⇨ 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. |

It's not his fault there's a group of cute elf girls seated at the table next to their booth, all right? And he's been chatting animatedly with them the whole. damn. time. Right up until Rin says his name, anyway. ]
Yeah? [ He glances across the table, back Rin's way. ] What's up?
no subject
(until tomorrow, probably)
Rin rolls his eyes a little.]
Quit flirting for a second and listen! [He leans across the table, a serious look on his face. He speaks in a low voice] Don't you feel like this is... weird? Like something is off?
no subject
Uh huh. Off. Something off. [ Hm, hmmm, let him think about it. His attention wanders while he does think — or tries to, anyway — and, naturally, that gaze of his is totally drawn back to those girls. ] Nah, I feel more like I'm going to get lucky here, that's what I'm feeling~. Have you seen the girls around this place?
no subject
[Indeed, while it seems that everyone here is chatting and having a good time, there's something... stiff to them. Wooden. Empty. And their eyes. They're a bit glazed over, like the light's gone from them.]
And if I learned at least one thing from this stupid carnival, it's that no one ever does anything for free. This place is gettin' its dues somehow. Don't you think?
no subject
[ Well, provided Rin lets go enough to let him take a closer look, he'll do just that. ]
Now that you mention it, I s'pose a place like this is too good to be true... But they aren't asking for contracts or anything weird like that, so what else could they take?
no subject
... I don't know. There's definitely something weird about the people here... I can't put my finger on it, though. [he shakes his head] But the carnival didn't snag us until we tried to leave, either. [Rin frowns] I think we should still try and have fun and stuff but... just kind of keep an eye out, ok?
no subject
[ WOULD SHE? Like, he doesn't know, seriously, but it seems like kind of a waste to kidnap people only to lose them again! ]
no subject
Hmmm... yeah. I guess you're right about that. The Ringmaster wouldn't let anything really bad happen to us. She's gotta wring us for everything we're worth, first. [he seems satisfied, at least. Maybe he was imagining things... or giving more weight to stuff than he should.]
no subject
[ It doesn't help that Shima just can't take this place seriously. There is some small part of himself that does want to, it really does, but it's been tough to break through the fog of several days of partying. ]
Ha, y'know, if I knew this is what you get to do when a bunch of magical weirdos kidnap you, I think I would have gotten myself picked up years ago! Break a few rules and go to a huge party dimension? [ He props an elbow up on their table and leans one side of his face lazily against it, gaze drifting back towards the girls. ] Maybe she's planning on staying here for the entire year. Wouldn't that be great?
no subject
Man! I don't know if I could handle a whole year here... I'm tired after like... how long has it been? A few days? I already feel like I could sleep for a week! But... I doubt it. I don't think she can pick up any new contracts here...
no subject
[ Shima not being concerned is the worst way to decide if they're in trouble or not, Rin, it really is. ]
But I guess so! I don't think anyone here would want to sign up with a carnival, right? It's not like they need anything or have anything of hers to trash...
no subject
[Shima you are MAKING THIS WORSE. Rin's fears were founded and now you're making him forget about them!!]
Right, I mean... why would they want to leave this place? Ain't like the carnival has anything that this place doesn't.
no subject
Yeah. If they wanted a bunch of carnival rides, they could probably just ask the folks running the place to expand. Not sure where, but I guess they make it work somehow. Kind of like the place always knows where you want to be. Weird, right?
no subject
no subject
[ Shima hadn't actually stopped to think about whether or not it might be weird that a place could just outright read a mind. Then again, this place had a way of making him not want to think about anything at all. He does at least stop to think about it now, though, so hey, there's that.
Just give him a few seconds to process. The entire celebration... reads... their minds. ]
Oh. Actually, yeah. Did ya notice those weird servant folks, too? They're always showing up with stuff when all you've done is think about wanting it, right?
