[ ♥ ] Human Chess (2018) The so-called war turned out to be another game of human chess, the Queen of Hearts versus the Red Queen. The Queen of Hearts drafted sixteen of her subjects to fight as her chess pieces, whereas the Red Queen graciously asked for volunteers to fight for her. All of Wonderland, Real and Mirror alike, came to watch the battle. At the entrance to the stands was one more donation box, the third to appear in an event this way, and it asked for Reals and Mirrors to donate the word “floccinaucinihilpilification” to a good cause - and who would need a worthless word like that anyway? Alice had been much more lucid since her eyes were returned to her, and since then she mostly hid from the Queen of Hearts’ inevitable wrath. During this chess war she stayed beneath the bleachers and there she ran into the Treacle Trio and the Tweedles. There was quite a bit of bickering between her and the Trio (or more specifically Tillie), because Alice did not believe they had been trapped in a well of treacle for years and Tillie did not like how everyone in Wonderland seemed to fawn over Alice. This bickering turned into a scrappy fight until the Tweedles separated them. The battle was long and hard, and many pieces were captured, but ultimately the Red Queen won the game and thus the war. The Queen of Hearts was furious and humiliated, and insistent that her sister was taking her things from her. After a heated exchange and several hurt feelings, Wonderland punished the Queen of Hearts by opening a hole of white light beneath her platform and swallowing her whole. Seemingly in exchange, the long missing and presumed dead White Queen appeared in a dazzling flash as the donation boxes all shook and imploded. With a promise that there will be nothing to fear from the Mirror Side of Wonderland, she assumed (or resumed) her place as monarch of Mirror Side. The Red Queen was stunned by this development, as well as the appearance of her late sister and the loss of their middlest sister, but agreed to the White Queen’s terms and retreated with the Vorpal Sword and Shield, and more questions than she had answers for. The White Queen later made a proclamation and answered many questions. She also offered protection to Alice, and in exchange Alice agreed to be her royal adviser. [ ♣ ] Ewaymas (2018) This Ewaymas, a great number of people suddenly appeared in Wonderland, dozens of new arrivals among all of the decorations! However, there were also a large number of glitches in the holiday decorations, to the point where entire rooms would glitch into old holiday scenes. The White Queen certainly hadn’t meant for this to happen, but decided to continue celebrations anyway. This concerned Alice a bit, since she was temporarily Queen once and made similar mistakes back then, but the White Queen sent her to look out and make sure all was well. However, very abruptly, all was not well. Wonderland split itself into three voids, mostly connected by the holiday memories that rooms had begun to glitch into. There was the white void, which was filled with bright white light and allowed those floating within it to summon items (as though they were standing inside one of the mansion’s many closets). The Tweedles described it to many, even with static voices, as an “in-between” place, and Alice mostly panicked about Wonderland breaking at the seams. There was the grey void, which was full of swirling fog, and also had a bright ball of light passing through it like a tumbleweed. It was warm and full of life, but anyone who came within ten feet of it would lose a memory - much like when witnessing the Core. The final void, a black one speckled with far-off stars, was mostly empty, but the longer a person stayed there the more they would get the sense that something was coming for them, until they began to see and hear things that were not there. The Dormouse took a moment to explain that even if this was the end, if he and the others were unmade, they would still exist and Wonderland would find some purpose for them. Then, abruptly, Wonderland pulled itself back together, fully restored! Unfortunately all of the temporary guests were sent back to their homes and the decorations were put away. However, there was one remaining sign of what had happened - the White Queen had all color completely drained from her, leaving her only black and gray. She addressed the network afterward, apologizing for what had occurred and promising a New Year’s Eve Ball to make up for it, and looking so incredibly tired. [ ♦ ] Chalk it to Me (2019) After everything that happened over the holidays, Alice decided she wanted to try and do something nice for everyone in Wonderland, especially as winter abruptly became Spring. With the White Queen’s blessing and a little of her magic, she gave everyone on Real and Mirror Side magic chalk to play with. Anything drawn with the chalk would come to life, and any landscape drawn could be jumped into. Anyone with chalk could use it to change their appearance as well, along with any other creative use they could think of for it. It was just a quiet little moment, a reprieve - a chance for Alice to be Alice and not Alice the Adviser, and for anyone who want to to come say hello. She even invited the Mirrors to come play, allowing them to mingle on Real Side for once. Wonderland eventually ended the fun with a rare rain storm, which washed away all of the chalk creations at once. However, anyone who was given chalk was allowed to keep it, and the chalk retained all of its magical properties for future uses.
