[reconnective]

Spring is in the air, or at least it is here. Regardless of where you may have been before, you'll hear the the sound of jaunty music playing ahead of you as you step into the sun.

Welcome...to the happiest place on Earth.

Everywhere around you seems to brighten and reach out to you, the sight of large, colorful structures and flashing lights, the sound of playful music and people laughing, the scent of delicious sweet and savory treats and the sudden weight in your pocket of a cell phone. Opening it, you'll find a special message:

To all who come to this happy place: welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.

Be sure to @ mmc to connect with others as you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.

You will find what appears to be a forum available to you filled with names you may or may not recognize. Try putting a message out there and seeing who responds!

For those of you who are more hands on, the world is your oyster and the park is your playground. The lines to wait for the rides are fairly short, and all around you there's plenty of shops and kiosks for food, drinks, and souvenears. Didn't bring any money? That's alright. It seems that everything is free for today and today only! (And yes, that includes the alcohol at various establishments.)

Unlike the Christmas party some of you may have attended last winter, it seems there isn't any sort of pranking or tomfoolery happening in the park today. There are several lands to explore, along with several other parks and attractions attached. You may not have to kiss someone in order to leave...

...but it does seem as though the gates are locked for the next several hours. On occasion, you may feel a pair of ghostly hands push you forward toward that ride you're hesitating to board or tempting you with a sugary-sweet churro. You may find that taking a loop on It's a Small World will leave the song stuck in your head for several hours while riding something like Space Mountain will leave you feeling more bold than usual. Perhaps a little bit of faith, trust and pixie dust will set you free? Oh well. All you can do now is relax, have fun, and wait for the fireworks spectacular to signal the end of the evening.

[ooc: it's once again mgcu mingle time, but there's a twist! this mingle is open to characters from the following: reapsody, grimmoired, plasmatio, subdivided, thotordie, bluesclues, tropicalgetaway, notagain, redactable, snowend, 7rings, seasonality, chasma, uturns, and chroma!

however. you may also bring special guests in the form of characters you considered playing in previous games or characters you are anticipating playing in the future. have fun mingling with strangers!]

[daifukus]

[ of course tonbo is here. unlike most occasions, he looks incredibly lost by the pair of ears(?) someone has given him. but it seems like everyone else has a pair on so on they go...!

he tilts his head. boing ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[boing...

flayn is staring at the ears(?) or whatever they are.]

...how springy! Where did those come from?

[alitaba]

I
[ meanwhile, you can tell i prewrote this one but you may hear a familiar WEHEHE coming from the tea cups, as a certain rider bulldozes their way around at mach 5. someone is having far too much fun playing irl pinball and bouncing off the other rides if the sheer gremlin energy and occasional screams are anything to go by.
 luckily (?) you've got the choice of just watching this happen because eventually she'll stumble out, ears akimbo and all. ]

Whoa.... there's like six of you.....!


II.
[ or, you'll find her eventually placated by the assortment of food, given her double fist of a churro and a dole whip. you’ll find her contemplating the logistics of eating both before she just sticks the churro in the whip and takes a bite ]

......!!

[refate]

Whoa there, 'taba... [ kon reaches out to grab the gremlin carefully by the shoulders, briefly, before reaching up to fix her ears for her. bless her little heart she's going to crash so hard by the end of the night and get such a great night's sleep. ] You're flying through the park, huh.

[elestra]

[ throughout your time here, everyone will unwillingly and constantly receive photos of a little plushie of someone, enjoying the park!

can these phones take and send images. they don't look like they should be able to. whatever leave me alone. ]

[rindude]

rindragon @ mmc

?????

[that's it, that's the text. what the fuckity.]

[jiaohua]

[me just trying to figure out who would be funniest to tag this with and honestly i think it's the one who has no idea what a phone is

anyway, waner's phone keeps going off with alerts for the new photos and she doesn't know what to do about it.]

What's happening?!

[dms]

i.
[ if you haven't found yourself a cute pair of ears yet, you'll find a set being plopped right on your head! and if you have some already, kazunrai is just going to give you a bright grin and wink! he has a set of his own, of course. ]

Oh emm gee~! The ears suit you! Totes adorbs. We need a selfie to commemorate the moment!

ii.
[ never send someone with a sweet tooth to an amusement park. currently kazu has a couple of bougie mickey-shaped macarons set on the table - but first he snaps one last pic before taking one for himself to bite into, making a happy sound. ]

Go on, have one! I got all the pics I needed already.

iii.
and now... the fireworks! if you're close, he'll loop his arm through yours, but his eyes are sparkling as the show starts, and not just from the light. ]

Whoa... This is really on another level! We're going to have to step up our game back home.

wildcard.
[ anything goes ]

ii.

[brotograph]

[ he's wearing a pair of green minnie ears for mysterious reasons. ]

Yeah? Don't mind if I do...

[ he just going to slide his arm across Kazu's shoulders and kiss him on the mouth to steal a taste that way. ]

Did you get a shot of the cupcakes yet?

[herptile]

I.

[Someone is standing like an awkward duckling in the middle of all this hustle and bustle - a tall man in his 30s, medium-length brown hair pulled back and ending in small braids. There's a noticeable bandage tied over his right forehead, something green and hard poking out on the skin underneath. Overall, he looks like somewhat unkempt nerd what with the suspenders and all. Close your shirt up, slut.]

[He really seems extremely lost here. Someone is new to murder times!!]

Am I...dreaming? What...is all of this? This...isn't the manor...

II.

[Later, the man, Luchino, can be found looking over the mouse ears with continued confusion, looking over one in his hands, which are noticable if for the fact that his nails are somewhat sharp and black, like claws. He'll address whoever is nearby.]

Um, pardon me...what purpose do these ears serve? It seems...odd to me to just emulate some animal, even for entertainment...

[please help him,]

III. wildcard

[someone tell him to button up his shirt i can't live like this anymore]

[assist]

[ hello fellow survivor, how is it hanging. are ya winning ]

It seems to be a part of the theme for this place, isn't it interesting, Mr. Diruse?

[ not really. and yet Brooke Rose, his lovely owl companion, seems to be wearing a tiny set of mouse ears... cute ]

[shinetrue]

i

[ if you've come to ride expedition everest, then you'll find diluc standing in front of it and staring up at the fake mountain, wondering to himself. ]

If Dragonspine had one of these running through it...

ii

[ like many others here, he too is looking at the array of character ears and thinking why. ]

wildcard

[ he doesn't know what a phone is or what any of this is tbh. so feel free to bully him however you'd like! ]

i

[uncoincidental]

It'd be easier to get around for sure!

[she smiles, then tugs on his sleeve.]

Come on, I want to ride it! Maybe we can figure out how to build something like it back home.

[chevaliered]

[ crow armbrust: comes in "seasons" and "chroma" flavours and will adjust accordingly. ]

i.

[ hopefully you're in the mood for something over the top, because crow is scrutinising all these pairs of souvin-ears -- only to grab this pair and pop them on top of his head. ]

What do you think? Too much?

[ yes. it is absolutely too much. ]

ii

[ crow has a dole whip! mostly because i have never had one and really want to try one. but he is here, enjoying his dole whip and watching some of the more adrenaline junkie targetted rides as they zoom past in the distance. ]

I kinda feel like the try challenge here would be to eat everything you want to eat, and then go on one of those without losing it all in the process.

[classmate]

[ share dole whip… ]

… Let’s not?

[ THEY’RE DOING SO WELL NOT HAVING ANYONE GET SICK ON TRIPS maybe damien did BUT DON’T RUIN THEIR STREAK ]

[hungerstrike]

i.

[ she has every food. every food? every single food. she has laid out a picnic in the middle of the grounds with them. with a blanket and everything. where did she get that. why is she doing this instead of just eating as she walks or sitting down at one of the restaurants?

who knows.

but when she sees you she aggressively starts patting the open seat next to her. come have a picnic. in the middle of disneyland. sure!!!! ]

ii.

[ it gets worse! part way through the day, pecorine is working at one of the restaurants! which one? all of them. is she a waitress or a cook? both!!!! ]

What can I get for you today? I've got a long list of recommendations, if you'd like!

[stinky]

a family outing

[well


this asshole is back again! but he brought guzi with him. they're wearing matching hats because this kid really does have him wrapped around his little finger, and qi rong is carrying him around the park.

"Dad! Let's go on the flying elephants next!"]

Alright, alright...

[and he just cuts to the front of the line, because of course he does.

"Dad, that's rude... you have to wait your turn..."

...

chagrined, he heads to the back of the line.]

what's the chinese equivalent of a karen, anyway

[you're in line for food! there's a nice, tasty treat. exactly one left in the batch - it'll be a while before a new batch is made.

qi rong and guzi are right behind you in line. guzi is staring, his eyes wide and sparkling, drooling a little at whatever treat it is. qi rong clears his throat.]

Hey, you're not gonna fuckin' ruin the kid's day, are you? Let us have that.

wildcard

[i don't know why you'd want to text him but you can text him if you want!! or just throw a different prompt at me.]

chinese karen

[thejkdefense]

[You know, it's a funny thing. Had Qi Rong asked any other way, November would have given the treat without any complaints. He's not heartless, after all.

But after Qi Rong's way of asking for it, November stares at him for a moment as if he was giving Qi Rong a chance to word it some other way...and in the end just...]

Adversity builds character.

[Looks like that's a no, he's not giving this treat]

[hashtaghelping]

[there's a horse in this theme park



he is trotting around the counter at one of the candy shops to try and get a candy apple. the employee is understandably flustered.]

[foxweddings]

-- Would you show some common decency and at least pretend to be ashamed of yourself?!

[Like, she at least nodded in apology before stealing her food. Sorta. Might've been more a flirty wink but the fox tried.






I'm so sorry I'm here]

[afterword]

[ wow, disneyland.... the most exciting place on earth and...

a.) Dokja sure is here just on his phone, just standing around doing nothing. wow. very fun. so cool.

or b.) in which he seems to be feeding what looks to be a watermelon-sized white... puffball? it seems to be munching on a churro. it fully inhales one whole. gone in a flash!

but you can also wildcard a text since he's glued to his phone anyways. ]

[supremity]

[ flicks the back of his head while he's looking at his phone

that's it that's the tag, just bully dokja hours ]

[liuli]

its an adults only trip

[ you know how parents complain about disney millenials? how people show up with no kids and just ruin things? one, they're wrong, and two, that would be gu yun at the moment, leaning back in a chair in the epcot area, holding a glass with whatever this is in it, wearing a pair of sunglasses but no disney ears.

he is thriving. living his best life. ]

Apparently, there's a challenge here that you ought to drink around the world. Interested?

[ go do literally anything else you lush ]

alternatively

[ you can find the humble gu zixi at some point with a drink he is absolutely not allowed to have waiting at the end of a ride, leaning on a bannister. if any disney park employee is telling him not to have it, he is simply ignoring it. he's deaf, you see.

catch eye contact, and he winks. ]

[fergalicious]

[ her lovely once upon a fake husband! medb is also one of those people parents complain about.

she holds up her own glowing drink to him. cheers. ]

We'll travel the world in no time together.

[impurities]

I. souvenears...

[ much like everyone and their mother, here, chang geng is investigating the ears. after having an infinity closet in the prism, he seems to be less taken aback by them and more just curious about the variety. he'll sift through them, comparing and putting back a varying number of them, until he settles on two very different aesthetics. ]

These should do... I don't think anyone else would want any. [ he appears to be talking to himself, but it doesn't seem like he has any intention of getting ears for himself, actually. ] Ah, imagining Master Liao Ran in any of these - I'm not sure they'd even stay on his bald head, actually...

II. quiet zone

[ not much for crowds, even now, this pleasant young man has moved to a quieter spot away from too many people. there's a lot of the MGCU here on top of whatever placeholder NPCs that caused minimal lines to even exist.

need somewhere to decompress or leave your stuff as you run into the restrooms or into another ride? here's the person to come to. he offers a smile - more on the polite side for strangers and warmer for familiar faces - to anyone that swings by while he's vibing. ] Having fun so far? I think there's meant to be a parade sometime soon, and the fireworks later.

III. teacup roulette

[ bully cg onto a ride. make him wear ears. text! i am here for all wildcards ]

i

[jiaohua]

[ah, here's someone who... well, she's never met him before, but he is dressed similarly enough to someone from daxing that he stands out among the crowd of All These Other People. (and he bears a resemblance to someone she does know, so like. that just makes him stand out even more.)

it would be rude to just walk up to him and interrupt him while he's browsing... but a chance encounter is fine! and with so many people around, no one could blame her if she happened to stumble into his path.

so she pretends to be browsing, waits until someone passes by, and then stumbles a bit, as if they've just bumped into her - and ends up brushing against his arm as he's talking to himself and looking over his ears.]

—oh! I'm sorry, sir!

[her smile is apologetic, at least, even though she definitely planned that.]

[selfestheim]

what's with this sassy lost child

H-hey!

[ comes a voice in the distance that some people may be familiar with. looking for its source will reveal a young teen who's being accosted by a helpful (?) park guide and a costumed mascot, the latter of whom has put something on his head. at first it seems like he's indignant as he argues with the attendant before he deflates a little. ]

—Okay, yeah, I might be kind of lost, and I am a kid, but—I can take care of myself, and I'm not gonna cause any trouble. Seriously. So I can I just go... please?

as you shoot across the sky

[ at night, find him sitting in a prime viewing location for the fireworks show. he's mostly keeping to himself as the light show starts, but once it does, he...well...lightens up. he might move closer to other people during this time! after a few moments, there's a small smile on his face when he looks up at the sparks and booms. under his breath, to no one in particular, he murmurs, ]

...wish you were here, Mom.

wildcard

( idk come at me i dont remember what im doing )

sassy lost child...

[uncoincidental]

[sheba could just watch this happen. she doesn't actually know hope! ...buuuut, she's enjoying running around on her own, so sure, she'll step into spring him from the watchful eye of this park attendant.

so she sidles right on up and acts like she knows who he is.]

There you are! Come on, the others are over at the churro stand. Aren't you hungry?

[she mouths play along, then looks to the park attendant.]

Thanks for finding him! You can go now.

[perspire]

1;

[ Bertolt is sorting through the shelves of ears, looking through all the different pairs. At his side he has a couple pairs already, but it doesn't seem like enough. He pulls out a pink pair and looks it over, frowning slightly. ]

Maybe?

[ He turns it over to look at more, before setting to the side and goes back to looking. ]

I wish I remembered which ones they already had...

2;

[ Or maybe you catch Bertolt as he is getting off one of the rides. He's wincing and leaning down to rub one of his shins as he walks out the gates. ]

They really don't make these for tall people, do they...?

2

[bloodread]

This is only the time I feel like I should have listened to a sign.

[ Did they see that the ride accommodated up to a certain height and go on anyway? Maaaaybe. ]

[imiko]

[There is an edgy child in all black standing on top of one of the lamp posts, straight as a rail, hands stuffed in both pockets.]

Well, I see humans have now made their own horrendous realm to partake in their materialistic and fickle ways. As if malls weren't enough already.

[Actually... that doesn't sound like a child at all? And upon closer inspection, that's probably a young man who unfortunately can't be any taller than five foot. Sucks to be him.

There are a pair of ears which might be hard to see on his head because of the poof of black hair. Whoever got these on him may be dead now.]

[daggering]

[ you ever just see someone who like

needs bullying

anyway while hiei is muttering to himself, a large raven flies over his head and plucks the ears off of his head. ]

[dependably]

[ of course a sugar-sweet churro will tempt Naib onto a ride, whatever ride it may be, but he doesn't seem to care? he's already eating this churro, thank you.

the Mercenary does look at whoever has been stuck on said ride with him though. ]

... [ holds up a different snack. not the churro, he isn't sharing that one. ] Hungry?

[ who cares if food isn't allowed on rides. we're eating!! ]

[survivor]

[ bitch what if they're on a rollercoaster

anyway they're on indiana jones ]

You're gonna choke.

[vedrskogul]

[ As soon as the bright colours hit, what should be the happiest place on Earth... only brings a deep scowl to this man's face. ]

Absolutely not.

[ Or you can find him resigned in a corner leaning against the wall until this place sets him free, or just sitting staring we the floor, only mildly comically defeated. ]

[disingenuous]

[ he's sitting and staring at the floor, so she can come up to him and put these on him.

to add to his mildly comically defeated look. ]

[hira]

a. a gaggle of russian children at disney world


[ it's exactly what it says on the tin, there is a very tall man in a green smock and apron. he's currently holding the hands of two children as they take him here or there throughout the wonderful world of disney. they will not talk to most strangers, clinging to the tall man legs instead and peering out mistrustfully with park funnel cake powder stuck to their faces. meanwhile, artemy seems pretty chill eating whatever park food he has gotten his hands on and he just lifts up a hand in greeting. ]

Mishka, let me wipe your face so you can say hello to people properly.

[ he reaches down for the tiny girl and gently wipes at her mouth. the blonde boy is wiping at his mouth quickly with his sleeve. ]

b. first aid station

[ did you get hurt running around? get sick on one of the rides and need some tlc? artemy is here wearing a pair of ears and wielding bandages, pills, and painkillers.

he won't embarrass you on one of the rides, but if you come to him with weird injuries: ]

How'd you manage this one, hm?

c. food

[ this is just the food prompt because artemy is a literal bear. he is just cruising around enjoying the food! he will offer what looks to be some kind of powdered beignet at you if you're nearby, silently pushing another into his mouth because he is an Animal. ]

Mmph.

[smokegun]

[ hello fellow children

here is an iris!!!!!! she's comin up to greet artemy first, excited, with an - ] Artie! [ - but then pauses and looks at the other two kiddos. and then, like the sweet little lady she is, she curtsies. ]

Hello, there. May I ask, what are your names? Mine is Iris.

[uncoincidental]

i.

[i'm bored at jury duty so it's time for more toplevels

anyway! here is sheba. she's standing near the entrance to the enchanted tiki room. it's not going to be open for another five minutes or so, so she's contemplating a snack while she waits.

quietly, to whoever's nearby - ]

What's the difference between a "Dole Whip" and a "Dole Whip Float"?

ii.

[meanwhile, in the line for the indiana jones ride...

sheba actually looks pretty fascinated as she's wandering around the queue. she's not even on the ride yet, help.]

The least realistic thing about this is it's too clean in here. [...] And I guess that there aren't any actual traps.

wildcard

[if none of the above works, hit me with anything else!! or text her]

i.

[callalilies]

It's a good thing I got both then!

[ here is kaeya, presenting them forward happily, two spoons in between his fingers. ]

Want to help me find out?

[callalilies]

[ ooc: fit check ]

a. poppin' bottles in the ice like a blizzard

[ where there's free alcohol, there's kaeya with a drink in hand—this time it's what looks to be a frozen margarita with a suitably disney-themed straw. decked out in a new eye patch and wearing a large feline like a ginger stole, he turns around to whoever might be approaching, a second glass in hand. his one glittering left eye, a brilliant blue, sparkles at you, a bit of scarring around the edge pinching as he grins. ]

You're going to need to try one of these. Immediately. Sit, sit.

[ alternatively, he's at the italy pavilion sampling an array of red wines... kaeya haven't you had enough?



somewhere, polaris is wobbling just a little bit. ]

b. it's a small world after all

[ you're trapped in a spinning tea cup with one gremlin cavalry captain who is wearing a pair of festive ears and double fisting a pair of bottles full of wine. there are... teacups? here too? we're having wine in teacups inside of teacups. incredible. ]

Shall we have a drink while we're here?

c. wildcard

[ just come at me. ]

[shinetrue]

I can’t take you anywhere.

[ nina which prompt is this for? yes.

i gagtagged earlier but this one is real. do w/e you want with it! ]
