to lose all my senses —
THAT IS JUST SO TYPICALLY ME
It's not clear how many days it's been since you arrived in Wonderland. With it stuck in perpetual twilight, it could have been days, perhaps longer — everything starts to blur together, in this artificially joyful place. Maybe you've started to feel like you you're getting used to it, maybe not...But eventually, something happens to break the monotony. Your ears begin to ring, and ring, and ring and then — stop. The lights become blinding, forcing you to squeeze your eyes shut and try to rub the afterimage of all that light from them — but when you open your eyes, you still can't see.
The staff don't understand when you ask them what's happened to you. "You've always been like this", they insist. They sign at you, or try to hand you papers written in braille — if you insist you've never signed in your life, or that you can't read braille, they laugh at your funny joke. You begin to wonder — have you always been this way? You were so sure... But everyone around you is equally sure of their truth, and their voices are so much louder.
As if that weren't enough, nothing in the hotel can be found in the same place twice. All the shops keep switching places, once you enter one area it's as though everything shifts in the minutes before you leave again. Getting back to your room is a struggle — where are the elevators? Finding food is nearly impossible — the Pig & Pepper was there, but now it's not. The staff are equally useless here — they have no idea what you mean about moving shops. Where would you want to move to when all your needs are accounted for right here?
What is going on?
SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL — 5/11
The day starts like any other has in the Hotel — unsure if a new day has started at all. Perpetual twilight and lack of clocks makes it difficult to tell time here in the Hotel, but on this particular day, something breaks up the monotony. It begins slowly — or else it happens all at once. Over the course of the day, all Oysters find themselves losing a sense. Staff don't understand their complaints — you've always been like this, they say, gentle, as though to a person in the middle of a break with reality.
Losing your temper won't help, either. Oysters who shout and yell will find staff remaining frustrating calm and compassionate, insisting that they cannot fix what has always been and murmuring about Mad March before taking their leave. Physical aggression may result in a spike of fear, but staff will quickly make their exit and may avoid that Oyster for a while.
If that wasn't enough, nothing in the Hotel is staying put.

IT'S LIKE A MAZE IN HERE — 5/11
The interior of the Hotel has ceased to remain stationary. Beginning at the same time as the loss of senses, the establishments of the Hotel begin to jump around, never staying in the same place twice. An Oyster may have entered the Pool of Tears from the lobby, but exit it into the middle of the casino. The Pig & Pepper Buffet is never in the same place twice, and always seems to move right when Oysters desperately need a meal.
Even as the old shops move, new establishments seem to be being added, but they aren't easy to find — Oysters will see a new sign across the building from where they are, only to see it's moved again by the time they get there. If you take your eyes off an establishment as you head toward it, it disappears and reappears elsewhere. Making it to the new establishments will take some time and dedication (or perhaps plain stubbornness), but there are rewards in it for any Oyster that can manage the feat!

Back To Rights — 5/15
A few days after the effects of the event begin, they just as suddenly end. Sight, hearing, speech — they all return in a rush, possibly overwhelmingly so, and when one tries to make their way to a shop, it stays exactly where it was when they first saw it, and they exit the exact same place they entered. Staff will react much the same way as they did when they were questioned after the loss of senses — you've always been like this.
You made it through, Oysters. You've completed your first event in the Hotel.

We hope you enjoy this first event, Oysters! If you have any questions, please leave them on the first comment to this page. Happy playing!

There is a Queen in the story, but she mostly tries to chop off people's heads.
[ So it's not super helpful. ]
no subject
She's not going to chop off our heads, is she?
no subject
[ Were they supposed to? Fuck if he knows. ]
Why would we let her though???
no subject
[ And the rest is easy to imagine. He's well aware of his current disadvantage. He's learned to rely on his quirk to quickly overpower his enemies. Not having it, will not be detrimental, but it will make it more difficult for him with his fighting style depending so much on it. ]
no subject
[ Katsuki's similarly handicapped but he's also too damn stubborn to believe that will get him killed... ]
It's just another form of training.
no subject
I'll make do.
[ He assures him, intending just that with their lives on the line. ]
I haven't been able to gather much information, but it seems we're not the only ones who were kidnapped. [ He goes into a monologue of what he knows while trying to ignore the varying sounds of the lobby. ] No one seems to know how they got here, but we all woke up in a wooden box without our shoes. [ His toes involuntarily wiggle at the reminder. ] Everyone who had a type of quirk seems to have lost it too
no subject
I really don't get the shoe thing.
[ LiKE ]
What's the point of stealing our shoes??????
[ That's not the important part to focus on here it's just so WEIRD he can't help himself... ]
no subject
[ He answers matter-of-factly. ]
My snow boots provide stable footing when I use my ice.
no subject
[ And it's been a week! ]
no subject
[ You know, like all prisoners. ]
Neither have I.
no subject
[ Hi he hates the layout here right now ]

[ They're in the hotel, and there doesn't seem to be a way out, and everywhere in here is under the thumb of...these idiots, Katsuki guesses. ]
no subject
I'd prefer to seek a way out than to do nothing. I thought you would feel the same way.
no subject
[ Which is fine when you have somewhere to run to or from, but again: he's been checking around and hasn't seen any way out of the hotel proper yet, so it's probably going to require some finesse. Annoyingly enough. ]
no subject
[ He will keep looking, no matter how many dead ends he hits because he's not willing to accept this situation. ]
I don't plan on being a good prisoner.
no subject
That's not even what I'm - ugh, forget it, you're a literal-minded moron.
no subject
Until I can see again, I won't be making a legitimate attempt to escape.
I suggest you do the same in your condition.
no subject
[ Why did Todoroki put it like that. ]
no subject
no subject
[ He's...going to storm off now, Shouto can hear the stomping??? Why. ]
