[WELCOME TO RAINBOW BRIDGE!

That's the first you hear, once you walk into this world. It's easy to see the reason for the name, having just crossed a bridge lit up in all the colors of the rainbow.

Whether you're from a different magical world, or consider the concept of magic a silly thing from movies and games, you'll still receive the proper welcome, and everything that comes with it - some information about this country, a map, directions, and explanations as to how there should be a residents list, but it seems empty at the moment.

But it doesn't end there! It's not just that you're now visiting a magical country with plenty of sights to see and places to explore, with different towns and cities, long roads across swamps, dunes and a large lake, even creepy castles by some cliffs and the dangerous forests surrounding them. No, this week they're also celebrating the arrival of Spring!

While some of the areas are naturally flowery and pretty (like EverGreen Town), it'll all still be noticeably decorated for the date, with flower garlands and bouquets everywhere, flower petals falling around and the perfume of flowers in the air, while NPC travelers will have flowery-patterned clothes, flowers in their hair or hats, and so on. Carriages taking you from place to place might be decorated as well, or you might spot horses with pretty arrangements in their manes.

You'll also be able to find seasonal treats at places like the bakery and the big community kitchen at Sunset Village, or the restaurants at Tourmaline City, or find cute colorful outfits at their clothing shops.

EverGreen Town will be thriving, with big sales on herbs, all sorts of spices, wines and ingredients, and obviously flowers, plants and decorations made with them. The plaza will be full of vendors but also people playing music and dancing through the days - a rare time for those in this town to be a little louder and outgoing.

Even at places like the creepy Crimson Keeps, you might be able to find rare treasure in the form of flower-shaped gems and jewellery!

So it's definitely not a bad time to arrive here - surely that initial confusion and outrage at being separated from your home or loved ones will go away much faster while you join the celebrations, right? Who can stay mad or anxious while wearing a freshly made flower crown?]]

[[And so it begins! Remember to note down your Travelers over here! // VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL. ¡Recuerden anotar a sus viajeros aquí!]]

[Speak of the devil, or the white haired witcher in this case, who followed the singing from far away, and is now approaching in what might be a startling way. One moment you're happily humming away while walking, the other there's a sudden movement, and a big strong hand grabbing your shoulder.

He only thinks to call out your name after grabbing you, oops.]

Jaskier.

[Of course, his first reaction to that is to let out a very undignified scream. In his defense, he was absoultely not expecting that. He's turning around and talking before you even get a chance to say his name.]

I swear, I haven't slept with anyone yet...!

[Calling his name and, well, actually stopping for a moment to see you, does help, though. You were right, you should have called out his name before grabbing him.]

Geralt!

	[Yes, maybe, but it's clearly more fun this way. Or so he hopes, because for all he knows you might not even remember all the stuff he does, and while obviously they still know each other, it'd change a lot of things.] [First things first, then he can poke fun of you.] Yeah. Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He might be thinking something along those lines. Just because they are both here doesn't mean they remember the same things-- not just from their world but also from that other one. He'll have to ask about it, of course, but for now he's just glad to see you again, to have found you. Even if you gave him quite the scare.]

You know you could've just said "hello" or my name right away, right? You could've killed me. Given me a heart attack, and then what would this world do without my music? A true tragedy.

[That's his long, overdramatic way to say he's fine.]

	[PLS.] I'm pretty sure your heart's stronger than that. [... He was trying to poke fun at you, but then he realizes that sounded cheesy as hell so now he's just looking a little awkward for a moment, before doing a mental shrug and going along with it. HE SAID WHAT HE SAID.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That was cheesy as hell and it only makes him grin like an idiot. He might be a little more used to it now, thanks to everything that happened in that other place, but he still can't help doing a bit of internal screaming every time you do or say things like that.]

That was actually kind of sweet. I think hanging out with me for so long has made you more... poetic.

	[You've well earned the reply:] Shut up, Jaskier. [Pls. Even if it's kinda true. Anyway...] Did you just get here? [Assuming yes, but then you seemed all cheery, maybe you'd been around for a while. Who knows with these time-space shenanigans.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He rolls his eyes, even though he knows he has earned that one. You should know by now that there are other ways, more efficient, to shut him up.]

It hasn't been a day. What about you?

[He hesitates for just a brief moment but before giving you time to answer he goes for what he really wants to know.]

Do you, uh, remember being somewhere else? Before here? Another Sphere, I mean.

	[He does indeed know, and yet if you were startled just by meeting him, he's concerned he might actually really kill you if he just makes a move out of the blue, should you not remember that's a Thing now.] One where you worked at a bar. [Right? Otherwise this is going to be a really complicated conversation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andgoodriddance 2023-09-29 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	[He might die, honestly, but you always have that effect on him. Especially if you catch him off guard. Alas, he visibly relaxes when you say that.] Oh, thank god. It would have been awkward if I was the only one who remembered all that. [Which is to say that yes, he does remember too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whenitfades 2023-09-29 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Nods to that, because it's a relief for him too. But then...] We were all together, back there. [By that he means the whole family reunited, not just their odd polyamory situation, in this case.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andgoodriddance 2023-09-29 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	[He frowns a little when he realizes you don't mean just their polyamory thing. By seeing you, he'd kind of assuming the others were there too.] Yennefer and Ciri aren't with you? But... Maybe they just appeared somewhere else. It doesn't mean they aren't in this world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whenitfades 2023-09-29 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	They would've left some kind of message. [A letter, or some note, or some mark somewhere, anything to signal to him "I'm here and I'm okay", because they know how he is.] [Hm :T] I should go wait for them. [If they're just late.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
