It's clear from the first moment anyone even gets on the Skyrail tonight that the Stratosphere Entertainment Group's pricey investment is going to pay off - every rail car is crowded with people decked out and excited for the event. To natives of Baedal, the idea of a holiday is days off work, maybe some camping - escape is alien, a little frightening, and completely thrilling. Even when the Gravity Falls station had hosted other venues, it was nothing so ambitious as to capture the imaginations of the city as a whole. And to immigrants to the city who no longer have the luxury of even simple trips out of town - well, it's priceless. A bittersweet but suddenly vital excursion.

Doors open just as the sun begins to set, the light reflecting off the water of the ocean illuminating the great floating platform as if the entire sky was on fire, before slipping into deep purple then black, the ceiling of their experience dotted with brilliant stars. Staff members wrangling the hazards of the first night are anxious but excited, kind and helpful even if they end up frazzled by the overwhelming turnout. There is security, all sporting neon purple shirts with lion logos, but even by their own admission, they're only there to breakup fights - and even they're smiling all night, too.

"Yeah I was gonna say, like... we're not a very pearl-clutchy set here. But like, you know - people gotta pay to see mine, I'm not gonna like, just be handing that out for free. Or d'you think that'd be like, advertising, like? Like, 'here they are, now come see them at the Vault!'"

These are the things Megan thinks about.

"But maybe we could be trendsetters."

Topless ones.

“If anyone wants to see my breasts, they can just wait by the river in Raven's Gate,” she observes, plucking at the edge of her chemise's neckline - her bust is bigger than the last time they spoke to one another, and she's not quite used to it, yet. They've probably not yet stopped changing yet, either. “They tend to be a bit prudish about it, though, I don't know why.”

Whatever. She's a naiad in a river.

"Did you know you're allowed to go to the beach naked? I didn't know that until I woke up one time there super drunk and also naked and was like, oh my God, but like, nobody cared. Well I mean they cared but nobody called the cops. Maybe you're not allowed, they just didn't feel like callin' the sheriff or whatever. That's weird, though, isn't it? 'Cos like, on Earth if you go to the beach naked everyone flips out like, oh my God, a boob! Anyway the moral of this story is that I'm goin' swimming." And with that she flips herself rightside-up - dropping her drink and deftly catching it in the process of inverting herself - and begins the arduous task of untying her boots.

Well, if Megan is doing it--

Ilde's sandals are already off, and she sets them down on one of the lounge chairs for safekeeping before she peels out of her tulle underskirt and chemise; it isn't very hard get out of what's essentially not even an entire outfit, it turns out! What's left is going to swiftly end up negligible once she's in the water, little white bloomer-knickers. She's filling out with early pregnancy, already, but even near-naked it's not necessarily obvious exactly why, just yet.

“Don't let anyone fall in on you,” she says, stepping down into the water.

"If they know what's good for 'em they stay outta my way," says Megan, who is approximately the size of a loaf of bread, what even.

She rolls her dress up and shoves it in one of her shoes, the other one holding her CiD, keys, and lighter - that's one way to keep everything together, sure. Then she flutters up above the pool a couple feet, tucks herself into a ball, shrieks "CANNONBALL!" and lets herself fall directly in the middle, sending up a small geyser where she lands.
