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:

Can you be nostalgic for something that never even happened? 'Cause this clearly shows the benevolent reign of Mayor Evie would've been a heck of a lot better than...

[pauses, examining a candy apple. can you eat things that aren't real. is this like the food in the underworld all over again.]

... Well, you know. Everything Plankton is.

( better eat it and find out, freddie. just don't blame evie when your sugar rush vanishes upon leaving the dreamscape room.

in the meantime, evie savors this festival while she can, sighing wistfully. also maybe holding a single finger out to freddie's lips and just. shushing her. )


Shhh. No. I don't want to think about that little sea urchin. Just soak all of this in.

I'm soaking, I'm soaking. [fuck it she's gonna eat this. maybe the cavities will be imagination too.]

I see you're adjusting pretty good to all the weirdness this place offers. It can be... a lot. [says the girl who's been sleeping under a park bench for like a week.] But, hey, if you can make it in Auradon, you can pretty much make it anywhere, right?

I get it. It's funny because you're dating a mermaid.

( or not. )

But I guess you're right. This whole election thing's kinda got me down a little bit 'cause I thought ... you know, maybe some people here know how to use their brains. ( or not, x2. ) At least I've got these five minutes of what-might-have-been — and you.

Aw! That gets me right here. Right where a heart oughta be. [taps chest] I'm sure there'll be regime change sooner rather than later. Even if someone even half-good would've gotten the job, everybody here is completely insane. Somebody'll get bored and try to burn down the mayor's office or something.

[casually breezes past any mention of Ariel like a total pro]
