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. |

Yuugi barely notices the score going up or moving levels, despite how absorbed he is, or notices her watching over his shoulder. Either it's on easy setting or it's not that much of a challenge to play console games anymore, it's hard to tell.]
no subject
You must have spent a lot of time at the arcade...!
no subject
Well, I didn't actually go to the arcade that much to start with...it seemed like something people did with friends, plus they wouldn't let me in on account of looking like a ten year old. My grandpa owns a game shop, so he lets me test run a lot of merchandise.
no subject
[ A game shop sounds cool, though! ] So -- all kinds of games? Board games and card games, too?
no subject
[And Mokuba-kun's thugs at that. It had been surprising to learn that the younger Kaiba was the owner of all the high scores, though given the Kaiba's were as into games as he was, it shouldn't have been. He nods, keeping his attention on the console, commenting rather absentmindedly.]
Yep. Consoles too. And sometimes I get asked to promote new games. I guess being King of Games has its advantages...
no subject
Hey... is that something you call yourself?
no subject
[He looks a bit startled when he realises what he said before he laughs slightly.]
Oh! Uh, no it was given to me when I won my first tournament. [Then, sheepish, kicking aside thoughts of the ceremonial duel;] I haven't lost since so I guess it still stands...
no subject
My school called me the Super High School Level Gamer... everybody who went there had an amazing talent. Gaming was mine.
no subject
I'm glad it was just your school. Fame isn't the best, believe me.
no subject
But... I guess it's probably still sort of different from being the King of Games.
[ She's starting to feel a bit better. Maybe this place will be okay, at least a little bit. ] Do you think you'll be at the Gamer's Circle sometimes? I'm working there, apparently.
no subject
[Yuugi's brow furrowed, though he supposed it wasn't as creepy as being watched by thousands during the KCGC. The comment makes him pause the game, looking at her again with his full attention.]
M-me too! [Which is kind of a relief because running all those games... His face brightens, ears perking.] I was a little worried I'd be on my own.
no subject
But apparently, she isn't even going to be the only gamer in the Carnival with funny ears. ] Well, between the King of Games and the Ultimate Gamer, we can probably get things running pretty smoothly!
no subject
[He wasn't really sure what to make of them, considering his previous interactions with spirits, though they hadn't seemed all that bad despite Archer-san's warning. Even if that could be chalked up to actually winning at the games.]
Mmhmm! I'm sure we can. Can't be any harder than running the game shop when grandpa steps out.
no subject
You're Yuugi! [ Okay, now she makes the connection. ] I... I met someone earlier who's supposed to be our supervisor.
no subject
[He flushes a little, embarrassed. Did he bully her into it? No, no he wouldn't have, she offered after all. He scratches his cheek, sheepish.]
Oh, you did?
no subject
[ She nods enthusiastically. ] Yeah, he calls himself the Psiionic. He's kind of tall, got horns...
[ She scans the crowd, looking for him to point him out, but frowns a bit when she can't find him. ]
no subject
[The description rings a bell, but Yuugi wouldn't be able to remember if he met their supervisor or merely glanced over him somewhere. Noticing her looking around, he smiles softly.]
It's okay. I'm sure I'll meet him when we're shown around the Circle and told about our jobs.
no subject
She yawns. The night's growing long. ] I just thought I was a normal high school student... I didn't think I'd ever end up in the circus.
no subject
[Though, he had been far from a normal high school student until a few months ago. Taking note of her yawn, he hands over her Game Girl, lips quirking softly.]
Want me to walk you back? I think I'm kinda done with the whole...orientation thing.
no subject
[ She kind of is, too. Hence the sitting in a corner playing video games. (Well, to be fair, that's what she's been doing most of the night.) ]
I don't know what trailer I'm in... [ She digs her paper out of her coat pocket and blinks at it. ] Mm... twenty-six?
no subject
T
Twenty six?
He's rooming with a girl.
Oh sweet baby Horus.]
A-ah...that's...my trailer...
no subject
Okay. [ So much for the nervousness about who she'd be rooming with, at least? This person seems okay. Time will tell, of course. ]
Should we go? [ Outwardly, there's barely a reaction, though. If anything... yep, she's turned her game back on and fiddling with it. ]
no subject
[Yuugi's voice gets a little high pitched before he tones it down, a squeaking sound coming from the back of his throat as he stands a bit more enthusiastically than he intended, mentally facepalming. Good gods he was fucked. Taking note of her nonchalance about the whole thing does make him force himself to calm down though, waving a hand.]
Um...I guess I'm...taking the lead?
no subject
[ Also, it's dark. Also, she's still playing the game. (Does she ever stop?) So her concentration is divided somewhat. ]
