⇨ THE SUMMERLANDS

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 138 - Day 152
Where: The Summerlands
What: The Ringmaster brings the carnival to the Summerlands immediately after being freed from Portland so that everyone can take a fucking nap. Her included.
Warnings: Individually marked! Most likely discussion of torture and trauma in here.

DAYS OF SUMMER

You made it! And things are back to normal... more or less. Upon waking, you will be greeted with a clear blue sky and gentle breeze – the carnival has found itself situated between a pair of mountain peaks, with great fields of flowers extending in the distance. In the other direction, you’ll see mountain-top cities and tall waterfalls accenting vast swaths of forest.

Some of you will already know this place. It’s the Summerlands. You game here once to rest in safety nearly a year ago, and now you’ve come to rest once again.

► WAKING UP: Shortly after the carnival arrives, the Ringmaster will send out a somewhat cryptic radio message - but her immediate location won't be clear. Whatever items you had on your person at the time the Severing was broken will still be on your person, including whatever clothing. All of the animals and pets of the carnival will have returned to the grounds as well, though they are currently free from their designated living spaces. Things in the carnival will appeared to have naturally aged a month, as if the carnival was been sitting here empty and waiting while everyone was in Portland. The lawn needs mowing.

► SUMMER CITY: After the Summer Fae become aware of everyone's presence, they will welcome you into their city. There are stairs that lead up the sides of the mountains, but thankfully there are also magical means of getting up there as well. The Summer Fae will be willing to help workers with the injured as needed, offering herbal remedies and healing magic to those that want it. You'll also be invited to join them for dinner, but they will not be particularly offended if they are turned down, for now.

► SUMMER PEOPLE: The fae here will mostly enjoy the company of any carnival members that offer it - it doesn't seem that much happens here besides day after day of peaceful meditation and relaxation. It is not uncommon to see Summer Fae spent days doing exactly the same thing, whether that be enjoying the weather, listening to music, or dancing - the day and night periods may be similar to earth, but when you don't need rest it can all blur together just the same. Some of the fae work on feats of agriculture or craftsmanship, and while there is no particularly need to work in this place, they take pride in the fact that they do.

► NEW ARRIVALS: Though the Ringmaster will not be offering much guidance for the first week or so, eventually the carnival will begin running for a few small performance sessions, off and on, as a thank you to their fae hosts. The carnival will also be open to receiving new arrivals during that period, and so there will likely be some newbies to train and get orientated as well.

[That makes him laugh, and he waltzes over to ruffle her hair- hope none of the wood of his hand catches it.]

Congratulations! But that just means now we gotta figure out a fun way, don't we?

[Joker seems to give this some thought before shrugging.]

Naaaaaah. Her girlfriend is here, she's fine, right?

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-08-14 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)

pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-15 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
So we'll have one when she stops bein' an egg, ta celebrate her not bein' an egg.
fortuneglass: (o-o?)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-08-16 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Do you really think that'll be enough for her though...?
pipers_son: (sillica) (If I buy you $300 worth of Popeyes)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-19 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
....I mean. How drunk do ya think we can get her?

[Joker no]

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-08-20 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
....Well, with the Ringmaster...

[...Very Drunk?]
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-21 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I think we have our plan.

Time ta ask folks around here for their best booze!
fortuneglass: (o-o?)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-08-22 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehhhh.... ...best isn't strongest right?
pipers_son: (sillica) (I will be there.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-25 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Joker taps his lips and winks.]

Only one way ta find out~.
fortuneglass: (.A.)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-08-26 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I better not find you passed out with a hang over....
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (I'm gonna be the best dressed)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-27 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, hey, it'll be fine. I don't drink much after all~.

[Angel him sure seemed to get into it a couple of times.... But only at the most stressing of circumstances, so Joker thinks it was warranted.]

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-08-28 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
....I don't think that's how it works...

I think that might even make the aftermath worse for you!
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-08-30 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, it'll be fine, it'll be fine~.

Anyway, are ya doin' work right now?

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-08-31 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-!

[Right, work.] W-well, mostly, it's just organizing...there's a lot of stuff that I have to consider now as the manager, and even though I was...sort of doing it, now I have to do extra steps if it makes sense..
pipers_son: (sillica) (If I buy you $300 worth of Popeyes)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-09-01 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I know what ya mean. But don't overwork yerself, alright? We won't be doin' too much in the Summerlands, y'know.
fortuneglass: (:'3)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2017-09-01 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not~! A...Actually, I feel like this is my one chance to get everything under control before we actually go back to work...ahah...
