[Have Rapunzel seemingly in the air, grin wide on her face and ecstatic~ despite the rain. And then whatever she's on moves again and the familiar structure of the Ferris wheel appears.

And keeps moving.

She lets out a squeal of happiness.]Guys! This is so cool! The park, it's moving again! And the food...! Oh, the food is delicious! You've got

The fuck is going on here?

[foundanewdream]

The amusement park! It was ruined when Mikk walked through it weeks ago but it's working now. [Gringringrin.] You should come!

[Voice]

[angryaffliction]

I noticed.

How the fuck is it working? Two seconds ago it was a wasteland.

[Voice]

[foundanewdream]

But it's been working for all day. I've been watching it from my room.

[So, Allen's spent the past few days quietly waiting for the other shoe to drop. After last month's reprieve, he won't put it past Libitina to slam them with something particularly hideous this week. As luck will have it, he's busy fighting with a can of food when the broadcast begins, those few seconds spent trading that for his PDA just long enough for him to miss seeing the start of the feed. It doesn't keep him from hearing Rapunzel's squeal of what he presumes to be distress, though.]

[ talking before he has even picked up properly: ] -iss Rapunzel! Is everything-

-"cool"?

[What is going on here.

The park was nothing more than a husk just the other day, there's no way it can be doing much of anything besides adding to the desolate landscape.]

[Then she mentions food, drawing an answering rumble from Allen's stomach. It's a pathetic, forlorn thing nowhere like the monster of a growl it used to be, and he just... Sets the PDA down, hand covering the screen because oh my god, it's finally happening, isn't it.

He's gone hungry for so long he's hallucinating those food stands back to life.]

[But! That doesn't explain why Miss Rapunzel and an entire working ferris wheel are part of it, so he lifts the device again, peering at what little he can see in the background of her feed.

...

Everything's functioning. Rides, lights, food, everything. Shame they couldn't have cleared out some of those tents to accommodate more food stands, but all things considered, this is still-]

[astheteaseturns]

...The park's operational?

[Video]

[foundanewdream]

[A few happy nods.] It seems like it, Mikk! You should come and enjoy it with me!

[Video]

[astheteaseturns]

I'll be on my way then, love.

[She did sound a bit Rhode-ish right there. Sorry.]

Could you make sure Alma doesn't rush? I don't want him to slip.

[theloneheir]

...It works?

[foundanewdream]

Yeah! I'm not sure how or...why, really. But it's working and the food is really goo-- [Breaks off. Suspicious peering.] Are you new?

[theloneheir]

No, I'm not. [Keep talking, woman! :T]

[foundanewdream]

[OI]

I don't think I've met you then. I'm Rapunzel. [Grins]

[video]

[adreamminealone]

It really works?

[video]

[foundanewdream]

Yeah! I was surprised too when I saw it out the window this morning. But you've got to come, Ruca, the food is so good and the rides are incredible!

[video]

[adreamminealone]

...Really?

[this is suspicious. Too suspicious.]

Are you sure it's... okay?

[video]

[foundanewdream]

It's perfectly fine! [She doesn't understand the skepticism.] I've been out here for hours and nothing has gone wrong.
