EVENT LOG PT. 1: Dueling Festivals

Who: Everyone!
What: EPCOT's Dream Festival and Plankton's Plankton Festival.
Where: EPCOT!
When: May 18th to May 25th.
Warnings: Plankton.



DREAM FESTIVAL
DI.

(Imageworks.)

The Dream Festival is held at EPCOT's Imagination Pavilion, largely held upstairs. The downstairs area is is dedicated to the ride itself - a ten-minute look at the wonder and joy of Imagineering, while the theater next door is some sort of documentary about a figure named Captain EO. But the real excitement upstairs, is in the newly revamped Imageworks Pavillion - The Junior
Imagination Station.

Billed as an escape to worlds that were, that could be, and those of fantasy and reality, the Imageworks is designed to get people interested in Imagineering, and as such, is filled with exhibits designed to boggle the mind. This includes the Rainbow Corridor, a tunnel featuring colored lights that assigns each guest a color that follows them as they move through it, among other things. A giant wall-mounted coloring book that gets filled in with electric "paintbrush guns", a series of floor panels that can be stepped on and make sounds, a giant pin screen, you name it.

DII.

(Dreamscape Room.)

One of the more ambitious new add-ons to the pavilion is the Dreamscape Room, a room that is set up to configure to one specific person's desire. Whoever's in control of the Dreamscape Room at the moment (each visitor has a time of five minutes within the Dreamscape Room before it's passed on to the next person)
is able to shape and form a new world within the room, one that will disappear as soon as they leave. This is displayed in photorealistic light and sound, allowing for you to bring anything from your imagination right in front of you.

How will you use your time? Bringing to life a new creation, or perhaps showcasing your home world to others? Living out an old fantasy - a memory? You have a small amount of time here, and you should make the best of it.

DIII.

(With apologies to Cosmographia.)

Just outside of the Imagination Pavillion is a garden - series of colorful flowers and a Figment topiary. It's not explicitly advertised as being part of the exhibit, but there are a rainbow of flowers here, and they seem to be just as much a part of the festival as anything else. For, you see, picking a flower will make you feel a certain emotion for up to an hour, or until another flower is picked. This will depend on the color of the flower chosen. Below is a list of all the different ones!

PLANKTON FESTIVAL
PI.

(Trashfire.)

Meanwhile, directly across from the Imageworks Pavillion, this shit is happening I guess?

The primary attraction of the Plankton Festival is a statue of Plankton made out of what appears to be popsicle sticks. Surrounding this is a foodcart selling lukewarm chum on a stick, terrible yellow balloons that feature a cartoon eye (+the above horrifying balloon animals, a stall selling Chum Bucket Bucket Helmets, and a throne set up for Plankton himself. Much like Santa Claus, you can get a picture of him sitting in a throne with you either standing incredibly far away from him or being directly on top of him.

There's also literally a garbage can that's on fire. This is considered the highlight of the festival by many.

PII.

(Ballpit.)

At some point, it is decided that the festival needs a new attraction. So, they bring it in:

What are you, trying to one up Jesus?
whatarenext: (Cause it's not yours to take)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-22 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Mewni? Is that...like in Europe?
whatarenext: (When I lost my mind)

[Even when he's forcibly made to be sympathetic by a magic flower he just fails. He fails. Guess Mike has to rip off the bandaid with this wild lynx or whatever!]

They boink!!! They make out! They do it while wearing the suits, are you happy now?!
whatarenext: (Did I leave it in the cold?)

Don't judge me, this is a coping mechanism. Or whatever the millennials call it these days.

[Mike is currently just laying in the ballpit, wearing the chum bucket helmet. Is this the lowest a middle aged man can get? Literally it is.]
tacticalespionageaction: (hhhgghhr)

[personal profile] tacticalespionageaction 2018-05-22 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Snake is quick to notice someone following him, and hastily ducks behind the nearest trashcan.

Back pressed against the metal, he lies in wait to catch a glimpse of his pursuer.]
tacticalespionageaction: (hhmmmgr)

[personal profile] tacticalespionageaction 2018-05-22 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't say it rings any bells.

[There's something close to a grin on his face. Vaguely. If you really look.]

You're not gonna snitch, are you?

[Despite his tone, the intent is humorous. He can't imagine anyone caring enough about Plankton to bother going out of their way to do so.]
tacticalespionageaction: (infinite ammo)

[personal profile] tacticalespionageaction 2018-05-22 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives Patchy a thumbs up.]

That's the man I voted for.

[Keep tearing down Plankton in every possible form, you hero of no nation.]
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least once, so that obviously means they're friends now. Or something.]

...Yeah, uh, thanks? You're really showing how much you care today, huh?
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, everything? You mean you forgot, like--

[Wait, wait. She was just about to ask about Star's death, that's probably not a good thing.]

...Wow, how does that even feel? Must be kinda confusing.
faciliheir: (you do have a soul don't you)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-05-22 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That actually makes it worse. And I'm honestly not even sure you're aware of that.
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, you were eating those chum things? That's what they're there for?
kindaruledatit: (uuuuugh)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[why]

Dude... [Why must you do this to her.] Nope, just a little difficult, with that guy sleeping in it.

[She didn't expect, or want, to steal Mike Hack Fraud but here she is.]
dothebackslide: (A runabout you say?)

[personal profile] dothebackslide 2018-05-22 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He glances over at the sleepy Mike.]

OH YES, THAT WOULD MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO JUST STUFF IT DOWN YOUR PANTS.
kindaruledatit: (Okay....?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's what I'm good at. [It's not, but she'll downplay it for Daria.] Just think, you could've missed all this.

[And Wendy wouldn't have anyone to hang out yet.]

Oh... this is a place from that island, right? You said something about it when we first met.
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, why are you always yelling? Like, that's gotta be rough.
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I get the feeling Wander would disagree with that, if he was here.

[...Dang, she misses Wander.]

...Oh yeah, totally. Wonder where the guy is now.

[Because let's just change the subject.]
flowersonthewall: (12)

[personal profile] flowersonthewall 2018-05-22 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beaker looks away anxiously, trying to hold his ground. But he's not saying "no", either. Or the meep equivalent. Just a little more pushing and maybe...]
marryapanther: (10)

[personal profile] marryapanther 2018-05-23 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Hooray! You did it!]

... What does. Any of that mean?

[... Or not. Absolutely none of this terminology is commonplace in the jungle.]
dothebackslide: (Hark! The Dover Boys!)

[personal profile] dothebackslide 2018-05-23 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
ITS MY THING. I LIKE DOING IT.
hallotween: (yeah)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-05-23 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, do you think he's real? I mean, every other movie we've seen, the people in it end up being real... He could be like Rod or the others.
lusito: (show me your best set)

[personal profile] lusito 2018-05-23 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
No one ever really is. It's only a matter of whether you accept the verdict, or fight against it, depending on who you ask.

[There's a pause, as he slides back into a more relaxed position, chin propped on his hand here against the arm rest. A slight attempt at a subject change before certain memories attempt to escape and affect the room here...]

Normally, you can hear the heart and soul of the city itself beating within this room. Or at least the Composer can, seeing as their very being is what gives shape to it.

[But it's dead silent here. Even to Joshua too.]
hallotween: (let's go down to the tennis court)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-05-23 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah! [read: no] But, that would be too obvious. I don't wanna get caught.

[she's being sneaky af rn right]
whatarenext: (Did I leave it in the cold?)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-23 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Absolutely depressed and defeated:]

They have sex, okay?

Do you feel any better? The Pandora's box is open and we can't unshut it now.
whatarenext: (Cause it's not yours to take)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-23 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, let me start again:

I picked a flower that gave me feelings where I suddenly care and because of that I fell.
whatarenext: (There's blood on the floor)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Have you tried them? They're just...so disgusting and oddly compelling at the same time.

It's like watching the Resident Evil films.
