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.

[ooc: it's once again mgcu mingle time, but there's a twist! this mingle is open to characters from the following: [community profile] reapsody, [community profile] grimmoired, [community profile] plasmatio, [community profile] subdivided, [community profile] thotordie, [community profile] bluesclues, [community profile] tropicalgetaway, [community profile] notagain, [community profile] redactable, [community profile] snowend, [community profile] 7rings, [community profile] seasonality, [community profile] chasma, [community profile] uturns, and [community profile] chroma!

he's so dry, but she can't help but giggle]


Thank you, Hiei-san.

[SHOVING HIS HANDS INTO HIS POCKETS AND LOOKING AWAY.]

Don’t thank me just yet until we know what exactly is going on.
thawedheart: (congrats you get an ACTUAL SMILE)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-04-30 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[they're going to feel very silly being so suspicious of everything once the fireworks go off and they can just go home]

All right.

...I'll be sure to thank you at that time.

[ :) ]

No need.

[This is said so half-assembly and without venom.

UGH… Can’t believe he has to cutely watch fireworks with his sister at the end only to hear her say thank you for the thousandth time.

He glances at her and then yet again looks away at the other ears.]


You know, in the Human World, this is called shoplifting.
thawedheart: (covers mouth)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-04-30 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, she could pay for it, but that would involve very strategically crying a single tear, and she doesn't really want to.



but that is concerning.]


Oh, dear. Perhaps we should leave a... what did they call it... An "I.O.U."?
imiko: (pic#15640937)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-04-30 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[NO!

No. There will be NO tears here, not a single one. He refuses to allow her tears to pay tribute for this rat conglomerate.]


So we shall. There are a lot of us here, but I see no workers. I doubt it will matter.

Was there anyone else in the motel other than you and the rest?
thawedheart: (not quite decapitation)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-04-30 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...there was an innkeeper.

[but she's not seeing anyone here who looks like a murdergame npc...

is that promising? she hopes it's promising.]
imiko: (pic#15640939)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-01 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He has not either—aside from potentially running into whatever mouse this place worships—even though he has not been in any murdergames (yet).]

I see. What did they do?
thawedheart: (peek-a-boo i see you)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-02 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
He oversaw our stay at the motel.

[technically not incorrect...]
imiko: (pic#15640918)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-02 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
A warden then.

[HE JUST IMMEDIATELY PEGS CRAFTLY FOR SOME KIND OF JAILER WITH ILL INTENTIONS. This is simply a thing you do automatically being someone from the Demon World.]

An accomplice?
thawedheart: (more doubt)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-02 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...I suppose so. But he was trapped there as well, although perhaps in a different sense than the rest of us were.

[years later and yukina still stans craftly]

[
emily :handshake: yukina
stanning craftly

He crosses his arms. Which is a funny image because he's, like, 4'10" and wearing a pair of mouse ears.]


His hand was forced?
thawedheart: (big sigh)

ratshakes gmail until notifs come out

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-03 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[she nods]

He was bound to that place, and required to follow certain rules and perform certain duties. He was subject to physical pain if he tried to warn us of certain things or say more than we were meant to know, as well.
imiko: (pic#15640927)

gmail says no

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-03 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
A referee. Like the tournaments.

[At least, that's what he can liken it to best. Someone who is required to adhere to certain duties and follow strict rules for a "game" to be... well, fair isn't the best word for an adventure in murder, but it's fine.

The silver lining is he doesn't feel like he needs to rip Craftly's arms off for Yukina's sake.]


He was good to you.

[It's not posed as a question, but it is sort of a question.]
thawedheart: (no hiruiseki here kthnx)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-03 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, something like that.

[it's an apt comparison, she thinks.

...at his second question, she nods.]


He was. He tried to help us as best he could, under the circumstances. I... appreciated that quite a lot.
imiko: (pic#15640937)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-04 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Very well. This being lives to see another day. I GUESS Craftly would have grown on Hiei, too, a little if he had been there. Tch.]

Perhaps we should be on the look out for someone like him then. Who knows which one of the others that could be when a portion of them all stink. [He means he can sense a handful of lil weirdos like himself running around.] We should, in theory, be fine.

I have my powers and my senses.
thawedheart: (obligatory backshot)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-05 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I have mine, as well.

[...]

...which is different from last time. So, that bodes well, I think.

[but it also means that people who just didn't have powers at all are in more danger, if those who have them decide to get violent...]
imiko: (yyhlove_icons152)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-05 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm. He HATES ever learning more all the time. Nerfed powers? He also hates the idea of that too, wtf.]

They were taken from you?
thawedheart: (dramatic shadows oooOOOOooOOOOooo)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-05 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

...they're back now, though.

[so. it's fine?

it was sort of nice not being able to cry jewels.]
imiko: (pic#15641817)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-06 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Is it? :l

Well, like, maybe in her case.]


I guess we can be a little less concerned then.
thawedheart: (congrats you get an ACTUAL SMILE)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-06 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm reassured that we have the means to defend ourselves, should it come to that.

[she smiles.]

...but I hope that we won't need to.

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-06 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I can handle whatever happens.

[It sounds like he still hasn't learned not be so cocky and over-confident despite some of his few Ls. Funny. But he kind of says it in a way that's meant to be reassuring to her.

If something happens, he'll deal with it so she won't have to. "She was literally in a game of murder." HE WILL DEAL WITH IT.]


Even if you wander off on your own, I'm sure you can find a way to reach me.

[Just don't blow anything like that GOD FORSAKEN whistle. Then again, when is he ever out of earshot when he's keeping an eye on things???]
thawedheart: (i won't be able to use this after week 2)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-07 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I know you can.

[she sounds very sure of that, actually. she is reassured! hiei is a reassuring presence to her, because sure, he can be gruff and rough around the edges, but...

well.

she thinks by now she's learned to identify the subtle ways that he shows he cares. the fact that he hasn't just tch'd at her and left is a good sign.]


We'll be fine. Whatever this is, we'll make it through it together.
imiko: (pic#15640916)

[personal profile] imiko 2022-05-10 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Imagine being one of the very few who can get away with things without dying or being maimed. Wow.]

Well, you don't require any words of encouragement from me seeing as how you have apparently already been transplanted elsewhere before.

[He actually sounds very slightly amused in that gremlin way even if he hates the idea. Of her dimension--kidnapped?]

The ears suit you. Let's go see how well we "fit in."
thawedheart: (tee hee or w/e)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2022-05-11 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...I suppose if we're attempting to "fit in," we ought to join one of those lines?

[she gestures at the line for the nearest ride



which i'm just going to say is space mountain because please put hiei on a roller coaster. does this make sense given they were just buying ears? not in the least but this is a meme we do what we want.]
