[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!]]

Maybe not entirely unusual. As Karr once wrote - the more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Did he have to paint what most consider a simple turn of phrase as some philosophical quote? Is it part of his act too? No, sorry, he's just Like That. That this certain dead French novelist also is known for commenting on capital punishment for murderers probably isn't coincidence either. Anyway.]

Sorry, you're right. It's Akechi. [He inclines his head forward, polite.] Goro Akechi. Nice to meet you, these circumstances aside.

	[Fun fact, he's (obviously) also a murderer, and supports one of the biggest serial killers you'll know. But let's not go there.] [He does pick up on the general... "Being Like That" vibe, but ah well, how to say it less rudely...] You seem really polite. [Especially for such a weird situation where most people'd freak out a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Rainbow Bridge aka where killers go to lowkey just vibe with each other.]

Do I? Hmm. I suppose it's a habit.

[It's been said to him enough times not to miss that it isn't generally a positive statement, but he doesn't comment on that and merely shrugs lightly, stewing in the annoyance of it. Whatever. As if anyone would bother to share information if he weren't.]

	[We can't stop the tradition started by SeiSub, afterall.] I'm not saying it's bad. It's just... I doubt anyone could blame you, if you were a little freaked out with all of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's important hidden lore!]

You're right. [Bullshit, people very easily could, but probably there's someone nice out there who would agree with that idea. His smile is easy, looking out to the surroundings passing them by as the train continues on its way.]

Still, if nothing else, perhaps it can be something of a comfort for others to see someone keep calm in such a... strange situation.

[Thinks of Lestat, and how he'd probably absolutely hate being stuck in yet another weird world with magic, and at once feels both relieved he doesn't have to deal with Lestat's bullshit right now, and... like he misses him horribly.

Little toxic vampire things, and all that.]

Fair enough. [Sigh.] You met many others like this? [People who aren't yet so used to this world, that is.]

[He hums, thoughts running through the people he's had conversations with until now like a catalogue of experiences and the things he's garnered from them. Present company included.]

It varies. A young woman carrying a sword at her side certainly kept her ease better here compared to the man mourning his lack of an inhaler.

Still, the latter is more familiar to what I know.

[Ah.]

The girl with the long, almost white hair? [He knows the answer via flashes of his mind, but at least Ciri's appearance and sword-carrying habits are unusual enough it'd make sense she'd stand out to anyone.]

I've met her before, in the other world. Her dad, too. [Seems there's a few of them from there, which is a little comforting given it means it's likely Lestat will be able to follow him here.]

[He pauses, though thinking about it, maybe that's not unusual to hear be recognized here, today's conversations all considered. And if there's a subconscious, distant little prickle of tension over "dad" that he himself doesn't even feel get under his skin... Well that's just a day that ends in Y.]

That's the one. Come to think of it, she mentioned being in another world beyond her own, before coming here...

Certainly seems like more than one connection between here and there.
