⇨ 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.

Naturally, it would be Very Bad if there was an Actual avatar of destruction here. But also, that wasn't really an answer, so Reira just sort of squints for a moment, trying to parse something she can assume as one from the words.

"....So then.... ....He is sleeping?" she repeats, blinking. "....because I can feel everyone's feelings....so if I can't feel his, then that must mean he's sealed really, really well, right?" It isn't something someone would Lie about after all (And hey, Anghel believes it, so technically he ISN'T lying-)

Regardless, she's just trying to make sure you're not going to explode, or something.

That would be bad. "....that sounds sort of like home, anyway..."

Yuya turns to Yuzu, equally confused. "It's Yugo! You know, he asked to stay at our cabin a few days ago..." Wait.

He looks between Yuzu and Yugo quickly, leaving this whole plate of Gingerbread cookies in Reira's reach without thinking about it. "You two really haven't run into each other yet?!" He hopes when he talked to Yugo about Yuzu not recognizing him, he didn't take it to mean avoiding her...
soft_focus: (-glugglug-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-02 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Uh oh.

Crunch. Reira will just bite off a chunk of cookie, for now. "Mnhmn.... ....Yuugo used to look like Yuuya... ...He's the one that looks like him from the Synchro dimension," she explains somewhat casually. "....He was staying at my cabin, but then he had a fight with Foster, so we told him to stay somewhere else in case Foster asked him to punch him again." wh-

Well.

That aside. She looks to Yuugo. "....You were looking for me?"
bananaspeedrider: (Oh..?)

"Wasn't my fault for just not being around so uh... hi Yuzu."

Awkward and late greeting is awkward. But certainly if one looks past the unnervingly lizard-like changes... well Yugo likely looks more like his Standard double's older brother than an identical twin.

[ Strange is also starting to get tipsy: the fact that he takes that bottle and just chugs a good portion of it doesn't help. ]

I'm surprised, though. I thought you had a boyfriend?
kingsroads: (small little smiles)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-12-02 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't. [ Strange offers his wrist for Syrlya to feel. As he touches the mirrored coatings, he'll find that they're just that: mirrors. The coating is cool to the touch and feels more metallic-like than Strange's skin ever did. ]

If it is a poison, it doesn't seem to affect me. These grow over wounds.
kingsroads: (well drat now)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-12-02 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd help him as best I could," Strange answers, without hesitation, though giving Childermass an odd little frown. "After all, we did serve together."

He doesn't really see what Childermass is trying to get at with this line of questioning. Sorry Childermass, Strange is dense. Undoubtedly (at least, undoubtedly in Strange's mind) it has something to do with him accidentally commanding Childermass for an answer or the larger problem of Strange's grumpy fight with Lapis. But what exactly is he trying to say overall?
hurtcomfort: (huh what?)

[personal profile] hurtcomfort 2017-12-02 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it is? This stuff is shared? Well, at least in Cole's mind, that means there's only one option for this stuff. (And not just because he knows he doesn't eat, he's not entirely certain he can smoke to begin with.)

"Do both of you want some as well?"

Sharing is caring, 9S and Rita.
anti_nonsense: (burning passion!)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-12-02 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm out of it?" she repeats, seemingly indignant but not quite getting the tone right. She faces 9S with an accusing look that's somewhat dampened by the glassiness of her eyes. "I'm not... you're out of it."

Maybe there was some alcohol in that potion she drank, but it's not like it got her drunk. She doesn't look drunk, does she? Sure, she practically stumbled over here, but that's just... because of the poison, and stuff.

"You think you can just dump a love confession on someone and then disappear? You're way out of it, mister." The more she repeats the phrase, the less she seems to be comprehending it.
anti_nonsense: (Can you say that again but less stupid?)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-12-02 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
"What the hell kind of records have you been looking at..." Rita sighs, giving 9S a look of disbelief. After thousands of years, that's what gets preserved?

There's an instant of panic when Cole takes the cue to offer her some, but she quickly dismisses it with a shake of her head.

"Yeah, no... I'll pass. A researcher needs to always keep a clear mind." And she embarrassed herself horribly when she got drunk off that cure, so there's that too. The last thing Rita wants is to wake up once again with the realization that she spent an evening babbling about her feelings... and what if she did something even stupider? Nuh-uh. No way is she risking it.
anti_nonsense: (that's why I'm a genius and you're not)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-12-02 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Reading, huh... So he is trying to do it properly. [For a minute, Rita was worried he was going to teach Yuya to kiss things and hope for the best, or some other magical method of his that flies in the face of common sense...]

If you need someone to clarify any concepts or to practice with, I could help you out with that.
hippocarnival: (✮ 062 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2017-12-02 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
He's making a lesson plan and everything. [It is, in fact, shockingly proper compared to what it could have been.

He smiles brightly when Rita's offers help as well.]
Because you're an expert on it too, right? You know a lot about fire magic... what other magic do you know?

STREAKER ALERT

[personal profile] motivenotfound 2017-12-02 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Mari is in like, ten thousand percent of a hurry here. She could have planned ahead and bundled up to get there, but she's superhumanly fast! Who cares!

Answer: this guy, apparently.

"Whoops~!"

She doesn't stop for him, streaking (ha) her way to the tub and doing an extremely unnecessary front hand spring to its edge before sliding in, sinking all the way up to her still-human ears in the steaming water.

She rises up, tipping her head back and closing her face-eyes with an exaggerated sound of relief.

"Aahhhhh....!"

A lot of her other eyes are still open. Under water. Gross.
motivenotfound: (Default)

SORRY FOR THE WAIT

[personal profile] motivenotfound 2017-12-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)


"I like your hair!" Mari calls out over the sound of Yuzu's scream.

She's already in the process of making a new snowball.

Well. Correction: she's already in the process of making a new snowball with one pair of hands.

The other pair just finished.

"Okay, catch...!"
insidescoop: (MMMMMM...)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-02 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's not exactly something I tended to do..! [She protests, huffing somewhat.] Even when I wore them, I just pushed them up at the sides!
insidescoop: (well shoot)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-02 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Mhhnnn....it's definitely quieter.... ...mostly, he was pretty sneaky, since the Ringmaster made it impossible for him to try possession, or anything like that, [She explains, sighing.]

It was when I realized he'd always just be waiting for a window to do something that....well.

[Carly, it was a demon. Don't feel bad about falling for a demon being tricky, it's sort of what they Do.]
insidescoop: (Bwueh?)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-02 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
AHHHH- Y-You know me really well, [She wheezes, shaking a bit. She looks at her hand, looking it over for a moment only to jump.] Heh!? Fold, seriously..!?

[He's seen her around and thinks, oh no, she's been wearing the same outfit for like a month? Fashion-conscious as he is that's horrifying.]

Don't worry about it! Hardly anyone comes in with the daily necessities. If the [Pause; he thinks 'comb', then wait, lizard] toothbrush or whatever in your trailer isn't enough you can ask around, too.

But some guy had like twenty sets of pajamas made, it's totally cool getting you set up with a few more sets of clothes.

Rita is totally out of it. Nevertheless, the heat still rushes to 9S' cheeks.

"A love confession!?" he splutters, his voice high and strained.

Is that what she thought their conversation was!? It wasn't, he never, that hadn't been his intention at all! A love confession is usually someone declaring I love you! after performing some kind of dramatic act, isn't it? So how the heck did she get that idea!?

"But you're a human! I couldn't...!"

His ability to form coherent sentences has flown out the window, alongside Rita's lucidity and dignity.
kingsroads: (maybe we can talk about other things?)

[personal profile] kingsroads 2017-12-02 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Strange knows vaguely where Yuya is. After all, he's got a good idea where that second snowball came from, even if he was too busy wiping snow off his face when it hit. Quickly, Strange scoops up two snowballs and throws them vaguely in the direction where Yuya is.

One of them's way off mark. But the other's close enough that it might hit Yuya.

Lambert squints at it, but it's all nonsense to him -- and huh. Would you look at that? Looks like someone kept something else from Portland after all, though it certainly isn't what Lambert expected him to.

"Is that how it works?" he asks, still grinning shittily, though he doesn't expect Strange to pick up on what exactly he's laughing about. The magician never does, when he starts going on about something or another... "Seems like a strange way to do business. How do they even know you aren't just buying the gifts for yourself?"

Scout pauses to look at the girl and the winged lapine that she'd seen in passing in the store, and comes over to say hello.

She has a birdlike togetic but it's circling overhead, making grumbling noises that she suspects are about the cold. Scout herself has a jacket and thin gloves, a little light for this weather, but she's doing all right. Even if it's a little unpleasant putting bare hoof-claws on snow and her tail radiates heat around the sort of sleeve she put over much of it, she's trained to ignore a degree of discomfort.

"You picked up a friend, huh?"
hurtcomfort: (get yourself some expressions my man)

[personal profile] hurtcomfort 2017-12-02 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Cole frowns for a moment before shaking his head. "My purpose is to provide. Healing, listening, or warmth. It doesn't really matter which."

He doesn't think there's another danger. At least, he hopes there isn't another danger. But Anghel was cold and shivering and needed warmth so Cole gave him a scarf. In Cole's mind, it's as simple as that.
hurtcomfort: (get yourself some expressions my man)

[personal profile] hurtcomfort 2017-12-02 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Cole looks a bit confused at that. What's a therapist? Is it just someone who helps others? Does that make him a therapist?

Though, at Yuya's question, Cole nods. Yuya still doesn't understand. But he's trying. And maybe this could help. "I'm not people," Cole explains. "I thought I was, but I'm not. Feeling is what I am, what I do."
