Come little children,
I'll take you away
Into a land of enchantment.
Come little children,
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows...


The date is September 2010, Months after the supposed "Fall" of the world was supposed to happen as Japanese Cultists of Nyx predicted. As expected, it didn't come to pass; though the world would never know how close it was to doing so, and what had to be sacrificed to prevent it.

However, another bizarre crisis hits the capital of the United Kingdom. As of early April, Children with ages ranged between 4 and 12, on the stroke of Midnight are falling into a deep sleep from which they don't seem to ever wake up from. In one night, 6 children fall into this coma, in another night 7, then 8. Because this only seems to affect said children, the doctors are calling it the "Pied Piper Phenomenon" or "P3 Syndrome". Physically, these children are fine with the exceptions of a few and have no real reason, mental or otherwise, to fall under this coma. While most are well enough and alive in this coma, there have been a record of a rare few children who have sadly died while in this coma. As a result, a new level of fear and worry comes over the families of these children.

However, naturally, they only see and believe what's on the physical plain. What's happening is something within the Ethereal Plain, the plain of dreams. Within the world of Dreams, a mysterious white rabbit, who seems to take the form of both a human boy and girl on occasions, have entered into their dreams and led them through a window to another land, a window known as the "Looking Glass". The land it leads to was an amazing place of fantasy, a land of wonders beyond one's dreams or comprehension. But once they enter through the looking glass to this wonderland, they could never leave it. However, the White Rabbit seems to have vanished from his role as Pied Piper of these children, leaving other creatures to take his place.

Months of this happening has made it a point to have no one really come with their children to London anymore, and those who were born in London were immediately moved out to protect them from this epidemic. Needless to say it worked...temporarily. But as the number of children claimed grows, the range from which the creatures can claim them grew with it. At this rate, no child will be safe no matter where he or she is.

As said before, the P3 Syndrome seems to only affect children of ages 4-12. As such, no teenagers or adults seem to be effected and are safe from it ultimately. London is still a place to go for people without any young children of their own. Because of this, Politicians in this capital city aren't too worried about it-minus the fact of needing to address it-and are in fact covering it up from the world as best as possible to not cause any unnecessary searches from countries like America.

However, things are about to strike as unusual when an exception to the rules so far happens. For a group of teens, and maybe even some adult, on the stroke of midnight, shall be pulled from their sleep by strange invisible force, through the looking glass into the Wonderland beyond, and their ultimate destiny shall begin.

-----------------------

Disclaimer: Yes, this is a Persona RP. However for any fans of the series, know that there is no Calendar System or Social simulation this time. Instead, this is more akin to an adventure RP rather than the Modern-fantasy slice of life you've come to know. In that respect, you could say that it's more like the Persona 1 and the 2 duology, being more of a standard dungeon crawler than anything else. The Pacing of this RP will be treated as such, and will not be as slow as the usual Persona RP formula.

The Social Links ARE still existent however, as characters interact with one another. But it'll work a bit differently compared to the games, so as to keep with the RP's general pace. Despite being the Wild Card, the Social Links do not necessarily have to be developed, grown, and completed by Alice herself. (Except the Alice Social Link and the Mad Hatter Social Link, as the latter is an "Auto-Link" that will develop itself as the story progresses.) Instead, they are your characters' arcs, and can be developed simply by growing as characters and interacting with each other. Alice's role as the Wild Card, this time, is simply to help on that end. Alice will gain the usual reward upon those social links becoming completed, but so too shall the respective character of that link be rewarded as well for the progress of their social links, likely with new abilities they are able to perform, ala Persona 5's Confidant Abilities.

Let me also state that, although it had a similar theme with this, albeit it only in the existence of Rei and the first dungeon, I would like to stress that this has NOTHING to do with Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, nor, if it happens to be released during this RP, Persona Q2. The concept for this RP was originally made before Persona Q came out, the fact that this RP involves Wonderland, and Persona Q having a Wonderland Dungeon in it, is purely coincidental. As such, there will be no mention of its godly antagonist, no mention of Zeus, no mention of the Alternate Yasogami of that game, and no mention of Rei or Zen.

Furthermore, Other than the mention of Kirijo Group by name, there will be no characters from any of the games in the series, save for Igor himself.

We are however borrowing Persona 5's Light and dark spells, "Kou" and "Ei", to replace the Hama and Mudo spells respectively. Light and Darkness are no longer Insta-death spells therefore, instead they're simply damaging spells like any other.

For everyone else who has no knowledge of Persona but finds this RP interesting: This here is essentially an Adventure RP through a naturally chaotic Wonderland, but one that focuses on Character development as a priority. As you develop yourself and your bonds with your friends, you will gain more power for yourself as we journey Wonderland.

For the sake of everyone's convenience: We will be using the Persona 5 Skillset. The list for it being Here.
