+++ 奇跡国 - Miracle Country +++

Hi, my name is Raimu Bito. You can call me Rhyme.( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ If you're reading this, then I guess I did this right. I won't really know until someone replies though, so if you're not busy, can you please write back? I'd really appreciate it!

[Rhyme lightly taps the end of her pen against her chin as she considers what else to write. It doesn't seem right to end it just like that. She wonders if there's any point in asking if anyone has seen her brother, but there's really ho harm in trying, right? And nothing ventured nothing gained so...]

Also, have any of you seen a guy named Beat around here? I don't know if he was brought here too, but he's my brother. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and is probably carrying his skateboard. If you've seen him, can you tell him that I'm here too? I don't think he'll pay any attention to his journal.

[Rhyme laughs as she writes that last part.]

Thank you very much!（＾_＾）

[ Three years. Jinora hasn't seen Miracle Country in three years. She'd completely forgotten until she appeared in the Welcome Center again. The names and faces started surfacing. Her stomach twists unpleasantly. It's been three years for her, but how long has it been for them? Are they even still here or does she have to start over? Jinora takes a deep, calming breath. Things back home weren't great, but they could wait now that she's sure that time does in fact stop for her. ]

[ So she faces the matter at hand and addresses the network yet again, this time three years older and an Airbending master. But, like before, she's sitting in front of the cherry blossom tree in Sakura Park. ]

Hello [a slight smile] again. I'm sorry if I worried anyone. It's been three years for me, but I think it's only been a few days here. Time in Miracle Country isn't very straightforward.

If you've never met me, my name is Jinora. If you have, I'd really like to hear from you.

[ She turns off the video and leans against the tree, waiting for replies or maybe even visitors. ]

[Anyone passing by the candy shop today or glancing at their journal will see Himawari outside the candy shop's front door, holding a little tray of little baskets, all full of little candy-coated chocolates, and sparkling at anyone who may be passing by]

Free samples! Today only - try our new recipes and flavors!

[Over the past seven years, this day has usually been one for melancholy or thoughtfulness, considering it marks another year in Kiseki, but this year, Himawari is determined to face it with more cheerfulness and happiness than previous years. Dare she even think maybe with a kind of hopefulness? Regardless, her good mood doesn't seem faked for once.]

Free samples for everyone today to mark the candy shop's anniversary! [It's not the exact day for the shop, of course, but she's long since forgotten the day she got the job here - or the day she inherited the shop from Kakei and Saiga. So today works as well as any]

The candy shop has been around for almost seven years now, so I just wanted to do my part to thank everyone for your continued support and business over the years - to both old and new customers. Thank you very much! Shizuka-kun, Lancelot-san, and I are all incredibly thankful!

And if you like the candies, please consider returning and buying all our different lines of candy!



[Of course, anyone who actually does take the candy samples from her will find themselves, a short time later, undergoing some strange side-effects, ones that no one might necessarily expect, least of all Himawari. Suddenly, her good mood (and lack of good luck) seems to be spreading to others around - and everyone's suddenly just a little bit lovestruck.]

[The effects of the candy will last for as long as half of an hour, or shorter. Your character will eat the candy and then fall in "love" with whoever they happen to see first upon eating that candy. For more information about the original event, go here. The candies being offered will be listed in the cut below.]

( ooc: candy colors & their type of love )

[Look at that calendar, dear Kiseki residents! Do you see what day is today? Do you?

Exactly

It's Harry Dresden's birthday! Yay!

It's such an important date that the land itself decided to throw a themed party for him, in which he's trapped and unable to leave before midnight. Therefore, starting at around 10 am, a big section of the park starts resembling Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

That'd be the wrong wizard named Harry but who cares as long as the food is good, right?

We have, among other things, a Quidditch field with brooms that don't fly - unless except MAYBE if you ask an actual wizard to enchant them -, a TARDIS-sized Shrieking Shack, and a replica of the Great Hall where there are tables with lots of food and cake and more cake and the ceiling is just like the sky… No, wait. That is the actual sky.

Oh, oh. I guess it's Halloween too. Thus, some of the characters who wander inside the party zone may have their clothes changed to the Hogwarts house they'd be in if they were students. Even if they have never heard of anything Potter.]

((OOC: Everyone is welcome to the party! And welcome to mingle, of course =) You can give your good wishes to the birthday boy in his thread here))

[It had been a few minutes since Beat had arrived in the wonderful world of Kiseki and already he's started to create a ruckus. He'd just been escorted out of the Welcome Center but even then he puts up a fight, waving his fist in the air, his feet dragging against the ground. At some point, his journal had fallen out of his hands, opening and recording the following]

Yo! I didn't ask for this, aight? I'm done with all that crap 'bout UG. This place don't even look like UG, man! What gives? [Clearly he wasn't listening at all when he was being briefed about Kiseki.] You think I'm aight with you bastards pullin' me outta RG jus' when I got back? Hell naw!

'Sides, I gotta... [He quiets down for a moment, almost looking pensive. But even that doesn't last for long.] I gotta go back, aight? Don't matter what the reason is. I jus' want outta your stupid game. If I gotta bust some heads or rip someone a new one to get outta this, then bring it, yo! I ain't scared a' any of you.

[And then he proceeds punching at the air again. Looks like he's more bark than actual bite... But he pauses when the Welcome Center ladies start talking again. All at once. ]

...The hell you talkin' 'bout? I ain't pickin' up nothin' you sayin' if you keep talkin' like that. I said slow down, yo!

[There is one thing he hears clearly though. But his brows knit together upon hearing it.]

I don't care 'bout no Chad or his shiverin' pussies none, either! [Yeeeeep.]
