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. |

[He slicks down his feathers and becomes weirdly lean and skinny, very quickly. Still huge, but there's this vaguely unfriendly look to this posture. Peacat's put his ears back and started looking around.]
If a bird does this it's probably nervous or afraid. Puffing up means being comfortable, or angry, or sick, depending. Look, this is friendly.
[Julien relaxes the hold of his feathers and fluffs out his head and neck, all rounded and ruffly.]
no subject
[....Also friendly, but-] How come the most fluffy isn't the most friendly...
no subject
[For reasons.]
Oh well I can explain that. Why don't you put our friend back in his house? He looks like he's tired of being carried.
no subject
....So....Explain it?
no subject
It's pretty simple! You fluff out your feathers for different reasons. If you're cold or you're really sick it's to keep warm. If you're mad it's so you look bigger and badder, and that's also the spikiest one, but both of those are kinda pineconey.
Comfortable and friendly look pretty similar in the front, but you can be one and not the other, right? Usually they're kinda related. You fluff out your head feathers to make it easier for other birds to come preen you, and they don't usually do that with the rest of your body.
no subject
...you looked soft.
no subject
[He lowers his head and widens his stance, spreading his wings and raising and fanning his tail, and just sort of expands into an angerfloof that seems to be too big to fit through a double door. She could probably stick an arm into his neckfluff and not hit skin until well past her elbow.
It does look less soft.]
no subject
....So you only get round and soft if you're sad and cold...?
[BUT WHY CAN'T YOU BE ROUND AND SOFT JUST TO BE ROUND AND SOFT this is unfair and possibly worse than the inevitable crushing realization of it being a poor idea to eat only candy, which she is long overdue for.]
no subject
I can get all round and soft if I'm comfortable or happy! But it gets really hot, doing that, it's like wearing a big coat, so I'm not like that for long, usually. If it's really cold out I can be happy and warm.
[The kid looks so sad, though, he's gonna say:]
Do you want to ride on my back?
no subject
...Julien has fixed it rather quickly.] ...I can have a ride? [OHhhhhhh~]
no subject
[Julien goes and settles down, lying on his chest like a loaf. A really, really big loaf. The top of his back is nearly three feet up and he looks like he'd lie comfortably but without much spare space on a queen-sized mattress. With his tail off the end.]
And be up front, Reira. My lower back is too tender, plus then you'd slide off into my tail and then you'd get lost.
[The feathers on his wings seem more smooth than traditionally soft. Slick and structured, like ridged silk, but with the vaguely plasticky feel of, well, big feathers. They're more yielding on his back, and the ones on his neck are so soft that fingers can't fully appreciate it, touch receptors are just too widely spaced there. He also gives off quite a bit of heat.]
no subject
Except. Erm.] ...Why would I get lost?
no subject
[His biggest tailfeathers are about as long as she is tall, and there's a lot of them.
Julien shifts a folded wing so it can serve as a step. His feathers are going to get dirty, but hey, he's got to bathe to get the residue of cat off his beak anyway.]

[Julien rouses and converts himself into a fluffblossom, standing his feathers out. His contour feathers consist of the firmer, shaped outer part and the clinging downy part underneath. Since he's so big those feathers are long.]
Go on, stick your hands into my neck. You can grab some to keep steady and it's easier on both of us if you do that near the base of the feather.
[The heat he gives off is quickly enough to soak into bones. Julien wasn't kidding.]
no subject
Got it..!
no subject
[When he lets his feathers relax back to their normal position that pushes out some of the hot air collecting under them, but then the general heat eases a bit. Julien pushes his feet down and stands up, rocking a bit as he does so. If he keeps his neck curved in a good S, hidden by all those feathers so he seems short-necked instead, she can see over the top of his head.
...This does kind of pull. Suppressing the urge to shake off, he decides not to say anything.]
Anywhere in particular you want to go, or should I just start walking?
no subject
no subject
Walking tour time, then! [He's not going to bring up flying with a passenger yet. When he starts to walk the motion's not completely smooth.]
Let me know if you start sliding, okay?
no subject
[And awww what's the point of bird then!!] ...Where are we going first though?
...Are you going to be worried the whole time?
no subject
[He doesn't quite break his stride when she asks her second question but it. Bothers him, though he doesn't let any in his voice. Despite his dramatic extroversion and willingness to look silly, Julien is only so open.]
You can tell, huh?
no subject
....Is it bad if someone can..?
no subject
But it would be unfair to act on that. He's projecting. It's not the kid's fault. Lever the cap back onto that well, Julien. He wants his strongest emotions to be selfless concern and happiness.]
It's complicated, Reira. Knowing you can sense the big things probably isn't that bad, even if I don't really want people knowing when I get sad for no reason. The little things too is kinda creepy, though.
no subject
...why is it 'creepy'..? [She asks, sounding a little confused.]
