And now, with over 40,000 members aboard a superplane, he was landing on an island inhabited only by creatures from the Mario universe. They were cute! Look at 'em!
In the center of the island was a massive castle with normally menacing horns and spikes and dinosaur architecture...which had all been dyed pink and blue and green--party colors, basically.
"Oh dear," said @AstralHunter, stepping off the plane. "These colors will not do at ALL. YWS is almost a teenager! We should embrace the rebellious stage!" He paused. "...within reason, that is."
@Mage hovered lightly about their heads, already sketching and photographing the local flora and fauna. "Look at all the fodder for my wall photography! Lookit! Lookit! There's practically a Safari Zone of things to explore here!"
Lumi and @Rydia exchanged proud glances. It was, after all why they CHOSE the location (not to mention the last year's party in the YWS House hadn't gone so swimmingly with the robots. . .)
"That IS why we chose it," Rydia bragged.
@Wolfical and @Steggy bounded off the plane and began chasing the turtle creatures towards the castle. At least fourteen dozen other YWSers looked around in awe as they wandered inside the atrium of the castle.
Lumi sighed in relief. The cake was put out, the presents were on display, and everything was in order. "It looks like, for the first time in twelve years, nothing's going wrong."
And, in perfect unison, all the 40,000 members slapped their foreheads and groaned, shouting: "WHY!?"
Immediately, @Casanova began tagging one of the far walls with graffiti. @Caesar began reciting ancient history memes to a small crowd. @Birkhoff...well, Birkhoff set up a small media center and fired up an episode of FRIENDS. People liked that.
@TheSilverFox jabbed Lumi in the ribs and growled. "You jinxed it. Jinxed it! Every bit of it! Every! Bit! It's the Barney Song all over again!"
"You were driving that bus without a license and under false pretenses--"
"I WAS ROPED AND GAGGED."
"At least the weather was nice!"
Then, with a rumble, there came a low roar from deep below the castle floors.
Rydia got her balance and stared in shock. "Lumi...adult adult adult Lumi, you did make sure to evacuate the super-ancient Dinosaur King, right?"
Already backing away, he held up his hands. "It...may have slipped my mind."
"ROAR!"
"OKAY IT REALLY SLIPPED MY MIND!"
