WELCOME: Welcome to Mouseland, a land of fun and joy for you and your family to mouse around! Come and explore the wonders of the Castle and discover the secrets within!
... ... ... ...
Oh. You wanted an actual introduction? Sorry. Got it.
INTRO: The name's Avery Dawson. If you haven't picked it up already, I'm a worker here in the Mouseland theme park. I stay by the Dreamland Castle, working primarily as the tour guide.
I've been working here for... What, a couple of months now? But don't be fooled by what Matt says about us employees "loving" it here. We all hate it.
But... I'm in no position to say that out loud. Especially not to him.
Other stuff, well... I'm 21 years old, birthday December 15, cishet fem (she/her), single (don't try me rn tho. I have... enough people to deal with on my plate.), uhhh I like blue and pink and hotdogs and sweets and cats and. Yeah.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Ahem. Come tour around the Castle! 📢
RULES: Basic DNI, I guess. And just be respectful. Anyone working at a job that requires talking to customers knows that respect is... Sometimes thrown off the bridge. It's a pain to deal with. So please.
TAGS: (more to be added in the future! (probably))

Hm? Weird... Is no one else around yet besides you, Matt?
Well, I guess it is still pretty early... Anyways, whAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHYY THE FUCK IS THERE AN ACTUAL LEGIT GENUINE ALIVE MOVING MOUSE IN THE BREAK ROOM MATT ?.??? MATT ..???????
- @averythemouse
(wanted to do a liiil something with the released fun facts about matt ... hope u dont mind hehe <3 -isa)
What the heck?! AVERY KILLED IT IM SCARED! You’re the brave one!
The break room was silent, all the employees on their phones or simply just staring off into space without a care in the world. No one made a peep, except for the parks mascot who was doing TikTok’s by the kitchen sink.
Suddenly, without a proper warning, Matt burst in holding a pass that read “Dinner for 2” and a logo for [insert your favorite restaurant]. “Great news! My boss said that for this months employee of the month, I get to take one of you out for dinner!” (PURELY PLATONICALLY!!)
Jett quirks a brow at the sudden exclamation from Matt, quick to nearly pop in his other earbud and ignore him... but the prospect of the dinner was very enticing. Jett ate like shit and he had the build to prove it, so actual food and not just whatever he bought at the 7/11 while stoned or raided out of Inali's pantry sounded pretty damn good. Plus, given his history, he thinks he's pretty damn deserving of it. Fuck those other bitches.
His legs swing from over the table, boots making heavy contact with the floor as he snakes his way over to Matt's side, wrapping an arm around the man's shoulder. The scent of burnt herb and chemical fog machine fluid was nothing but evident. "Heyyy, Matt. My guyyy." He drawls, grinning lazily but pointed with intent. "You remember how I'm like... Basically a non-paid mechanic slash repairman that you send to fix all the rides when they malfunction because we can't afford a real repair team? And probably alsssooo the time I showed you how to fix your bummy engine? Remember that? Just thought I'd mention. The good times really do fly..." He hums, sparing the pointed look. "And, y'know, people like us are just so... uh... underrepresented. Unappreciated. You are by far my best manager ever. Never had a reason to complain! Unlike some..." He chirps, accusation evident. He leaves out the fact that Matt is his only ever manager. It's not that relevant at the moment.
Avery can't help but roll her eyes at the tone of Jett's words and the way he eyes the other employees in the room. She knows any argument or disagreement will likely light an unpleasant spark in him, but she doesn't really care at this point. It's not anything she isn't used to anyways.
"Thank you so much for your efforts and hardwork, Jett," she says, surprisingly not at all sarcastically (despite her tone), because she knows he really is of great help in maintaining many rides of the park. "But don't go taking all the credit, will you...? Don't forget that my beloved Castle is all my work. No other soul involved."
Closing her eyes and raising a finger one after another, she begins to enumerate some of the key, unforgettable features of the Castle that couldn't originally be found there before. "The lights, sound effects, pretty colors, magically opening curtains and doors... From just a plain old house solely called a 'castle'..." she shoots a very brief, judgeful look at Matt, who turns away in slight embarrassment. "...Me and my—yes, my—programming, tech, as well as acting and speaking skills, were the ones that actually turned the Castle into a place the public can be truly fascinated by. All for free too, by the way! You're welcome~" Avery, still seated in her chair, bows her head down slightly with a forced smile.
"...Well, of course. Not to strip you of your freedom of choice, or say that nobody else is worthy of the title or anything. But I'm just saying, I wouldn't think I'm tooo far down in the list of candidates for 'Employee of the Month'... Y'know what I mean~?" Avery's eyes avert back to her phone, where they originally were. "...Plusss, a free dinner doooes sound pretty nice... Can't say I've been eating all that well recently either......" she mumbles under her breath, seemingly a thought intended only for herself.
Avery appears displeased... What could she have seen~?

Matt drags himself into the break room, looking exhausted. His hair is a mess, there’s a bunch of paint all over his face, and he currently has a bite mark on his arm. Overall, he looks like a mess.
“You guys will not believe the day I had. First I got attacked by seagulls while eating fries, then some girl spilled paint all over me, and some dog bit me! What is going on?!”
He barely noticed the figurative lightbulbs clicking over all his employees heads.
"Oh, uh. Hey matt." Lukas greeted. They looked suspicious, like they were plotting something. All of the employees were sitting around the break room table, hunched over talking before matt walked in. They stared at him, trying to seem less awkward.
"What uhm. How did that happen?" Lukas asked. He awkwardly smiled at matt, that was weird. Lukas didnt smile at matt.. at all.
Jett narrows his eyes, quirking a brow at Matt's comments. He held an ice pack to the side of his head, sleeves tattered with jagged tears along the fabric.
"The day you had, Matt?" He perks up, looking himself like he'd wrangled a wild bull and lost. Well, bulldog, to be specific. "And it just didn't occur to you that you should, I don't know, tell someone about the wild dog on the fuckin' loose? That little... thing ran through my queue and I had to wrestle that mutt to the floor! It pissed in my line! On my tracks! I do the repairs and cleaning on that y'know!?" He snaps, head throbbing from his own noise level.
"And how would a little girl even get access to our paint? Like the paint cans we keep locked in the storage rooms in the theatre?" He questions, tone flat. "You know. The ones that are meant to be locked. So there's no access to things like, for example, our paint cans." He adjusts his grip on the ice. "And maybe, I don't know, a paint spill would also cause kids to step in the spill and then— can you guess where they go? On our rides, yes." He huffs, settling back into his chair.
Ooc - Jett in a bad fuckin mood lmaoo, i assumed the episode plot was like... trying to tie matts blunders back to the employees so i gave room for that,,, yah :3
Inali, after bracing for Jetts.. quite reasonable outburst, Cranes their neck up the small bit it takes to have his head peak out from above the others from her side of the table. For someone so deadpan it almost looked like their cheek was twitching. "Jetts right. Real interestin' shade of paint . Huh Matthew." Inali's usual flatness reads more openly like he's.. perturbed?. "Real bad day,"
Raising a brow and reaching to adjust the ice in Jetts hand the smearing flecks of paint of those same hues on Matt are spattered across Inali along with a pretty hefty set of little shoe shaped bruises to their arm and jaw. "Cause. There was little girl just. Utterly covered in paint, just. All over the carousel today. Got it on a lot of the seats. The other kids too. Had Real fun having to ask them to leave." Which is to say said kid kicked him. "Far as I was aware we don't have keys to the paint closet. You do."
Avery, sitting back in her chair with her shoes up the table (it's a habit she picked up from Jett. not the best one, but it's harmless), significantly less affected compared to the others, but still visibly annoyed. "Real monsters, huh? The bulldog and the girl in paint..." she says as she eyes Jett, still glaring at Matt while seemingly holding back a wince of pain.
Suddenly, Avery reaches for her baton resting against the table, and starts waving it up in the air as she laughs. "Haha! Well, fortunately for me, I got off completely unharmed! The magic of the Castle walls protected me from those evil spirits, as they always have! Isn't it great~?"
...An awkward silence in the breakroom. Avery can feel everyone's gazes, some even angry, piercing through her soul. She immediately takes back her words, clearing her throat, and clarifies, now more deadpan, "The gates."
"I locked the Castle gates temporarily when Inali said the kid reached the Carousel, since, well, it isn't too far off."
"I diiiiidddd see some people standing outside the Castle, wondering why it was closed. Some were unhappy, but hey, I'd rather spare myself the trouble of cleaning up a possible mess if the cause were able to get in in the first place. Plus, other visitors'd be bothered too!"
"But I think we've all thought of a certain conclusion here, haven't we?" Avery eyes each of the employees, like she's seeking some silent approval. Then, baton still in hand, she points it to Matt. "None of this would've gotten so far if not for your irresponsibility and incon—.. in— uh..." she awkwardly tries to remember the word. "...inconsideration, Matt."
Matt lets out an awkward laugh, looking at Avery like she's insane. "Me?? How on earth is it my fault?"
"Matt, my guy. You're supposed to be Mouseland's manager. But considering alllll this shenanigans happened to you inside the park and you didn't even think to do anything about it—not even about the little girl—and you just let them get off loose and reach your park's rides? Several of them, might I add? Surely you get what I mean by now. I mean..."
Avery lowers her baton, the sound of it clacking against the floor echoing across the room. She takes out her phone, no longer paying any mind to anyone else in the room, as she mutters under her breath, "Your boss wouldn't be too happy about this, now, would he~?"
im really sorry for joining this episode late !! i didnt really get what to do when it first was released, and i had an odd lot of places to go this week ... but i hope this is alright :') i'll try to be more active from now !!!
"Oh, don't go scaring him like that, Lukas. The poor guy!" Avery says, but her slick smirk seems to contradict her words of sympathy. "It's not like we mere employees have the power to get you fired over one incident, so you have nothing to worry about. Most we could do is probably, hm... perhaps, get you reprimanded~?" Avery hears a frustrated noise coming from someone, and even with her eyes on her phone, hands typing away to their boss, she can just tell it was from Matt.
Her fingers hover over the letters of her keyboard, pressing each one to form her message much slower now. "...You're a nice guy, Matt." Some quiet protests from others around the table can be heard. Regardless, Avery continues. "But Mouseland's already gotten enough weird looks after... that incident at the Carousel and Manor. The least we could do to keep this place alive is protect what we can. And today, well... I'm just saying, you kinda failed that task, man!"
"...I just don't want anymore trouble, 'kay?" She shoots an odd smile to Matt, who doesn't reply with words, but a sad, yet somehow understanding, look.
When Avery's message to their boss finally gets delivered, she gets up from her seat and prepares to leave. "Welp, that's that! Better get back to w—"
Avery gets interrupted again when the employees hear sounds of chaos and commotion. Lukas and Eli react and move immediately, while the other three are frozen. Avery, experiencing an unsettling déjà vu, clasps her hands together and starts praying to... whatever god's up there. Even then, she means every, single, word. "Good lord, not again..."

Avery shrinks momentarily at the sudden interruption of Matt's voice, only to afterwards huff as she lightly slams her locker door. "Fine! Let us switch then!" she begins. "Not to be disrespectful or anything, promise, but I just don't get how your places are any more chaotic than mine. I mean—"
She first points to Jett, then to Eli, her hand's focus alternating between the two. "Okay, I guess I sort of understand you guys. Your rides are big, require a lot of tech and management stuff, and break down sometimes—" A very brief look of judgement at Matt. "But that doesn't even sound that bad! Hell, Jett's even said he likes it when his ride breaks down because then he can avoid actually working!" Avery's hands keep waving in the air, her voice heightening throughout her complaints. "The worst you guys probably deal with is shitty customers, and, be so for real. All of us get that. The entire park gets that!" Another look of judgement towards Matt before she turns to Inali.
"I'd say yours isn't all that different either. It just sounds less complicated than Eli and Jett's, but similar mechanics."
Then to Lukas, who doesn't respond with words either, but instead a sneer and eyebrow roll. "Don't even get me started on you! What on earth do you even do at your job besides press like, two buttons and sit down to watch the same three movies over and over again with the customers? PLUS, with the AC!"
Avery flops down on one of the chairs, yanking off her Mouseland headband, the ears that are barely staying on being covered by ribbons and accessories from Inali, strands of her pigtailed hair getting stuck with it. "The Castle requires social interaction, knowledge about the place's layout and story, management of customers, especially kids, who might go wandering and ruining the entire place— only for people to barely care at all about anything besides the pictures and not respecting anyone at all!"
She pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing. Then turns back to the others in the room. "Well?"
ooc: don't got much to say for now, but i hope this (+ the colors i use for each character) r alright !! i'm busy this week, but i'll try to take part in this episode. cant go missing out on the beginning of the lore !! 😸😸😸 kay gnight people
"Okay, maybe my job is easy! But that doesn't mean its not boring?!" Lukas throws his hands in the air. "Also, you have to deal with customers who dont know a thing and think theyre better than everyone else!"
He turns to eli and jett, "at least your rides are interesting! Shitty, but interesting.."
He stood up, "at least your job is visually appealing" he pointed at Avery. "All the pretty colours and design"
He turned towards the break room door, "Im leaving. This is a stupid debate. I have bad movies to show people who have massive egos."
Jett scoffs from where he's slouched in his seat, beat up shoes on the old metal table. His legs ached dully from the constant pacing that came from working the Manor.
"Oh quit your bitchin'." He groans, rubbing at his eyes. His head usually pounded with a headache when he left the Manor, the dull lighting making any kind of light seem ten times brighter. "I have hands down the hardest ride, no competition." He starts, gesturing along with his words. "Dim lights, practically roller-coaster level operation! Then all the whinin' and cryin' from these little kids and complaints from parents who didn't think it'd actually be scary? Put me out of my miseryyy..." He groans dramatically.
He brushes some hair from his eyes, then regretting the motion as it brings more light to his eyes. "Which, I guess not to say you guys don't have it rough. I'm definitely not well equipped to work with idiots and walk around some dainty Castle for hours on hours, I'll give ya that. And that big world ride... I definitely don't wanna work near water, the constant smoke machines are enough for me." He fidgets nervously at the recalling of some tragic employee deaths video he'd watched once while stoned. "And Inali... no hate to you man, but I'll die if I stay in the light anymore than I have to. Props to you though, that's a bitch of a job... besides mine."
His brow cocks at Lukas trying to flee, quick to get up and snag him by the collar. "Aaanndd where are you goin'?" He taunts, lips sharpening into a grin. "You heard the 'boss'," He uses the term sarcastically. "We get to trade, don't we? And I'm itchin' to try out the theatre." Honestly, he was more interested in the tech and tool storage. Spare parts and whatnot he was yearning to play with. Not to mention just the general setup of the booth. "So I'm callin' dibs."
Lukas stops in his tracks and scoffs, "ha! You can take the shitty theatre allllll you'd like, Jett." He smiles sourly at him. "I promise it isn't as good as you idiots think it is, have fun sitting watching the same slop all day."
He places his hands on his hips, "I want to take the castle then, it sounds fun. At least then I can mess around with the kids.. the parents at the theatre are far too ingrossed in themselves to notice aswell." He turns to @averythemouse, "what do you say, ave?" He smiles and holds out his hand. "I take the castle and you take.... whatever."
"Hm. We're really doing this, huh?" Avery eyes Eli and Inali, the only two whose rides haven't been taken yet. She contemplates for a few moments before deciding, "In that case... I'll take Inali's Carousel. AC's in my old schools were shit and we were outside a lot. I can handle the heat. Just teach me how to operate that thing, and I'll be good to go."
She turns to the two again, an eyebrow raising. "Only two rides left are Eli's and Jett's, so... looks like it's all settled!" With a clap, she begins her summary, pointing to each member at the mention of their names. "Jett's taking the cinema, Lukas's taking the Castle, I'll be at the Carousel, Inali at the Big World, and Eli at the Manor."
Finally, she turns to Matt, who, the entire time, has had his head in his hands, sighing at the chaos in front of him. "Well, boss? The plan sound good?" she asks with a teasing smile.
"Ah. As long as you're sure Avery. Please bring extra water, I'll show you how to run it. You need to check every single Seat Belt." Inali leaned down a bit, brows furrowed a bit. But not willing to push the good will towards him "Oh. Sunscreen too. Don't forget it,"
Blinking a few times, processing the full instructions Inali's mouth opens, closes, then opens again as his gaze finds Eli "You. Could you show me ropes?, Please. Since you're not doing much of a change in pace. In the manor and all." Looking to Matt, seemingly unaware of how threatening that may have come off as he raises a brow at position. "Your idea is panning out?." And Inali isn't going to turn down AC.
"Alright, cool!" Avery says with a smile as she thanks Inali. She does happen to have her own water and sunscreen, just as Inali said she needed, in her locker. She rises from her seat, approaching her locker to get her stuff. "You and Eli go deal with the Big World stuff. I'll wait in here 'til you're done, and you can show me the Carousel. Sound g—?"
Before Avery can finish her sentence, the employees hear a horrid, high-pitched shout. With eyes darting from corner to corner, and their moves suddenly becoming frantic, everyone panics. Avery and Jett seem to realize the sound came from one of the computers that shows the CCTV footage. The audio quality on it's never been the best, but simply the fact that they were all able to hear that sound so clearly is enough to spite concern.
Avery rushes to the computer, analyzing every screen in every area of the park for signs of chaos.
To her horror, she finds it.
"G-guys... the rides... the Carousel, the Manor....." Everyone's gaze turns to Avery, still frozen at the sight in front of her.
"...........They're operating on their own."
On the screen, a child that got on the Carousel, now starting on its own, faster, rougher, than any normal operation.
ooc: reading the episode summaries, i'm... not too sure if this was supposed to happen after the argument, but based on my understanding it's supposed to be during 🥲 soo hope this is alright !
also hope u guys dont mind the constant tags 💔for me this is mainly to ensure that posts are interacted with like, in chronological order iykwim :') so people can read it like an actual story
Lukas quickly moves from his position, much like the others to look att he cctv.
"G-guys... the rides... the carousel, the manor... theyre operating on their own." He hears avery mutter.
They all stare at the screens in horror, "What do we do??" Lukas asks, looking around at everyone. Crickets. They all look as confused and worried as he feels.
"W-we have to go to them.. come on!" Lukas calls, beckoning for the others to follow and he rushes from the door. He didnt seem like the one to rush about this lind of thing, his fellow employees must think hes gone crazy.
Guys can you tell idk what to write lmao🥹
This plot twist is very fun though, ooo the drama!
Avery watches Lukas as he sprints, faster than she's ever seen him, out the break room and to the Carousel, while Jett and Inali make their way to the Manor. Avery and Eli stay in the break room, keeping watch of the CCTV's and Matt jogging out to follow to the Manor.
The entire time, Avery's head is pounding. So are the others', probably.
Why is this happening? What could've happened? How could it have happened? Was this just a mistake? Did someone do this on purpose? Has Matt ever seen anything like this? Has—
Her thoughts pause.
'...Matt.'
......Why did he react so late?
Why did he go for Jett and Inali to the Manor, when the ride with a life at risk is the Carousel? Why didn't he go to assist Lukas, who barely talks to customers for the life of him?
She looks at Eli, to see if he's thinking the same thing.
With the way his eyebrows furrow and his gaze lingers at the door and Matt's stuff nearby,
Avery shrinks momentarily at the sudden interruption of Matt's voice, only to afterwards huff as she lightly slams her locker door. "Fine! Let us switch then!" she begins. "Not to be disrespectful or anything, promise, but I just don't get how your places are any more chaotic than mine. I mean—"

"I have hands down the hardest ride, no competition." He starts, gesturing along with his words. "Dim lights, practically roller-coaster level operation! Then all the whinin' and cryin' from these little kids and complaints from parents who didn't think it'd actually be scary? Put me out of my miseryyy..." He groans dramatically.
He brushes some hair from his eyes, then regretting the motion as it brings more light to his eyes. "Which, I guess not to say you guys don't have it rough. I'm definitely not well equipped to work with idiots and walk around some dainty Castle for hours on hours, I'll give ya that. And that big world ride... I definitely don't wanna work near water, the constant smoke machines are enough for me." He fidgets nervously at the recalling of some tragic employee deaths video he'd watched once while stoned. "And Inali... no hate to you man, but I'll die if I stay in the light anymore than I have to. Props to you though, that's a bitch of a job... besides mine."
His brow cocks at Lukas trying to flee, quick to get up and snag him by the collar. "Aaanndd where are you goin'?" He taunts, lips sharpening into a grin. "You heard the 'boss'," He uses the term sarcastically. "We get to trade, don't we? And I'm itchin' to try out the theatre." Honestly, he was more interested in the tech and tool storage. Spare parts and whatnot he was yearning to play with. Not to mention just the general setup of the booth. "So I'm callin' dibs."
Lukas stops in his tracks and scoffs, "ha! You can take the shitty theatre allllll you'd like, Jett." He smiles sourly at him. "I promise it isn't as good as you idiots think it is, have fun sitting watching the same slop all day."
He places his hands on his hips, "I want to take the castle then, it sounds fun. At least then I can mess around with the kids.. the parents at the theatre are far too ingrossed in themselves to notice aswell." He turns to @averythemouse, "what do you say, ave?" He smiles and holds out his hand. "I take the castle and you take.... whatever."
"Hm. We're really doing this, huh?" Avery eyes Eli and Inali, the only two whose rides haven't been taken yet. She contemplates for a few moments before deciding, "In that case... I'll take Inali's Carousel. AC's in my old schools were shit and we were outside a lot. I can handle the heat. Just teach me how to operate that thing, and I'll be good to go."
She turns to the two again, an eyebrow raising. "Only two rides left are Eli's and Jett's, so... looks like it's all settled!" With a clap, she begins her summary, pointing to each member at the mention of their names. "Jett's taking the cinema, Lukas's taking the Castle, I'll be at the Carousel, Inali at the Big World, and Eli at the Manor."
Finally, she turns to Matt, who, the entire time, has had his head in his hands, sighing at the chaos in front of him. "Well, boss? The plan sound good?" she asks with a teasing smile.
"Ah. As long as you're sure Avery. Please bring extra water, I'll show you how to run it. You need to check every single Seat Belt." Inali leaned down a bit, brows furrowed a bit. But not willing to push the good will towards him "Oh. Sunscreen too. Don't forget it,"
Blinking a few times, processing the full instructions Inali's mouth opens, closes, then opens again as his gaze finds Eli "You. Could you show me ropes?, Please. Since you're not doing much of a change in pace. In the manor and all." Looking to Matt, seemingly unaware of how threatening that may have come off as he raises a brow at position. "Your idea is panning out?." And Inali isn't going to turn down AC.
"Alright, cool!" Avery says with a smile as she thanks Inali. She does happen to have her own water and sunscreen, just as Inali said she needed, in her locker. She rises from her seat, approaching her locker to get her stuff. "You and Eli go deal with the Big World stuff. I'll wait in here 'til you're done, and you can show me the Carousel. Sound g—?"
Before Avery can finish her sentence, the employees hear a horrid, high-pitched shout. With eyes darting from corner to corner, and their moves suddenly becoming frantic, everyone panics. Avery and Jett seem to realize the sound came from one of the computers that shows the CCTV footage. The audio quality on it's never been the best, but simply the fact that they were all able to hear that sound so clearly is enough to spite concern.
Avery rushes to the computer, analyzing every screen in every area of the park for signs of chaos.
To her horror, she finds it.
"G-guys... the rides... the Carousel, the Manor....." Everyone's gaze turns to Avery, still frozen at the sight in front of her.
"...........They're operating on their own."
On the screen, a child that got on the Carousel, now starting on its own, faster, rougher, than any normal operation.
ooc: reading the episode summaries, i'm... not too sure if this was supposed to happen after the argument, but based on my understanding it's supposed to be during 🥲 soo hope this is alright !
also hope u guys dont mind the constant tags 💔for me this is mainly to ensure that posts are interacted with like, in chronological order iykwim :') so people can read it like an actual story
Avery shrinks momentarily at the sudden interruption of Matt's voice, only to afterwards huff as she lightly slams her locker door. "Fine! Let us switch then!" she begins. "Not to be disrespectful or anything, promise, but I just don't get how your places are any more chaotic than mine. I mean—"
She first points to Jett, then to Eli, her hand's focus alternating between the two. "Okay, I guess I sort of understand you guys. Your rides are big, require a lot of tech and management stuff, and break down sometimes—" A very brief look of judgement at Matt. "But that doesn't even sound that bad! Hell, Jett's even said he likes it when his ride breaks down because then he can avoid actually working!" Avery's hands keep waving in the air, her voice heightening throughout her complaints. "The worst you guys probably deal with is shitty customers, and, be so for real. All of us get that. The entire park gets that!" Another look of judgement towards Matt before she turns to Inali.
"I'd say yours isn't all that different either. It just sounds less complicated than Eli and Jett's, but similar mechanics."
Then to Lukas, who doesn't respond with words either, but instead a sneer and eyebrow roll. "Don't even get me started on you! What on earth do you even do at your job besides press like, two buttons and sit down to watch the same three movies over and over again with the customers? PLUS, with the AC!"
Avery flops down on one of the chairs, yanking off her Mouseland headband, the ears that are barely staying on being covered by ribbons and accessories from Inali, strands of her pigtailed hair getting stuck with it. "The Castle requires social interaction, knowledge about the place's layout and story, management of customers, especially kids, who might go wandering and ruining the entire place— only for people to barely care at all about anything besides the pictures and not respecting anyone at all!"
She pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing. Then turns back to the others in the room. "Well?"
ooc: don't got much to say for now, but i hope this (+ the colors i use for each character) r alright !! i'm busy this week, but i'll try to take part in this episode. cant go missing out on the beginning of the lore !! 😸😸😸 kay gnight people
"Okay, maybe my job is easy! But that doesn't mean its not boring?!" Lukas throws his hands in the air. "Also, you have to deal with customers who dont know a thing and think theyre better than everyone else!"
He turns to eli and jett, "at least your rides are interesting! Shitty, but interesting.."
He stood up, "at least your job is visually appealing" he pointed at Avery. "All the pretty colours and design"
He turned towards the break room door, "Im leaving. This is a stupid debate. I have bad movies to show people who have massive egos."
Jett scoffs from where he's slouched in his seat, beat up shoes on the old metal table. His legs ached dully from the constant pacing that came from working the Manor.
"Oh quit your bitchin'." He groans, rubbing at his eyes. His head usually pounded with a headache when he left the Manor, the dull lighting making any kind of light seem ten times brighter.

It was a warm, sunny day at the park. The air was nice and cool, and the sun was shining at just the right angle. All throughout, people walked around looking for rides or restaurants. Many were with family, others with friends or even alone.
One woman, was all alone. She was about 5 feet tall, with brunette hair tied back in a bun. Her shirt had a small giraffe on it it, and she was wearing shorts with paint marks. She looked a bit confused, as if she was lost.
Matt seemed to take notice, approaching the women with a friendly smile. “Hello! May I help you?” His grin was electrifying, shining a bit of joy in their immediate surroundings like a beam of light.
“Yes, I was wondering if you could help me figure my way out around here? I’m new.” Her voice quivered a bit, as if she was scared he’d bite. Instead, he nodded before picking up a radio.
“Guys, could you please show this lovely women a tour of the park?”
"Oh? A customer wandering all alone? Well, that can't be, now, can it! Why don't you follow me, miss!" Avery says with a smile before taking the woman's hand and tugging her away from Matt.
Mouseland Project: Pilot : @The Castle
Avery closes the gates of the Castle behind her and the woman, before heading in front of one of the two doors on either side of the reception desk, each draped with violet curtains. With her mouse-headed baton in hand, Avery begins to tell the tale of Dreamland's Castle.
"Behind the gates of this very castle lies a magic, a peace, that is but unreachable by beings of evil and the dark! And you......" She points her baton proudly to the woman, who steps back in surprise. "...You, miss, having stepped foot into this palace, and are now being protected by that magic that could never turn against you, and that will now guide you wherever you go. You are invited to wander these floors further, and discover the secrets the Dreamland Castle hides within."
"Now then, traveller..." Avery says, her hand reaching out to the woman.
"...Would you follow my lead? ✨"
When the woman takes the pigtail-haired girl's hand, Avery knocks her baton against the floor, the violet curtains tie back on their own, and a snippet of some music and sparkling sound effects plays from hidden speakers.
Avery leads the woman further into the castle, wherein the true "magic" lies.
Behind the curtains, is a hallway. It's dim, other than the few torches lit up on the walls. When they near the end of the hallway, a bigger light starts to appear, and they find themselves in a large room with an imperial staircase and chandelier in the middle, and with doors and rooms all around.
Avery guides the woman through every room. The library with books in shelves that reach high up to the ceiling (they're all fake), the kitchen and dining room where a variety of fruits and foods lay by the counter (they're also all fake. but Avery's considered asking if they could get real food from the diner so that if no kid'll die if they get out of Avery's sight and decide to have a bite. Matt's thinking about it.), and bedrooms where shades of blues, pinks, purples, and yellows drape over the bed in its canopy (she sleeps there sometimes during breaks), and where illustrations of stories taunt them from the walls. All the time, Avery is explaining the story about one of the princess characters of Dreamland, and how she once reigned in this Castle.
By the time the tour is done, and they're making their way back to the reception desk, Avery glances at the woman beside her, and asks. "Did you enjoy the Castle, miss? Did you feel the magic, the presence of the princess? 🪄"
The woman hesitates to answer, but Avery can tell her heart is much lighter than it once was. After a few moments, a few slow steps, she replies lowly, "...Yes. Yes, I did."
And that's enough for Avery to feel content, and to add even the littlest more bounce in her steps.
When they walk out the other curtain-covered passage (which, too, magically open with the knock of the baton), Avery turns back to the woman to ask, "Matt—the man you talked to earlier, the leader of Mouseland—said you weren't so sure where you're going. Is that right?" The woman nods, rather shameful. "Not to worry! Why don't I give you some ideas on where to go?"
Avery taps her baton on the floor, thinking. "Hmm... Well, if you want another whimsical attraction, but something a bit more active, you could check out the Unicorn Carousel! It's a really cute ride, and it's here in Dreamland too!"
"If you're up for something spooky... The Ghostly Manor should be perfect! It's up in the New Orleans Escapade. As for that... I could find Matt and try to get a map for you, if you'd like!"
"Another ride could be... It's a Big World! It's also over here in Dreamland, but a bit farther off."
"...Orrr, if you just wanna sit down and take a break from the walking... Maybe go watch a movie at the America Town Movie Theatre!"
"Hm? These ride names sound familiar to you? Haha, maybe you've actually been here once before!"
"..........No? You haven't..? ....Ah.
Must've been a voice, then, to lead you to this.. magical place...!"
"Now, go on, traveller. Continue your journey about Mouseland. Find whatever it is you are being led to, whatever it is that brought you here.
And in your journey... Enjoy. Embrace every moment. Hold tightly to the wonders of this place...
And if you ever need a guide, to help you find your way around, I, Avery, will be right here waiting." Avery waves one last goodbye to the woman.
"See you around!"
When the woman exits the Castle, Avery returns to her spot at the reception table.
She puts her baton away. Sits down. Glances at a few familiar photos she keeps underneath.
She stares for a few seconds... Then she smiles. "What a nice feeling," she mutters to herself. "For even just a moment..."
"...It feels like the magic came back."
ISA (mod) : i... really don't know if i was supposed to make this this long. or if anyone else'll make their episodes just as long. this is probably a one-time thing, but i did have fun writing it! some notes, now:
when the rest of the cast reblogs the main post with their ride tours, i'll link their posts to the corresponding colored attraction names in the second to the last section.
a bit of a backstory for Avery !! i just thought of this earlier, but she invested in CS and tech development a lot back in high school, and was able to implement a lot of the cool features of the Castle herself using some spare stuff she had from previous inventions :3 Matt didn't allow it at first til he realized his BITCHASS wouldnt be spending any money for it :p the rest of the serious backstory can wait~! WAIT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT SHOULD I MAKE A MINI POST ABOUT THIS FACT .
GUYS GUYS I REALLY TRIED TO WRITE IN PAST TENSE GUYS BUT I WRITE IN PRESENT TENSE GUYS AND I DIDN'T REALIZE I STOPPED WRITING IN PAST TENSE BY THE SECOND PARAGRPAH GUYS IM SORRY 🙏🙏
its literally 2:40am and i have like 12 exams within the next 2 weeks but. whtvr🩷🩷
really hope you enjoyed this lil thing 🥹🥹 more from Mouseland to come (to the employees' misfortune)! (oh and goodnight mfs)
Avery wanders around Mouseland, a big hoodie draped over her low pigtails. When she visits Dreamland, she peaks by the Castle, then heads to the Unicorn Carousel where she notices Inali.
Inali! Over here!
- @averythemouse 🩷🪄🩵
Inali shifted in his spot by the entrance gate of the Carousel having heard her name being called. Having.. No One on his ride so she properly leaned over, locking the control panel for the ride and stepping out and offering a smile
Hm Hey Avery?. What's up.. aren't you supposed to be on sick leave?
Hm? I am on leave! ...From work. Matt didn't say I couldn't just stop by the park! Don't tell him nor Eli, though. They're probably gonna slime me. Especially Eli since he's the one handling the Castle right now. He probably hates it there.
Anyways. How are things going over here? Been a bit of while now since you first arrived, hasn't it?
Ah. Sound logic, I won't snitch.. slime?? Eli in the castle that's gotta be a change in pace. How's he look in the uniform? All the pastels can't be helping. No idea how you afford to do anything but work here. I eat lunch here two days in a row and my paychecks gone. Poof.
Things are.. good?. Only had 2 parents yell at me so far, for Mouseland that's like. Saintly, it has.. what, 2 months? Maybe 3?. I Never did ask, how long've you worked here Avery?.
Oh, promise, the uniform doesn't suit him at all. The baton usually distracts people by catching their attention, but it doesn't look like it can save even him.
But, oh well. It's not like any of the other guys would be any better for the job...
And that's good to hear! I've been here for, uh..... What, around... 8 months already? ..Huh. Kinda crazy, isn't it—?
