A brightly-colored 'world' of balloons, mascots, rides, and glittery lights, Gold Planet was ever loud and ever entertaining. It was home to any number of typical attractions. Haunted houses, gondola rides, the Tunnel of Love, roller coasters, funnel cake, mirror houses, tacky T-shirts, and more! Of course, there was also the ever-popular Pecoco racetrack, home to large, colorful birds that could be bet upon and ridden.

[Any kinds of typical amusement park stuff!]

Following the battle on Lirath, it seemed that six people had disappeared and was missing through a lot of the stuff afterwards, such as Superman's funeral. Over the rooftops of the City, a portal opened up and spat out six people as if it wanted to be a practical joker.

In quick succession, some of those six sprang into action so that they didn't end up going splat on the floor. Young mages Vivio Takamachi and Sakura Kinomoto used their flying spells to stop their fall, Sonic the Hedgehog gathered the still bruised and battered body of Sasami Masaki Jurai and used some of the rooftops to bounce to the bottom. Finally, the elder Spider-Man used a number of web lines to catch himself and the other with him, the long missing Lowe Guele.

"Sheesh, can't even catch a break without being slung into some other mess!" Sonic griped, setting Sasami to her feet.

"Sounds like you guys had a real blast." Lowe said as Spidey sat him down.

"It's... a long story." Vivio said, returning to her child form.

"Right now... I think a bit of rest'll do us good." Sasami said.

(OoC: I'll set up individual posts so you can tag into any of my guys if you want to!

EDIT: Take your pick! I'll have Lowe's up once his journal's reapproved)

Clothes? Check. A place to stay? Check. Full deck of cards?

...wait a moment.

In the park within the City, Sakura was busy shuffling through the deck of cards, slightly in a bit of a panic. In design, they looked like tarot cards, but on the face were different creatures of sorts, each bearing names like "The Windy" and "The Jump" and "The Shadow".

"...16...17...18..." Sakura uttered and stopped as she got back to the first card. "...where's Erase? I-I know I didn't drop it. Ohh, if I lost it, Kero-chan's gonna kill me!" She could see it now: the little plushie lion jumping down her throat because of it. Perhaps it wasn't lost, but more somewhere else on the ship? Sakura hung her head at that. "The ship's too huge, I'll never find it that way...!"

Right now, though, other problems were at hand. Like the state of her magic. If she didn't have access to her magic, what good were her cards?

With a deep breath, she removed the necklace holding the strange pendant and held it out, a magic circle forming under her. "Key that hides the power of the stars, show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. Release! " On cue, the pendant glowed and started to expand, showing its true form - a staff bearing a star enclosed in a circle on its head, small wings to its sides. "I-It works!" Taking the staff in hand, she looked towards her cards. "Let's see..."

...

About an hour (give or take a few minutes) later, the area around Sakura has changed a little bit - a few extra trees due to The Wood, a lot of flowers thanks to The Flower and resting under one of those tress were two Sakuras, one of them actually The Mirror in disguise.
