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. |

You don't say if you're that kind.
[Are you really going to dance around this with wordplay and expect to get away with it, Joker? Really, she'll stop prying if you ask, but trying to dodge with verbal trickery won't really work.]
no subject
[WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS ZECORA... WHY ARE YOU SO SMART. And why does he keep spilling things like this, for one thing.]
[...Although he guesses he knows perfectly well why.]
Just- a lotta background and stuff, wouldn't be much appealin' ta anyone lookin' for something deeper or someone lookin' for somethin' short, yeah? Anyway, what about you, do ya think ya could be with anyone in the carnival? In general, I mean.
no subject
I do not mean to deride --
But is that for YOU to decide?
If you do not hide
What you feel inside
Then why not give romance
An honest chance?
If they say 'no'
Then at least you know.
[Like that. That may actually be a little more clear than much of her advice, actually.]
For me, none have confessed
Any interest.
Even here they find
I am not their kind.
no subject
I suppose yer right.
[The city is a bit closer now, and Joker makes his way around familiar faces (in more ways than one) with ease.]
Still, what about yer interest?
no subject
First off you must understand
My leaving home was not planned --
Though at this later date
I think it was a sure fate.
The past and friends of which I've spoke
Were almost all pony folk
And a baby dragon for good measure.
Their friendship is something I treasure.
But no zebras, not one.
In years I have see none.
So the answer must bore you to tears:
I haven't thought to look in years.
no subject
And s'never bothered ya?
no subject
It is a thing I can take or leave.
If it came I would not say 'no'.
But I am happy already, so
What in this can bother me?
[But she looks up at Joker with a wry little smile.]
Why the curiosity?
no subject
Well, I like ta think we're both good friends
And it'd make me glad if ya had a happy end
no subject
Happiness has only once source.
[She pauses in her steps to lift one hoof to her chest. She kind of had to admit that humans were built in a way that made this gesture far more effective when they did it, numerous other flaws aside, but she's pretty sure he gets the point.]
no subject
Although from you that's no surprise~.
[Chuckling, he looks ahead.]
Still, if ya ever feel lonely or need a bit of help
I'll be right there if ya ever make a yelp
no subject
Given what we have been discussing
Just what sort of aid are you offering?
no subject
I'll have ya know my intentions are perfectly pure!
There's no reason ta go and be unsure!
no subject
And yet pure intentions are all I see.
Is there any wonder there's no date for me?
no subject
Then that's enough for me
[Coming to a stop, he opens a small gate. With such nice weather in the Summerlands, it's hardly any wonder that a lot of parties and dinners happen outside.]</small. And here we are.
no subject
Thank you for the escort.
Nopony can say you are no good sport.
