Layla smiled brightly as she walked along with her group, she was so excited to take them off exploring and seeing all the darling creatures she cared for. She hoped to take them to Monster Mountain first and show off some dragons since they were the dragon group. She'd have some extra food on hand in case some of them were still grumpy from her arriving late this morning.
She paused and listened with rapt attention to Mr. Whorl and then smiled fondly and clapped as he stepped down. Marvelous! She hoped her group was as enthused by the speech as she was!
Spinning on her heel she smiled at the dragon group and waved her hand.
"Hello everyone I'd like to properly introduce myself now, I'm Layla Armrose and I've worked here for a little over a year. I'm incredibly excited to share the wonderful experience of meeting all these extraordinary creatures with you. I'm a handler here and I hope I'll be able to take you all up close and personal with some of Wonder Parks amazing critters."

Tobias was essentially being useless in the back of the convention hall. He stood with his long arms slipped casually into the pockets of his pants. Rocking back and forth a little on his heels, Tobias's gaze swept out across the hall, passing briefly over the faces of those in the crowd, to those that stood in front of them, and finally to the park owner himself, who was obviously very enthusiastic about the whole thing.
Tobias shifted where he stood, glancing superstitiously to the side where September stood, next to him, a slight smile on his lips as he said, "Well, I guess this means we're officially back in business. Strange thought, wouldn't you say? Though hopefully we're not gonna have any, you know, bad incidents or anything like that. These creatures aren't exactly the most reliable."
It was said in an undertone, so only September would be able to hear, and there was the smallest note of bitterness to his voice, though it was obvious Tobias was attempting to be calm and relaxed about the entire situation, his tone meant to be teasing.
To the newest patrons, he gave a bright, cheerful smile, tugging at the brim of his security hat.
"Ya'll ready to have some fun?" he asked, grinning devilishly and flashing everyone a welcoming wink. "My name's Tobias Bennett, and Layla here is my lovely partner. As for September here - " He clapped a hand on the other's shoulder. " - he's my partner in crime, here to help out as well."
Quote:
Staff Name: Tobias Bennett Job Description: Security Physical Description: 6'1", Tall, relatively brawny and slightly muscular (but not overly so), bright orange hair, amber eyes, dimples. Brief Character Profile: He's pretty laid back, but he's also got a bit of an edge to him, especially when it comes to dealing with the creatures in the park. He's boisterous and cheerful, and he can be fun to hang around, but if he's irritated, or if he's dealing with the creatures, that cheerfulness turns into mild sarcasm, slight bitterness, and sardonic comments here and there. He's strong-minded, but tell him to back off and he usually will.
Writers? Rebecca was no writer, no, she would be investing her time into photographs. But she understood her purpose here as well as why Whorl was not directing his attention to her. It seemed he had some mystical agenda. Well, no matter what, he promised some great photographing material. She bounced on her toes, letting herself removed some of that excess energy before grabbing a drink to refresh. No Alcohol, darn. She could use a nice beer about now.

[ENTERING]
Algie came in as quietly as he could with his 'Mermaid' squad and listened as both Whorl and their own escort gave very different sorts of speeches. He wasn't sure which to concentrate on so he did his best to stay attentive.
Quote:
Guest Name: Algie Mixlin Guest Profession: Comic Writer - Lecturer - Professor Group: Mermaid Physical Description: Fifties, salt and pepper neatly cut hair, he's a sort of tired-scruffy version of handsome. He dresses like a typical english professor type... sweaters, button up shirts, scarves, etc. Brief Character Profile: Algie become known for writing what are now known as 'classic' comics. Edgy politically fueled hero stories which changed the way many looked at the hero complex. He was never fond of the spotlight (not like theres much in comics) and has continued to live, almost hermit like, in a small village that is his home town. He doesn't write many comics anymore (a few small things here and there), instead often guest lectures at universities and teaches writing. He rarely makes appearances or signings and has denied connection to any movies or shows made of his works. (( Think Alan Moore-esque))
[Entering] Pausing with the Unicorn group members Antonio looked to their guide for a moment before turning and stepping closer to the place where Whorl was as he gave his speech, letting go of Cora in the process. A part honestly wanted to believe what was coming from the mans mouth as the speech went on but the well-educated side was telling Antonio that he had been had by an eccentric nutjob. Not only that but to walk off now. His career didn't need this type of publicity if it got out that he had attend some make-believe magical gathering that wasn't a syfy con, well who knows what could happen but it likely wouldn't be pretty.
But. It sounded so convincing, or at least to a point. Antonio believed in the power of the human imagination it was how he made a living and kept half sane after all. Though to the point of creating mythical life? He was skeptical though intrigued. "Magic?.." Antonio smiled wide, a childish twinkle to his eye as he shook his head. The man even with as old as he was now had never given up on the belief magic and likely never would. It was a hope that kept his writing strong. But he also believed in science and logic's which helped to keep his writing more believable.
Swallowing thickly he put the pad under his arm and ran a slender hand down the length of his face cupping his chin for a moment in thought. His throat was getting tight as a result of his nerves, stomach turning but there were things he needed to find out, things he wasn't about to let his anxiety get in the way of before finding out. After the speech was over he turned to look for Cora, an apologetic look ready though he knew she likely knew by now how wrapped up in work he got.

Guest Name: Antonio Altamirano Guest Profession: Fantasy writer Physical Description: He is a tall, muscular yet slender Hispanic man. Around 6'0ft in height and has curly brown hair along with a tattoo on his arm but typically since he is in proper attire you cannot see said tattoo. He will be in jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt. Brief Character Profile: Stubborn. Anyone that's met Antonio knows he's a little uneasy around a large number of people, one that prefers to do his job with as minimal talking as necessary after all he's there to do a job not make a friend. While he's a bit of a hard-a** when works involved he is able to cut loose and lay back when the situation for it arrives. He's an observer by nature which can have him coming off a little creepy at times.. well that and his own twisted sense of humor. All in all he's a generally silent sweet man until his temper gets the better of him or his 'inspiration' strikes.

Why was everyone screaming unicorns and dragons and fairies and My Little Ponies, seriously, he didn't even see anything magical (granted he had been staring at his cell phone the entire time until it was finally relinquished).
One Tony Stark, feeling extremely put off by all the events going on simply sort of just stood there, separate from any group. He then slowly began to gravitate towards the food table, helping himself to whatever looked edible, and stuffing his mouth full as people talked. Halfway through the guest began choking, but somehow managed to relieve themselves by drinking half the jug of some sort of liquid before helping himself to more food. Some people never learned.
It was then that his tag fell haphazardly over, in his attempts to grab food. He shrugged before putting it back on, adjusting his sunglasses (while wearing them indoors) so that he looked in his opinion, slightly cooler. He put his tag facing his name proudly outwards, and then frowned, pausing. This continued for a few moments longer before-
"Oh my god I'm in the unicorn group."
Pause.
"Gay."

There u go
OOC
Tony Stark is a questionable sort of figure wearing a big trench coat and oversized sunglasses because he thinks it looks cool. There's an odd smell wafting from him that suggests perhaps the word showers...
Melanie waited as long as she felt was enough, before heading in. She beelined for Les, happy to see he hadn't completely lost their group yet. The presentation was already under way, just as she'd feared. She knew she was going to miss it. Damn scragglers.
More importantly, she didn't miss the food. Or at least, she might not.. it was quickly disappearing. "Shhh.." She censored herself before she could curse, and left Summer and the rest of the group to sneak over and get some herself. The idea of putting her hand anywhere near that human food shovel that was destroying the refreshments. It didn't help that he was a guest - she couldn't just yank food away from him.
Could she?
"Oh my god I'm in the unicorn group."
Fate smiled down upon her, even if she didn't realize it was about to laugh in her face. She walked around him, and stood in front of him, in lieu of introducing yourself.
"Hey, Mr. ..." Reading the name tag got a raised eyebrow, and a pursed smirk in obvious appreciation of his fandom. "Nice. All right, Mr. Stark. I'm Melanie, one of the tour guides in your group. Don't let me lose you, okay? Especially at night. Unless you're hiding an arc reactor in there. Then you can be my Rudolph." She tapped his chest, and stole several pastries while she spoke. Score.

Tony Stark (the person, not the actual character) was not a person to un-appreciate:
1) Anything with boobs
2) Anything with boobs that was female
3) A fine face
4) A fine a**
5) Did we mention boobies of the female variety?
One could almost hear the imaginary zing as he bee-lined towards Melanie, all attention on her chest her. And then, his tour guide got the smoulder. It sort of looked like Tony Stark (the person, not the character) was trying extremely hard to pose majestically and pucker his lips just slightly while there were still crumbs dribbling down his disheveled unkept chin. "And you," He whipped both index fingers at her, "Can be my Christmas gift. How about me and you tour my private Stark industry basements where you can view my latest state of the art technology?"
Eyebrow waggle. It could be noted he still had fruit punch staining his shirt.
Louise wasn't really what some people might call in shape. In fact, he was rather far from it. But he had heard mention of magical creatures, and that meant dragons, and there was no way he was missing out on dragons. His group was dawdling, so the man had taken it upon himself to follow another until his arrived and had struggled with the effort of keeping up.
He let loose a phlegm-filled cough, making an absolutely delightful horking sound.

Anyone else in the vicinty who thinks a man in a dragon costume is strange
Situations like this were tricky. Melanie knew they'd come time and again, while working here, but this was her first encounter with a guest and flirting, and there were certain rules about punching the park guests in the face. One of which was that you could not do that. So she tried to react as diplomatically as possible.
By speaking his language.
"Ah, Tony. Your reputation precedes you. Unfortunately, I'd rather be slowly poisoned by palladium than view your underground R & D. No offense."
That fruit punch stain made her thirsty, so she poured herself a drink. She'd just brought it to her lips when someone coughed so hard it had her almost choking on it.
"Uh.. Bless you?" Had that been a cough, a sneeze, or a heart attack?
Okay, rewind for a second. This hot lady had been hitting on him. He was about to score it big in his scientific research, of the personal kind, like, score it really big, when this-
- He wasn't exactly sure what he was looking at. At first he thought that he had finally caught a glimpse of one of these legendary creatures that everyone was talking about-
- Well. It was legendary alright. Legendarily gay.
Flash back to present.
"Um." Keep it suave Tony, keep it suave. "My date and I were talking. Now if you would excuse us, we have important scientific ventures to be made, personally, like, just the two of us." He coughed at Louise, though the word sounded very oddly like 'You're gay'.

After being given some time to gather together and acquaint themselves, the groups are eventually led out to a number of shining, freshly waxed, SUVs that will take them across the bridge and into the main park.
TOUR TIME! - Each group will have 3 IC hours/3 OOC days to tour the island before heading back to the resort for dinner. - Please spend at least one day in the areas you choose, and try to visit at least two areas in the park! - Group SUV threads: you can use these for RP shenanigans or just as a way to neatly/quickly collect your group icly when changing locations.
- If you have any questions just post in the QnA! - If you want an extra prompt for your group just PM me!
Louise pushed his his sweaty, scaly-outfitted body between Tony and the woman, reaching for napkins. He blew his nose loudly, the sound trumpeting across the room.
"Whoa, must be the air here, I'm having a hard time breathing. Oh. Oh. Excuse me, I didn't realize I was intruding. Many apologies."
He stood there awkwardly, smiling at both of them, not seeming to realize that his standing there was awkward. The man hadn't seen anyone from his group yet, so he figured he would just stay here. Three's company, right?

Melanie didn't want to laugh. She didn't want to laugh. She tried so hard, not to laugh.
But she laughed.
"Uh-" She bit her lip, trying to compose herself, just as the SUVs pulled up. "Let's just. Go." She gave the dragon-man a polite nod, trying so hard not to laugh again, and then pulled on one of his wings. "Nice outfit." She commented. "You'll fit right in, here." Then she imagined some of the dragons getting too friendly with him, and stumbled away to hide the fact she was about to laugh all over again.
"Let's go, Tony." She gestured to the rest of the group, meeting up with them. "We've got a lot to see, and not a lot of time to see it, so everybody follow me into the SUV, and we'll get started."
"Alright, just a second, gotta see if we've missed anyone. We seem to have lost Lou, in any case." And how that'd happened, she had no idea. A man in a green dragon costume wasn't exactly inconspicious, but still he'd managed to sneak off on his own. "Centaur group over here, please!" Again she raised her voice over the din, blithely ignoring any dirty looks resulting from her too-loud-for-indoors voice. "Centaur group!"
Staff Name: Hannah Everett Job Description: Security - Centaur Group Tour Guide Physical Description: Tanned skin, brown eyes and ash blonde-brown hair usually up in a high ponytail with bangs framing her face, Hannah is an athletic 26 year old woman of about 175 cm's height. Usually found loudly chewing some exotic flavour of bubblegum. Brief Character Profile: Hannah generally takes to everything in life with a constant cheerful vigour and dogged determination to get things done. She's very sociable and has an ill-hidden romantic streak a mile wide. Despite her demeanour, she's quite competent at her job.
