SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER TEST DRIVE MEME
It's Chinese for 'Japan.'

Prompt A: Serious Event

A memory is displayed. It's yours, the most traumatic of your life whether it was a terrifying clown encounter or the death of someone you love. It's on a loop for everyone to see. You can enter the memory and take your own place, but no matter how hard you try, you cannot alter the outcome. You're forced to try in vain to change what happened or watch until you decide it's too much and walk away. If you can.

Prompt B: Lighter Event

Welcome to Storybrooke.

You've lived in a quiet town in Maine for as long as you can remember. You are a fishmonger or a diner employee, perhaps you work at the hospital. Whatever you do and whoever you are, it's not the real you. You are cursed and you know no other life outside of Storybrooke.

When the curse breaks (either from True Love's Kiss or, in a more TDM friendly, handwaved way), you have two sets of memories: who you were, and who you are. Do you choose to accept all that you were cursed to believe, or would you rather slip back into your old life? The choice is yours.

Prompt C: ediS rorriM

Use this prompt to test out your mirrors. Are they loyal to the new White Queen or do they think she's too good to be true? Do they long to cross over or spend their days tormenting reals? Whatever the scenario, know that the Queen is watching, and let that guide you - or not.

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

Mock Arrival.

[ He's been here for a week and it's infuriating. This is not his castle and on top of the fact, it's overrun by humans - the same kind that betrayed him, destroyed all of his kind. But they also don't seem to fear him, and Goliath can't tell if that's good for him or will, later on, prove to be bad. But beyond that, he doesn't understand what this little device is that keep making noises. He's tried to figure it out but his hands are made for scaling buildings not using intricate objects. Every time he flings the device away it merely appears again. Some sort of sorcery he doesn't understand.

That's what he's doing now, destroying the little thing in his hands while out in the garden and tossing away the pieces with a growl. ]

Inside, random floor random room.

What trickery is this?

[ He's face to face with a closet that continues to give him various books about chess. ]

I am not interested in games, I request to return home!

[ He yells into the closet, trying to step into it and being met with an avalanche of books. There's a lot of gnashing of teeth and hitting the wall in desperation, though he's still determined to find a way home. ]

the roof.

[ Finally, a place where he's comfortable. On the ledge, he can look out over the grounds as the realization that he's stuck in this new land sinks in. He woke after a thousand years only to be transported somewhere else entirely. He would say it isn't fair, but then he isn't one to think like that.

When he hears someone coming, his head cants to the side to determine if the individual is a threat before looking back out at the night sky. ]

The dawn approaches. At least night and day are consistent here in our new home.

[Facilier's largely been skulking around, peering into rooms, trying to scope out the place and the people within it. He's a little surprised to see a gargoyle- not shocked, no, he's seen stranger- but this doesn't seem the usual mansion fair, either.

Great voice, though.

He leans on the doorway, slick but charming smile splitting his lips. ]

Seems you're havin' a little trouble with your closet there. Anythin' I can do to lend a friendly hand?

[ There is no human Goliath trusts yet in this world, and he looks fully at this one, eying him warily. ]

Only if you can tell me how to get back to my castle.

[ He has yet to go through the whole explanation. The last he was aware of, the information didn't come written in pamphlets. ]

[Facilier takes out his cards, shuffling them both for show and out of habit. He has no idea how the hell to get out of here, but he's not about to tell that to anyone. ]

Well, I figure I could probably find a way to point you in the right direction. I can see the future, y'know? Can see yours too, for a price.

[ His demeanor doesn't change, he simply frowns a little deeper now, turning to face this man head on. ]

I have no interest in making deals with humans.

[ The way he says the word is rife with anger, with a thousand year's worth of wanting some sort of revenge still tucked in his heart. ]

[Facilier grins his wide snake-like grin, and the cards seemingly vanish. ]

My, my~ So touchy. Ya'll won't get far 'round here unless you're more willing to accept a helping hand from a human or two, you know. There's a lot of us here. Willin' to help.

[He is categorically not looking to help anyone but himself. ]

[Yeah, the tiny boy in white is totally not a threat.

In fact, he might be a little miffed that a big scary monster stole his roof spot. Not that he'd actually say anything. No, he'd much rather mess around with the guy while he's still unaware of how Wonderland works.]

You say that now, but time works a biiit differently around here. It sometimes takes ages for the sun to come out!

[That was a total lie.]
