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: reapsody, grimmoired, plasmatio, subdivided, thotordie, bluesclues, tropicalgetaway, notagain, redactable, snowend, 7rings, seasonality, chasma, uturns, and chroma!

[ what is it like to be from a more normal place ]

If we did, I didn't know about it. We have festivals, but that doesn't even come close to this.

[dms]

Festivals are awesome, too, though! I love going to see all the decorations and booths and stuff they put up. It's so much fun, especially with friends!

[brotograph]

I'll invite you to the next one. [ which won't ever happen ] Let me know when one is happening near you and we can compare.

[ there's balloons! ]

[dms]

You bet! They're great places to get pics, too, so I just know you'll love it.

Found the balloons~! [ gonna go grab three! ] Now the question is: where do we want to put them?

[brotograph]

We should make a list of all the places to hit up.

[ just list after list until they can be together more permanently. just sneaking a pic of him grabbing the balloons ]

Are you feeling a little misleading or wanting it right there front and center?

[dms]

It wouldn't be "hidden" if it weren't at least a little misleading, would it?

[brotograph]

Let's set it up in front of one of the shop windows then. Maybe the bakery? They'll notice all the goodies first before the balloons.

[dms]

They might not even look at the balloons over there. It's the perfect spot!

[ hehe. time to go tie them onto the windowsill! ]

What do you think?

[brotograph]

Perfect! Even better with you there. [ taking a pic ] We should come back here after some rides to see if they're still here. [ and maybe bribe kazu with some of the cute cupcakes or dipped apples ]

[dms]

Even though red's not my color?

Sounds like a plan to me! Then we can pick up some pastries for the road, too.

[brotograph]

It makes your eyes pop a bit.

You read my mind! Might be a good snack for watching the fireworks.

[ snagging his hand again to start heading towards the direction of space mountain. unless they take another detour ]

[dms]

Only a bit?

[ red's not his color one second, and then he wants more praise for his eyes the next?

off to space mountain, though!! ]

There is no better snack for fireworks than something sweet~!

[brotograph]

A lot. They are very pretty.

[ he will praise him all he want. ]

It all looks pretty good. Maybe we should split a couple things to try them all?

[ without regrets later ]

[dms]

[ beams. yes, praise him more, he lives for it. ]

We should, we should! Then we can take more pics and give everyone more reviews of all the best stuff!

[brotograph]

[ seeing his face definitely makes him want to praise him more. ]

Good idea! Maybe they'll invite us back to do more reviews. You know, without appearing here without warning.

[dms]

That'd be so cool! We'd be like real Instablam influencers!

Ohh, or maybe they'd let Mankai come and do a show?!

[brotograph]

Both. Both would be good. What kind of show do you think they'd want you to put on? Something with castles or maybe one of the other places?

[dms]

Hmmm... Probs the castle, since that's a classic for this whole place. It's iconic! So I think it would probs be a Spring troupe thing, instead of Summer.

[brotograph]

If it's a Spring troupe thing, then you'll be free, right? I mean, I would love to see you act, but if you're free then I wouldn't mind sweeping you off.

[dms]

I'll still have to do the poster designs and stuff, but if it's just Spring, then I'll be free to do whatever during the performances. [ nudges with an elbow. ] Besides, you can come see me on stage anytime. All you have to do is say the word and I"ll get you a ticket.

[brotograph]

[ so he might be able to steal him during this whole made up scenario ]

How often do you perform anyways? Maybe I can try to make all of them.

[dms]

[ he's planning ahead ]

Mm... a few times a year, I'd say? We do other things for the company besides the main troupe plays, too. Sometimes we do mixed-troupe plays, or someone commissions us for something special - like a theme park show! But we're def not on-stage all the time.

[brotograph]

That's fewer than I thought. I didn't think it was all the time, but more than that? How long does it take you to study and practice a play?

[ it's good to know in case he wants to distract him ]

[dms]

About a month or two. But we only have one script writer, so I think it might be better this way? Otherwise Tsuzuroon will burn out even faster, and he's already sooooo bad at taking care of himself.

[brotograph]

Oh yeah, you said something about him never taking a break. Let me know when it's not a good time to visit. I will definitely want to hog you, but don't really want to mess any of that up for you.
