Summary: A place to list your tears throughout the event, and describe the worlds that can be seen or accessed through them. Event Post.
The Story:

While invisible zombies ravage Wonderland, tears are popping up everywhere! Through them characters can see versions of themselves from alternate universes. Some of them show a different version of Wonderland, some a different version of their home. Some are as benign as a character drinking coffee instead of tea, others are as drastic as somebody's entire personality changed completely.

On day one tears are so small as to barely even be recognisable. Faint voices and melodies can be heard through the tiny cracks if you step really close, but these brief and indistinct glimpses are barely even worth describing.

On day two tears have opened up wide enough to recognise them for what they really are. Yesterday's melodies will sound clearer, and the voices will become decidedly familiar, belonging to people characters know, sounding perhaps even like the characters themselves. Look through the tears and they may catch sight of home, or something that merely looks like another part of Wonderland. The tears are yet narrow and instable though, and the field of vision is correspondingly poor.

On day three the tears have grown a great deal. The worlds beyond them can be seen and heard, though most cannot be interacted with at all. Only the biggest ones are already stable enough for characters to stick their hand inside, and pulls through any objects within reach.

On the fourth and last day some tears have finally become large and stable enough for characters to pass through whole. Not all tears will reach this stage, but those who have can be visited, and the world beyond them explored... at each character's own peril.

My - [ She blinks, eyes widening with realization. What else is there to say, except: ] Can you take me there?

Of course.

[There's no hesitation in his voice, apparent by how quickly he answers.]

It's this way.

[and OFF THEY GO.]

[ She hurries after him, not bothering to contain the mix of excitement and dread that she feels. After all... Highever. It could show a lot of things, some of them very painful - though she doubts Hawke would force that scene on her. ]

Were they - [ Robyn begins, as if unable to wait. ] Did they seem... happy?

[ Maker, if she could go back there. The ache for her lost home is a pain that she feels every day.

He must feel the same. He'd lost Lothering, after all. Because of us. ]

[Had the scene been one of heartbreak, or worse given Thedas, Hawke would have done his best to forget about it and hope Robyn didn't stumble upon it on her own. Her question gives him pause, because they did, but.]

They did. [He glances at her from the corner of his eye. It doesn't seem like his place to talk about it.] I don't know if these windows only show different worlds, or if they can also show the past, but... They looked happy.

[ The Warden nods mutely as they go, reflecting. It may be another universe entirely, but... it would be good to see them all happy again. They were happy, once. Before.

Time ebbs and flows and everyone and everything dies, but knowledge is rarely a comfort. ]


Whatever the case, I would like to see them. [ She reconfirms. ] They may no longer live, but the reminder of... what once was...

[ Might help me. ]

[He knows how that sentence ends. His own look at those he's lost might have ended in something of an emotional breakdown, but it doesn't change the fact that he has proof of a world where Bethany lives.]

I understand. There's one showing Bethany down on the beach. I know what she said while she was here, but seeing it....

[helps.

The tear shines just beyond them, and Hawke nods at it. He'll hang back while Robyn looks through; he's seen some of it already but Robyn deserves some privacy.]

Bethany - [ She breathes, feeling another painful pang. She had been Hawke's sister, and of course they were closer, but Robyn herself had come to feel as if the other woman was a close friend.

Before she vanished like the others. The Warden nods mutely, but before she approaches the tear, she takes one of Hawke's hands in both of her own and squeezes. ]


I know that none of this is easy, or close to it. [ Robyn stresses quietly. ] But... we do have each other. You and me, Cullen and Nathaniel and Anders and Leliana. No one has to experience... any of this alone.

[ With that, she offers a fleeting smile before approaching the tear. ]

[Hawke covers Robyn's hands with his other, a small smile on his face. Whatever differences there are between all of them, and they're from Thedas so there's bound to be some, he knows they have each others backs.]

We can't forget our Mabari, either. [#FereldanPride] But you're right. As long as you don't forget it either.

[While she approaches the tear, Hawke leans against the wall to wait.]

Of course. [ #never4get ] ... Well then -

[ She steels herself before approaching the tear. Robyn peers into it, and though the window is too small to pass through, she can see well enough. The Warden watches, expression softening into mingled longing and warmth, as her family (herself included) enjoys each other's company. It's no specific memory that she can recall, but it could have been any given dinner held at Highever. There are plenty of faces she recognizes and others that she doesn't, but everyone seems to be having a good time, laughing and smiling and chatting away.

Distantly, she remembers that these are meant to be "what-ifs," that this isn't a real event from her life, but... it's close enough. ]


Thank you for showing me this. [ Robyn says earnestly, returning to Hawke after some time. ] ... I would have hated to miss the opportunity to see it.

[ However "unreal" it may be. ]

[With a nod, Hawke lets Robyn approach the tear. He has no intention of intruding on her moment, more than he already has, so he leans against the wall and checks the network over on his device. Standard Wonderland fare, but it's enough to pass the time.

His smile brightens when Robyn returns.]


Of course. For all the terrible Wonderland brings, even now with the rest of this event, sometimes it isn't so bad.

[Though they both know that sometimes being given a vision of home isn't the best thing, considering what they've lost, what they will lose...]

How was it?
heroica: (you can call me anything you want)

[personal profile] heroica 2017-06-12 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It was - more than I could have asked for. [ She replies, the earnestness of it visible in her eyes. ] Just to see them again, after so long... even if it isn't real, I'm so grateful that I could think of them, be reminded of my life there in such a... vivid way.

[ Maybe she'll be able to do that again, somehow. Or maybe she'll never again be so lucky. ]
