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. |

Then rolls for intimidation.]Do you try my patience on purpose?
[Does she look like someone who could be the slightest bit stealthy or not recognized by her silhouette alone?
If her ice cream melts because of this interruption she'll be even more annoyed.]
no subject
[...You know, for all the intimidation factor, between her bird legs and Jasper's slight shrink...
This is about the same difference between her and Jack! ...Which is a lot, but it's still totally fine!
probably] ...No?But you definitely weren't wearing that earlier, so if it's not for festivities then there has to be some other reason, and since we only just got all of these new recruits, it must be that!
[ s t o p ]

[Sadly, the reason any sort of prying bothers Jasper is because she is hiding something. But her reasons for wearing a mask have nothing to do with anything Carly has guessed so far.
She just doesn't want the guessing to continue until it arrives at that point.]
Fine. You're right. I was trying to avoid being noticed by someone. Is that what you want to hear?
the only thing keeping her alive is the no fight rule stf...
It's both good and bad that she believes the other however, as while it does keep Carly from guessing...she's apparently not so frightened that she'll leave. No, more than anything-] B-Because...
Because you can't solve anything with hiding..! If there's someone here you haven't seen in a long time, hiding won't fix it! You have to talk to them head on!
[This time, you dug the hole, Jasper.]
no subject
[She can't believe they're even having this conversation, especially since she's now arguing for an issue that doesn't exist.]
You don't know anything about the situation! [Because there isn't one.]
no subject
Besides, you obviously aren't solving it right now are you?!
no subject
[It's a real shame that carnival rules discourage her from punching Carly.]
no subject
W-Well..! [...............She. Isn't really sure where to go from here though. It'd be one thing if she had a clue beyond the apparent hiding from someone deal but...nope.] It is! Because if it could be something that makes you happy in the end, than that's important!
...So I'll just have to find them for you! [she declares, quite determined. It's probably the perfect opportunity to send her on a goose chase, at least-] Th-they're probably not hard to find, you're really tall, and orange, so whoever you're avoiding is probably tall...and orange...
[So far from the mark, it's sad.
dats racist carly]no subject
[Jasper leans back with a smirk, brushing her hair aside with one hand.]
Look all you want. Be an annoyance, if you're going to insist upon it.
[Please start looking for some random person who doesn't exist with absolutely no hints to go on.]
no subject
I will-! I'm going to find that person, and bring them back to you! Just watch!
[And just like that, she's off on that goose chase... ...and probably will be for a week, sadly.]
