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.

Sounds like pretty great parents then. And yeah. There's no way I could ever do that.

[ another detour to their detour, but he's not opposed to it. closing his eyes as he returns the kiss, letting it linger a bit longer as he puts his hand over kazu's chest. maybe because his heart was mentioned and maybe because he wants to just feel the rhythm. ]

Forever and ever. [ he'll put his forehead against kazu's. ] Even with the distance, I'll always be yours.

[dms]

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to have them! And you.

[ he smiles into the kiss ]

And I'll always be yours, as long as you want me. [ a soft laugh. ] Forever and ever.

[ I FORGOT TO HIT SEND ]

[brotograph]

Hey, we have a draw with that for the time being.

[ stepping back while he grabs his hand. bringing it up to press a kiss against his the back of his hand. ]

Looks like neither of us are going anywhere then. Love you.

[dms]

I know, but it's true!

[ kazu still thinks it might be nice if they didn't have to worry about the whole being-from-different-worlds thing, but anyway. ]

Love you, too, babe. [ one more quick kiss for the road. ] ...Now let's go get that pic!

[brotograph]

Just like how it's true for me, too.

[ don't worry, he'll be seeing a lot more of prompto in a couple weeks ]

Onward to pics and rides! [ they are probably almost there anyways even with the detours ]

[dms]

We can settle the details after pics and rides.

[ listen. he won't complain even if it's because of crystal vore. prompom deserves support in those trying times. ]

So where do you want to start, anyway? There's tons of things we can do with the castle in the BG!

[brotograph]

[ settling his arm around him again as he looks around ]

Let's start with the normal selfie before trying something more. Think maybe in the middle or closer to the castle?

[dms]

Mm... Let's see how much of the castle we can get in the shot first! It'd be a shame if you couldn't see it, you know?

[brotograph]

True! Alright, let's try that. Let's start by the statue of the guy and the mouse!

[dms]

[ to the statue! ]

The big guy himself! Think they'd like the ears we found?

[brotograph]

Totally! Might even be jealous they can't get something cute like this.

[ to the statue. thankfully they don't have to worry about foot traffic ruining the shot. he let's go of kazu as they approach the statue, pulling out his camera to get a shot of it first. then he'll mess around with it, watching the screen instead of where he's going as he flips through filters and fiddles with the zoom ]

We can set up a timer if we want a wider shot.

[dms]

I dunno, Mickey's the OG! Don't we all just wish we were that cute?

[ a true photog at work... ]

Don't trip while you're setting up. [ hehe ] Did you bring a tripod? Or maybe we could set something up. An improvised rig!

[brotograph]

[ chocobos are better ]

Makes me think of moogles actually!

[ not the ffxiv ones ]

That's where you come in! Be my eyes, baby. [ or get him to walk into things. he'll keep trusting you if you do ] Might need an improvised rig. Left mine with Noct. [ and his hammerspace ] We could set it up on one of the bushes?

[dms]

What's a moogle?

Can do! [ i can't guarantee that kazu wouldn't let him walk into something, but maybe not the boyfriend. ] You sure the bushes would be stable enough for something like that?

[brotograph]

Think like a white teddy bear, but with little pointy ears and a pink or red nose. It has little wings and a pompom on top of it's head.

[ he probably has a shot of noct in his festival outfit... but he'll share later ] I'm in your hands. [ he would deserve it ] If they can withstand kids or people leaning into them, then they probably can handle a camera. If not, we can try the bench or someone walking by.

[ turning the camera to kazu to snap a pic ]

[dms]

Huh... Interesting. It sounds cute!

[ is his mental image accurate? probably not. but it still sounds cute!

striking a quick pose for the camera-- ]

As long as you're sure! I know you said it's durable, but it would still give me a heart attack if it fell, you know?

[brotograph]

I can show you something later. Later later to add on to our list.

[ he smiles as he looks at the picture on his screen. he'll then tilt it so kazu can see. he put it on the pop filter so all the colors pop brighter ]

It's been through quite a bit. [ hmm ] I'll give it a test first. Can't have you having a heart attack.

[dms]

It just keeps growing! But I can't complain about that, if it gives me an excuse to keep you longer.

[ leans against prompto to see! ]

Oh, I love it! Leave it to the photog to find the perfect pic, huh? You made me look amazing! [ nudges him with an elbow. ] Then let's test it out! Start with the wide angle and let us get ready for the closeup.

[brotograph]

All a part of the plan.

[ putting his arm around the other ]

It's all you, baby. The camera loves you. [ as does the photog ] Alright! Let's try it...

[ he'll check out the bush first to make sure where he's placing it doesn't have big ass holes or anything. then he'll mess with the camera controls some more before plopping it down. ]

There we go! Just have start it then we should be good to try it.

[dms]

Sure that's not your own bias talking?

[ he's here and ready to (try to) catch the camera if something goes wrong, but thank goodness nothing does! ]

Awesome sauce~! So how far away do we want to go for the test run?

[brotograph]

Please. You've been great pictures before I even knew I had a bias.

[ he does have one though. he's going to lean in to kiss kazu on the cheek to thank him for being worried. ]

Let's see... maybe just before the draw bridge? Ready?

[dms]

Maybe the camera's the one with the bias, then?

You bet~! And make sure you give us enough time before it takes the pic, 'kay?

[brotograph]

Must be all cameras because you look great on my phone's, too.

Roger! Don't worry, there will be plenty of time. [ at least to get into a pose for it to snap ]

Okay, you head over first. I'll be right behind you.

[dms]

How lucky for us that they love you, too.

[ winks! ]

Okay~! Start thinking about poses you want to do, then!

[ there's a spring in his step as he heads over ]

[brotograph]

[ don't turn it around! ] They totally love you more. You should see all the shots I have of you.

[ new thing to argue over grossly ]

I could think of a few...

[ he'll watch him go, smiling a bit before clicking the button. then he's jogging over. ]

Want to form a heart?
