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. |

Sometimes they need vacations, sometimes they're left behind in other worlds... you know. It happens.
no subject
Well, just as she's obviously not actually asking, he probably doesn't mean that it'll happen to just anyone. Probably something...important has to happen, or similar, she determines. As it is. "Umn...I'm supposed to stay here for a year, anyway, so..." So, given that she's probably Not leaving early...
"...What do I have to do if I'm...here?"
no subject
He nods, and lifts the dwarf wyrm to his shoulders, now that its checkup is over. It stretches up to rest its chin on his head, holding onto his hair and shirt with its little legs.
"Well, if you'll come with me, I can show you around the menagerie to give you an idea. Our job is just to take care of the animals, make sure they're happy and healthy... and that they, uh, stay in their enclosures. Actually, they all got loose recently - most of them have been retrieved, but a few are still out and about."
no subject
"...They're not where they're supposed to be?" she questions, concern coming into her tone. "Which ones are still out?"
no subject
He shrugs, before realizing he should probably specify - "They're not really... typical cats, like most people would see in their own worlds. There are a few different ones, but they're all pretty odd... the Ringmaster likes collecting odd animals, so."
no subject
She's listening as best she can at least, and doesn't feel like it'll be as strange as he says (it will be).
no subject
Sorry, Reira, was this not what you were expecting, because it sure is how the menagerie here is.

Oh right. "...Where did they normally stay?" she asks, remembering that they were supposed to look over the menagerie originally.

"Is there a lot to do for all the animals..?"
no subject
“To be blunt, yes… there are quite a few animals, and they all need to be fed, groomed, have their enclosures cleaned every so often… fortunately, since the habitats are all in the woods, some of the mess they leave behind can just be left to break down naturally, but that can’t account for all of it.” Almost as an afterthought, he adds, “It probably won’t be too bad with both of us doing the work, though.”
no subject
"...That has to be every day, right? ...the things that aren't cleaning the areas up."
no subject
He pauses and looks at the surrounding trees, seeming to think something over for a moment. Then he lifts his arm, letting the dwarf wyrm clamber onto a branch. "--Here we go. This is the area this guy lives in."
