what's cooler than being cool? ice cold
Who: everyone!
What: hey wait a minute, why's it suddenly cold oh for fuck's sake Strange...
Where: the carnival + Alola
When: all of day 76!
Warnings: none, will edit if needed
the Carnival
Surprise, it's now winter.
Starting from the early hours of day 76, the Carnival is covered in snow, the temperature rapidly dropping from 'nice' to 'freezing.' Patterns of frost cover everything and icicles dangle from most buildings. Try to be careful as you're walking around, patches of the ground are frozen over and incredibly slick. Nobody be that dumbass who tries to stick their tongue to the ferris wheel, you're just going to regret it later. Enjoy the fact that almost anything that used to be a liquid is now frozen solid. All in all, it's like someone flipped a switch from summer to winter--there was absolutely no sign something like this would happen in the first place. Why not ask around to see what's up? Or, just enjoy the change of weather and pelt your friend in the face with a snowball, that's also an option. The Carnival re-enacting the plot of Frozen lasts all day, though things finally start to melt and/or magically vanish once dusk settles.
For all you vampires who've slept through most of this, the effects of winter still linger a bit after the faerie's vanished, though in slowly diminishing form. The temperature's a bit warmer and some of the liquids have started to melt, but it's still a bit uncomfortable. It's hard to clean up an entire magical wintery hellscape by yourself, okay?
Alola
Due to the way the Carnival drops people in Alola, it's entirely possible to miss the fact that something weird's going on at the Carnival. Still, some of the winter wonderland manages to seep it's way into the tropical paradise. For most people, the changes are noticeable but easily dealt with. The temperature drops to something more chilly but not downright freezing. Occasionally there are small flurries of snow, but they'll end up melting fairly quickly. Locals are downright confused, mentioning that really, it shouldn't be this cold, this weather is weirdly unseasonable.
Also, what's that weird little ice fox that keeps showing up? More and more ice Pokemon feel a little bit braver thanks to the cold temperatures and are willing to venture out into areas that ice Pokemon might not normally live in. Go train all your fire cats by having them beat up the sentient ice cream cones, everybody.
( ooc: here is the relevant ooc post! This is an open mingle-style log, so feel free to create your own threads, tag around & have some fun! )

"Did you know all of that before or after you decided to take up being stage manager? 'Cause that seems like it probably would've influenced that decision."
Or maybe it wouldn't have. Whatever Joker wanted, he supposes, he could have arranged just working as an ordinary employee under a contract so he didn't need to take it on if that had been his goal in the first place.

"Still, probably wouldn't have cared much back then, so still woulda done it."

The witcher seems strangely invested in the answer. He could try to play off his interest, but he doesn't, watching Joker with a calm, steady look. After all, he's thought about it -- there's a chance Joker could have been kidnapped by the vampires as an ordinary worker, but being a supervisor guaranteed it. Joker still hasn't shed the demonic influence running through him, though others seem to have done so readily, can't walk in the light or consume anything that isn't blood in some form or another.

Shrugging, he closes his eyes and focuses on the feel of the fire. "Even as just a stage manager, I get that much."
