[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 entire life is struggles, tbh. And... yes, hello randomly pretty guy. Shiro is not so out of it as to be so obvious as to double-take, but it's a near thing.] Oh-- no, sorry. I'm just a little lost at the moment... and don't have any money. [That makes him sound as lost and pathetic as he feels, doesn't it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[But he nods in understanding, because he actually was in the same situation a while ago.] You can get some more easily than you'd think. Do you have anything with you that you could trade, or pawn? Or you could offer to help in one of the shops. [You're a big guy and it seems like it'd be easy enough to do a little work just about anywhere.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2023-10-07 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Huh... well, I guess that's good to know? And I guess it doesn't matter if I say that I didn't exactly plan on being here today, huh? [Still, it's clear this person's vibe is different from everyone else he's tried talking to so far. Sigh. This is weird but, whatever, his entire life is weird lately so what else is new?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shakes his head to that, and if it helps he does look sympathetic. He didn't want this either.] I think many of us didn't want to take a detour here, but it's happened anyway. They told you when you arrived, right? [About the magic shenanigans, the various dimensions, the sort of... dubious consent nature of such a world.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2023-10-08 02:33 am UTC (link)
	[Nods his head.] I think the weirdest thing is that it's hardly the weirdest thing that's happened to me lately. [Or even today, if he's honest.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Lets out a little laugh, and the sentiment is genuine even if his smile isn't. It looks real enough, at least.]

That makes two of us, then. [Given he was... also at a different world/dimension, for years even. So much it'd become almost normal, until his arrival here was an ugly reminder of how absolutely not normal that scenario was, and of its instability.]

So, what's your story? If you don't mind sharing.

	[Looks a little flustered at the question.] Oh, uh... it's kind of a long story. [Normally he'd say hard to believe, too, but then again... they're in a magical sparkly rainbow land.] Involves aliens and intergalactic battles. That sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toneverdying 2023-10-10 01:34 am UTC (link)
	[It should've been a little more obvious given the uniform and GIANT FLOATING FUTURISTIC TECH ARM, but you know, one tends not to assume "intergalactic battles" too much.] What, like...? [Makes the Vulcan salute sign.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2023-10-11 02:15 am UTC (link)
	[Laughs awkwardly] Kind of? Close enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toneverdying 2023-10-13 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	That's interesting. [And he's genuine about that, at least, which makes his expression a little softer and more natural.] I've met a lot of people, even wizards and pirates, but I don't think I met too many who could go into space. [He'd suspect bullshit, even, if it weren't for the cool futuristic arm and all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2023-10-22 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	[Laughs a little, although it's more a disbelieving breath than anything else] In fairness, being able to go to space isn't necessarily common practice back home, either. [And then not to mention space wizards and space pirates, but hey.] Turns out the universe is a lot bigger than expected in a lot of ways. [Haha.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well, neither is being a plain astronaut, if we're talking about fairness there. That he just happens to be someone with an interesting occupation isn't too surprising, though, that was usually the case with folks from other worlds.]

Was that what you were doing? Simply exploring the universe? [And somehow ended up engaged in an 'intergalatic battle'... or is he more like a space cop of some kind?]

	yieldsfocus 2023-10-27 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	More like trying to explore one little corner of the universe... and then the universe came to us. [Er.] Now it's a little more complicated. And in fairness, before I showed up here, I was on Earth again for the first time in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He does look a little fascinated by the idea - he'd love to explore space, the weirdo obsessed with eternity that he is.]

So you are from Earth? [Or one version of it, at least. Could've been some other rando planet with humans or human-like people - that'd be even more fun, though the whole "is there life elsewhere" question is kinda answered by these multiverse ideas by themselves.]

	[Laughs, although almost without humor.] Yep, just a regular old human here. [Well, technically. If you excuse the whole clone nonsense and the existential crisis that might summon up. Technically human, though, yes.] [And oh--] Ah, my name's Shiro by the way. [In case it's weird to know species before name lol.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toneverdying 2023-11-18 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	[He's also not human anymore, and hasn't been for years, but he laughs it off like it's a silly little thing to have to be noting.] Same here. [Just a regular old human! (Not)] And my name's Eli. Eli Ever. [Which sounds fake or like an alias, because it kinda is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's nice to meet you. [Er] Despite the circumstances of all this, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toneverdying 2023-11-19 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Hah.] Don't worry, I wouldn't think anything of it. [The remark. Of course the circumstances are bad - though for different reasons in his case.] So... Did you want to go in, afterall? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yieldsfocus 2023-11-20 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Well now it feels rude if I just walked away, right? [Half joking.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
