THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
Does anything in this hotel ever stay put? Those who go looking for the gym, the hotel spa, or the nightclub are out of luck one day, as they're simply no longer there. The hallways themselves go topsy-turvy, only staying put when one looks directly at them. For those who've been here long enough to have seen the last time the hotel shifted like this and remember how unhelpful the hotel staff were โย it seems little there has changed. The only difference is the manner in which they are useless. They will acknowledge the shifting hallways, of course, and even provide direction back to the lobby, but profess they are much too busy to provide an escort.
Eventually, the hallways settle. Gone are The Caucus-Race, the Pearls Within, and the Rabbit Hole in favor of new amenities. Where once there was a gym, there's now an indoor playground. The nightclub has been replaced with an arcade, and the spa is now a massive movie theater. Were there always quite so many kids items on the restaurant menus? When did This Elegant Thimble get such a large children's section?
If asked, the hotel staff will shrug. Some will insist things have been this way for as long as they've been working there. Others will state that, like their wonderful Queen, the hotel will always know what's needed for any occasion and make suitable preparations.
EVENT FIVE
As it turns out, the kids the hotel is preparing for are none other than the Oysters themselves! Beginning on the 11th and lasting through the 23rd, characters may wake up as their younger selves. They will have no memories of the hotel or of the events of their canon after their age point, and hotel staff will treat them as though they are brand new to the hotel. Players can choose what age they would like to have their characters as, from small children to teenagers! This can occur at any point during the event and can last for the duration, or can end after a few days depending on player preference. Characters will wake up back to their usual selves, and will remember everything that occurred while they were younger.
The arcade will have the standard games one might expect, as well as some with a Wonderland twist. Their version of whack-a-mole may prove a little more difficult than expected, with the the grinning striped "moles" vanishing and reappearing intermittently, and skee-ball is made more interesting when the balls have minds of their own and occasionally get up and walk away. Characters can win tickets from the games, which can be traded in for small prizes such as invisible ink, bouncy balls, water pistols, and small stuffed animals.
The movie theater will show primarily kids movies during the day, action and romantic comedies in the later afternoon, and horror movies in the evening and late hours. Perfect for date night, wouldn't you agree? Anyone under the age of 15 will not be allowed in to see the horror movies without an adult with them โ unless, of course, they sneak in on their own.
Characters who are not de-aging, or who are currently older teenagers, can also choose to help out in the daycare! Those who pay attention will notice that there's more children than expected, many of whom do not have an Oyster mark. If asked, the hotel staff will be reluctant to answer questions about them, and will only say that the Queen is very generous to her subjects and has always provided free daycare for them. The children themselves will be more forthcoming about their lives and experiences, particularly if approached by characters close to their age. Hotel staff may also be more inclined to answer some questions from characters who have been de-aged.
The exception to this is characters who were prominent in causing distractions during the last event. Hotel staff will not allow them in the daycare if they are themselves, and will need a lot of convincing to accept them as a daycare attendee if they've been de-aged. They can, of course, opt to attempt to sneak into the playground anyway. Characters who are barred from the playground and sneak in run the risk of getting caught โ fortunately, the only consequence of this will be further irritation from the hotel staff, along with being escorted out.
There are no sign-ups for this, but there will be a prompt on the event post for characters to ask questions and get answers!

There can be stuffed rabbits/dolls!

1) If he keeps the toys when he returns to be an adult, will the toys remain with him after the event or they just sadly poof into thin air?
2) Is the arcade a coin-type machine? Like he needs to get game coins from staff to insert to start playing a game?
3) What kind of movies the movie theater will show? Are they contemporary modern movies from Earth or movies made by the wonderland natives? Like any movie made from 1990s to present. I was thinking of having him watch a romantic or Disney-type fairy-tale movies, for example. It's most likely he'll watch the cartoon movies, but I'm not sure what the wonderland-type cartoon movies and stories are all about, but perhaps fairy tales with princess and prince type? Also if they sneak into the movie theatre for the horror movie and get caught, I assume a staff will usher them out? But assuming for the horror movies, are they like about ghosts or witches or slasher-type?
4) In the daycare, the NPC children without the oyster mark, are they Wonderland children belonging to the staff or from the guest outside like the traveling merchants from the other event?child!Wangji will ask them generic questions like what's your mom and dad are like, and where do you live, and what is outside of hotel wonderland is like? That sort of questions
no subject
2.) The arcade games are coin insert, and he can get coins either from the staff or from one of the various coin dispensers stationed throughout the arcade.
3.) Players are free to assume they can find any type of movie playing! Ones that could be found on modern day Earth, ones from any of their canons, or even movies about old folktales or traditional stories that might have been told where they were from. The only thing they will not find is any version of Alice in Wonderland, or anything that appears to be set in Wonderland itself.
4.) The hotel staff will be very reluctant to provide any further identifying information about the children in their care! The other questions are the kinds of things that characters can ask and have answered on the event post prompt. In this case, as Lan Wangji participated in the distractions last month, he will be included among those who will need to either sneak into the playground or have some help convincing the staff to allow him in.
