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:

[DI]

[Wendy was excited to check out the festival from the moment she heard about what an "Imagineer" was.

She strolls slowly down the rainbow corridor under a calm green light, takes pot-shots at the coloring book and goes entirely off script to create... either a muffin or an explosion cloud.

And you can bet that she's sitting through Captain Eo at least once. It gets even better on the second time around.
]

Man, if that guy were with us, we'd have gotten out a lot sooner.

[DII]

[Other people have probably used the Dreamscape Room to create vivid images of what they desired most, or maybe just recreations of their favorite places and people. Wendy is in the latter group, and anyone that walks into the room will find that she's set it up in a way only she would.

The surroundings are... a little uneasy but it's a nice day in Gravity Falls, perfect for laying in the grass, which she's doing right now. Alone. Just watching the clouds, clutching a worn brown lumberjack hat in her hands.
]

[DIII]

[The flowers were a mistake, right from the start. Not that Wendy knew that at the time though. All she did was pick a few of the brighter flowers, and now her chest was swelling with feelings, good ones despite it all. Passion, love... it's a wonderful combination that makes her want to walk up to the nearest person and just start talking.]

Dude! Have I ever told you about Karolina? Because she's great!

[PII]

[There's a girl trying to make off with the ball pit when no one's looking.

It's heavier than it looks, sufficed to say.

[Might be heavy because a hack fraud is still trying to nap in it.]
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh! C'mon! What's in this thing, a dead body?

[looks]

Oh. Uh, hey, dude?
whatarenext: (There's blood on the floor)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-22 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
No that's what I am. A dead body.

I'm already dead inside.
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
...So like, everything alright? Wait, I shouldn't be asking that, look where I am.
whatarenext: (When sitting here)

[personal profile] whatarenext 2018-05-22 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, just coping with...this. And not being able to give my opinions on movies online anymore.

On second thought, it could be the ten chumsticks I ate. I kept eating them oh god. Why didn't I stop myself.
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?
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.
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-06-03 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure if I've ever seen those movies. [Or if they exist in Gravity Falls, at least under that name.]

Hey, do you think you'll be moving soon? Like, out of this pool?

itsthecount: (004)

DIII, emeto mention?

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-05-21 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Is she also an obnoxious teenager that will make me want to barf?

[hi wendy!]
kindaruledatit: (I always kind  of knew)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, hell with it. She's too excited right now to want to ignore Jerry Mander. It feels good being this in love.]

No, dude! She's amazing. I mean, she's a teen like me, but she's also an alien from space that turns into a rainbow.

[She looks down at the flowers in her hands, smiling to herself.]

She can also fly, which is always cool.
hallotween: (when I look out my window)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-05-22 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think singing would've solved the problem? Musical numbers always seemed to end with people dying. [shes dubious of this]
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-22 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
...When someone started singing during the killing game I was in, it was a huge yodeling guy trying to freeze us in place so they could get us to stab ourselves.

[hm]

Actually, yeah, no. Singing does lead to people getting hurt.
Edited 2018-05-22 04:30 (UTC)
hallotween: (but my head's filling up fast)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-05-22 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, only villains get musical numbers.

... Still a nice movie, though. [SHE FEELS BAD SHE JUST KINDA SHIT ON EVERYTHING]
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.]
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.
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-06-03 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hell if I know. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he just jumped off the screen at us, right now.

[Pauses, turns to the screen.



Nothing.
]

Anyway, if he's like Rod and the others, then he's probably in Hollywood Studios somewhere.

FIRST TIME DOING A STEAL, HUH.

[Why does he always show up like this.]
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: (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.
dothebackslide: (Hark! The Dover Boys!)

[personal profile] dothebackslide 2018-05-23 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
ITS MY THING. I LIKE DOING IT.
kindaruledatit: (What is blanchin?!)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-06-03 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Well your thing is freaking annoying!

[And also making it impossible for her to make off with this ballpit in silence.]
dothebackslide: (A runabout you say?)

[personal profile] dothebackslide 2018-06-03 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
SO ITS WORKING.
kindaruledatit: (OOOOOOHHHHH)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-06-03 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It is!

[She tosses a ball from the pit at him. Gotta lighten this load.]
