Hello, passengers and potential passengers!! Welcome to the first-ever

SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.
What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.
Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!
SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER

You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?
SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF

Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.
No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

GO DEEPER
She takes a breath and releases it slowly, letting some of her tension go with it. It is, she begrudgingly has to admit to herself, rather breathtaking. There's a girl that appears to be right at home here among the flowers, like she was born to wear that flower crown and be one with nature, untouched by the passage of time or marching on of technology. Then the breeze kicks up and Miu raises a hand to shield herself from the sudden shower of petals, making a slightly sour face as it subsides]
Hey--!
no subject
She smiles. ]
Hello there. Are you lost...?
[ The petals dance around them, gentler now, slowly morphing into a rain of feathers. Euphie just holds out her hands to the stranger, always pleased to meet a new friend. ]
I'm Euphie. This is the Imperial Villa— ...I think.
no subject
So instead she just gives a shrug.] SOmething like that...I was just wandering. Sorry for trespassing.
[But Miu doesn't make a move to really leave, either, looking around as she wanders closer.]
You don't know for sure? Did you used to live here, or work here?
