1. Sidekick: 1d4 = (1) = 1 [ That was the worst hike ever. A dying forest interlaid with the ever-present wind only he hears, swirling dust devils of pure anxiety, feeding back into him in the worst feedback loop ever. Meanwhile everyone nearby is slowly going mad in different ways. The one good side is he's used to his level of cruelty. Made for it, even. He is a reliable bastion of sanity throughout this whole woodland romp.
Eventually, there's a town. Finally. The stress goes out in one barely-audible sigh before reformatting back to focused annoyance. ]
Alright. What are we here for again?
2. Another stamp for the Wonderous Tails [ The Roland at Speed Square is an asshole. He wants to offer a punch card, really, but they don't have lockers big enough for that prize. You'll have to rent a hotel room for the night!
Yeah? Hell with that. The bear gets abandoned to hand out more punch cards and you, the poor nearest person, get a giant dog stuffed at you. Or what is probably a dog. It is Incredibly Stupid looking. Whatever is the dumbest thing you're thinking about? This is dumber. It let's out a noise that is supposed to be a bark, maybe, you'd hope, but just ends up coming out as BORF! ]
Here. Grand prize. Congratulations.
[ Take it. The circle-dog of stuffed animals calls for you. ]
3. A lapis-framed mirror / cw: lightly flavored cosmic horror [ Of all the various spooky stories floating around Wonderland, only one held to be infallible across the board, to have a dedicated place it appeared in. Halfway through the maze, just past the broken light bulb, is The One Fucked-Up Mirror. It reflects what you can't face, your worst fears, your true self oooooooh spooky. Whatever narrative, that shit didn't work in Persona 4. It won't work here.
Also, because ambient Wonderland-flavored brain-control, he writes it off. It's just a ghost story, in Ghost Square, everyone has one. Instead he'll fix that one lightbulb they're always using as a reference. He's tall, but it's juuust high enough to be annoying, just enough to mean he's too busy to notice The One Fucked-Up Mirror behind him. And... uh.
It's... something that can't be explained well. It has two wings, definitely, bright and clear as molten sunlight, large enough to encompass reality. Or at least it feels like they are. The rest is bits and pieces, tiny scraps that only be parsed one at a time. There's no eyes. Or two many eyes. Are they even eyes? Letters in a language you can't understand burned in old pages, rings and rings and rings of light. A sunrise wrapped around a black hole - watercolors. But you can't name the colors. It's everything and nothing at once. Gant.
It's beautiful. You also can't stare directly at it for more than two seconds before you want to run away at high speeds. Possibly into another mirror. Be careful, kids. Assuming you go for either the Running Into Mirror or Boggle Vacantly In Horror option, he'll actually stop to stare. Wait a few seconds. ......Dude. ]
Ah... You okay?
4. Blah blah wildcards [ We all know how this goes. Message me on discord, pm, plurk, blah blah. Discord will probably be the best way to get me. Just throw an @ at your coat rack mod. In general, he's forgotten Lucretia and will be spending most of his time at the poker tables. Free booze and snacks at the casino, aww yiss. ]
