⇨ 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.

A) Out and About

Sora's the kind of guy that wants to try everything at least once, and gosh if this isn't the opportunity to do so. Shopping's not usually his bag, but oh wow, look how cool (and shiny!) this is! And that! So maybe he'll just. Get one or two things. And wear all of them at once. That's totally fashionable, right? Sunglasses are totally cool.

Then, maybe you'll find him in the pool? Swimming is his fave, and those waterslides are pretty sick. If you goad him enough, maybe he'll even join you in the hot tub. Prepare to get splashed, though.

Finally, the dining hall has pretty much every food you could ever come up with, even including some recipes from his home. Who knew you could find some of that stuff in an interdimensional pocket? Not that he's complaining. They even have sea-salt ice cream!

B) Entertainment (PARTY CITY BABY)

Sora's old enough to know he's way too young for the adult parties, and more than that, he's not really interested in that sort of thing. Who wants to get drunk when you can have more fun sober?

The teen parties, though, Sora is All About. He loves dancing, loves the energy, loves the free soda bar, loves being around people and having fun. If he sees you and knows you, he'll totally drag you over to dance with him. He might even... get lost in one of the dance clubs for a night, whoops. Don't worry, he's not gone forever, but he'll be dragging himself back to his room at about seven in the morning with a headache and then sleeping for about 36,000 years.

C)In the Room (where it happens)

The room he and Rin are given is pretty cool. Pretty spacious, they have big beds to themselves that are way bigger than their trailer bunks, and free room service. Even the clothes in the closet are their sizes, and that's almost as impressive as everything else.

And if you're asking if he jumped on the bed, he totally did. Just a little.

At one point he goes out to party, and comes back a full twenty-four hours later, and then crashes for a good twelve hours. That certainly was an experience, and if you come in while he's like that, you'll just find an unmoving lump on his bed. Don't bother waking him, because he won't.

[One of the times that Sora comes back to the room, the door doesn't open. It's not that the lock is broken, or the key isn't working, no.

Something is definitely blocking it from the other side. Something that is snoring loud enough to wake the dead.

This IS a dilemma...

destiny_key: (!!!)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-02-19 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Sora tries to jiggle the handle, but it does nothing. He looks at it for a moment, then shoves the regular key in his pocket to exchange it for his actual keyblade. He points it at the door and... nothing. Looks like its not even locked.

Welp. He puts the keyblade away and knocks on the door.
]

Rin? Hey, it's me. Let me in?

[personal profile] flashover 2017-02-20 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[there's a grumbling from the other side of the door. And a sleepy growl, from something pretty big sounding.

The door still doesn't open easily.

But hey, maybe with some muscle, it can be opened by force...?
]
destiny_key: (Ugg.)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-02-24 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora hears the scraping on the other side of something being moved, then waits another bit. When the door still doesn't open, he tries the door again, and finds that it gives a little this time. He puts his weight into it, and shoves the door open, bit by bit, until the door is open just enough for him to squeeze inside.]

[personal profile] flashover 2017-02-24 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[welp, at least it becomes immediately clear why the door would not open it. There is an enormous cat-butt blocking it. The giant cat is passed out, stinking of liquor. Scattered around near said cat are empty containers made of large gourds, previously filled with something that smells of sake and catnip.

Rin is also here, also drunk, also passed out. He is laying on Kuro like a giant couch. His mouth is wide open, drooling. More disturbingly, his eyes are also open. Just ever so slightly... but they seem to be unfocused and looking in different directions. Ok.

[It takes Sora a second to register what he's supposed to be looking at, tilting his head to the side and squinting his eyes. Did... did Rin and his cat both pass out drunk?

Dude.

He sighs and makes his way further into the room, then stoops and shakes Rin's shoulder.
]

C'mon, man, go sleep in a bed.
flashover: (257 schwasted)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-04 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[in response to the shaking, Rin makes noises that... maybe might be attempts at words? Maybe? But really they just sound like--]

Bllloooouuurggghhlll.

[his eyelids flutter, then finally focus on Sora, though one is more lidded than the other]

Ahcoulnt... Igawt... I goooootttt lawst.

[... he got lost? What, on the way to the bed 10 feet away?]

[Dude. You're seriously smashed. They're like fifteen why would you-

Sora stops, and takes a breath. It's not worth getting upset over.
]

You... Got lost. In our hotel room.

[Howwwwww...? How did you manage that. How. Sora sighs again, and reaches to help Rin up.]

C'mon. Lets just get you to bed, okay?
flashover: (258 at least a happy drunk)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-06 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[because he's 15! Sora, what 15 year olds do you know that make good decisions? You don't count. You disney princess, you.]

Iz....izzo FAHR. Sora.... Sora... itsso big.

[ok well the room IS big by hotel standards but uhhhhhhhh...

Rin leans heavily on Sora, completely unable to support himself. He's lucky he didn't puke and aspirate and die.
]

Ahhmmmm fiiinnneeee.
destiny_key: (lol dis bitch)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-03-08 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
You're like the opposite of fine.

[Sora's nothing if not a good friend, though, so he practically carries Rin all the way to his bed. It just. Takes a little bit.

Once they get there, Sora helps Rin up onto the bed and makes sure he's lying in the right direction, and sighs. At least he's not on the floor anymore.
]
flashover: (014 Cause we got the fire)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-29 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Shhhhh. Shhhh.... you're too loud... what do you know anyway?! Huh?? Ooouugghhh...

[Rin is basically dead weight at this point. But at least he's not actively struggling?

Once he's in the bed, it's almost as if a switch is turned off, and Rin is conked out once more

It's sort of amusing watching Sora become clearly excited about all the things he can order here, and Joker would be content to leave it at that, but when the sea salt ice cream comes over to the young teenager, he blinks and leans over curiously.

"What's that now?"
destiny_key: (SUPER!)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-02-19 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sea-salt ice cream! It's the best," Sora cheers as the treat is placed in front of him. "You want some? It's really good."

He takes a big bite and hums happily. "Salty, but sweet."
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-02-20 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Salty but sweet sounds like a contradiction, but Joker is always up for trying new things. Picking up a spoon, he grins. “Well, don’t mind if I do, then!” A quick spoonful of it, and he lets the taste melt in his mouth. A small surprised noise. “Well, I’ll be plucked, it ain’t half bad.”
destiny_key: (default)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-02-24 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Right?" Sora smiles happily, taking another bite of his own. "I never even had it until last year, but now it's my favorite."
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (He has a British accent.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-02-24 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
“That so?” Going back to his own food- he doesn’t want to eat everything off of Sora’s plate, after all- Joker grins. “Where’d ya first have it, then?”
destiny_key: (lol dis bitch)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-02-27 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Ummm..."

Sora has to stop and think for a moment. Did it count if it was Roxas who'd had it first? Probably not.

"Last year, when I was visiting a place called Twilight Town. It's always sunset there. I made some friends, and we all had ice cream together on top of the clock tower."
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (He threw a pool chair off of an)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-02-28 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Always sunset…. “Sounds like the kind of place that we might pop up in,” he muses, amused. World hopping is such a charming experience, when it isn’t horrifying or life threatening. “But that’s nice. Good ta find familiar thing when yer travelin’ all over, huh?”
destiny_key: (Happycry!)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-03-02 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno that we'd ever go there," Sora ponders, taking another bite of ice cream. "All the places we've been so far have been really exciting and different. Twilight Town's just kind of... a town. There's a train station, and shops, and lots of people, but, it's nothing super exciting, I don't think. But, I am pretty happy to have the ice cream."
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (He threw a pool chair off of an)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-03-03 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
“Well, what’s just a town ta some folks is somethin’ strange and out of the ordinary ta others, right?” he says before popping a twisting spiral of a berry into his mouth. “I mean, I know some places we go ta, they’re regular cities and towns ta some of the workers who’ve passed through the carnival, but everyone else gapes at ‘em. Ya never know.”
destiny_key: (Er...)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-03-05 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"That's true. One person's normal is someone elses vacation. Or something. I guess I should know that better than anyone."
pipers_son: (The stripper told Tom to sort his life)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-03-05 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
“So we might end up there anyway.” Joker grins. This time, the next food of choice is something that has way too many tentacles. Chewy. “Never say never, and all that, right? Although who knows where we’ll end up next. Tryin’ ta figure out the Ringmaster’s plans on this sorta thing is impossible.”
