[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!]]

Me? Weird ideas? It's like you don't even know me. I'm wounded.

[But yes, he definitely shares that feeling. It makes it easier to forget they have been dragged into another world. One that doesn't appear to have It in it, sure, but that doesn't make it any less weird and scary. Once again he's grateful he didn't show up here alone.]

Fine, fine. I'll go with you to get that.

To be fair, forty-eight hours I actually didn't, but well here we are. [He has to hold back a relieved sigh once you finally agree to keep him company, because he would have definitely ended storming off by himself otherwise, but he's glad he doesn't have to. He'd rather not be alone right now.]

Okay so, did you get a map of the place or something? If not, we should probably ask for directions first. [Instead of just randomly wandering off and get lost.]

Yeah, that's weird as fuck. I mean, it feels like I've known you all my life now.

[But he kind of brushes past that comment quickly, because that's not something he wants (or feels ready to) talk about right now.]

Oh, I'm going to blow your fucking socks off. I do actually have a map.

[Give him a moment while he digs through his pockets. There's a lot of shit in there.]

[He lets it slide for now since they have more pressing matters at hand.]

[He tries to wait patiently for you to find it, though he inevitably starts tapping his foot on the ground-- tap tap tap-- and his hands rest on his hips. In the end he lets out a sigh (that sounds a bit more fond than exasperated than he'd like to admit).] You always carry so much shit around, Rich.

	Hey, I don't carry anything that I wouldn't need. [Like some paper clips, and gum, and some receipts from stuff he has brought before... Whatever, at least he found the map!] You know how to read maps? I kind of let Google Maps take the lead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course I know how to. [He learned as a kid after all; and for a second he lets himself wonder exactly when he had done so, resulting in his mind quickly providing him with an image of a crowded group of boys around a wrinkled map extended on the floor of a neatly kept bedroom with a compass resting on one of its corners, while a boy with curly hair points at different parts of it.]

[He blinks and the image is gone, so he just shakes his head and sighs.] You just have to identify the buildings nearby and orient yourself. [And he does just that, looking around and at the map for a moment before finally pointing at some direction.] It's over here.

[When he sees you looking at the map, he gets a similar memory back. Although he remembers that he was always finding excuses to stand next to you, as close as possible. Maybe even having their shoulders touch, once or twice. Ugh, was he really like that as a kid? He feels embarassed remembering that.

So embarassed that he doesn't reply to you straight away, too distracted with the memory and you--present you-- being near him.]

Uh. What was that again?

	[He gives you an unimpressed look at that.] Really Richie? This is important, you have to pay attention. Whatever, just-- follow me, and don't get lost. [In the end he just sighs, again, and starts walking towards the directions he's sure the hospital is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good thing you didn't linger too much on it.] Ohhh, so bossy. [But of course he does exactly as he's told and follows you.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
