[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!]]

[It's be understandable to have that reaction to her, someone who very clearly has her guard up. When you approach to talk, she lowers her hand a little, not so ready now to grab the sword. Still, she's quick enough (she believes) to be able to do something if you prove to be a threat.]

I think so. [She pauses for a moment, looking at you.] You're not from here, either.

['Here' meaning more than just this village. She hopes you get what she's talking about.]

[He knows very well how easily a practiced fighter could reach back to their weapon for an attack, so internally the gesture does little to ease his worries, but his disposition remains calm enough, nodding to her in answer.]

You're right, I'm not. I came this far only after stepping off that bridge as you did. [If that's what she means by her wording, he assumes.]

	[Your expression remains calm enough that she doesn't think you're worried or concerned about it. She then nods to what you said.] ...Yeah, me too. This is a different world that the one you were in before, isn't it? And there's a good chance that we don't come from the same one. [Your clothes are of the more modern style she has seen in that other place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems to be that way. No one generally dresses as you do where I'm from, and I can only guess the same goes for your own... world, is it? [He can't believe this is some actual isekai shenanigans. It's one thing to travel to another dimension when he can control it, but this? Ffs.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Can notice from your tone and that pause that this isn't an average experience for you. It wouldn't be for her either, if it weren't from that other world she was in before.] Yes. [...] I know it's strange at first. Finding out there are other worlds out there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Partly wants to laugh, and at the same time recoil when he recognizes this girl is - being nice, and speaking as a way of comforting him for the inexperience in these matters. Stop that, he sucks at dodging it.] ... You speak as though you've been through this before already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She is being nice, yes. And it's genuine. Her experiences might made her a lot more guarded, but she still has sympathy.] I have, yes. I was in another world, different from the one I was born in, before arriving here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see. [There's a lot to unpack there, his own understanding of other "worlds" versus what this situation seems to be and what others like her have been experiencing before now. Hmm.] Let me ask... Was your previous experience in any way connected to your original world? Portals, exits, any sort of parallel that would link them together? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She lets you take the lead of the conversation. She's a bit more used to this and she figures you have a lot of questions or information you'd want to find out about these circunstances.] There are portals where I'm from, but not ones that can take you to other worlds. The place I was in before had powerful magic... I suppose this one does, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Portals, is it. He'll have to file away what he learns from the bits and pieces people share for later, should something be relevant. All the more so at this whole thing of other similar worlds of this caliber.] Maybe so. I'm afraid that's outside of my experience... there's no such thing as magic acknowledged in this way where I come from. (Reply to this) (Parent)
