In the ballroom...

[For those residents that find themselves locked in the ballroom, it's really quite a sight to see.

Balloons and streamers and cardboard hearts are strewn all about the room, hanging from the ceiling and decorating those tall, locked doors. But even if the doors won't open, it's not the worst place a person could find themselves.

If you're tired, there is a section of the ballroom where Valentine-themed blankets, pillows, beanbags and blow-up furniture spread out across the floor. The lights are somehow significantly dimmer on this side of the room, allowing for easier sleep.

Along one wall is a seemingly endless array of snack foods, candies, hors d'oeuvre, and anything else someone might want to wish up. There's plenty of room! Nearby, a chocolate fountain stands as tall as the average resident, constantly flowing with delicious chocolate for dipping. Directly beside the fountain is a very, very large chocolate chip cookie shaped like a heart. The cookie alone could feed the entire ballroom if desired. Perhaps as you approach the snack area, you'll find yourself holding a tall, cold glass of pink lemonade.

For entertainment, there is plenty of music, movies and video games to satisfy all genres. Residents are free to wish up whatever they'd like! This is all about having fun with others, after all, and Paradisa's willing to allow (almost) anything to get those bonds forming.


TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE OF THE DAY

In the center of the room is a parachute of grand proportions, colored with stripes of red, pink and white. It's rather large, and cannot be handled by just a few people.

Residents may feel encouraged to run over and help lift the parachute. If enough people can band together and start up a few parachute games, the castle will reward the ballroom.

The reward: The ceiling of the ballroom will fade away, giving the illusion of sunny skies and fluffy clouds during the day, and brilliant stars at night.]

Is this typical of celebrations, then?

Depends on what's being celebrated, I suppose. There weren't festivals and such where you come from?

Not quite. They were far and few in between.

[like weddings and the occasional village festival.]

Such yearly traditions have been lost, I'm afraid.

[a thoughtful hum; that sounds a lot like there wasn't much worth commemorating as time passed, though she doesn't voice the idea aloud]

You'll have many opportunities to make up for that here, going by what I've read. Which might be a good thing, if the castle didn't go to extremes for practically every big occasion.

At least nobody can say it is lacking festive spirit.

[This is said with a sigh.]

[eyeroll; tempted to sigh herself] More than makes up for those of us lacking in it.

Who are a great many in number, I presume.

Which invites the question of whether the castle's heavy-handed celebrations are turning people off, or if they would actually be okay were the castle not so excessive.

It most likely does not care either way.

[He can't tell with magical castles.]
