Rocket on Its Launch Cradle Arena

A rocket lies on a rail cradle across a circular stone arena, its nose cone gold and purple and its body painted deep blue with cream star scrolls and a pink band at the middle. Tiny workers stand on a scaffold at the nose, climb a ladder beside the hatch and adjust the wheeled carriage at the tail. Round windows show small rooms inside, one with hanging lanterns and one with people sitting at a table. Flowers, feathers and pink mushrooms sprout along the hull and the green-and-lilac fins. Fenced yards in checkered tiles surround it, with barrels and tools, while grandstands of cheering spectators curve in the corners. Pools of floating golden cylinders sit at the edges. The painted bands and the distinct yard tiles make lines where pieces will meet.
