[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!]]

	[.......................... He was not emotionally prepared for this. Like, yes, only speaking the truth here but WHY SO LOUD.] Hey-- [Maybe he can sneak away while he's distracted, but... then again, clearly this guy is freaking out and he's not about to just leave him like that.] Hey, it's alright, just take a deep breath.

[Nothing, nothing makes him go off like nice guys who make nice chill sounds trying to be all reasonable and nice. Why are you like this?!]

I'M ALWAYS TAKING DEEP BREATHS! [Get it, because their training style...] Breathing won't change the cheers, the rainbows, the colors, these flowers being about to fall off--! [Holds up the crown indignantly and shakes it slightly at that last bit.]

	[It's his special power: ridiculousness. And now he looks more offended than anything else - shouldn't it be obvious?] They are small, and delicate, and girls really like them! If they get all crushed or ruined, you might make a cute girl cry!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He feels like he's talking to an even more ridiculous Lance, if that's somehow possible.] Is that really something to focus on right now...? [He says it more to himself, and immediately regrets saying it aloud considering this dude's reaction to things in general. But, honestly...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Lance and him would either get along swimmingly and become insufferable bros, or become competition and try to kill each other in their sleep. Better we never find out which.]

[UM. EXCUSE U. Even worse than his yelling, you get his equally as silly, but occasionally accurate Judgemental Side.]

What kinda guy doesn't care if girls cry? Aren't you an adult? Some sort of hero? [Because you look like you're carrying a weapon (the arm) and have a nice sound, so... hero.]

	[................... why the Judgemental Side. What did he do to deserve this? It's better than the screaming, at least for his encroaching headache, but it still feels weird for someone so clearly ridiculous to now be judging him. Excuse you.] Wh-- that's not what I meant at all! [Of course he doesn't want girls to cry...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ah, well. Now he's mentioned it, he is a little curious about the whole thing.] So... you are a hero, then? [If so, he'll tag along because he's scared and thinks he's helpless (he's not)] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Self-identifying as a 'hero' is incredibly embarrassing though... aslghad; also, lol, self-loathing and all that] If you need help, I can do what I can. But I'm stuck here just like everyone else, it seems. [If that's why you're asking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Doesn't that seem weird to you? [/thinks of him as a Hero from now on.] If there's a way in, there's got to be a way out, even if it's hidden or locked somehow. It shouldn't mean we have to simply wait around forever until a door decides to show itself to us.

[He keeps fiddling with the crown as he talks, less nervous fidgeting and more actually carefully rearranging the flower stems so they'll be tied more securely.]

[Takes a deep breath]

Yes, it is weird. [Very weird, and he's doing his best not to freak out about it.] But things tend to get weird when it involves... magic.

[Like, real life magic and not just. space magic shenanigans. You'd think he'd be used to this by now and yet...]

[Shakes his head] In any case, I've been looking around and I'm not about to stop. But it's definitely looking a little... random. [And sparkly.]

[Nods nods along to that, yep, same experience. Tried to look around, but it does seem like it's just as the Travelers said - no real exit until it shows up.]

I've got to keep looking too. [Looks down to the crown, mumbling more to himself, but it's audible:] I can't make my wife worry, what kind of guy would I be?

[Looks up again.] I could go with you, if you want help. I'm not really that strong, but I can fight if it's necessary. [And ONLY then.]

[Past the whole 'wow someone willingly married you, huh' feeling deep, deep, deep down, he also can sympathize with being separated from those you care about.]

Don't worry. I don't think fighting should be necessary. [Aside from the whole 'suddenly forced here' aspect, it hasn't been violent so far.] Let's start looking. If there's a way, we'll find it -- and then you don't have to be separated from your wife.

	[The way to his dumbass kokoro is to enable his delusions, so he cheers up immensely - mostly because you didn't argue the 'wife' part.] See? I knew you sounded like a nice guy! [NEVER FAILS.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The varying swinging of emotions is a little overwhelming. You do you, buddy. Uh.] Um... thank you? [It's a compliment and yet he's feeling perplexed by it.] [Anyway, he'll start heading out with the whole exploring thing, figuring he'll tag along. At least now he is filled with determination!!1 because loved ones shouldn't be separated ;o;] (Reply to this) (Parent)
