to lose all my senses —

[happyheartsstaff]

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!

Lan Wangji only smiles and chuckles, though silent and unseen. It was quiet and he enjoys seeing Wei Wuxian being so at peace with him, sleeping on him.

He reaches out and strokes his ponytail to indicate that he doesn't mind. The arm continues to stay linked and he even squeezed his arm, indicating that he does indeed would like that, to go swimming with him.

Eventually, when Wei Wuxian has enough, he's going to gently guide him out of the pool and towards to one of the low chairs to dry and bask in the sun.

Wei Wuxian lets himself be helped up and moved over to the chairs. He might actually fall asleep in a chair but that's okay too. Nothing wrong with a midday nap. He actually finds it a little reminiscent of when he was blindfolded and just resting in the trees. This isn't that much different from being blindfolded..except he can't just take it off.

He settles down into the chair and relaxes.

If Lan Wangji only has his guqin with him, this seems to be a nice time to play a slow song to lull their minds and serenade him, especially on an afternoon like this one. Except for his sword and his instrument is not with him and his power is sealed too.

Sitting on the chair next to him, by his side as he sleeps and taking a rest, he'll simply bask in the sun and meditation as if he's meditating on a beach, focusing on his own energy and connect to his golden core.

[scaredofdogs]

Wei Wuxian does doze off since the pool area is pretty quiet overall and Lan Wangji can't make any noise. So he's oddly content to enjoy the silence. Exploring is too much work when you can't see anything and there is only so much he can say that can be easy for Lan Wangji to answer.

"mm..if I sleep Lan Zhan..don't let me sleep too long.." He knows he shouldn't sleep in strange places and it's not the same as laying out under the stars on someone's roof.

His partner may not be able to see anything, but Lan Wangji reaches out and strokes through his ponytail, then eventually rubs his shoulders and back in a soothing, relaxing manner. His touch and stroke are gentle.

He won't let anything happen to him while being on watch. For now, he is content staying with him while he relaxes and does his meditation. With Wei Wuxian drifting off, he doesn't wake up him, and eventually, he may have drifted off in a light trance during his meditation.
