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.

[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...?

[aethertect]

[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.

[countermeasures]

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.

[aethertect]

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... ?

[countermeasures]

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?

[aethertect]

[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.

[countermeasures]

He certainly does.

[...she says that a little fondly, though. but - he's right. jiuqing has seen a few other people from the prism here, but encountering people she doesn't recognize... well, it just makes her think of the very first day in the prism.

is someone going to die soon...]

Implications... I take it this isn't your first time finding yourself in an unfamiliar place?
