[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!]]

[His whole life, he has been surrounded by lifeforms taller than himself, so he doesn't get surprised nor intimidated by the usual height difference.] Well, I have nothing better to do than try to find one. It's not like we're getting out of this place anytime soon.

[How many towns were there even, he should probably get a map of the flarking place since it seemed huge compared to where he was before. Either way he'd rather have a change fast, he was starting to get tired of all the flowery scents surrounding the plaza and the d'asted flower crown was starting to make his ears itch.]

[He can't help but be curious over the phrasing, raising a brow in interest... Though all things considered he supposes most everyone here has come to the same conclusion about how much time they could be be stuck here. Certainly it's out of his own expertise, all the world travel magic deal better left in other hands.]

What makes you so certain? Whether they tell of the way back or not, finding the means how can't be so far out of the realm of possibility.

[If only a certain adventurer he knows were here.

Either way, as far as maps go, Rocket may spot one in Estinien's hands, which he unfolds to look at himself regardless, glancing over to the road after.] This path ahead to the north leads to a village, it seems. Best we have a look there first.

Simple: this ain't the first time I've gotten stuck in a similar situation, and while I've been keeping a meticulous record ever since I was first displaced this d'asted thing. [And here he waves around his tablet, technology thingie for emphasis.] Just decided to act up and it's going to take me some time to repair it, and I'd rather have a hearty amount of well deserved booze before I get to it.

[He definitely needs to get himself one of those, as primitive as carrying around actual paper might be. Ideally he would just scan it with his datapad but that obviously wasn't an option at the moment. Eh, he'll figure it out later.] Better than just standing around here. [The fastest they move the fastest they'll find a drink after all.]

[Estinien is lucky he has such a naturally serious face, that when he tilts his head and looks at the tablet, his total lack of comprehension is less apparent than it might otherwise be. He thinks back to Cid and his whole technological genius nonsense crew with the Ironworks, and wonders at how much they would lament over missing out on helping fix a device with such world-traveling records. Oh well.]

Can't say that I've yet experienced the same. Although I've allies back home who did suffer an unexpected run-in of this sort not so long ago.

[He supposes this'll be a story to take back with him one day, if the ordeal now is indeed anything similar. Nodding to Rocket with an agreeing hum regardless, he full turns to the apparent path and gets to walking.] Aye, onward it is.
