getting up in the mornings, of doing things in between, of trying to be the best people we can while dealing with flying demons?
[ Maybe a werewolf will eat her face off, who knows! But she's choosing not to dwell on it. ]
no subject
She considers all of this, but there's one point she's still stuck on. ]
Sorry, was the, uh... Was the pony murdered?
[ Jesus Christ, Chloe. ]
no subject
Who would murder a defenseless...[ Wait, go back. ] A miniature horse is not a pony, have some respect for the dead! What are you, a monster?
[ To be fair, everyone in Pawnee is over the moon for this stupid horse. ]
Look, ma'am, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the men but especially women who step in to help people in positions that can sometimes be thankless, and my job is one of those positions. So, forgive me, if I want to try and make this place a little better instead of a depressing death trap. I would think a police detective who sees the worst of the worst would understand.
no subject
[ Part of her understands that she just majorly fucked up but the other part of her honestly has no idea what is going on anymore.
Chloe isn't sure she buys that being a director with a parks department is really has any equality to being a police detective in Los Angeles, but she manages to choke a quip down about that. Mostly because, given the judgments Chloe has made? This lady is kind of scary, all things considered. ]
No, you're right. You're... totally right. I'm sure the po- miniature horse was an important part of your community and I'm... sorry for your loss. [ She manages to keep a straight face. Maybe she isn't that bad of an actress after all. ] I have seen the worst of the worst at home, and here. I guess I get a little caught up in that sometimes. I think that your, uh, passion for wanting to bring something positive into this place is very admirable.
no subject
[ So, anyone is welcome to think she's too passionate or too enthusiastic. She's just Leslie Knope, and she refuses to give in to the attitude most people here seem to have. ]
no subject
Granted, Ella had been growing on her. ]
Well, I guess it might be your job to bring something positive to it, then.
[ She is trying to be a little encouraging and nice now, at least. She doesn't mean it in a bad way at all.
Even Chloe can admit a little more nice around here wouldn't hurt. ]
no subject
[ And already, she's thinking about that and what it could mean. Ideas are formulating. ]
If that becomes my job, then I accept.
no subject
Great. Well, uh, you know. Good luck.
no subject
no subject
[ This place will either eat this woman alive or she'll be running it in a week. ]
