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:

[Star closes her eyes and takes a deeeeeeeep breath. Feel that fresh... nothing!]

Yeah, it's great. I forgot everything!
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-21 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
...Uhhh, what? Star, what do you mean by that?
ilovepuppies: (Cutie Kitten Clutter Cleaners)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2018-05-21 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, everything! I mean, I still remember you and the others, but everything else? Poof! Gone.

[She flops over on her back with a contented sigh.] It's great!
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.
ilovepuppies: (Mega-Explosive Crystal Laser)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2018-05-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
No way! It's fantastic! I feel like I can finally get a whole night's sleep without any nightmares! I can't even remember what I was having nightmares about!

[This is a very healthy and sane coping method.]
kindaruledatit: (Sorry dude)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-25 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... cool, I guess.

[She settles somewhat uneasily beside Star, looking out at the white expanse of nothingness. There's nothing to focus on besides Start, that makes it difficult.]

Just be careful with memory junk, alright? I've seen it do some freaky stuff to people.
ilovepuppies: (Shimmering Crystal Seesaw)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2018-05-29 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pffft] If whatever I was trying to forget was so bad that I wanted to wipe it completely outta my head, then I think I can handle some ~freaky~ stuff!
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-06-01 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so. I guess I'd only use that for like, forgetting a bad song that gets into my head. I'm not sure if I could do without any memories.
ilovepuppies: (Man Magnet Love Storm)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2018-06-08 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, look at me, I forgot something, and I'm fine!

[Just then, there's a 'ding' signifying her turn in the room is up.]

...Aw, man.
