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. |

I'm glad to have met you, Miss Carly! I hope everything turns out well for us both!
no subject
Do you know what your job will be while you're here though..? [she asks, moving to lead Medli toward the trailers.] I was only told we'd be sharing the trailer, so I don't know anything else...
no subject
[ Yes, this small bird child is a beast tamer. Just have faith... ]
no subject
[Whaaaaaaaaaat- She stares for...more than a few moments before realizing she hasn't been walking for a few moments either.] Well...B-Beast tamers are performers who work with animals...
...Normally really big scary ones to show how impressive they are to the audien- Are you sure that one's fine?!
no subject
Big scary animals, huh... I don't really know how it'll go, but I... I'm sure I can do it!
[ She's not sure at all. But fake it til you make it, right? ]
no subject
[...In hindsight she should probably not be scaring the young bird girl.] ...Well, if the Ringmaster made that choice, then it's probably fine..! It's probably like how something can look scary when it's actually not! Aha!
[SHE DOESN'T KNOW BUT THIS IS GOOD RIGHT?]
no subject
Uh-huh! I'll figure something out. And if not, I can just... fly out of harm's way, haha...
[ save her ]
no subject
She could cry if she wasn't so determined to make sure no one else cried!
Realistically she herself is likely the only one at risk of that...] I-If there's ever anything you need, I'll definitely make sure nothing happens..! I get a lot of breaks during the day after all..![They should be coming up to their trailer soon at least. The perfect distraction, maybe? The outside is fairly simple-mostly white, with a few stripes, there's an awning covering the doorway and 'garden'. A few things have already been set up there over the years for some personal charm-a bird bath, a mail 'sock', some flowers...it's pretty simple, and she's not really used to even having a garden she'll admit.]
no subject
But the subject of the Rito's imminent demise was unimportant at the moment. This little building was... interesting. ]
So this is where I'll be staying? It's... [ definitely smaller than home. ] made of materials I don't recognize... What's it like inside?
no subject
I think you'll like it though! I even got everything nice and clean, just so it's ready!
[She hurries over to the door, opening it with a click-they'll be coming with a pantry at the side, a couch ahead, and the sink...sort of in the middle at the other side honestly.
It's very different from the sort of home Medli is used to, no doubt!]
no subject
[ Stepping inside and looking around, she is indeed in for quite the shock. Everything is... so pristine! A nicer kind of dwelling than even the humans she knew had!
... she feels like she doesn't belong here. For the moment, she's looking around, at a loss for words. ]
no subject
Same with the fridge. And the stove. Oven. Microwave...erm.]
...and there was only one bed of course, but here we have two! [Carly continues, turning to face Medli.] They're back here, there's lots of space beside them too so it's pretty easy to get in and out!
no subject
But Medli isn't familiar with those to begin with. And so, gesturing at various appliances: ] Okay, but... what are all these... other things? I've never seen anything like them!
no subject
...Do they not...exist where you came from?
no subject
[ She sits on the couch, holding her head in her hands. It's all too much... ]
no subject
[HOW DOES SHE DESCR- wait.] Um....
Well, basically...have you ever seen a thunderstorm, and seen lightning? We figured out how to make something like that, and send it through lots of cables, and create power for lots of different things! Like lights-!
Or fridges, for keeping stuff cold!
Or ovens and microwaves, [she continues, pointing to each thing,] for making stuff hot!
...And TVs! [..................ok this one will be. Um.
Harder.] ....FOR WATCHING STUFF!
no subject
... okay, well... I'll leave them to you, okay? I don't want to mess anything up.
I... I do have one request. Can I have the bed on top? I'm... used to high places, that's all. If you'd prefer it, though...
no subject
No, no, it's really easy trust me! I'll teach you how it works ok?
[And!!] Oh!
[She rushes over to the bed area, opening the door to show her the bunks.] I actually cleaned it up for you! The blankets and pillows are still nice and warm from the dryer...
