Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

[Grune looks up at that.] Oh, should I have brought my urn?

[Vampires are weak to very heavy battle urns, right?]

[shadedsunlight]

/Sparkling vampires. That is something that must be seen. Should we also be looking forward to lessons about vampires from you?/ [She teases out of friendship and love, but really. Vampires that sparkle. There's a new one.] /And urn... what?/ [Congratulations, Grune, you actually lost Ginia there. The joys of not having context.]

[consultmybooks]

If you want. The vampires from my world seem to be terribly uncommon in others. Remind me to tell you about Rachel, one day - she could shoot lightning bolts, had excellent taste in tea, and no gardening skills whatsoever.

[This time, Giles gets to lead the way. Just for a change of pace. He does look slightly puzzled at Grune at her question.]

Urn? N-No, um...I think we'll be fine, Grune. Unless you need more space to carry things, which, um, might certainly become necessary.

[lostinmyway]

[Unsurprisingly, she entirely misses their confusion and simply accepts Giles' response.]

Oh, all right.

[shadedsunlight]

/I'd love to hear about her sometime./

[Ginia lets Giles take the lead, still in the process of finishing up her cotton candy. Remarkable how she hasn't wolfed it down, but some sense of decorum is needed.

To Grune, Ginia smiles and asks:]

/Is there anywhere you want to go?/

[consultmybooks]

That's a good question. [Giles looks back at Grune after taking another bite.] Is there anything you'd prefer to see first, Grune? There are plenty of sights on the way.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune stops for a moment to consider the relayed question.] Hmmm....

[...Best to just keep going.]

[shadedsunlight]

[...Right! Onward it is. Ginia crumples up the paper cone and shoots it into a nearby garbage can as they pass by.

/I think compared to the last experiment, this is pretty nice. Though I'm still waiting for the catch./

[consultmybooks]

[Affectionately, to Grune:] Tell you what. We'll just try and see everything.

[Then, to Ginia...seriously, you finished it already?]

According to Catherine, this is supposed to replace our experiment for the month. A consideration of all of the troubles we've had to deal with, lately.

[And there have been many.]

[lostinmyway]

[And back Grune comes into the present. She smiles at Giles.] All right. That sounds like a very good idea.

[shadedsunlight]

[...Yes, of course. Never get between a girl and her cotton candy.]

/Suspect, but I'll take it. I haven't been to an amusement park in.../ [There's a pause as she thinks back and realizes she can't remember.] /Awhile now./

[consultmybooks]

Neither have I. [If he's ever been to an amusement park. Do traveling carnivals count?] Neither have most of the villagers, I would think. There are probably a few worlds where amusement parks don't exist at all.

[lostinmyway]

I've never seen an amusement park before. [Pause.] Or have I? Hmm....

[shadedsunlight]

/It's a nice introduction then. It's always fascinating what does and doesn't exist across worlds./

[Ginia grins at Grune's words.]

/You're definitely going to get to see this one./

[consultmybooks]

For Luceti? For once, it's a very nice introduction to the idea.

[Giles pauses, suddenly, staring around them with evident signs of confusion.]

Hm. That's, um, odd.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune looks up from her cotton candy and starts looking around as well, simply because Giles is doing it.]

Oh, are we lost?

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia also stops walking to glance over at Giles.]

/Something wrong?/

[consultmybooks]

Well, we're not actually lost. I must have just gotten us turned around somewhere.

[Giles nods towards a long, low building on the other side of the main path.] That's the Hall of Personas - not the haunted house.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's all right. We can go there first.

Sorry if I get slow, none of my notifs are coming in. DX

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia nods in agreement.]

/I'm fine with that too. We can always loop back to the haunted house and visit anything else on the way too./

Q_Q Damn you, Frank! Damn you to heeeeellll!

[consultmybooks]

Of course. It doesn't seem as though the park is going anywhere for a while, at least. We have time, so we might as well investigate while we're here. [He smiles back at the both of them.] Shall we, then?

I misread that as "damn you to heel" at first. XD Also, my notifs are doing a molasses impression.

[lostinmyway]

[Beam!] Oh, yes. I can't wait to see what's inside!

The sad part is after I posted that, my notifs began coming in. A few are still delayed though.

[shadedsunlight]

/Let's go ahead./

[Ginia takes the lead this time, curious to see what awaits them inside. A token is turned over to the droid staffing the hall with a slight glare of suspicion and wariness. It doesn't matter he's wearing a brightly colored vest; he's still like the other droids that kidnapped her.

Inside, it looks like any other typical house of mirrors with mirrors spreading out in a maze-like manner in front of them. Except when Ginia steps in front of the first mirror, her reflection shows a young girl around 12 years old, long dark brown hair, bright blue eyes, and clutching a book under one arm.

Well then. Ginia balks as she stares back at her pint-sized reflection.]

Mine have been coming in fine.

[consultmybooks]

Ginia? What's the matter?

[Giles is next into the hall. Seeing Ginia go pale, he steps up next to her, staring at her in some concern.

The reflection that appears in the mirror next to the young girl, of course, is something entirely different. A boy pokes his head into the frame, a boy with tousled black hair and wide blue eyes. He looks to be about eight years old, dressed in shorts that end above his knees and a lumpy, clearly handmade sweater. There's grass in his hair and grass stains on his knees, mud caking his hands and arms and even dotting his face. In one hand, he's holding a leash for something that's outside the frame of the mirror.

He looks from Ginia to Giles, frowning with childish suspicion...an expression that, in point of fact, doesn't match Giles' expression or even Giles' line of sight.

Giles, who is too busy trying to figure out what's happened to Ginia, doesn't look back at the mirror for a few seconds.

He goes pale.]

Mine are going back to normal, luckily.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune looks at the reflections, then back at Ginia and Giles in confusion.]

Are these your friends?

[She has yet to step in front of a mirror of her own.]
