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.
(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.

(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.
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!

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.

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.

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

no subject
[That guy from earlier...Which was a good sign if she was already calming down and not in a state of panic. Or kicking someone with her boots. In fact, she was trusting enough to gaze at something else for a moment. The stickers.]
I seem to be having some kind of deja vu. Vaguely getting a memory of a slogan “Not my Mayor” coming up.
[She didn’t think it took a genius to figure it out. Based on old conversations.]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
Well, she didn't feel bad to be kinda indirectly involved. She ddn't NOW anyway.]
I never saw anything. You're completely innocent.
[Fighting the good fight, as far as Daria was concerned...she had this stranger's back on this one. Her very tight knit moral fiber felt this was right, and her sour but strong armor was hard to crack on that.]
One might say someone was cheeky enough to actually go the distance with something important, but for the life of me I couldn't recall what that was.
[Who's cheeky?]
no subject
I wouldn't know what you're referring to.
