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. |

Which is to say, strange as his tone sounds, she swears he's telling the truth. ...which of course means that first she just stares. Then she furrows her brows, thinking it over. And then-
"...black..?" She starts a little nervously, tilting her head. "Like...burned up black..?"
Her voice raises, a bit of panic in the tone. "Are...are you okay?!"
no subject
Simplistically dark is bound to be as easy as simplistically happy, right? Both avoid having to look to deep into the way you actually feel.
"Yeah! Burnt up - just like that!" he agrees, before she begins to panic, and the moment that she does catches him entirely off guard. His face falls. "I mean... yes! Er... no? I'm not okay, but it's not in a being on fire kind of way, it's more just... my feelings are hurt?"
This... is complicated.
no subject
Phew! She sighs...but, she does still look a bit worried. He DOES feel a little...gloomy, if she focuses on it. Or grey? Hard call, and Reira does her best to make sense of it. First thing first after all-
"...but then...why didn't you just say you're sad? ...if you're sad, isn't there something to make you feel better..?" Hurt Feelings are definitely Sad, considering what happened whenever she got hurt by feelings, she figures. It was never a fun time, and it always made HER feel sad at least. It most likely works the same in reverse.
no subject
"Anyway, being sad is my thing, now, so... that's just how it is."
no subject
At all. "...That doesn't sound satisfying, that sounds sad..." She observes, managing to sound both for and against the other's point somehow. "...is there really no reason? ...it sounds weird."
Just sayin'.
no subject
And yet, somehow a moment like that where his real emotions bubble to the surface, this stops feelings as safe. He hugs his arms around himself and starts walking again.
no subject
They strike close, in a way, to how Yuuya argued against her, and while a large part feels it isn't fair, another part agrees, the two feelings clashing as much as the anger and grief that rather literally hit her in the face.
....She breathes.
And to an extent, her words are as much for herself as they are a protest for Steven.
"...but being sad all the time... ...hurts. ...I don't want people to be hurt..."
But then again, perhaps no one can save everyone from that sort of thing.
no subject
"But they do get hurt," he says, his voice strained and obviously holding back emotion. "And sometimes fixing it isn't something you can just decide to do, even if it'd be nice to."
And then he keeps going.
no subject
"If feeling that way hurts...if it hurts more than anything, why would someone want that all the time?!" It isn't just a matter of being nice. It would be nice to make someone happy, certainly. But there was more than that, there was the choice, the desire, the reason.
...Maybe no one knows.
She doesn't follow him-it hurts, even just a little. She turns the other way instead, seeking out the gates to a realm more at peace.
no subject
It's not like he ever really wanted to feel like this, anyway.
