[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.

false advertising...

[someone is here at the mint julep bar in a part of the park that looks like new orleans, which is a place she has certainly never been to before... she's sipping at a few drinks and she's got a plate of beignets in front of her.

after a moment or two, she sighs.]

There's no alcohol in this...

[she stares sadly at the sign. alas... she was fooled...]

grim grinning ghosts

[now she is standing outside the haunted mansion, squinting at it.]

So is the point of this to go in and get scared...?

[ghosts are no joke!!]

(cantina music)

windmaster @ mmc

[there's a selfie of shi qingxuan on the network at the cantina up at galaxy's edge. there are like ten empty glasses in font of her, and she's toasting the camera with the eleventh.]

i found actual alcohol ! come drink with me !!

wildcard

[if neither of the above works for you hit me with literally anything else i wanna tag with you all!!!]

ghosties

[9mon]

You don't have to be scared! When Yuki goes into places like these he comments on all the outfits and the quality. So you can pick what you're focusing on.

[shiftingwinds]

Outfits?

...are these fashionable ghosts, then?

[9mon]

I have no idea! But with haunted houses, the costumes are really important.

[shiftingwinds]

...is that so? Do you have much experience with haunted houses, young man?

[such a young exorcist... (no)]

[maelstroms]

blackwater @ mmc
no

[shiftingwinds]

theres food here too !

[maelstroms]

[maelstroms]

there's food here too

[shiftingwinds]

yeah but this is a different kind of food
the stuff out there is sugary! this is savory!

false advertising

[zuihitsu]

But it's still super delish, isn't it?

[ sei has her own mocktail. ]</small.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, no, there's not really anything to complain about in regards to the taste... it's just not what I was expecting!

[


she is sipping her mint julep even if she's sad about the lack of alcohol, though]

[zuihitsu]

We can find a place with the good stuff later! They try to keep it contained so the kids can't get to it.

[ or so the drunks can be confined.

she flashes a peace sign. ]

[shiftingwinds]

I guess so... I didn't realize there were so many kids here, though!

[sometimes the mg you were in was 18+ so you literally don't think about kids being around in post-murder stuff]

ghosts!

[callmemeg]

What's so scary about a house? Haunted or no, it's got nothing on the Underworld.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[meg definitely has a point there. the protest of "but ghosts can be scary!" dies on shi qingxuan's lips, because arguably meg knows that better than anyone.]

...I prefer to have a little wine before I deal with ghosts, that's all!

[callmemeg]

Yeah? Then why don't we make like a brand new set of laurels and leave? We can probably find the mouse's favorite wine somewhere around here.

[shiftingwinds]

[she perks up at that!]

You think so? There was a place that called itself a bar earlier, but they didn't have any alcohol at all! I was so disappointed!

[she doesn't seem disappointed now, though, as she links arms with meg to ditch the haunted mansion.]

Grim Grinning Ghosts

[thejkdefense]

Indeed. People like to feel the thrill of getting scared. Perhaps it makes them feel alive.

[November sure seems to be looking up at the mansion as if it's no big deal, yup]

[shiftingwinds]

I see...

[...]

Well... to each their own!

[thejkdefense]

Should I take that as meaning you're not fond of this kind of thrills?

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... well, no, I can't really say I am!

[she fans herself a little and glances nervously at the haunted mansion]

Ghosts can be rather... [her voice trails off.] Well! You know!

grim grinning ghosts

[powerplay]

Heheheh...

Are you easily scared?

[ Do it do it do it do it ]

[shiftingwinds]

...generally, no! I am not!

[this


is a lie]

And I'll prove it. Let's go!

[stomps into the line for haunted mansion... rip]

[powerplay]

Yeah! Let's go!

[ WAHOO!! And now SQX will have to deal with the menace that is Power who clearly does NOT want to wait in line, pretty much ready to vibrate out of her skin at any second now. ]

Move faster!
