BRAVE NEW WORLD↴ ► THE NEW: It doesn't matter when you entered the tent to discuss your new contract with the Ringmaster, you exit it beneath a blanket of stars. Pointedly alien stars at that - currently the carnival grounds are being treated to a show of shooting stars, and what appear to be unnaturally large and living green moons hanging just a bit too close. The carnival was bustling when you entered, but now it's in the latter stages of being shut down for the night. If you manage to find a clock, it states that it's around 8PM. Workers from during the day will be passing through the grounds, attending to various pieces of business. None of them will seem very surprised or concerned by the goings on, though some may be sympathetic enough to pause and answer your questions. If you put some effort into finding out how it became nighttime, you may discover that it's been anywhere from a few hours to 7 days since you originally signed your contract. Someone may explain to you that it was probably some kind of time bubble, meant to keep you out of the way until the Ringmaster had time to deal with you. Every few minutes another new person will pop out of the tent, looking just as confused and under the impression that they had only just finished discussing things with the Ringmaster. Weird. She passed you a note before you left. Opening it up, you'll see you've been assigned a trailer number, and been given the instructions to drop off any excess belongings and do what you can to get settled in. You have until exactly 9:36PM to do so, because that's when you'll be expected to attend what is listed only as "WORKER'S ORIENTATION". This is, perhaps, more abrupt than you were expecting - but what can you do? You're here for the long haul. ► THE OLD: If you've ever seen a mass recruitment before, then this is no surprise. People enter the tent when they're recruited, and then sometimes how up again days later when the Ringmaster is ready for them. She isn't a big fan of wasting her time on individual orientations when she's expecting a crowd. Maybe you're too jaded to all of this to care much, but you'll see the newbies wandering around, probably confused and maybe a bit lost. Maybe you're the kind whose is sympathetic enough to pause your role in clean up and give them some directions, and maybe a word of confidence. Maybe you'll just jeer at them, because you're some kind of asshole. Either way, you expect you'll have the chance to see them later tonight. Whether by world of mouth, radio, or written note, supervisors will be passing out the following message: all workers are to report to the Cookhouse at 9:36PM sharp for "orientation." If you are at all familiar with how things go around here, you probably have a good idea of what this implies. Mandatory Karaoke Night. MANDATORY KARAOKE NIGHT!!!↴  At 9:36PM, the main dining hall of the Cookhouse will be found heavily decorator with various coloured lights and at least one disco ball made of what is ostensibly high karat gems. There are a bunch of cushions and additional seating set up along with the usual tables, and at the head of the call there is a state set up - a karaoke stage. For veteran workers, this is no surprise. Karaoke nights are fairly frequent as activities go, even if they are not usually mandatory. Some of you probably have signature songs already prepared. The karaoke machine is set up with mostly karaoke tracks that would be popular in the 90's and 00's on the average modern earth, with a few that are more recent. It also has some other random stuff from other worlds that people rarely sing because they are confusing and in languages no one understands. Here is a big karaoke list for your inspiration! The more stereotypically karaoke the better. Beyond that, there is plenty of food and snacks that were prepared by the cooks earlier, as well as a bar set up for alcohol and other vices. The selection is, as most things in the carnival, eclectic. Music will be played in between if nobody is singing, and otherwise veterans are encouraged to bring along their own fun and show the newbies a good time. The Ringmaster does ask that vets attempt to be courteous to their new coworkers. It's just being a good host. |
Got Questions
If you want to give me a map, I wouldn't say no.
A map to the whole carnival, not just the area for spectators and visitors.
[He felt the need to clarify. He was an employee now, of course, not some tourist.]
no subject
After all, Gilgamesh despised humans, but could very much identify with those of a bestial nature like himself.]
I just so happen to have such a thing in my possession.
[But because nothing comes for free:]
I will provide it to you for a small fee.
no subject
Kerubim was completely unsurprised when he mentioned a price, especially since he had just finished negotiating with the ringmaster]
What kind of fee?
no subject
Tell me a riddle. A clever one. Then I shall let you have a map.
no subject
[ Kerubim frowned, thinking hard. A clever riddle. Well, there was one he could think of...]
In Astrub there is a fountain that will grant a lucky charm if you can solve one riddle. "Once you have looked everywhere without success, the answer is where you forgot to look".
no subject
And what is the answer?
no subject
No one has figured it out yet. The Medallion of Nine Tails remains unclaimed.
tfw google doesn't let you cheat
[So either Gilgamesh refuses to tell him, or he refuses to admit he doesn't know, either. Either way, the stranger has earned his map. He reaches behind the stand and indeed pulls out exactly what was requested, in full color with plenty of helpful arrows. No further fuss, no attempts to swindle him.
...as far as interactions with Gilgamesh go, this one was surprisingly pleasant.]
Indeed, clever as a cat. Here you are.
no subject
This will do nicely.
[ He opened the map, giving it a cursory look. ]
Hm. This carnival really isn't as big as it looks, is it?
no subject
[Gilgamesh slides around to stand beside Kerubim. He's a tall, sinewy thing, with intimidating wings and claws and teeth, but the look in his eyes is calm. It is not the look of someone who means him harm, at least for now.]
I require sustenance. Let us go to the cookhouse and you shall see what I mean.
no subject
He wondered briefly if it were worth mentioning that Joker had just brought him to the cookhouse prior to his meeting with the Ringmaster but decided against it. Who was he to turn down food and conversation.]
Lead the way, my friend.
no subject
You seem rather at ease here.
[Compared to the rest of the newbies, at least. And that was to his benefit; it meant that Gilgamesh, as a natural predator, was less inclined to pick at him, as he was far less likely to produce any sort of reaction. So far, so good as far as keeping the peace went.]
And very quick to provide exactly what was asked of you. I am uncertain whether to attribute this to obedience or wisdom.
no subject
[The note about obedience got a strange look.]
I just made a very sweet deal with the ringmaster, and if doing what I'm instructed is part of the job, I'll do it. plus I only just got here. No reason to rock the boat yet.
no subject
[Asked of genuine interest; partially because he's nosy, and partially because he's wondering if he really did manage to get the wool over her ever present eyes.]
Apologies for the delay
Just wait till I get back to the World of Twelve. That wet-nosed bootlicker Indie will be speechless with jealousy.
