[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.

[ 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. ]

[vedrskogul]

[ You're such a creature. The way his head just snaps up. ]

You. [ GRABS AT HIS HEAD? And looks at this floral... headband... with bizarre discs. ] What in the hells is this?

[disingenuous]

[ she isn't this much of a bully usually. There's just something about a 6.5' adult acting like a 16yo teenager who doesn't want to socialize that makes her want to be a little mean. ]

Something to add to your cuteness.

[vedrskogul]

[ A flat noise of clear dissension. Also listen... idk why all the men I play are so big. The streak will be broken when I play like, Hawks I guess. He never learned how to have fun, be nice. ]

You could put forth the effort to come off as remotely genuine.

[ Aka, he knows you don't think he has a milligram of 'cuteness'. Just be honest and say you wanted to mess with him, you menace. ]

[disingenuous]

[ she laughs a little. ]

I think you have your own charm, and your general personality isn't cute, but your reactions can be.

[ is that better?

this is true. he can be soft and good, and those are the better parts of him that roxana likes. ]

[vedrskogul]

[ It is better, but it isn't ideal for Estinien, so he only makes a grunt sound that's pretty much the equivalent of 'whatever...'. He genuinely doesn't understand the notion of being considered cute. ]

I take it you're enjoying yourself.

[disingenuous]

[ does roxana care what's ideal for him? when was the last time roxana knew what fun was? it's a mystery. ]

I am taking advantage of my time here. Did you leave Aymeric behind somewhere?

[vedrskogul]

[ Great, they both don't know how to have fun! They're so sad. ]

Not willingly, but if you're here and so am I, then I would wager the chance that he's also inexplicably here should be... high.

[ ...Well, so far, no signs of anything dangerous, so that's probably fine. ]

He'll enjoy himself better than I would, I think.

[disingenuous]

[ Roxana knows how to fake having fun very well, and she is still expecting Disneyworland to turn into murder prism 2 any moment. ]

He is that sort, but I'd assume you two would try to enjoy it together.

[ it's called HAVE FUN ON A DATE, STUPID. ]

[vedrskogul]

[ Estinien doesn't know how, so that's why he gets made fun of more. But also yeah +1 to expecting this place to turn into murderville 2 at any second, so he doesn't exactly want to have fun. ]

If I find him, that is.

[ Worry not since if he does, which he eventually probably will in a handwavey sense because Hei is on vacation, it will be complaints turned into light date. ]

But you'll simply have to forgive me for not being inclined after what we all had just gone through for two moons.

[disingenuous]

It is because of what we've suffered for two months that you should be more open to new experiences.

[ such as having fun. ]

Would you escort me until you find him?

[vedrskogul]

I think I have had quite enough of 'new experiences', so to speak!

[ He says, raising his brows. Roxana doesn't really know it but he has been through SO MUCH actually, he really doesn't need anymore new experiences... I say, while looking at the latest XIV patch and being tired. ]

What, intending on paying me for acting as your guard?

[ He'll probably get up and accompany her anyway but he has to nag. ]
