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. |

"Considering how badly the Circle had fallen apart once everything started happening, I'd say Portland-Ash had a lot more to worry about than one errant mage."
He hopes Ash understands what he meant by 'everything.' It's hard to find a way to describe all the drama and confusion that goes along with a world-changing ritual in just one word.

"Really, I think all of us want to put that month behind us as quickly as possible."

The sooner everything could get back to normal around this place, the better. Though, considering that the Ringmaster's currently an egg...well, it might take a while before normal happens.

She waved a hand vaguely, because SHE didn't know, except to worry.

"I'll be fine eventually," Strange simply remarks, with a small smile on his face. He's not going to pretend that he's perfectly fine right now--especially since if someone started asking more about the circumstances of Portland's last week, there's no way anyone would be fine from that. But he doesn't want Ash to worry. "These things always take more time than we realize."

"Well. If there's anything I can do? And I mean anything, there's a hell of a lot I can do." Though she paused then, scratching her cheek thoughtfully with one claw. That looked like it should hurt, honestly, though it really didn't. "Though I'm pretty sure directly curing mental trauma with magic would just be all sorts of bad, so let's not try that."
no subject
"At least, that's how it worked in my world," he quickly amends. "But no, I can't think of anything needed in the first place--aside from the dish soap, of course, which you've already brought over. I'll be certain to return it once I've finished."

Small wonder her amoral self had disturbed her so much. Ash knew perfectly well just what she could accomplish with that personality and her actual power.
no subject
"The reaction of the people themselves might be just as bad as the side effects. I doubt anybody would want their minds tampered with any time soon even if it was intended to help."
You know, because of that whole fake memories thing and all that.
no subject
For all that Ash worried about her amoral self, she might be able to worry a little less if she thought about it -- when her first reaction to the suggestion is quick indignation and assurances that she wouldn't use her magic like that without consent.
"But I wouldn't do it WITH permission either, because -- yeah, I don't know how it'd come out."
no subject
"Of course, since we've started talking about this memory nonsense again, it wouldn't surprise me if we're dangerously close to jinxing the next place the carnival stops at. Perhaps we should stop while we're still ahead?"
It's Strange trying to turn the conversation back to something teasing and fun because the more he talks about people possibly meddling with memories, the more he really doesn't want to think about people possibly meddling with memories.

"Though I'll admit, I am still a bit confused as to how the economy there actually worked in the first place." Strange had gotten the basic gist of Pokemon battles but surely an entire world couldn't run on dogfighting and then taking other people's money.
