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.

[SO MUCH IS HAPPENING and the taiko performers didn't ask for any of it, help. Unfortunately for them, no one else realizes this is not part of the show, and Yasusada is happy to perform,,]

[countermeasures]

[at least he's having fun]

[aitou]

Su-sensei, you should dance too!

[DON'T TEACH HER KEMONO]

[countermeasures]

[she laughs]

But you do it so well! It's fun to watch.

[aitou]

[He laughs, but he looks happy!!]

I'm glad! It's a little strange when it's not on a big stage with everyone, but it's still fun.

[countermeasures]

...would it be less strange if I did dance with you, then? It wouldn't be with "everyone," but...

[maybe it would be less strange than dancing alone?]

[aitou]

Hmmm... I'm not sure, but we can try it?

[It's probably not really any less strange since he has to teach her the moves, but he doesn't mind doing that if she does want to join in.]

[countermeasures]

...all right, then! Let's give it a try.

[rip to these poor taiko drummers who now have to deal with two dancers.]

[aitou]

[They really just have to deal with this. Terrible.]

Okay! So, first--well, first we usually have the fire, but I guess we can't do that here. So, first, take off your coat!

[Is she wearing a coat? Whatever she's wearing probably has an outer layer, close enough.]

[countermeasures]

[her outfit today does in fact include an outer layer!

...so, off it goes. she's still plenty covered up, though.]

What next?

[aitou]

[Hilariously there is one sword whose stripping song outfit is like more covered up than his first outfits--but Yasusada doesn't know him yet so he blinks, brow furrowing as he tries to decide if this counts??

...

Eh it's probably fine.]

Okay, then--ah, we don't have light sticks either... [THIS IS HARDER THAN HE EXPECTED.] Well, that's okay, we can pretend without them. Then you say, one, two, three four five! We are counting just like this!

[This is why we joke that swords can't count past five]

[countermeasures]

Hmm, that's easy enough to remember...

[she won't have to count very high, at least!]

One, two, three four five! We are counting just like this!

[aitou]

Right!

[why does he sound impressed]

Okay, then--Hi, Fu, Mi Yo Itsu! We are dancing just like this!

[They're not dancing yet but that's okay]

[countermeasures]

How are we supposed to dance when we sing that part?

[there... has to be some sort of dance step to go with it, she thinks.]

[aitou]

Oh--well, this is the very beginning, so we're usually just coming out on the stage and you can do whatever you want. Like...

[He takes a few steps back and then just. Does a backflip like it's nothing.]

Or you could jump, or spin... but once we start dancing, it goes like this--

[And he will start to demonstrate some of these moves! Fortunately despite the fact that this song starts with stripping, they're pretty simple moves that are not particularly scandalous.]

[countermeasures]

[


wait, sorry, she's stuck on him just doing a backflip out of nowhere.]

...I've seen you do that before, but it's so impressive every time! Could you teach me how?

[aitou]

Eh? Oh, the flip? Sure, it's easy. [It's not he's just a cheating sword] Put your arms out like this, and bend your knees, and then...

[He does it again!]

[countermeasures]

...

[that explains nothing.]

I feel like if I try that, I'm just going to fall over.
