lostcarnival | ⇨ THE CELEBRATION

Who: Everyone, especially YOU.
When: Day 60 - Day 65
Where: The Celebration
What: The carnival workers are invited to spend the week within the realm of the Celebration, the grounds of a party that has been going on for centuries. Accommodations are luxurious, but those with keen instincts might notice something off about this whole arrangement... (Questions can go to the original setting post!)
Warnings: Booze, drugs, sex, and everything in between.

THE CELEBRATION↴

If you observe that the layout of the Celebration grounds seem inconsistent, then you would be correct. In reality, what lies at the end of each corridor depends largely on what the guests of the Celebration want at the time - if a few people find themselves craving a drink, a bar may appear. If a group finds themselves wanting to dance, a club will open up. This goes on at all hours of the night, and given how many dedicated partiers fill the building, the services are well used. It isn't instantaneous, and the Host has to consciously decide to provide that service, but the changes are fast none-the-less.

► ROOMS: Each trailer pair will be assigned a room to themselves - whether or not it has two double beds or a single king sized bed seems essentially random. Hopefully you aren't too sensitive about keeping that space to yourself. The curtains at the far side of the room don't actually lead outside, but instead to a walk-in closet filled with the Host's best guesses at the type of clothing you might like. They may not hit the nail on the head, but at the very least all the clothing will be in your size. The styles could be just about anything, from any universe, but they do tend to average out to clothing that is Earth-ish. Either that, or clothing that looks like they are meant for elves from a high fantasy novel to wear.

► SHOPPING: If none of your pre-picked outfits tickle your fancy, plenty of boutiques and clothing shops can also be found around the grounds - whatever you're thinking of, you'll probably be able to find a shop appropriate for it eventually. Though, maybe it doesn't really count as shopping if you don't have to pay for any of the things you take back to your room with you? Unfortunately, from the sounds of it, you won't be allowed to drag all of your haul back to the carnival with you, so you better enjoy it while you can.

► DINING: There is no daily schedule to follow, after you arrive. You are free to attend the dining room whenever you wish, and will be seated at large round tables with whoever else may be around at the time, and can either order from the menu or most dishes you may think of off the top of your head. If you don't like the fine dining experience, there are also a selection of smaller cafes and eateries that open and close at varying times of day - and, of course, you can always call for room service.

► ENTERTAINMENT: There is plenty of live music around the grounds (not that you can ever seem to remember who the performers were afterwards) whether it comes to harp music while you eat or a full set of DJs in the club you found. If you are inclined to look for them, you may also find some cozy lounges with big screen TVs, and access to a multi-universal quantity of films. What's there or isn't there is unpredictable, but if you come from a standard variety of Earth you probably recognize some of them.

► SUBSTANCES: You don't have to be coy about it - just ask one of your servers, and you'll be able to get whatever kind of vices you might be craving. Drugs, alcohol, ice cream... it's all good. If this sounds like a nightmare for potential addicts, you would be correct. It's not uncommon to see people clearly over-indulging in certain locations, though guests are usually escorted back to their rooms if they take ill - only to see them back at it again the next day.

► SPA DAY: If you'd like to take a swim, pools of various aesthetics are easy to find. So are hot tubs, and saunas, and Host servants who are willing to give you a massage or manicure. If the party crowd isn't your scene, there are plenty of more low-key opportunities to indulge.

► GREENSPACE: There is one park area on the grounds, which appears to be constructed on the rooftops of other parts of the complex. While there are trees and greenery, there is no real sky that you can see - only the illusion of one. It may start to occur to you over time that no window or rooftop actually leads to any kind of outdoors. The Celebration really is there only thing here.

These are really just examples, and you can get creative with what kind of services you find offered while here, when it comes to generally mundane comforts. It really feels like the Host wants to win you over, as if you staying just a little longer has some sort of intrinsic appeal.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ginko looks up from staring into his own crappy food, brow furrowed. It's not the food quality that's bothering him, of course, since he's pretty much used to stuff like this. It's more... well. Everything else, honestly.

He starts and looks up when Psi speaks, having missed... probably about half that sentence. He's almost definitely sort of drunk himself, though for totally different reasons than Psi. "--What?"

He laughs, pulling back from his food as he looks Ginko up and done.

"Dude, are you high or drunk? I can't decide." He says before taking another sip of his shake.

"Do you want some waffles?" he repeats, slower than before. He's wearing this.

He doesn't hesitate before replying. "Drunk."

After a moment of consideration, he nods. "Yeah, sure. Thanks."

Psi nods, sliding some of his onto a small appetizer plate before tearing into them again.

"I was saying that I think syrup could be fun in sex." The other part of the conversation Ginko apparently missed while he was out of it, thinking about whatever it was he thought about when he was spacey like this.

"Do you agree? Yes or no."

"...Um?" He squeezes his eyes (eye) shut for a moment, thinking on that. "I... don't know. I mean, it kind of seems like a waste of food?"

"It's not like you wouldn't end up eating it." he says, giving Ginko a flirtatious wink after saying so.

Ginko's brow furrows slightly, but he's pretty sure Psi is just messing around. Pretty standard. Honestly, he's not in much of a mood for it, but the conversation does make a decent distraction... if an odd one.

"It'd be kind of inefficient, though, wouldn't it?" He takes a bite of his waffle, as if to demonstrate how one is supposed to consume syrup. "But, what do I know, I guess."

The corners of his lips curl up into a sly smirk. They are both too drunk and too uninhibited to be having this conversation, but of course neither of them can stop it at this point.

"I mean if I'm going to suck your cock anyway I might as well get something out of it, right?"

The you here is a general you, of course, and not referring to Ginko directly. Still, that doesn't stop the Psionic from looking suggestively Ginko's way as he says it.

If Psi ever wanted to know how to get Ginko to choke on a waffle, he sure knows now. Once he's done coughing, Ginko manages to respond. Sort of, anyway.

"Wh-- what?"

Psi laughs, startled at first by that reaction for only a moment before finding it absolutely hilarious.

"What do you mean what?" he asks, between laughs. "Do you not understand?"

And somehow the thought of Ginko not understanding what he's said is even more hilarious as his laughter starts getting louder again.

"I understand, I just--"

Ginko's shoulders hunch a little and his gaze darts off to the side, his expression hovering between indignation and embarrassment. "--I don't see why you'd just say that, especially in public."

His laughing so hard there are tears in his eyes. His stomach is starting to heart so he tries to calm down and focus on breathing. After a moment or two of that he finally calms down again, enough to speak at least, but he still has a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Why not? No one here cares. They're not even listening to us."

Sure enough most of the other patrons are either zombied out or talking with people at their own tables. Of course someone at another table might have heard but no one looks angry or upset by it if they did.

"I care! Just-- please don't say that, alright?"

There's a faint gold tinge creeping onto his face, and Psi's laughter doesn't seem to be helping with his frustration or embarrassment. Ginko makes an effort to look busy with shoving food into his mouth.

He slows in his laughter. Normally he'd feel bad for embarrassing Ginko (at least a little), but right now he doesn't, what's there to feel bad about in a great place like this? Maybe Ginko was a virgin or something. Or maybe he had a terrible blowjob accident. Psi shakes his head, amused at the thought.

"Fine, I won't say it. The point is food and sex could be fun."

Ginko swallows his mouthful of food with some effort - putting that much into his mouth at once might have been a mistake, as indicated by his stopping to cough a bit after he swallows.

He glances up at Psi again, then, somewhat uncomfortably, back down at his plate. "I guess, if you say so. I dunno."

Sorry if he's not terribly talkative on this subject, Psi, but, uh. He's not exactly an expert.
