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. |
TRAILERS
HEH!? Yuugi! [...Surprising. The girl turns, still dressed rather similarly to how she was the last time they met, though looking a little more harried than back then. Getting ready for roommates is SERIOUS BUSINESS after all.]
You're here now? Did you make a contract too..?!
no subject
C-Carly-san! Ah, y-yeah I did. I know it might seem strange but...
[He shakes his head, bangs flopping over his face.]
Never mind it's not important. How...how are you?
no subject
[The ears disappear just before she can properly comment on them, and in an attempt to make it seem as if she isn't staring, she hurriedly coughs and moves onto the next subject with Yuugi.] I'm fine! I've just been setting everything up for my new roommate~ I haven't shared with anyone since... [....Since the war, but she quickly realizes that's not a topic to be brought up right now.]
Ah-mn...For a few months now! So I had to do some cleaning, ehehehe...
Is your trailer nearby then?
no subject
H-huh?! I...I know you said this place changes you but...I didn't think it's be this soon...
[They swerve forward at that, flicking with the motion before he sighs. Better sooner than waiting he supposed, sighing slightly and shoulders dropping before he looks at her again. It seems like they're both avoiding the subject on mind so he nods and jerks his thumb over his shoulder.]
Number 26. I haven't met my roommate yet though, if I have one. I'm...I'm glad you're not alone anymore.
no subject
[It's why things like moving shadows tend to hit right after starting to learn a whole magical art, honestly.] They're kind of cute though... [She murmurs, staring at them for a bit before dragging herself from those thoughts.
Right, right-!] Well, everyone at the Carnival has to share, except for the supervisors, so there should be someone at least..! ...I don't know if it'll be someone new or not though, so I guess you'll find out...
no subject
[Still, he had been hoping it would take a while to kick in, though whatever kind of ears they are, he doesn't know. Yuugi bites his bottom lip and lowers his hands, hooking his thumbs in his belt loops, cheeks turning slightly pink as he catches the murmur thanks to his new ears. They flick as he tilts his head, considering before shrugging.]
It'd be nice if it was someone new like me...but it doesn't really matter.
no subject
But you know, I think there's a pretty strong chance of it! Since it's only recently that people already here have had room made for others, there's going to be more empty trailers to fill than half empty ones, I think!
[She is Probably Wrong.]
no subject
[Though, everything had started when he'd completed the puzzle. Yuugi's hand draws to his torso, fingers finding his shirt and curling around them in lieu of the puzzle's absence, his stomach twisting. No. He wasn't going to think about that right now.
Something about that catches his attention and he looks at her, curious.]
Did they complete their contracts?
no subject
no subject
And others stay?
no subject
Since you go back to the time you came from, it can make it that much more worthwhile-and then when the time comes you want to leave, you just finish the contract and go home!
[She says while consistently putting it off.]
no subject
[No. No he's not getting his hopes up like this. There's no reason to believe there's even a coincidental chance, so why think there is? Yuugi stuffs that thought down and shakes his head, then smiles.]
But in the meantime it's nice to have someone from our world here with me, even if our times are about thirty years apart.
no subject
It means you know what Synchro monsters are, right?
no subject
[Yuugi worries his bottom lip, scuffing his sneaker against the ground. He had let Atem take control of that duel because of the grief that had sunk its claws into him, but he'd received a play by play later when the damage from Paradox's rampage had been reversed.]
Some sort of machine or warrior with high defense.
no subject
B-But that's not how Synchros work in general! ...ahh, I wish I had one so I could show you, now...
[Sadly, she doesn't though.] But Aslla Piscu is a tribute summon, and the Fortune Ladies and Fortune Fairies are better with each other than with bigger monsters...
no subject
[That had been the best way to describe it at least. Yuugi really didn't remember much about the fight. Wrapping his arms around himself, he cocked a hip, blinking.]
Tribute summon? Like how you can pay life points instead of tributing monsters?
no subject
So... 2 plus 6 for 8, or 1 plus 3 plus 1 for 6!
[Also-] I-It's just a normal tribute...when you tribute monsters to summon a more powerful one, right?
