Welcome to the EWAY TDM!
Prompt A: Serious Event
Hellhounds are coming for a visit! For the first day of the event, residents will hear crazy howling coming from the direction of the forest, but it's off in the distance. If anyone investigates, they won't be able to find the source of the howling.
On the morning of the second day, the hounds approach the mansion. They are invisible, only able to be seen by demons, but they can certainly be heard by their growls, snarls, and barking. They aren't the most delicate of beasts, so there will be plenty of broken furniture and doors as they charge around inside the Mansion.
Hellhounds take no prisoners. They attack viciously and woe betide those who end up in the same room as one. A death by hellhound is nasty and probably slightly traumatizing, if remembered. Here is what one would expect when a hellhound comes near.
There are defenses against them: lining plenty of salt along doorways and windows, or even standing in a circle of it can keep them at bay. They can also be blown to high heaven, if one can rig up a bomb big enough. Barring a door very well can also help, but hellhounds are strong and tenacious, so they'll eventually break it down. They just won't stop once they have someone's scent.
Prompt B: Lighter Event
This event is bringing movies to life! For each character, there will be one movie represented in the mansion in some way. This will most likely be either a setting change (where part of the setting just shows up on the grounds or inside), the sudden appearance of creatures or animals (because everyone needs velociraptors running around), or the general themes of the movie affecting the population (like some mysterious American Pie rooms on the second floor that make people want to lose their virginity
How do you decide which movie your character would bring to the mansion? Well, one of two ways. The first is that if your character is from a canon where they would have watched movies, then you would pick something that they have seen. Movies that only exist in their canon are 100% okay to inflict on the mansion. The second is that if your character is from the past/a mystical magical movieless land/just doesn't care about movies, then you're free to pick any movie you want to add to the mix. Movies that they have seen in the mansion are also okay to use, if you would prefer.
For the characters who are film buffs, big fans of a movie, or just plain watch too many movies, this event will go one step further. These characters will think that they are actually a part of whatever movie the mansion brought to the event on their behalf. They will take on one of the character roles from this movie and thoroughly believe that they are really this character. Being plucked out of their movie will not phase them too much – they will be trying to stick to the general plot of their movie as much as possible. They will gain or lose abilities based on who they think they are (someone from Star Wars might be able to use a lightsaber, but if they were a wizard before they wouldn't be able to use their wand for this event), and their personality will change accordingly, but there will still be traces of who they really are underneath. Little details that don't quite match, like certain phobias or their annoying habit of whistling too much. Of course, their friends who don't have any interest at all in movies will be thoroughly confused and probably try to snap them out of their craziness, but that most likely won't be easy. They're busy! They have to go blow up the Death Star! Or find their son Nemo! Or stop the aliens from stealing all their women and gold!
Prompt C: ediS rorriM
The mirror side is Queen-less. Or so it appears. How do the mirrors cope with this new turn events, what do they do? What does it mean to be a mirror? Feel free to have your mirrors contemplate it together, or reach out to their real counterparts by writing on mirrors to communicate.
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.

no subject
He tilts his head to the side thoughtfully]
You will forgive me, Captain. I am unfamiliar with that vessel.
no subject
[He doesn't explain whether he means the ship or the science officer]
Who has my ship where you're from?
no subject
James T. Kirk. I think you would be proud of how he has led us. [He watches a little warily. He's just assuming Kirk is okay and in Starfleet in Pike's reality]
I don't know what I'd do without Memory Alpha
Command's been throwing his name around since he was a cadet. They see a pretty bright future for him. Last I heard he was on the Republic.
[He finally makes it to, and unlocks the door to his room,. Everything's decorated like it was on Discovery, warm tones, large table, a desk, and plenty of comfortable seating]
I guess some things are consistent universe to universe.
I know right? Bless online resources
In some ways. [He wonders now if this is how Jim felt when speaking to a Spock from another timeline: wanting to know what had changed, what remained the same]
Captain. Forgive me, but... have you had a recent opportunity to speak with my parents?
no subject
Ambassador Sarek was aboard the Discovery when I arrived, though we didn't have that much time to talk. I heard both he and Amanda attended the commendation ceremony for the crew of Discovery after the end of the war. He seems to be doing well.
[He gestures toward the comfortable looking furniture part of the room.]
Have a seat. Drink? [He's nothing if not polite.]
no subject
No, thank you. I just need a moment. I did not realize how much changed in my timeline.
no subject
I take it you haven't spoken to either of them recently?
[Which in and of itself isn't too odd, since Spock didn't tell either of his parents about his current sabbatical in his universe.]
no subject
no subject
Do I want to know what happened to the ship...or is it better than I don't?
no subject
[Except he’s already said a lot by mentioning Pike becomes an admiral and is injured. Oops]
no subject
[He's going to take that answer as, it's better he not know, and smiles around the rim of his glass.]
That bad, huh?
no subject
The worst already happened when a ship from the future appeared in Federation space. It permanently changed the events in my timeline, which could be why I am unfamiliar with this Discovery you mentioned.
no subject
She's a good ship, but she isn't the Enterprise.
