Luceti Land!!

Who: [livejournal.com profile] 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."

Thank you for the reassurance Miss Ginia, I am truly trying my hardest to be cheerful for Helios when he returns.

I think we all are, but I think he'd want you to enjoy yourself too.

[Her smile softens as she gently gestures around.]

Care for company?

I could see him now going on about how I should try having a bit more fun and then promptly drag me to the nearest place with sweets. He always wants me to be more cheerful and smile, so I think today I'm going to try and be happier for him. [He nods at her.] I'd care for that very much.

[Ginia nods and smiles in agreement. Helios would probably want Frederic to be happy for himself, but Ginia has since learned her lesson in offering unsolicited advice.]

How about we do as he would and get some sweets?

[Frederic nods and walks with Ginia as they continue talking.]

I do hope they have something with gingerbread since I favor that most, though Helios and Giles have been wanting me to try different types of sweets.

There's nothing wrong with having favorites. Gingerbread is wonderful. I hope they have salt water taffy, it's always been one of my favorite snacks and perfect for an amusement park. All the deliciousness without any of the mess.

[There's a hint of curiosity in his voice.] Salt water taffy? What is that?
shadedsunlight: (Have you ever seen the lights?)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-22 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Frederic, prepare to be educated.]

It's a type of pulled candy made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, flavoring, and a few other things. It's made by heating together all the ingredients, then placing it on a machine that pulls the candy into long ropes, then folding it back onto itself before pulling it again. After it's done, it's cut down into bite-sized pieces and wrapped. It's really good!

[He takes note of everything Ginia says, but brings up one question he has on his mind.]

You said it is made of all those ingredients, but I am curious. The name is salt water taffy, yes? Why is there no salt water in it?
shadedsunlight: (I look at you and smile because I'm fine)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2011-08-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Good question. There is water and a bit of salt, but there isn't salt water or sea water. There's a legend about the origin is a candy store owner's store was flooded by a storm and all his taffy gets soaked with sea water. A girl later comes into the store and asks for taffy and he replies all he has is "salt water taffy" as a joke. The girl buys it, shows it to all her friends - since it's something new and different - and it becomes a big hit.

I did not know even treats could have origins or legends behind them, that is very fascinating.

If you think about it, everything had to start from somewhere. Some creative idea from someone's mind.

[They arrive at a stand filled with candy, baked goods, and all the types of sweets from around all the worlds anyone could ever ask for. It's marvelous. It's wonderful. It's a confectionery heaven.

If only Helios could see it.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2011-08-24 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, indeed what you speak is very true.

[He looks around at the stand and sees what he could bring back to the apartment for Helios to have when he returns.]
