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.

[we're going to say he's tall but not. twenty feet. because that would be alarming even in disneyland. let's go with nine feet. large boy, with a mask and hood and robes, wandering the park with a bemused little smile on his face.

you can find him crouched next to the entrance to the teacups, gently knocking his knuckles thoughtfully against his cheek.]

This is... supposed to be for amusement, correct?

[OR, he's staring up at a sign in galaxy's edge with a pretzel.]

Ah, so this is what this star believes to be beyond their grasp. Alarming, to say the least. Star Wars? [why not star peace]

[i can't remember if jiuqing saw hyth in a memshare or not but his height reminds her of emet, so, she's stopping by the teacups]

Yes, I believe so. It looks like you spin around while sitting inside them...?

[it's hard to tell, but he is wrinkling his nose under the mask.]

Not entirely sure that sounds fascinating enough for me to try. [...] Though I suppose my size would not allow for it, regardless.

It's certainly a little less exciting than some of the other things I've seen here... although I must admit it has a certain whimsical charm.

[giant teacups...]

Perhaps we could find something that would be easier for you to try? And a little more fun, too.

Whimsical and frankly, quite nauseating. [but he sounds amused.]

I should hope there is something I can enjoy. Perhaps if I can find who I am looking for, he can adjust my size.

Oh - my apologies, I am being terribly rude - my name is Hythlodaeus. It is a pleasure, miss... ?

Su Jiuqing. It's a pleasure to meet you too, Sir Hythlodaeus.

[...hmm.

well, maybe she should not be judging by height alone, but...]

By any chance, are you acquainted with Emet-Selch?

[what just because he's tall means he knows all the ancients?

no, he just laughs a little.]

Ah, yes. I suppose you have met him - he does tend to make quite the first impression. [...] Though that does have concerning implications.

(no subject)

Given their nature, 'tis hardly surprising.

[he says with a huff, arms folded.]

Hythlodaeus, what are you doing here?

[he gives him an amused look.]

I could ask the same of you, you know. [head tilt.]

As if I would come here by choice.

[he rolls his eyes, at that. disney is very not his speed.]

But I suppose at least the both of us were pulled away, this time.

I suppose. [...] Though I would prefer for this not to be like the last time I was pulled in.

...as would I.

[but he's watching hythlodaeus with marked concern, now.]

It has happened to you before, as well?

[NiNE fEEt okay bucko here's a five foot lady with three tails and fox ears, though she is just as bemused by the sight of the teacups, watching the ride with a hand on her hip]

Iiiiiiif I might chance a guess, I think the purpose is to flood your system with so much adrenaline that you expel the lunch out of your stomach.

[No hunny that's a roller coaster--]

And people... find this fun? [he sounds. baffled.]

Do you find this fun?

I've never tried, but frankly it sounds horrific.

Plus do you not see my garment? As if I'd willingly let a perfectly good kimono get dirty in the name of silly fun!

It is a beautiful outfit.

[it's a little revealing in his opinion but he also is wearing a mask, hood and long robes that cover everything, so maybe don't listen to him. a little head tilt.]

You are rather well-spoken for a familiar.

[She will return to the questionable fashion sense later, as for now--]

I haven't the faintest what you mean.

[ while hyth is squatting down, someone comes up and leans an elbow on his shoulder since he's crouched down, peering at the teacups and sounding amused. ]

What, not amusing enough for you?

Not quite.

[hello, tiny man.] I'm not sure I find the idea of spinning wildly without control to be any sort of entertaining.

Oh, come on, it's fun. Far as I observed, there's a little wheel in the middle, so you get to decide how fast they go.

[ is this how the teacups work? this is where i tell you i have not ridden a teacup ride since i was like five because they make me super sick

vax however does not care about this. ] Might be fun.

[i have no idea how teacups work i refuse to get on it because i too, will yartz if i am put upon them]

Hm. [he does not look convinced.] By all means, you are welcome to test it. I will observe. In the name of scientific measures.

[ shakes your hand ]

Fun as that sounds... looks like it's the sort of thing you're supposed to have a partner for.

[ c'moooooon hyth you know you want to. he grins. ] Friend of yours made it sound like you're supposed to be the fun one, you know.

[What’s hilarious is the fact that he is simply the same height as Hythlodaeus while standing on top of one of the lamp posts like an edgelord. That’s how short he is in comparison.

He’s like barely five foot.

He has his hands in his pockets, but is also looking up at the signage.]

Humans would make an exaggeration out of their ignorance. It’s unsurprising.

[get down from the fuckin lamp post hello]

I suppose. [he sounds vaguely amused.] And is that not what you are?

[NO, HE WON'T. He is a Royce kind of young man, so he will continue to be small and mean and stand on tall things.

He seems offended by this with the way he huffs and turns his nose up. WOW.]

Are you? [(flurry voice) sniff] No. I'm a demon.
