Party in Fantasyland! (Open to All)

[caycep]

The loading area and deck in front of It's a Small World had been transformed. Two large tables had been set up, one bearing the music equipment that Cayce had lugged over from Tomorrowland, the other marked out for food and drink. Another food table was set up at the shop.

Various other places in the vicinity had been marked out as well: a wide space for a dance floor; another wide space with a sign RESERVED FOR STARBUCK posted; a grassy area marked RESERVED FOR M. BEAUFORT; and the loading area was marked RESERVED FOR KIRA AND SETSUNA. Over the walk up to the ride, Cayce had hung a large hand-lettered banner that read:

IT'S A SMALL UNIVERSE (ALL OF THEM)

She'd raided every shop in the park for decorations, and pillars and eaves were festooned with Disneyfied representations of various cultures; there was some Mulan merchandise here, a few items ganked from the Indiana Jones Adventure there. Cayce herself felt, somewhat ruefully, that she wasn't capable of being much more than a representation of early 21st-century urban America, so she wore the dress Crowley had given her. Anyone who was expecting her to do a reprise of the bikini business would be sadly disappointed.

After Cayce felt that a critical mass of crowd had been achieved, she went to the music system and turned on the microphone.

"Hi there, everyone. It's good to see you here, and thanks for playing along with my silly party idea. It's kind of a squishy liberal American thing to say—see, I'm representing my culture now—but can I just say that it's great to see the diversity here, and to see everyone taking pride in where they come from. So, thanks. Especially to Psyche, for letting us tromp all over her home and for keeping the music under control; to Crowley as always for the booze; and to everyone who brought something to share." She started to put the mic down, then remembered: "Oh, and thank you to Kira and Setsuna, who will be starting a limbo contest shortly." She grinned. "So if you think you're up for it, see how low you can go." A self-deprecating laugh at the cheesiness of what she'd just said. "Thanks again for coming, and have fun."

((Party time! Talk amongst yourselves, hassle Cayce, get drunk and ride through It's a Small World (not recommended), and otherwise have fun. Feel free to set your post before or after Cayce's little speech.))

((ETA: Here's the limbo thread!))

Franziska usually let her whip do the shouting, so there was so chance she could out BOLD CAPS a dinosaur, and sparkle text was simply not an option. So instead, she lowered her voice and said in a very 'I am far too mature for this' tone, "Science begs to differ. And even if you had seen more episodes of Law & Order than I, Franziska von Karma, which is so foolishly unlikely as to not even be worthy of consideration, you would still not grasp the finer legal details in a debate. Additionally, it is worth noting that I never wanted you to wear my lederhosen anyway. Just take these and leave my presentation booth."

She huffily held out a handful of impeccable pamphlets with the title "Germany: A Cultural Festival So Perfect You Foolish Fools Could Never Have Anticipated It"

"" In truth, T-Rex felt mildly put out. There were few things more boring and parental than someone who wouldn't get into a screaming fest with you. ""

T-Rex actually took a pamphlet, though. Somehow. "Hey, can I suggest a new title for this?"

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

Scared? Franziska von Karma? Impossible. She might not be able to Caps as well, but she could certainly do it better.

""

"Go ahead," she added, in a more normal tone of voice. "It will be amusing how inferior to my original title your suggestion is."

[philosopher-rex.livejournal.com]

Okay, sparkly blinking text wasn't something T-Rex had figured out yet. "Hey, cool!" he said, after a pause. "H-How'd you do that?"

"I think you should call it 'The Fool Most Fool Awesome Fool Germany Fooly Fool Presentation Fool Of Fool All Fool Time Fool Forever Fool And Ever Fool And Fool None Fool Of You Foolish Fools Can Fool Even Fool Hope Fool To Fool Match Its Fool Badassness. Fools.'

I just think it sounds more natural."

"I am perfect," she replied. "And I have also been tutored extensively in voice lessons."

"Your suggestion is less foolish than anticipated," she replied, considering. "But I'd have to use much smaller font, so I think I will keep the original title."

"Suit yourself!" T-Rex said. He did finally move for her, too, although he still had no intention of wearing the lederhosen.

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

Yes, this was a battle Franziska had certainly won.

T-Rex, meanwhile, stomped off to bother somebody else. He would return to argue with visit her again, though.
