Pleasure Island? But the law--!

[keybearer]

[He came across it by chance. Really, he never would've seen it coming. This world... even now, he still feels a lingering sense of guilt over what happened there.

From the cheery carnival to its more questionable attractions, there's something a bit unsettling about the place.

Sure, it's got plenty of food, rides, and even a tavern with a pool table, but there's something... off about it. Was that a shadow in the corner of your eye? Nawww, must be seeing things.

Either way, Riku's wandering around with his Keyblade drawn. He'll be all over the place, but mostly hanging by the entrance gate with a look of horror on his face.]

...Can't believe it's actually here.

[ooc: Explanation? This is the Pleasure Island from his 'verse, basically. There be Neoshadows lurking, but finding them? Totally optional.]

[skybright]

Whoa.

[she's just entering the place, eyes wide as she looks around. she's never seen anything like this while traveling.]

[keybearer]

That's one way to put it.

[He still doesn't buy it, though. Sure the rides look fun, and the food smells good, but... hah. There's always a catch.]

[skybright]

Huh?

[Sora looks over, distracted from the... well, everything.]

[keybearer]

This whole place. It's something alright.

[He glances around real quick.]

I've got some experience with it.

[skybright]

So it's from your universe?

[keybearer]

[He nods.]

Yeah, it was one of the first worlds I visited.

[Technically the fifth, but.]

[skybright]

That's so cool!

[...yeah, she has no idea what this place is really like, clearly.]

[keybearer]

See, that's what I thought at first. When the Gummi Ship's radar kept going off about "heavy darkness readings" I figured it was just a malfunction.

[Oh, Sora. You poor, poor gal. So clueless about PI's true nature.]

[skybright]

Oh.

[she takes a good long look again, spreading her still rather untrained senses. now that she's stopping and looking at the place in a new light, she can't believe she didn't see it when she first came in.]

[keybearer]

It's hard to believe at first glance, so I can't blame you. Trust me, if I hadn't caught on to what was happening behind the scenes, I never would've guessed.

[But the fact that kids were allowed to smoke, drink, and make fools out of themselves... augh.]

[skybright]

What was happening behind the scenes?

[keybearer]

Plenty. Kids got baited to hang around with free food, no rules, and plenty of tobacco and liquor. The whole place encouraged bad behavior.

[He groans.]

And there was a nasty catch to go with it.

[skybright]

[her nose scrunches at the mention of tobacco and liquor.]

Why would anyone want that stuff? And what was the catch?

[keybearer]

They turned into donkeys.

[Short, sweet, to the point.]

[skybright]

Wait... what?
