"Happy. Happy. Fun World. Good god. It sounds like bad engrish gone amuck," Mindy mumbled to herself. "Oh well. I've done my training for the past few days. I guess I DID tell Morgan I'd relax."

That, and she could use this opportunity to maybe go somewhere with Ruffnut. It was CALLED Happy happy fun world. Maybe it was like Coney Island? They could find something to do together.

She started getting ready.

...

"Wait, what was that about popcorn?"

[ruffntumblenut.livejournal.com]

"What's popcorn?" Ruff seemed to materialize out of thin air behind Mindy in one of those rare occasions where the trained assassin didn't hear her coming.

[colorfulworld]

"...Happy Happy Fun World?" It reminded Aftran of that cartoon Karen's parents never let her watch, and that annoyingly addictive song, "Happy Happy Joy Joy".

"That sounds like fun! Have you ever heard of it?" Standing beside Aftran, Karen tugged on her sleeve and looked up.

Aftran glanced down at the smaller girl. "Not until today." She wanted to warn Karen to keep her guard up, but she honestly didn't have the heart to hurt the girl's feelings these days. Not after all she'd been through.

Besides, Stacy had said it was shore leave...

[chosenfamily]

"With a name like that, it has to be fun, right?" Sam walked up behind Aftran and Karen, smiling. It was a little strained, honestly, because...well, he didn't trust a name like that. It wasn't that he was paranoid. It was just that there'd been too much out to get them since they'd woken up on this ship.

He hid the misgivings and grinned down at Karen. "What do you think, kiddo?"

[hi_there_aliens]

"That can't be what it's really called." Daniel muttered. He took of his glasses, cleaned them, and checked again. The words didn't change. Happy Happy Fun World blazed proudly on the screens, followed by miscellaneous information on the planet. Maybe Stacy's screens malfunctioned. At least, he hoped so, because who named their homeworld that kind of name.

Still, another shore leave, and another chance to get out, stretch his legs without an actual mission. Beggars couldn't be choosers.

[valaunbound]

"Well it's more descriptive than P3X blah blah blah," chirped in Vala behind him, her arm coming to rest casually on Daniel's shoulder.

"Personally, I think it sounds fabulous."

[gunspluscells.livejournal.com]

"You have got to be kidding me."

Aya was just staring at one of the screens in utter disbelief.

"Who names a planet 'Happy Happy Fun World'?" she protested, folding her arms over her chest. "And popcorn? This is some kind of joke, right? I get half the people I meet saying that being on this ship is dangerous and then I get told about... about... POPCORN being the most dangerous thing I have to encounter right off the bad?"

She isn't a happy one.

[potentialmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Lady, It's shore leave. It's not supposed to sound dangerous. But the first time we had shore leave was the first time we faced the Ohm, and last time we had it people's ages started being reversed towards non-existence. So if this one ends up being stress free? It'll be a freakin' miracle"

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

"That is pretty dumb name..." Jr. agreed. But, sorry Aya, the rest of this sounded awesome.

"But hey! It's basically shore leave! It's been a while since we got a relax."

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

Splicer takes a long drag from nearby before making the cigarette get consumed in a small blaze.

"Sometimes we're lucky, and we get a nice shore leave with no danger or mishaps and shit. I for one am looking forward to a bit of down time on a planet and not have swarms of enemies covering it."

Not only now, but even back in his world, it was a common enough thing for him.

He finally turned from the screen and smiled at her. "You could always stay on board, though I'd suggest against it. We don't get these often and it's never a bad thing to relax and such in a different environment."

Granted, he knew that she just arrived recently, but this planet would surely be different from her own.

[animus-vessel.livejournal.com]

Shion is staring at a nearby screen, also somewhat in disbelief at the name. It sounded more like kids had named it.

"If it's a joke, it's not a very funny one. I wonder if it's a malfunction..."

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

Atom loved amusement parks! Except when he was sold to them, that wasn't so great.

"Sounds like a nice place."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"It does, doesn't it?" Sasami said, having watched the whole thing.

"I wonder if it'll be better than Awesome World..."

[punchedoutdestiny]

"...what kind of planet is this?" Man what the heck is an amusement park? Simon don't know.

[morphitudinous]

"A dangerous one, no doubt," Billy said grouchily. "No mission ever seems to go well for us, no matter how innocuous it appears at first."

He was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[supersonicracer.livejournal.com]

Sonic couldn't believe his ears. An amusement park planet? Part of him wanted to know if this was some sort of Eggman trap (hey, he could do it!), but thought otherwise. Who knew? Maybe it would be a lot of fun.

And he might be able to spend a lot more time there, unlike Casino Night Zone. And Carnival Night. And Casinopolis. And Twinkle Park. And...

[dhianeila.livejournal.com]

It was a great way to relax after the stress that had been Lirath, Dhianeila thought. She stood alongside the rest of the crew on the Obs Deck, though as usual, she wasn't actually there but there via her psychic projection. And much like the Obs Deck, the planet's sights would also be filled with crowds, so she had just planned to enjoy it that way.

"That's quite a cute name!"

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"That's one way to look at it." Zouichi glanced over at Dhianeila's projection. "Well... at any rate, I'm sure everyone here could use a break."

[animus-vessel.livejournal.com]

Shion stood in front of one of the screens, her glasses on and somewhat curious about the planet.

Plus shore leave would be nice. Though she loved being on ships, being on an actual planet would be great. She had never heard of 'Happy Happy Fun World', but maybe it would be possible to recognize some nearby stars.

But... "Pink with white clouds?" Really?

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, well, there's stranger places out there," commented Jamie, as he walked up to stand next to Shion. Tucking his thumbs behind the belt that kept his sporran in place, he looked up as well, eyebrows disappearing into his bangs as he read the screen.

"Although I'd not say I've heard of many with a name such as that." He glanced over and gave her a curious look. "Would it be your first time on a mission, then?"

[iceiceprincess]

"What is this stupid name for a planet?" Pram asked, particularly to no one, as she rolled her eyes. So much for looking forward to getting off this ship for a bit.

[volatile-vespa.livejournal.com]

"Happy Happy Fun World? With pink skies? That sounds rather trippy to me." Janet raised an eyebrow as she read the planet's statistics. Maybe she was in disbelief as the very first place Hank took her to was an amusement park in the sensoriums.

She really could not believe the coincidence that she would be visiting another theme park so soon.

[thisclinchesit]

A theme-park planet? Hoo boy... Nothing ever goes well in theme parks when you're a Kamen Rider. "Got a bad feeling about this..."

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

"Stay where there are people," Ren warned, remembering the chaos that had resulted from stumbling on the Melting Clock. "Find a map instead of asking for directions. Just stay on-guard."

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

"...seriously? Happy Happy Fun World? Just what kind of a joke is this?"

Well, someone is clearly unamused and a bit weirded out by this events, as the raven-haired boy could be seen grumbling about this new change of events.

[swordofdorn.livejournal.com]

"A paradise world. I've never been."

Erhart manages to look disappointed inside his armor somehow. "I doubt war will call us here."

[battorch]

Seriously?

Tim wasn't sure he believed it. If he did, he certainly didn't trust it. Just because of the name alone, he was almost certain he was going to dislike this trip.

[misschocolover.livejournal.com]

Megan? Excited. SO excited. Bouncing and grinning excited. Happy Happy Fun World cannot POSSIBLY be bad!

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

Xander glanced up with interest, and then commented, "I'm guessing 'Do not taunt Happy Happy Fun World' goes without saying?"

Still it might be fun, or it might be horribly horribly wrong with spooky carnival deaths. Worse, clowns.

[greenmateria.livejournal.com]

This place sounded like the Gold Saucer to Aerith, and even after only just arriving she felt a little excited.

It'd be strange, but still nice, to see another world. Especially one that promised some fun.

Still..."Happy Happy Fun World," she mused to herself. The name left a lot to be desired, but she wasn't picky. If it lived up to it's name, she was happy with that.
