It is the year 2015 AD on a fog laden day during the fall. Stonehenge is a monolith of ancient mystery and history to the people of England and all around the world. Tourists pour in from all corners of the globe to see this historic location… but in the mists of dawn, the light pierces the grayness and soon objects can be seen moving.

A man with frazzled hair and a large top hat directs in a long table and various creatures sneak in. The March Hare is in attendance, as is the Door Mouse and the Cheshire Cat. If you look closely enough a few strange animals waddle in along with the White Rabbit, arms laden with tea cups and pots that clatter noisily in the once silent world.

“We must hurry, yes, hurry!” The Rabbit taps his watch as they all scurry, laughing merrily to set up the table and find any chair they can. Yes, the tea part is starting, but the sun is also rising. Tourists will be coming soon. And to find such a sight?

The Head Librarian has cloaked the Mad Tea Party to seem as no more than a group of unruly teenagers throwing a party and singing drunkenly in Wiltshire, England this day… But even that will not stop them from being arrested for disturbing the peace. The clock is ticking… don’t be late.

Your team will enter through the blue white portal and step out into the damp early hours of the morning… catch them. Bring them back. Do not hurt them. They are simply looking for a bit of fun and the perfect place for tea! Careful… their madness is contagious.

[OOC: This is for Team: Protesting the Mad Tea Party only. You will play out your ‘chaos’ and adventures in collecting the Wonderland citizens and returning them home. This is ONLY for team work and getting things done. If you have questions, you can call for Bob the Skull or The Cat to help you. Bob will be running communications. Once you finish the event (or at the same time if you will), patrons may use this time to use portals to enter Modern day Wiltshire and go shopping in a private log. But not in the team log.]

Update!  To help the event conclude, options are being provided to help organize the groups.  These can be tagged meme style to help give more structure to the tasks.  Current threads can be completed and new ones started. 


Options

1.  Reasoning with Madness.  Maybe the patrons can convince the party goers to find a new place to have tea?

2.  Out of Refreshments!  Now's the time to nab the teapot or the jam and make a break for it!  Maybe the Mad Hatter will be too worried about the china to remember that they were supposed to be having a party.

3.  Don't get Arrested!   Keep the party goers from going to jail!  The police are getting impatient with this group of 'teens'.  Maybe a patron or two can keep them from trying to arrest the citizens of Wonderland?

4.  Clean Up Crew!  The Mad Hatter's parties are always messy.  Make sure that none of the cutlery wanders off and keep the locals from trying one of those interesting Wonderland cakes!

The main hall had been, for lack of a better word, taken over. It shined more than usual and everything was cleared from the floors to make room for the elegant décor of a royal ball. How, no one knows, the invitations were posted throughout the library, inviting all to attend the Ball in honor of the ‘prince’ seeking his future bride.

How or why this came to pass without even a slight questioning, no one even knows. But the feeling, the presence of the restless characters infecting those inhabiting the library is getting stronger. Just like Cinderella can’t stay past midnight, your time is winding down. If you do not return your stowaway personality by midnight…. You may be stuck with the dual personality forever.

The ball is starting soon… how will you arrive? Everyone is invited.

[OOC: This is phase two of the event, a ball thrown by Magnus. You can either have your thread start before the ball starts or during. But it's time to start getting your tag-alongs home. This ends on July 31st. Please enjoy!]

Once upon a time an enchantment crept through the Library, winding through the stacks and slipping amongst the shelves. Those that were touched by this classical magic might find themselves seeing things that they had thought were impossible or finding themselves bursting into song. Some may find themselves wishing for love or adventure, perhaps even both. While others find themselves acting as vagabond or prince.

With the enchantment came a menagerie of flora and fauna, but not to worry. Gardens bloom with fanciful flowers and the darker aisles begin to resemble a forest instead of the more mundane shelves. Strange birds break up the Library's hush and mice scurry from shelf to table, whispering of lost Princesses. These woodland creatures are not to be feared... unless someone has stumbled into the more Grimm areas of the Fiction section. Although the spell is only beginning, the patrons touched by its magic may act strangely or find themselves slightly - or more than slightly - changed by the enchantment.

Remember that this is only be beginning of our Tale. Other wonders and mysteries will soon appear...


((ooc: This post is for to help get the event underway. Players can tag in to start their own mini plots and interact with others. Please treat it like a meme (action or prose depending on the players preferences) tag new people and have fun!))
