⇨ THE LUNAR SOLSTICE

Who: Everyone!
When: Winter Breaks: Day 6 - Day 25
Where: THE MOON
What: The carnival journeys to one of its moons to celebrate the Lunar Solstice. More information here.
Warnings: Winter fun.

MOON WALKING

The journey to the moon only takes a blink of an eye, but it leaves the carnival far away beneath you. The second moon can be seen on the peripheral, massive compared to its usual view. At least when the holidays start out, there will be no notable wildlife on the moon, though this is something you can talk to the Ringmaster about if you think it needs a change. It sounds like this is the first time she's used it in quite a while - it probably needs some dusting off!

Claim your cabins, and proceed to... well, do whatever you want! There is no rush and little obligation, besides to enjoy yourself. For real, this time. She promises there will be no vampires. Or, at least, none that don't already work for the carnival.

CABINS: Living arrangements are character choice for this event, and there are a variety of cabins of various sizes, mostly built to house 2-6 people, though you can fit more in if you squish. They are all made of wood and of a rustic design - no fancy modern furniture, here! Each building is housed with a fireplace and the needed amenities. You can pick up materials to cook with the private kitchens if you like. Theoretically, you could spend the whole holiday sequestered away, watching the snow fall. Some of them also have outdoor hot tubs available!

ACTIVITIES: Activities are mostly going to be character driven, though there will be some large group games like bingo and maybe a poker tournament happening at some point in one of the festival halls. Otherwise, there is a lot to offer: skiing, snowboarding, hiking, ice sculpting, snowball fights - it goes on! If you'd like to run a winter activity, just let the mods know, and we will get the word out there for you.

FEASTING: Every day isn't a full-out feast because that would get a bit unhealthy, but there will be a number of specific feast events over the holidays where everyone is encouraged to let out their inner hedonist and stuff themselves. There will be one big feast per week, with smaller but also delicious meals offered in between. The feast dates will be B12, B18, and B24. There's also plenty of alcohol available for anyone who wants it.

SHOPPING: As mentioned in the planning post, there is a massive market being run by the World Walker Caravan! The Ringmaster has given everyone 1250 credits to spend on items, but there is a caveat - must spend at least 500 of those credits on gifts for other people. And it better be a good one, if you only buy one! (She will ask that you do not buy her presents, however. She appreciates the sentiment, but it seems sort of silly buying her things with her own money! If you'd like to gift her, please have it be something more personal or handmade, but you are not obligated to get her anything at all.)

TREATMENTS: The beginning of the holidays will also be about the time that the emergency Medical Team will have finalized their treatments for the Prince's poisoning. Watch out for further information on that - and make sure to get treated if you are suffering from petrification or poison induced illness! The holidays will be a lot more fun that way.

Well, it's not exactly a game... it's an activity. But it's fun because you can skate around really fast, and if you're good you can do tricks! [He points to some of the other skaters.]

But I guess it requires having feet.

The game's "never have I ever", not "never would I ever", right? I'm just trying to learn what experience you've got.

The answer, I've decided, is "some".

[ HOW VAGUE ]

With Papyrus and Sistina able to tag team (within a given radius of movement), the hours passed without too much stircrazy. There's a few more snow sculptures nearby, a goose-shaped snow angel, and at some point Papyrus took a trip back inside for food. Leftover containers are tucked just against the hot tub where they should stay warm enough not to freeze, Papyrus is absently munching on something while reading, and Sistina's settled on the tub's stairs, unwilling to look away from the waters for more than a couple minutes at a time.

"Hi, Sans," Papyrus puts the book down and grins at his brother. "You look better!"

No more stone, at least that he can see from here, and more signs of energy and curiosity. The green liquid knows its stuff, he concludes, and nods encouragingly. Finally, things can really start getting back to normal. A new normal. Which is more going forward... which is better, anyway.

"Mmmf. It's been a few hours," the daemon says, lifting her head from the rim. "I was getting worried. And your face markings changed, is that supposed to happen?"

Oh yeah?

[ She marches up to him, staring him straight in the eyes like his red pupils could literally blind her and she still doesn't flinch. ]

Only some?

"Great!" Yuya gestures for Cole to follow him right up the hills, past the cabins. It's going to be a bit of a walk up there, so Yuya stuffs his hands on his pockets and keeps his pace with Cole's.

"How are you, by the way? I mean, with the carnival and everything. I don't think I saw you after... everything was over."

Or still going on, but Yuya was understandably occupied.

HEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!? [Honestly? Carly was just scoping the place out for a later, eventual 'Christmas Trip'. Yuugo likes gambling, and she might as well be his weird aunt/'mom' at this point, so....why not treat the kid?

Unfortunately she's also the one being pointed at. So.
] M-ME!?

J-Junko, I'm definitely not a challenge!! Definitely not!! [SHE WILL OPENLY ADMIT HER POKERFACE SUCKS.]

NEVER HAVE I EVER...

Mnhhhh.... [Well. Carly has the Wine. The Glasses. The everything. She looks around them, ponders something and....] Oh~!

Never have I ever...Had less than one cup of coffee in a day~!

[THIS IS NOT A POINT OF PRIDE CARLY]
sarcaskick: (oh please DO go on)

[ He doesn't shy away, because why would he. In fact, it's time to go ahead and lean right into that there personal space! ]

Until shown otherwise.

[ She'll lean her head forward, her body a bit, and do the 'dusting off his shoulder' motion on him...

And then side step him and go to her bags for some proper clothes with a murmuring giggle. ]
sarcaskick: (what a smarmy douche)

[personal profile] sarcaskick 2017-11-26 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ whateveryouwantme.mp3

He smirks a little as she steps around him, pivoting on one metal heel to follow her out to get something actually warm on, because for all his grandstanding it is too fucking cold to be naked right now ]
sarcaskick: (what could possibly go wrong)

[personal profile] sarcaskick 2017-11-26 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's a lot of talking for a message that could have been conveyed with three words, "I was bored", but he's come to expect that from her so it's regarded with his usual indifference. ]

Am I supposed to buy you things in return? Is that how this works?

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-11-26 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He nods, scratching his chin as he tries to think of something.

"Not Moss, but maybe something like it."
disjunct: (001.)

[personal profile] disjunct 2017-11-26 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Meh.

[ She shrugs. ]

Do you think we, Junko Enoshima, have need of Earthly things? Besides, you could hardly surprise me...! Hoho!



Christmas is about spreading cheer and good will and all that crap... so not my thing.

He notices the glancing, and after a moment he's looking the small creature over too.

"What is it?"

He asks, not even really looking at Susan as he tries to see whatever's caught his brother's eye.

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-11-26 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"A little dragon..." He's not sure exactly what it's called, but that's obviously what it is. After a moment he looks up at Lauren.

"Sorry... We can keep looking now." Even as he says that though he ends up looking back at the dragon again.
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-11-26 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
So something naturey, then. Susan is quiet as he thinks about it for a moment.

"Maybe something like... Fern?" It's maybe not really related to moss, but it sounds cute as a name he thinks. "Or... Ivy, or maybe you could name it after an herb or something?"
spaghettimonster: (HUH???)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-26 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Papyrus echoes back, momentarily confused by the notion of plants growing where it's snowy.

"Is that... weather stuff?" He means seasons, but it's close enough for his purposes. Stuff that makes the environment change from day to day, or in cycles through the year. Instead of... being so consistent that areas are named for their predominant conditions.
mylastchance: (🍃 Drafty)

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-11-26 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever Susan is thinking, Lauren can't find it by simply looking at the beast. As Susan responds his attention shifts again back to his brother, and Susan's reluctance is obvious, even to him. He frowns.

"No I mean. Tell me what's on your mind."
mylastchance: (☀️ 029)

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-11-26 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ivy..." He says, testing the name. It's tail was made up of vines. They didn't have the leaves typical of an ivy plant, but that didn't make the name a bad fit. He smiles, nodding.

"I like it. Ivy."
wild_magic: (6)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-11-26 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He frowns as he looks away from both the animal and his brother, shaking his head after a moment. He feels silly, on the one hand, even if he can't seem to shake the feeling. It doesn't help that he's thinking about all of that again, when he'd only recently started to get over it more completely, only recently been able to sleep through the night without a nightmare or without jumping at a sudden noise. He bites his lip as he thinks of what to say, only to wince a little as his fang hurts more than he was expecting it to.

Finally he comes up with something, and he responds quietly.

"I feel bad for it. I don't-" He cuts himself off, taking another moment to continue again.

"I don't want anyone to hurt it. Or anyone to hunt it."
wild_magic: (12)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-11-26 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
He can't help but smile when Lauren likes his suggestion.

"I like it too! Do you think he will?"

Yeah, I noticed... I kinda miss being bipedal. Only having vines to work with kinda limits your horizons, haha--

Anyway-- [ showing concern is so hard? ] You okay?
mylastchance: (☁ 061)

[personal profile] mylastchance 2017-11-26 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. He sighs, looking back to the dragon before looking back to his brother again.

"You don't have to feel bad for it. It's safe here." He honestly believes that too, after interacting with the sellers here and seeing how they treated the animals. He only wants to reassure his brother.
wild_magic: (5)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-11-26 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Right. I know." And he really does know, and that's what's so hard about it. He knows the dragon is safe, but at the same time, he still feels like he has to take care of it. Even without that feeling, it's still cute, which only makes it harder.

"I can't explain it." Really that's the answer, when it comes down to it. He feels drawn to it, to this little dragon, and he can't put it in words, and he knows Lauren will think he's being stupid because of it. And so with another glance towards the dragon he turns away as if to leave.

Flowey's getting angrier, like a cat with its ears back except its all petals, but his face is a brick wall. Or rather, it's facing the wall and looking over the bedspread, terse just from being around Foster. Reira might be used to a lot of things, but why this? Who let her? Shouldn't someone be keeping an eye on her...?! He thinks, completely forgetting he's only a year her senior.

But he's also killed a child over and over again only to load a save and do it again, so I mean.

Foster is probably on a higher moral ground.

"A pillow is fine. Anything works, honestly. Monsters are made of magic, you know?"
