A gleaming SUV with a large phoenix decal on the side awaits the Phoenix Group. The vehicle can comfortably fit up to eight people along with a cooler full of water and disturbingly healthy snacks, several park maps, plus a medical kit. There's also two top of line digital cameras, each with a cheerful note explaining all images will be saved remotely to the Wonder Park computers and after being reviewed, they'll be emailed to each of the group's guests as a memento of their visit.
Wow them they said, show them how fun it was. Well if that was the case, since no one truly spoke up, she'd take them to things no one should have ever seen. Real. Live. Big. a**. Monsters.
...this was going to go so well. So with a turn of the key the engine happily churned to live and they were off as soon as she ensured everyone was buckled in properly. Onward through the park all the way up the hill to the mountain. "I suppose dropping you straight in is a good place to start." Who wouldn't love seeing dragons, gelatinous cubes, and god only knew what else. "We'll be visiting Monster Mountain first." She stated pleasantly, eyes never leaving the road. They didn't make it all the way of course, there was a point where they ran out of road as a path carved it's way up the hill. Which was where she carefully parked to one side and got out.
"The car will be locked while we're out, please don't stray too far while we're heading up to the main area. If you have questions we're here to answer." She added, briefly glancing to the path where the invisible line of safety was drawn. Time to take them into the land of beasts and myths.
"As you may have seen in our drive over, there are some creatures living here. What you've been told is true, and this area is lodging for some of our largest and more unique beasts." She paused. "One of which is a cube. Don't go near that. For any reason." Because reasoning with the cube wasn't worth their trouble. "If you somehow lose something to the cube we'll see about getting it back." She added after a moment before nodding and locking the car when they were finished. Up the path they went.
As soon as they reached the main grounds she intended to let them wander and... explore. "Feel free to look, take pictures(assuming you took a camera) and enjoy. Again, do not approach any animals without inquiring with one of us first as, while docile, they are also still left to roam at most times." She smiled at the group as reassuringly as she could muster. "Think of the animals at a zoo. Perfectly safe at a distance. Should there be an issue we're here to deal with it swiftly. Your safety is my priority." She added and started up to lead the way, her pace brisk.

Feel free to chatter in the SUV if you like, but please also exit to Monster Mountain shortly. Due to the nature of this area being up a path you can't stay in the car. SORREH.

The handler had taken a bit longer to make his way to the SUV. He hoped his sudden disappearance wouldn't be met with scorn, for he had a very good reason. Which became apparent as he was seen walking towards the tour group with a large bang slung over his back. Quickly he walked towards Rin as she inspected the car.
"Had to grab a few last minute supplies." He explained, opening up the bag to show it was filled with a few squeaky toys, plenty of sealed bags contained meat, carrots, and even some rope. "Oh, and these two." He pulled out a set of walkie talkies and handed her one. "We'll be able to stay in contact that way,"
Setting the bag in the boot, he went about looking over the other supplies himself. Plenty of food for themselves, and medical kit, and even some cameras. "Looks good, Though lets be careful about letting the guests take to many pictures. Encase the flash startles some."

"Nice." Penelope murmured appreciatively, smiling as she hopped in the car with ease. She didn't know where they were headed, but she made herself comfortable and scribbled in her notebook, staring out the window until everyone got in.
She would wait to introduce herself, not wanting to have to repeat herself after each person that showed up. She'd missed the introductions, but Penelope would be more than happy to get 'chummy' with the group.
The woman was excited, and her eyes were bright. She almost couldn't contain it.

Up until the point they had gotten into the SUV, Ciaran had remained rather quiet, clearly distracted as he had sought to take in their new surroundings and all the new people--the staff--who had been milling about and leading the various groups. Now that he had been crammed into a smaller space with the rest of him team, however, there was finally nothing to distract him from socializing.
"This place is actually proving to be more fascinating than I had initially anticipated," He confessed in a murmur to Chikako, Penelope, and Zane. "What about you? Care to share your thoughts?"
He looked between their faces, only to pause when he gaze fell on Penelope's. Wait a minute, had he not...? His brows creased as he offered the woman a faint, apologetic smile. "How rude of me--I haven't introduced myself to you yet, have I? I'm Ciaran."
Monster Mountain? Perking up at Rin's words, he glanced up at her, and then off to the side so that he could stare out of the window, lips pulling into a frown as he spotted movement and then--what was that? He couldn't get a good look before their vehicle zoomed past and left it behind.
Definitely hadn't looked like any animal that he was familiar with, though.
He got out of the car when they came to a stop, turning his attention to Rin and taking in her instructions. It all seemed straight-forward enoug--wait a minute. "Cube?" What cube?
Truthfully, despite what he had been told and what he had seen thus far, Ciaran still couldn't help but be a little doubtful about the authenticity of these "monsters", but he supposed that time would tell. With a little shrug to the others, he obediently followed after Rin.
They were still mentioning words like 'creatures' and 'beasts', which led Chikako to wonder if those they had spotted at the dock were actually results of DNA splicing or merely hyped up animatronics. "Certainly." She told Ciaran in return. "I confess that I'm still rather confused as to what exactly is behind all this but I suppose we will see for ourselves soon."
A smile was offered to Penelope. "And I'm Chikako." She said, after Ciaran's introduction.
She certainly had her queries about what this cube was that they were mentioning to be careful from, but those questions would come later.
Guest Name: Chikako Fukui Guest Profession: Investor Physical Description: Chikako has blond, wavy hair, coupled with blue eyes (though actually just colored contacts). She stands at a height of 169cm, although she generally seems taller as she usually wears heels, along with a dress and a blazer. Brief Character Profile: Chikako is the eldest (and only) daughter of the Fukui family, who runs a chain of hotels. Her two younger brothers have no interest in the family business, and thus, she gave up her studies in law to pursue business instead. As her father is considering to invest in the theme park business, Chikako has been sent to Wonder Park to analyze if it would be worth investing. She is, of course, aware that this is a test to prove her capabilities, but is willing to take up the challenge.

Rin was certainly making his job that much easier. What with not only driving them to their location, but giving them a brief introduction to boot. Having jumped into the car with them, Barry kept quiet for the time they were in the car as he tried to listen in on what the guests were saying so far. They appeared interested, which was a good thing in his books. Although they hadn't seen anything yet.
Once the car had stopped, he was out and quickly moving to the back to grab a few of his supplies, including a belt with plenty of pouches, which he crammed with various treats and items. Not to mention his walkie talkie and, of course, the remote that could stop anything in it's tracks.
He gave it about ten minutes before he would have to use it.
“Hmm…” was all Zane said for awhile. It had been quite hard for the man in his late forties to accept that these were the creatures of lore and myths he was seeing, however the hell they were manifested. But he couldn’t deny what he was seeing – that was an Oliphant that had been staring at the SUV going by.
“Ah – yes, the safari concept is quite … I’d reconsider the age group this is targeted for, er -” his response to Ciaran came out in awkward fragments, still too caught up with processing the reality before him and trying to keep his comments professional. There was a thoughtful pause before Zane let out a laugh, having finally come to terms that what he was seeing was truly incredible. “Wow, I mean, this is quite impressive,” he admitted. The shock and disbelief had faded by now, replaced by a growing sense of genuine excitement. This project, by far, has been the most interesting he’d seen.
Following the reintroductions by Ciaran and Chikako, Zane recalled that he too had yet to introduce himself formally to the other lady they met on the ship. “Pardon me for the belated introduction, Zane, landscape architect,” he greeted Penelope, offering his hand.
There was the mention of the cube again, which was drawing a reaction from the other guests. He was starting to really wonder what was it with the cube, recalling something similar he saw when he caught his interns playing games on another window when they were supposed to be CADing.
As the ride drove on, Zane could see changes in the landscape scenery – different environments for the creatures to be viewed in. A mountain ridge appeared over the horizon, and soon they had arrived at the destination.
“If I may…” Zane excused himself, claiming one of the cameras in the car for use. He stopped outside the van for a moment, fiddling with the camera settings and taking a few panoramic shots of the view. It was important to document the approach to the site … he was already onto his work. The man would catch up with the rest of the group, snapping a shot here and there, and filling his sketchbook with quick sketches and studies. Still, the real fun had yet to begin…

[font size=9]If one was observant, one might notice that Rin was driving faster than before in the opposite direction of the mountain, a tight smile on her lips. "Well wasn't that an adventure everyone? Let's go somewhere calm now." Was all she said as the sound of the security van's sirens were silenced with distance alone.
The trip was nice and calm after they were out of range of it as she made their way to some rather pleasant and happy looking fields before parking the car and ushering everyone out. "There are less large things here, and more... well this is Fantasy Fields. Why don't you ask Mr. Warren." She added, not bothering to explain further why he looked a mess.

We're at Fantasy Fields and ogod save us...

Again feel free to stay near the SUV, but you are now welcome to officially exit to fantasy fields. You don't need to wait for me. Have fun. PS: We at least got out before you saw the unicorn SUV get owned.
Chikako had kept her distance in Monster Mountain, scribbling notes regarding the creatures, mostly consisting of 'danger', 'dragons' and 'possible liabilities'. Nevertheless, she did consider the creatures to be an impressive sight, but there was certainly a possible danger to this project to keep in mind.
Less larger things hmm? Maybe, this time she could actually go closer to the creatures. The previous location had certainly seemed too dangerous for such an endeavor.

"Pleased to meet you! I'm Penelope Jones. No relation to Indiana." She stated, hiding a grin. She'd been caught up in writing things down that she'd lost track of time, and scrambled out when the others did, jotting things down and attempting to remember it all.
And then they arrived at Fantasy Fields. Well, she was interested in this, so looking was good, yeah?
While Rin had been driving away from their ordeal, Barry had been...unconscious. If only to recover as much as possible. But when they had arrived at their next location, the handler had jerked away with a start, looking around and trying to figure out where he was again.
Oh, right, Fantasy fields. Hopping out pf the car, he ducked around the back to prepare himself while Rin lead them off. Grabbing some more treats, wiping himself off with a towel, rising his head with a bottle of water. After a few minutes, he was reasonably presentable again and hurried off to try his hand again at being a tour guide.

And once the car was loaded off they went again, sadly not to move cute fuzzy things. Rather they headed toward the main facilities and toward one of the main halls were a few of the other cars could be seen outside. It seemed various groups were all heading back to reconvene of sorts. "We'll be heading back for a meal and rest, if you'd like to head out for something please be sure to request assistance, otherwise enjoy yourself." She offered a smile that wasn't as a stressed with 'so long as nothing eats you' for once as she helped with opening the cars and securing things before starting in toward the building. "As stated, if you need anything at all we're all here to assist you. Don't hesitate to inquire." She added while watching the rest of the hall.
Shouldn't be too troublesome. Aside from the crazy mastermind behind the creatures. He was always trouble. Not that she'd ever say it out loud. That was just asking to be fired.
