⇨ 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.

I know that!

[They really should have a labeled area of clothing for people with alternative appendages. Maybe he'll suggest that, too.]

Some have more than two legs.

[wing shirts and tail pants and shoes for people with weird feet! C'mon, place.]

... There are people here with more than two legs? I saw a lady with a snail tail instead of legs....
spaghettimonster: arrt-jim-lad (HMMM.)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-02-23 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Of course there are! Haven't you met the man Gongenzaka? He has four legs.

But only two feet...
flashover: (229)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-02-23 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah! But only over the radio. He's the really loud guy that talks in third person, right? Wait. [squints] Four legs... but two feet? Um....
spaghettimonster: (Papyrus modestly admits to his strengths) (AFTER ALL I AM VERY GREAT)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-02-24 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I, the Great Papyrus, surely don't know! His speech seems perfectly normal to me. [Nyeh heh heh.] Do hooves count as feet? They're so solid and hard.

... Of course it does. [how does he keep running into these kinds of people? Rin looks at Papyrus with an incredulous expression] ... Hooves totally count as feet, man. Hooves, paws, talons... those are all different kinds of feet!
spaghettimonster: (HUH???)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-02-25 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Incredulous expression, meet incredulous expression.] Huh? Not all paws are feet. Some paws are like hands!
flashover: (208 I'M OK!!!)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-04 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... hands and feet are kind of like the same thing! Kind of like how arms and legs sort of look the same... you know? People have five fingers, and five toes... if you look at a normal foot, it just looks like a long hand with short stubby fingers!

[is your mind BLOWN, pap]
spaghettimonster: (SKELETONS AND FLOWERS)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-03-05 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so...

[Not yet... But it just might be soon.

Because now that the idea's been raised, Papyrus is taking off a boot and a glove to compare.

His toes are like extremely short fingers, and his feet like very long palms. The main difference...]


Feet don't have thumbs!
flashover: (160)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-06 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, but look, see? [Rin takes off his own sneaker and points to his big toe. Then he puts his hand next to it] There IS a thumb on your foot! You just can't hold any stuff with your feet, so it doesn't work the same!
spaghettimonster: (HUH???)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-03-09 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Papyrus watches intently, then imitates with a his hand and foot. They are both the largest on the digits, on the same side...] So that's why they call them "opposable" thumbs...

[The skeleton's mind is blown.]
flashover: (172 my nose is super kawaii)

[personal profile] flashover 2017-03-29 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[HAHA. Winning.]

Yeah! See? Weird, right?
spaghettimonster: (WHAT???)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-03-29 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Very weird! And yet, so clear! How did I never notice this??
