Upcoming Event: Disney Weekend

[defenderofdesmoines]

Or 'Children's Movie Weekend,' or 'Fairytale Weekend,' or 'G-Rated Weekend' or...look, I went through a lot of names before settling on 'Disney Weekend' but, like, this isn't a licensing thing so much as a 'ubiquitousness of Disney movies' thing. ANYWAY. I GOT MORE CRACK FOR Y'ALL.

Next weekend (January 23-24), the island will be hit with a wave of something that makes all participating characters act like they are in a children's movie, with all the associated tropes.

Maybe little birds help your character get dressed in the morning! Do you have a pet? Cool, maybe it either talks or can use very expressive sign language, now. Maybe you're a lost princess! Maybe you're actually evil, and want to make a coat out of dogs or something similarly over-the-top terrible. Maybe you're on a quest to save your village! Maybe your wishes have power. Maybe you keep singing when you meant to just talk, because you're in a musical now.

There are a few rules, which I am cutting to save the flist:

Characters' situations are up to their players, and anyone affected by the weekend will believe all these situations are true.

If the owner of a place wants to change it for the weekend, they can.

If your character is affected by the weekend, they can't be normal again midway through, and vice versa.

Anything that would bring NPCs to the island is off-limits, but you can transform your existing NPCs (pets, children, Tino) at will.

Everyone will wake up Monday totally normal, all the places will go back to normal, and everyone will remember every detail of the weekend.

If you choose to participate, your character cannot have sex, cannot use drugs or drink alcohol, or use foul language next weekend. They don't even want to. Maybe they get to chastely kiss someone on Sunday, though, at the 'end of the movie.'

Yes I stole most of these rules from when you guys did tropes weekend, which I am really sad to have missed.

DONE SPAMMING THE FLIST NOW, EVERYONE.

A) OH MY GOD AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B) If your character is affected by the weekend, they can't be normal again midway through, and vice versa. <-- what if your character decides to troll people by FAKING they've been affected mid-way through the weekend? Is that cool?

Is the creepy abandoned mansion HAUNTED?
MAYBE WITH A CHAMBER WITH NO WINDOWS AND NO DOORS?
WILL THERE BE SINGING GHOSTS?

[throughaphase]

So I've decided Caritas has to be the local tavern where any Gaston-types will have plenty of backup to sing about them.

I hope you can picture the "living embodiment of the hearteyes emoji" face I am making right now.

Ok so I saw this on the calendar and went "EXCUSE me how could anyone POSSIBLY plan a Disney weekend and not TELL me" but I'll allow it.

Re: OOC [1/15]

[defenderofdesmoines]

I sent this in at the same time as ponies so THERE WAS NO BELLE THEN OMG OR I WOULD HAVE FOR SURE CLEARED IT WITH YOU but also Belle is the ORIGINAL adventure outfit vs. fancy outfit princess, y'all.

Re: OOC [1/15]

[noonedecidesmyfate]

No no I just meant I am the resident GIANT DISNEY NERD and I kept looking at it going "what does this meeeeeean"

Re: OOC [1/15]

[defenderofdesmoines]

[hatesparadise]

The the rickshaws only play It's A Small World?

Re: OOC [1/15]

[throughaphase]

Omg can the rickshaws be on tracks like rides? They don't take you very far though. Largely in circles.

Re: OOC [1/15]

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Yesssss.
Will there still manage to be a chase and crash though? PLEASE?

Re: OOC [1/15]

[hatesparadise]

Challenge accepted.

[grenadesandohana]

Re: OOC [1/15]

[toottootmagicflute]

Churros in all the flavors.

Every Flavor Churros?

Re: OOC [1/15]

[stykera]

Oh, fond memories of the Disneyland day of "Ride a ride, eat a churro, ride a ride, eat a different churro."

Which was, I think, the same as the Disneyland day when the CM was telling the story about punching someone in the face and yelling "welcome to Coruscant!"

Re: OOC [1/15]

[toottootmagicflute]

I think we enjoyed that more than the kids did.
