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!

Oh, dang, girl! Looking good! Pick one out for me.

ii.

[hi. a small child is currently collecting all kinds of snacks? there is literally like popcorn buckets, churros, pretzels, cotton candy, candy apples, etc. hanging out of his arms and he may very well not be able to see where he's going. but he peers around his snack pile and grins broadly before sort of shaking his arms at whoever is nearby.]

You look like you could use a pick-me-up. [snack break!]

iii.

[alternatively, you can find him zipping around the park, kind of eyeballing each new area with a little bit of awe.]

It...sort of feels familiar. Like the Realm? But not quite. It's weird...have you looked around much yet?

iv, because i had to.

[AND THEN SUDDENLY:]

Hey! Have you seen the King anywhere? I thought I saw him earlier, but I can't find him anywhere.

[daggering]

1.

[ at some point there is a very, very large raven sitting on top of a fancy lamppost, watching the proceedings of the most magical place on earth. it appears to be just sort of vibing, but if you turn around for too long, and you're familiar...

... do you have a churro in your hands? well

the raven swoops out of nowhere and steals it, but then doesn't fly very far away. it sounds a little like it's laughing with its mouthful of pastry. what a jerk! ]

wildcard

[ not bird prompts are also allowed i guess ]

[peakfan]

I.

[ there's a strangely dressed man sulking about, wearing a pair of ears perched jauntily against his hair crown. He seems to be absorbed in eating his churro. ]

Well, it's certainly different than Shanghai....

[ that comment was probably not meant for wandering ears. hm! ]

II.
[ or you could just find him sitting in a tea cup spinning calmly across the area. he'd probably have a cup of tea with him if he could?

at least he looks like enjoying himself (questionable) ]

[dianxias]

food

[ would it be xie lian if it were not xie lian doing something weird? of course not. namely, it is xie lian wearing a pair of these ears, watching someone make a churro with unmuted fascination on his face. there's a moment where he looks at the churro... and then at his sleeve.... and then back at the churro.... ]

food...2

[ or, alternatively, you might find him holding a much wanted mickey bar in his hands! xie lian is examining his bar with the joy of someone who has never seen a mickey bar before on his face, which means that the literal second he bites into it, the ice cream bar starts to drip onto his hand - and then not a moment later, plop, the entire top of the bar slides off and hits the ground.

he just looks down at it for a long moment. ] Ah, well...

network

xielian??? @ mcm
This place seems quite familiar!!
... Are the people in the strange suits and outfits the leaders, do you think?

[ lmk if you would prefer baby or grown up! or tag and be surprised! ]

[liuli]

You've got me feeling a bit like a damsel in distress.

[ hello he will take these ears, even posing a little, before plucking... these off of a shelf and placing them on lup's head. ]

Three pairs of striking ears for you, then. A shame these might not twitch. [ hehe ♥ ]

[evocationary]

You terrible, horrible man, exposing my secrets in public.

[what secrets. your ears are on display, you dingus. she reaches and pinches his nose between her thumb and forefinger.] I like these! Appropriately sequined. Just the exact kind of tacky souvenir I love to put in a box.

ii

[supremity]

[ wao. hua cheng doesn't even really bat his singular eye at the fact that he's got these ears, and instead just adjusts them slightly as he surveys the selection before - ]

Ah, just don't let gege try to eat these. [ he thinks food's funny, apparently. ]

[shiftingwinds]

false advertising...

[someone is here at the mint julep bar in a part of the park that looks like new orleans, which is a place she has certainly never been to before... she's sipping at a few drinks and she's got a plate of beignets in front of her.

after a moment or two, she sighs.]

There's no alcohol in this...

[she stares sadly at the sign. alas... she was fooled...]

grim grinning ghosts

[now she is standing outside the haunted mansion, squinting at it.]

So is the point of this to go in and get scared...?

[ghosts are no joke!!]

(cantina music)

windmaster @ mmc

[there's a selfie of shi qingxuan on the network at the cantina up at galaxy's edge. there are like ten empty glasses in font of her, and she's toasting the camera with the eleventh.]

i found actual alcohol ! come drink with me !!

wildcard

[if neither of the above works for you hit me with literally anything else i wanna tag with you all!!!]

[battling]

[ He's eating this churro in peace and quiet, but he's also got an eye on this bird, completely convinced it's going to try stealing from him. ]

[evocationary]

[she reaches to gently adjust the veil. very pretty. she taps him on the nose.]

If the man tries to take a bite out of those there's no helping him. [she says, amused.] Yeesh.

iii

[supremity]

I was looking at the maps, earlier, and it sounds like they have some things that would fit in with the Realm.

[ vibing while strolling... he's got an actual sketchbook this time with a map sticking out, folded up, out of the back of it. instead of his wrapping paper shenanigans from the realm. ]

The castle looks very much familiar, though.

ii

[uncoincidental]

[oooh, a veil. sheba giggles, flicking the tulle over her shoulder a bit, and then goes to look for more ears...

before producing these and tiptoeing up to put them on lup's head]

Here!

[liuli]

I'd never do such a - [ leave his nose alone!!!! he makes a vaguely offended noise that is not at all even offended, sticking his face back out after lup when she does. muffled: ] -- thing.

[ free him. once he bats his hand free he adjusts the ears on the top of her head a little to perfection. ]

Certainly, I think we've taken home stranger souvenirs. Shouldn't lovely, shiny things be put on display...? Though, I suppose if the light catches them too often, you might blind someone.

[daggering]

[ the bird caws at him and then flops over, hanging upside down off the top of the lamppost. caw, caw.

what're you lookin at!!! he is just a bird. ]

[battling]

[That is not just a bird.]

Did Mr. Bridegroom get t' ya?

[The last time one of these things happened, Nero was here. It's not out of the question if Rustica showed up to turn somebody into a bird then bailed.]

[supremity]

[ hua cheng, wearing some goth ears...

gently takes the popsicle stick that remains in his hand

and replaces it with an intact mickey bar ]

ghosties

[9mon]

You don't have to be scared! When Yuki goes into places like these he comments on all the outfits and the quality. So you can pick what you're focusing on.

1

[fleshedout]

[Yeah, that does seem like a pretty familiar-looking raven. Hot Pants is staring at it for a while, before it flaps down and..........well. Bye, churro.]


[She blinks.]


If you're Vax....why. Why would you do this.

[supremity]

[ he scrunches his nose at the tap, but is otherwise unbothered. ]

He seems mostly distracted by everything else, so there's that. [ he plucks some of her hair free from under the band. ] There we go.

ii

[perfectdistance]

[Hello? How is this small child carrying all of this and not dropping it all.]

You look like you could use a hand.

[daggering]

[ why not,

the bird gives the churro a wiggle? and then flies away a little bit?? and then wiggles it back at hot pants

pspspspspps ]

[daggering]

[ the bird crows loudly a couple of times

it sounds like who the fuck is that

and then it flutters off of its perch and flies around bradley's head once. hello? who are you ]
