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. |

[ Granted, it won't be the Ringmaster and so she won't be their boss here, but the carnival's a big place and Mitsuki's already met some nice people. The odds seem good in his opinion. ]
no subject
[Mostly the woman who showed him the way to the trailers. He also met a not-so-nice guy, but there's bound to be some of those too (and to be fair, Tamaki was also being not-so-nice, in his very Tamaki way).]
Someone said we have supervisors...
no subject
Luckily, all he really hears about is supervisors and that he has an answer for. He leans back across his bed and grabs the fish bag. ]
Yeah! Mine is Joker, I met him on the Ferris wheel. He seems like a good guy.
[ Just look at the generous gift, after all. ]
no subject
Tamaki's eyes get round at the fish bag.] Whoa! Cool!
[He has his own fish bag, but he hasn't found it yet.]
He must be a good guy, if he gives you presents.
no subject
Mitsuki offers the bag over to Tamaki to check out. ]
It was just hanging on the door when I got here. You might have one too, since he's your boss too! I liked him even before that, though, he's smart.
[ Mitsuki can tell. After all, he hired him. That alone says he's got decent taste. ]
no subject
[Tamaki didn't know that, but it's good that his boss is a good guy (according to Mitsuki). As long as this person will take care of them, he's happy for now.]
He's smart? Like Iorin?
no subject
[ He can't imagine Tamaki doing anything else, after all. The crowds adore him and he seems to enjoy it, so why wouldn't he go back to the stage here?
The mention of Iori gives him pause but he barrels through. It's fine. Joker promised Iori wouldn't miss him. ]
I don't think he's quite the same as Iori. Maybe if Iori and Yamato were combined, kind of like that.
no subject
[Tamaki tries not to dwell on that idea for too long. Mitsuki did ask him about his job, after all, and suddenly Tamaki is getting the sense Mitsuki would rather talk about that than his younger brother.]
I'm going to be an acrobat! I don't really know what I'll do, though...
[He gets what an acrobat is, but he's not sure what's going to be expected of him. He can do a backflip, sure, but he thinks it'll be more complicated than that.]
no subject
Tamaki's answer about his job is a surprise, though. He's what?! ]
An acrobat, like flying through the air on a trapeze? What made you decide to change to something like that?
no subject
[He doesn't know why Mitsuki is so stunned. Is there something wrong with that? Maybe he made a bad choice.]
She suggested it. She made me show her what I can do so I danced. Then she asked what else so I stood on my hands. Then I did a backflip. And she asked if I wanted to try it.
[It sounded fun at the time.]
no subject
Mmm, I'm just surprised you didn't sing, you're a really good singer too! Maybe you'll be able to sing as part of your performance, too. I'm sure you're going to do great, though, and I'm glad she saw that.
no subject
It felt weird singing by myself, though... dancing is something I've done alone too, so it was easier.
What are you doing? Are you gonna sing?
no subject
No, or at least not very often. I'm going to have a sideshow, so I might sing once in a while but mostly it's going to be showing off the other acts. Kind of like a variety show back home!
[ Because that's his
onlyreal talent, right? Might as well make the most of it. ]no subject
[He's not even exaggerating; he might be a cheeky shit who announces when he's bored with a line of conversation, but he'd still rather have Mitsuki's fun MCing over endless questions about his and Sogo's friendship.]
no subject
Well, then... you'll just have to come be on it! At every stop! We can work on the questions ahead of time but I won't ask too many.
no subject
[And now he's back to being a lazy teenager who doesn't sound super happy about the idea of more work. But he'll do it, because it's his job, and because people expect it of him.
Sogo told him that they're watching over him, Mitsuki included. Of all the lies Tamaki's been told the last few weeks, he likes to believe that wasn't one.]
Do we need to go to that karaoke thing now?
[Before they totally forget about it. It is mandatory.]
no subject
Mitsuki nods and stretches a little, then claps once. OK! Time to get psyched up! ]
Yeah, we should. Time to meet our new co-workers!
[ Thinking of it that way is going to keep him from thinking too much about the other co-workers that aren't there, after all. ]
no subject
[New coworkers. Tamaki isn't sure how much he likes the sound of that, but it's not like he has a choice now. Besides, it's only temporary - eventually, he'll be allowed to go back home.
He just has to do his job.]
Let's go.
