⇨ 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.

WILDCARDISH MAYBE?? it's Gift Time

JUST THE DYSFUNCTIONAL ASSHOLE SHE'S LOOKING FOR. Miko bounds through the snow, toting a wrapped package under one arm, and waves her free paw in the air.

"Yo, Foster! Get over here!"
criticallyfucked: (Remember the days)

[personal profile] criticallyfucked 2017-11-24 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Foster is... not expecting to be called out, or on, or at, or any of those prepositional phrases that involve someone yelling at him. He actually trips, stumbling on a chunk of packed powder and narrowly avoiding wiping out.

He does manage to turn around without any kind of serious harm, though.

"What--?"

He is actually briefly impressed by how ideally built for this weather Miko's back end is.

Tyki feels just about the same if only for the boredom that comes with not working or practicing. He's willing to let it slide given how he feels with that poison right now. While he could laze around in the house all this fresh snow was just calling him to indulge in it and that is why when he spots the skeleton from before he stops to watch the other playing in the snow.

He's bundled up in a warm coat that pulls around his throat enough to hide everything else about him as he pads towards the other with a cheerful tone. He might've made a bad impression before being a servant of the Manor but there was always time for second impressions.

She keeps sort of bouncing in place, because why would she not do that when she has CONVENIENT HOPPING LEGS.

"Jeez, dude, don't wipe out on me here. I got you something!" Then, remembering that this is Foster and he'll probably be... super weird about being given anything, she adds, "Maybe you'll be able to actually help with stuff with it!"

She proudly holds out the package, which has a handmade card taped to it, covered in glitter and reading "try not to fall on the sword dummy >:P"

Keeping the contents of a gift secret sounds SUPER fake.
criticallyfucked: (Where proud you stand)

[personal profile] criticallyfucked 2017-11-24 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, the fact that Miko treats him like he's fundamentally incompetent is a huge boon, and makes her presentation of this.... wrapped item significantly less antagonistic. Calling him a dummy and suggesting he needed help not to fall on his sword--especially when he nearly just fell anyway--is a nice touch.

But also:

Sword(?)

He glances up at her, wordless. Unreadable. Then glances back down to the package in his paws.

He starts out cautiously, picking at tape and corners with very specific attempt at control--but quickly discovers that he can just punch through the paper with his claws, and after a couple of 'mishaps,' just... rips it all off, albeit with somewhat less abandon than Miko probably would have.

It's--

Cole just brightens up as he hears Papyrus, demeanor shifting from his more closed off sort of quiet normal Cole self to something a bit more bright and open. He hadn't been paying attention to who he was talking to but good! It's him! He likes Papyrus, most people don't think as bright as he does.

Papyrus thinks that Cole's talking about the dragon, Cole's perfectly happy to roll with that, even though he doesn't think he was talking about the dragon in the first place.

"I've seen dragons before. This doesn't feel like them," Cole explains, as if it's perfectly possible for a snow dragon to be alive and breathing and growing. Though hang on a minute, "What was the snowman like?"

[ It's a simple party game and Strange can get smashed off of this. He's in. ]

Why not, [ Strange responds, with a shrug and a grin. After all, based on the fact that he's from the 1800s and not a teenage to twenty-something girl, this is going to end up with him and Junko both getting fairly drunk fairly quick just on those two points alone. Never have I ever put my hair in pigtails, hah, enjoy a really quick and boozy game, Junko ]

Ladies first, of course. [ said as he scoots some of the wine a bit closer towards him. ]

...does taking a sample count as doing harm if he makes sure not to hurt it?

Gongenzaka, sadly, didn't think to get a coat from wardrobe-possibly because he's just taking a small walk while he passes the time being PETRIFIED AND ILL-

But really, who's going to stop someone from throwing snow at him as a result? Or-]

-BSH-SH-SHHH

[Nope, that hit. The exact sound one would expect from hitting a bush, even.] HOHH-!?!

[Give him a moment to reel around-it's a bit slower going with half a rock body-] Y-YUUYA!

[They've been in snow before, Yuya knows he's not going to hurt Gongenzaka.

He's standing in the sunlight now, wrapping his arms around himself as he laughs joyfully.]
Got you!

[He composes himself enough to start making his way over to Gon, grinning wide.] You don't need a coat anymore?

[Given all that fur, you know.]
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-11-24 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
A-Aauh....well...for a short walk, it is certainly fine at least, [Gongenzaka mutters-and it is now that Yuuya might note that he's been holding his ears quite firmly at his mane.] ...However, no such coat has been tailored for this form; there is only so much we can demand of the wardrobe department, at this point...

While Papyrus was only minimally poisoned, being something of a picky eater who was never stabbed or captured... all the emotional turmoil through the last two weeks has been tiring. But not physically so, leaving him with extra energy to build up some enormous mounds of snow, taller than his head and fairly patted down.

As Tyki approaches, Papyrus is reaching into one of these columns, into one of the many holes punctuating it. Some have bones visibly sticking out, others are shaped like a bone had flown through at a nice silhouette-forming angle, and some, like the one he's reaching in, are just holes with loose powder trickling down. He looks over at the movement of Tyki's approach and absent-mindedly straightens to wave with his free arm.

"Hey! You look--" The snow jostled when he straightened falls, and lands all over head and shoulders. "...Better."

It's not too much to ask them if you're cold. Anyway, their job is to tailor clothes to all your changes!

[There's no need to be too polite. Yuya stuffs his hands in his pockets.] I didn't know we had all this on the moon, but it's really pretty.
spaghettimonster: (A WORTHY PUZZLE)

Maybe not breathing or significantly growing, but alive? Sure. Monsters are really varied that way. Even Papyrus doesn't need to breathe, though he does plenty of moving and growing and living. One of the livelier monsters around. Maybe he puts all that energy from breathing into other things.

"Hmm." How would he describe the Snowman? It wasn't like they met up and talked very much, since being made of snow made moving around a dangerous impossibility. But, knowing of their difficulties, Papyrus had made sure to stop by for chats from time to time. "Friendly...? With a limited view of life."
otoko: (That wasn't very steadfast of u 8|)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-11-24 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And there are traders here, whose task it is to fit those for outfits as well! [He just. Y'know. Is still buying a cat for. Someone. Ahem.]

Yuuya. Those at the carnival-including the tailors-are meant to be on vacation, at this time.

To force them to stop would be UNFORGIVABLE..! [LET THE POOR WARDROBE DEPARTMENT RELAX.

....But anyways.
] ....It is indeed, beautiful, however..... ...It is far warmer here than upon the mountain where my family trains, in fact. ....It's pleasant...

[Yuya leans away slightly as Gongenzaka declares his stance, looking unimpressed.] Okay, but if you get a cold...

[It's not like he wants to make them work, but staying warm is kind of a necessity. The traders are selling things, not just giving coats away.

But, well, Gon is physically hardy and sometimes too polite. Yuya just shakes his head with a wry smile.]
You did that every year, didn't you? At least every year since we met.
