Between the Roots and Branches [Open to All]

Don't worry, dreamers of Manhattan. There will be no humiliating episodes of sudden-onset-clumsiness tonight - at least, nothing more severe than what you might experience naturally. Your physical and mental faculties will be left perfectly intact. What a treat! And what luck, because if you do lose your footing, it's a long way down to the forest floor.

But hey, who wants to be on the boring old ground when there are so many wonderful treehouses to explore? There are dozens of them spread throughout the surrounding forest, connected by a series of bridges and catwalks (some, admittedly, a bit more stable than others). It's easy to forget - or fail to notice - that there really is no easy or conventional way down to the ground when you're surrounded by such splendor.

The houses' styles range from charming and rustic to modern and sleek, with many falling somewhere in between. There are viewing platforms for bird-watching or simply taking in the scenery (trees, mostly, though if you venture high enough, you'll be treated the sight of the forest canopy stretched across a valley far below). But the insides of the treehouses are comfortably furnished to varying degrees as well, so there's no need to immerse yourself in nature if you'd really rather not. Some are complete houses in their own right, with all the amenities of a Manhattan apartment and then some.

Go for a climb, or kick back and relax. The only enemies you'll find here are other dreamers... and, potentially, gravity.

"Hello," Baymax says, shuffling up to the tree and looking upward. "I heard your call for assistance."

"OH," replies the Earl. "HELLO. YES. I DID CALL. PLEASE ASSIST MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

at which point his flailing becomes so violent that he manages to dislodge himself from his perch, plummeting instead toward the large pillow man.

"HHHOOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR," he says on his way down.

Bonk. Lemongrab falls into Baymax's huggable, non-threatening embrace.

"I am Baymax. Can you rate any pain on a scale of one to ten?"
howverydareyou: (unACCEPTABLE)

The pillow man is acceptably cushioned but this does not resolve the matter of being deeply uncomfortable. Lemongrab writhes into a physically improbable pretzel arrangement and shrieks, "TENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" before melting further down onto the platform.

"Your bone flexibility is beyond human capability," Baymax observes, blinking. "Where are you feeling pain?"
