So come on and take my hand, to that special place {OPEN}

Who: The homies (Aisha, Levi, and whoever else gets pulled along)
When: post-Lasker Intro Log
Where: Dunyaland \o/
What: "To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. ~~Disney~~ Dunyaland is your land." A group outing to the happiest place in Blanc
Rating: Should be PG-13 for language at worst

[Who's idea this was, how it happened, was irrelevant. The point was, they had arrived at the entrance of the much-beloved Dunyaland. Not for a job, or for the glory of the country they worked for. Just for themselves.

Just to have a good time.

(Or just because some well-meaning friend had dragged them there.)]

{OOC: Pictures are not canonically what Dunyaland looks like I just did my best to get the right vibe. ~~(PLEASE DO NOT TAG IN UNTIL THE LOCATIONS ARE POSTED.)~~ Done, post away! This is an party-style log, so tag whoever you'd like. If you want to lock a thread, post it in the header, and if a thread goes into the higher ratings please put that in the header and let me know (by PM or by pinging

[Get high or get low! Take a ride on the Waves of Leviathan or check out some history with the horror ride that depicts the fall of Noir. Make sure not to eat right before, and bring a friend or two.

Or ride with that stranger behind you in line, it's all good.]

[ It's too bad the age of steampunk cameras hasn't quite adapted to the practice of candid rollercoaster photos. If it had, everyone could see the delighted look that came upon Levi's face at the steepest of its twists and turns.

Though if you weren't riding alongside him in the carriage, perhaps you can still make some sense of the vacant look on his face at the exit. Some of his hair is standing slightly on end. ]

... Not bad.

[She's pretty sure that seeing Levi's face was more the highlight of this entire ride.

And how he just...ended up being really chill over it after, despite his messed u phair.]

They...ah. [DAMMIT SHE WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO THE RIDE FOR ONCE.] Really did go all out. [Did they???]

[ Maybe this isn't so new to her... she did talk about other advanced technology she was pretty familiar with, back when they'd talked about their own worlds in that tea shop. The way she looks at him makes him acutely aware of that dissonance—although he can't seem to muster embarrassment for that when this ride, well, was the way it was.

He brushes some hair back into place, turning back to stare up at the daunting support structure. ]

I want to know more.

Oh? Might be worth a try, then! You up for another?

[Yep, serious question. And yes, he'd seen and interpreted that expression and knew exactly what it meant. Only made him want to drag the poor guy out for more!]

[ He can't really pretend that wasn't exactly where he was going to end up once he fully processed it. That said, he does manage to look nonchalant about the whole thing, even if his intrigue isn't hard to figure out. ]

I'm not saying no. [ Looking at the line over on the other side of the queue though, he first has to consider one thing. ] You think there's a shoo-in for Heroes around here?

[ ... Never thought he'd see the day where he was milking that annoying distinction for personal gain. But there you have it. ]

Well, we could always just flash our rank patches and ask...

[But he said it with a grin. He hadn't anticipated the other man being so quick to agree, even if that intrigue was blatantly obvious.]

If not, we could always get some snacks for the wait!

[Because food. And possibly making friends? Puppy eyes, here.]

[ Nooo. What an opportunity missed... Even Setsuna would've been surprised to see Levi's face like that. He always came across as fearless, and technically maybe he is. But that's exactly why it's interesting.

Unfortunately, Setsuna is clocking in work hours as a mascot today. When there's chances to make more colle, he wouldn't hesitate to take it instead of wasting his day away. So once Levi exits the roller coaster, Setsuna— er, Super Box hands him a complimentary gift (a small keychain of a Dunyaland mascot). It's something handed out to Dunyaland's guests.

But luckily, that is the last from the basket that he has. After Levi accepts the gift, it marks the start of Setsuna's lunch break. And that means he can speak until his shift starts again. He makes sure that no one's looking first though, not wanting to ruin the image for any Super Box fan. ]

Levi...

[ It hadn't scared him... in fact, it was probably more like the opposite. Though once he stops being awed by the experience, the first thought that comes to mind is the technology devoted to what chalks up to basic screwing around. Before Caissa's trains, he'd never seen a transportation system so fast outside of the maneuvering gear—and that wasn't so practical for moving goods.

A bit of a digression though. The rollercoaster was surprising enough; he didn't expect one of those silly-looking people in costumes to come up to him. (Hey, they're not... really thinking that he's just a brat, right? If he had a colle piece for every time that's happened!) Accepting the keychain, with a look like he's still trying to figure out what the point of this all is, he's just giving it a quick look over when...

Ah. It talked. He knew there was a person in there, but - ]

S-Setsuna? [ He didn't know it would be a person he actually knew. ]

Don't tell me... this is some kind of paying gig.

[ Levi... Why are you so cute. Maybe that's why the other mascots thought he's a kid, hehe.

Once Levi addresses the correct name, the mascot head visibly nods. As much as Setsuna wants to take it off, it's actually more embarrassing to walk around without it on. Besides, they might run into more fans on the way... The young Meister have to deal with it for a while longer. It doesn't look like it, but he did sigh a little. ]

It has been a while. I am glad that you seem well.

[ Paying gig, though... He can't deny it. ]

Yes. It is a handful, [ trying to be IC as Super Box, posing for hardcore fans, dealing with hyper kids— ] but it is not too bad.

[ Setsuna, no.......

But well, he supposes he can understand the need to take less than ideal jobs. He's done it himself, because of their few opportunities to make a decent wage in their position. Nonetheless, he's not quite sure he could've stooped this far. As Levi really takes in the look of the costume, he thinks Setsuna is truly a person of stronger moral fiber than him—and respectfully pockets the keychain.

Though maybe he really shouldn't, because he wants to kvetch about the idea even just thinking about it. Kids, action hero fans...! ]

Now that's hard to believe... but I hope it's true, for your sorry sake. [ ... ] A few of the younger Heroes thought it'd be a great idea to visit this place. [ And he liked the rollercoaster, yes, but— ] Everything's so damn sticky.

[ Asuna, meanwhile, is clutching to a railing with a white-knuckled grip in an attempt to keep her stomach under control.

She likes going fast, she's Sanic, but all those twists and loops and quick turns has left her pale in the face and she has made no attempts at fixing her hair that's very, very windblown. Her knees are weak too. ]

I think I will be riding the Ferris Wheel for the rest of the day.

[ MUCH MORE CHILL ]

[ True, the Waves of Leviathan's twisty, loopy path isn't exactly a friend to sensitive stomachs. To be honest, Levi should be more susceptible these days, given the dampening of certain blood inherent resistances (—aka Ackerman super genes), but he has yet to really notice the difference. Ranking up early goes a long way.

... But as for other people, like Asuna. Ah, she looks very pale, and instinctively, he forgets that moment of awe he was having to stand closer. ]

Yeah, no kidding. I think you really should sit down.

I-I'm fine.

[ Not fine. As her grip tightens on the railing once she feels her stomach practically protest at her own protest, lurching uncomfortably. If she was actually trapped in a video game like she had thought at the beginning, then she hates the person that programmed motion sickness.

This probably isn't a game though. She doesn't want it to be...

DEEP BREATH and she's stubbornly staying on her feet. ]

You enjoy rides like this, Levi-san?

[If it looks like a kelpie and rides like a dream, it's gotta be a bumper car! Ram each other hard, show no mercy! Settle old scores or just have a good time, but don't get too reckless. We're all friends here.

Right?

Right?

[Take a load off your feet and enjoy the views from the Lasker Flyer. You may not be able to see your house from here, but a great view is assured. It's a great time to shoot the breeze with whoever you end up, but be sure not to rock the car too hard. You aren't the Flyer, are you?

Is that a girl's singing you hear? Your car just might be haunted, good luck with that! At least she's in tune.]

[The line for this ride is ridiculously long, Aisha's almost out of cotton candy by the time she gets to the front of it. She'd been prepared to ride it by herself, but the way everything got shuffled with everyone else trying to ride with their friends means she ends up at the mercy of fate.

Hopping in the car makes it swing, and she settles, waiting for whoever's coming to get in already.

[Who knows if she's been on the Flyer before, all Vietnam knows is that somehow, during all this weird shuffling, she has been strangely caught into a line and shoved into a car. Mystery!

Except it's not a stranger she's with, it's Aisha, and her eyes widen.]

Oh! Hello again! [They probably saw each other like 2 minutes ago. But now they have some peace and quiet for GOSSIP.]

[ He tilts his head up to look at the massive Flyer. It isn't anything that he recalls seeing before. There is some hesitation in even thinking of going into the car. But -- the line to reach it has been long and he cannot allow a little thing like nerves stop him, right?

He takes a deep breath before stepping into the car. And he immediately brings his legs up to hug them to his chest. Right. Right. It may take him a second to get comfortable but there is room for someone else to accompany the nervous doctor. ]

[Yes. Of course this is here. Yep.

Hop in the matagot-shaped boat with your sweetie(s) or favorite fellow hero and enjoy the ride. Romantic music by the best musicians in Lasker plays through a peaceful, well-lit journey.

You might be thirsty, but try not to fall in the water if you go in for a kiss. That's not smooth at all.

[Shunsui had sort of simply fallen into step when he's spotted them, and luckily, he and Aisha were on good enough terms that no one had thought to turn him away. Which was good, because he now stood at the loading area for the boats at the Tunnel of Love, his hair loose and a genuine smile on his face.]

Might anyone be willing to accompany an old lonely soul like myself?

[Romantic but utterly terrible romantic poetry is sure to follow. He guarantees it.]

[Tired of riding? Be a winner, or at least try! There are all sorts of prizes and all sorts of games for any skill level. Most everyone's legit, but you know there's always the one worker running the game trying to cheat. Don't let them! Hit that hammer, pop those balloons, aim that water gun just right so you can get that plush of... you, or the person next to you? Hero life is weird, yo.

The food is plentiful too. So many fried things, so many types of pirozhki. Dunyaland hasn't escaped the cultural mix that Lasker is known for, so eat to your heart's context!

If there's anything that wasn't covered here, feel free to make it up! This is Dunyaland, nothing's stopping you from whatever brings you happiness.]

[Because sometimes, even though the ocean is right there, you just want something WILD.

And so here it is, a nice and easy waterpark you can enjoy. It boasts amazing and thrilling slides, with many loops that probably would probably make you question why these even exist. I mean, some of them whirl around like tornadoes, are these even safe? You can go with more than one person at least, because it's roomy.

But if that's too much for you, at least there are nice beachthemed pools and areas for you to leisurely play or relax at. And probably deckchairs for you to sip your cocktails--FRUIT JUICES.]
