    Funderland Amusement Park has been dishing up kid-sized thrills since 1946! It is the only place to take the kids in Sacramento that has nine exciting amusement rides, a concession stand, birthday parties, and more. We are conveniently located in William Land Park next to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town.


    Funderland is a public location, but also the heart of Sacramento's Changeling Freehold.



    Some Freeholds hide in plain sight, while others hide so well that new arrivals need an invitation and direction to even catch a hint of just where the Lost's stronghold resides. The Freehold of Sacramento is of the former, and has always been, but with the death of the dragon Fairweather, the Lost of Sacramento have taken control of, and are operating an amusement park. A self contained space, a fortress for the Lost, but one where mortals come spend their money, and offer up something more precious; Glamour. The park is divided along the lines of the Seasonal Courts, each having their own ride or featured building, so the Glamour is spiced in the layers of the four cardinal emotions.


    Much like the world - the Hedge - beside the mundane one, there is a private world beneath the park -- prohibition era tunnels, passages and even rooms.


    For now, the the Park is closed and admittance is only for the Lost. For those moments before Equinox and Solstice, The Eternal Seasons reign....

    This thread will end early (Sep 21) due to the upcoming Autumn equinox and coronation.



    This is a great place to gain your Acknowledgement!

    Roshon's true form is far more chaotic than even most other Lost, as they can at least claim to be symmetrical. Not so for Roshon. Sure, from the tips of the miniature blackbuck horns that sprout from her head, everything looks fine, but then it comes to her ears, with one being a fuzzy red panda tuft, and the other being like that of a dhole. Her eyes are like those a big cat, and though her hair is just as it appears with her mask, the fur of a striped hyena runs in a black and white mane down her spine. A pair of fangs lie beneath her lips, and a tiger tail sprouts from the base of her spine. Her hands are scaled like the feet of a bird, and if one is lucky enough to see her with boots off, a pair of mutant crocodile feet lie beneath.

    "Sheeee-it, you know something's up when the stoner is the first to arrive," Roshon said, a thick cloud of smoke billowing out with each word.

    She was wearing her usual attire: black jeans, a band t-shirt, and a leather jacket, plus the addition of the lit blunt she held between her fore and middle fingers. That was definitely the best part about California, for her, although all the long desert highways were a big plus. Sure, curving mountain roads could be fun, too, but the Freeholds up in Colorado weren't her style.

    Sacramento, however, seemed nice. People were friendly. Things were mostly chill. Not that they would probably stay that way, of course. They were the Lost, after all, though seeing how fucked up the world was for everyone else, Roshon didn't really mind that her terrors revolved around things from folk tales, rather than, ya know, massive systemic problems.

    Anyways, whatever. There was a reason why she smoked weed.

    Now all she needed was someone to show up that she could smoke with.

    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    Ram walked through the park, searching and hoping he'd run into one of the Sovereigns. There were things they needed to know.

    Instead he saw an unfamiliar... he was going to go with Beast, though he couldn't identify what animal they had been in Fairie. Lots of tufts of furs of different colors.

    "Hey," he said, feeling the heartbeat bond echo between them "I'm Ram. Are you new? You need a tour?" He really wanted to find the kings and queens but he was also a Summer rep and it was there time of year. He couldn't leave a newbie wondering the park.

    Oil black, miasma purple, and dishwater white, the pallet of the fox girl drowning in crude oil, her hair continues to spill only halted by her triangular fox ears, popping from the side of her head.

    She feels like her rat neighbours as she slinks into Funderland. It is very not busy. But is very strange. The times she's been here before it's been very busy. Perhaps even very, very busy.

    But then she sees Roshon! Who is nice! And Ram who didn't get mad even though he is a Summer who are very mad all-lot of the times.

    She makes small steps to make it towards them. Hands open and free by her sides She's not armed. She's a shiny-rock-wyrdstone-approved-even. She's allowed to be here.

    She swallows back bile and smiles. It's awkward, but present. She doesn't show her teeth, "....hi....?"

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    She had to drop some things off at the Tavern and was now just walking the park. The quiet welcoming in the summer air. Though there was the hint, ever so slight, of Autumn. But not enough to damper her mood. She was a married woman now! It was exciting, and terrifying.

    The Nix wore cut off jeans, which showed how the bottom part of her legs was translucent, matching her hands. A bright off the shoulder shirt set the look, and she had a carefree look to her walk.

    Wait, voices?

    Direction was changed as she makes her way over.

    Roshon?! She was back?!

    Beaming, “Hey guys!” continuing until she was part of the small gathering. It was hard to miss Ram, giant and all. Then there was R’lyeh, who Sera was still hoping to win over.

    “Roshon! Great to see you! I was worried something had happened.” Concern in her voice.

    “Hey Ram! Hope things are going well.” She had to setup a time to talk with him more.

    “R’lyeh, great to see you too! Hope you’ve been well.” Her smile warm.

    "Hey, 'sup," Roshon replied, eyes roving over the massive gorilla-man-machine that had approached her. "New-ish, but already got stoned. You know, the one with the heartbeat. Thanks for the offer, though."

    R'yleh was next to appear, slinking into the little gathering with that odd mix of restrained panic and inhuman agility that seemed to mark her just as much as the oil covering her skin-feather-fur.

    "Hey, girl, how's the alley treating you?" Roshon said, giving a little jut of her chin in greeting.

    But then Roshon froze as Sera arrived. The mismatched Lost ducked her head, her free hand rising to ruffle the mane at the back of her neck in embarrassment.

    "Uh, hey, Your Majesty. You got the keys back, yeah? If not, I can pay to have the locks replaced. Just, uh, something came up, so I had to leave for a bit. Yeah. S'all good now, though."

    He nodded to Roshon, but he was kind of glad. It meant he wouldn’t need to abandon her halfway through if they ran into Circe or Rhodes or someone.

    “Rlyeh of the wicked cupcake throwing arm. Hi.” Even with his mission he couldn’t help but grin seeing the little Elemental.

    “Sera,” his face turned serious like a light switch had been flipped. Or someone had appeared in a pair of enthralling cut off jeans “I was hoping to see you here. Or one of the Sovereigns. I have news from the last patrol. We found stuff that deals with Queen Anne.”

    Tension slowly leaves, shoulders coming down from her twitching triangular foxy ears, there was no yelling, no getawaygetawayyoudon'tbelonghere there's greetings. There's his, and how are yous and and call backs and questions. This was strange and new and weird and interesting.

    "Hello. I am okay. My alley is mine and it is good." she nods. She might have been about to continue with something else, but the words are stolen as Ram asks for Sera-Queen's attention as Sera-Queen-Sovereign not Sera-Queen-Friend. Would she change is she going to go hard like the metal in her mane-body-soul "Who is Queen Anne?" she asks before she can choke the question, there was Circe-Summer, Dread-Lords-King-Rhodes, Sera-Queen and Sorrow-King-John, they were not an Anne.

    The dread Lord makes his way through Funderland to collect his darling wife for dinner. It was a surprise - Sera loved surprises. As he made his way towardes the Wishing Well he caught hearing of familiar voices on the wind, and diverted himself towards them.

    Well Well. What a pleasant surprise.


    Natually, he chose the exact moment to move into the conversation. "She is an... old adversary. One of my former colleagues from the West coast," his deep voice answers the Elemental's question with a rumble, moving slowly out of the shadows. "Good evening, all. I hope we'll see you all around for the party in a few weeks?" Eyes move from Ram to Roshon to Ryleh, his easy smile with sinister eyes. He moves slickly over to Seraphina, icy winds adding more of an autumn chill than what was barely in the air. He could feel his season waxing, growing near - it was his favourite time.

    "Hello, darling," he adds, the smile becoming more natural, almose gentle. "I thought I'd surprise you, although you seem to have found a few familiar faces." He turns back to face the others. "Ann was my opposite number in San Fransisco, but she made some... highly overamitious plays and was fired - quite spectacularly, I understand. Highly talented and highly dangerous. Now her and some of her underlings have been making trouble here for a number of months. Though we have managed to scratch her right hand off... permanently."
    Flowering Fairest, Mantle: An ever-changing, spine-chilling icy wind, creating spinning autumn leaves and haunting whispers.

    Treasured Nix

    “You can just call me Sera.” She replies with an easy smile. It wasn’t Spring. “And yes, I did, thank you.” And she would always change the locks after someone left. Just to be on the safe side. “But I’m glad to hear things are good now, welcome back. You had me worried.” Sure, Lost came and went all the time. But it never stopped her from worrying something bad had happened.

    Laughing, light and musical in sound, “She does have one hell of a throwing arm!” cannot deny that!

    The laughing stopped, the carefree look gone, “How close to the Freehold? What can you tell me about it? Or did you want to have a private conversation?” this could be serious. They had yet to finish dealing with Anne, and finding stuff that dealt with her? That just drove the point home that they needed to address it.

    A look to R’lyeh, “Glad you’re ok.” Always good.

    Then a deep breath, “She’s an adversary that we’ve been dealing with for a couple years now. Got into drugging and abducting mundanes to work in the Hedge for her. Not a nice woman, and someone we need to finish dealing with.” Long and short of it.

    If the Mantle didn’t give him away, his deep and resonant gave him away. It had been an interesting change in him. One that fit him quite well. And he could explain Anne quite well.

    A smile was offered when he moved close, the icy winds felt on her legs. But it wasn’t uncomfortable.

    “I do enjoy surprises.” Replies the Nix, voice upbeat, “But I can’t stay away from enjoying the company of the Freehold.” The social butterfly that she was.

    Turning more serious, “We need to look into what she’s been up to. She’s been allowed to exist within our borders for far too long.” And while she didn’t feel like getting serious, she knew they had to.
