⇨ 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.

[ SIGH??? ] I don't usually look like this. I look more like you, but with two legs. That's why I--

Jeez, I wish I had a picture or something. Something that looks like me.

Flowey starts to feel something akin to dread... so far, he's only met one person like that, but who knows? There could be several. Like hell he was the only person here with emotional baggage and lack thereof.

"Does he sound kind of..."

He's eight and he doesn't know how to phrase this besides 'creepy', literally. He's already forgotten Foster's name out of an effort to try, so he can't outright ask.

"... does he like being hurt?"
betheman: (well that's NEW)

[personal profile] betheman 2017-11-24 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
S-Seriously...? [Even he's having some trouble believing this. But...Hmm.] Perhaps... Mmnh-N! ...Perhaps this darkness is...creating confusion, [He decides, blinking. Sans certainly didn't say anything about any resemblance, after all. (And Alphys probably didn't clue in to that being a reason for...Anything, really.)] Surely, if I, the man Gongenzaka, bore such a resemblance, others from your home would have commented...

Hooboy. Her unfortunate nod is...probably the only answer he needs.

"...Foster doesn't think he's supposed to live, but he also doesn't think he's allowed to get what he wants so... It makes weird things?" It's tricky to put to words. ".........He hates himself the most, but he also gets happy when someone else hates him..? ...I know how to keep him from being too weird, but... ....He's also really really sick right now, because of where we were before, so I wanted to make sure he doesn't die."

And that's why she's staying here. In this cabin.

With him.

"........He won't be the only one in there I think? There's an 'elf' here too." Taaaaaakooooooo-

Being cold sucks, so Lambert is as bundled up as he can make himself. The one nice thing about being half rock is when you can't feel the cold in your legs, you don't have to bother to dress them, though he does have a pair of boots on to avoid taking unpleasant spills in the snow. So, his legs comically stick out of the layers he's wrapped himself in and he's looking over the wares with a critical eye.

He's not really sure about this whole gift giving tradition, but since for once he has the ability to actually buy gifts, he's giving it some consideration. When he spots Papyrus muttering to himself, he ambles over, coming up beside the skeleton.

"See anything good?"

"No, I get it. He doesn't think he deserves to live, so he doesn't think he deserves anything he wants. If someone hates him, that means they're validating his feelings on himself.

... riiiight?"

He just wants to sound smart. Sigh.

"Yeah, I know the elf that took him away last time. They're both our roommates? Thank god."

Has anyone mentioned the name 'Asgore'?

[ His dad, of course... but it's so weird already to accidentally call someone dad, but it's not like Flowey will deny Asgore is his father-- He is Asriel, after all. Asgore's son. No matter how many time's he's committed patricide. ]

Oh no you met. "Mnhhh....yeah..." She won't say the obvious 'sorry you met him' thing. "...He still won't ask the Ringmaster to fix why his brain does this but...I guess that's right." Anyway. Well.

"....I guess that means you know who's inside now, though, so...." She glances toward the door.

Shall she open it?
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

[personal profile] otoko 2017-11-24 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly not in the context of myself, [He answers plainly.] ...Shall we perhaps find somewhere proper to speak? [He decides, looking to Flowey's..........'baby'.]

It would perhaps be better for your companion, at the very least.

It's now or never! He doesn't mind which way she chooses it.

... though it is awfully cold.
wilt: (pathetic house)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-11-24 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Yeah. Ultranova Starbreaker doesn't seem to care about the cold, but, uh-- Yeah. Probably for the best.

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-24 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed it is. Reira knocks, and then opens the door anyway, taking two steps in before closing it behind her.

"...........I'm staying here now!" she announces quite clearly. YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT FOSTER.

Th-They are that strong against elements, in this weather..!? [Well. Regardless, they can duck into the nearest little shop. Hot chocolate shop. Yay.] W-well, this should do fine, [He decides, limping his way in with his half stone body.]

[ Flowey very easily places his order.

First, a hot cocoa. Simple enough. Then he asks if there's a behind-the-counter price for one of those real-but-decorative pumpkins they have everywhere. He gets a few eyebrows raised, but... once he explains it's for the thing in his arms, they oblige, and give him a medium sized pumpkin. Nova is already climbing over him to get at it.

He looks around and... selects a table with enough back space that Gon can sit down properly. The instant he puts down the pumpkin, Ultranova sinks her teeth into it to get the delicious, pumpkin-y juices. ]


So yeah-- you were warned about me. I'm security too.
betheman: (u fkin kiddin me m8)

[Once they're within the warmly lit 'cafe' of sorts, Flowey will likely see why none have mentioned 'Asgore'-or any Dreemur, really-in the context of Gongenzaka's own appearance. The fact that he has only had the horns for as long as he's been infected no doubt helps, but as they trot inside, more canid features can be clearly seen. A permanent 'mask' pattern around the eyes (or at least, one eye, since the other is covered with bandage), very large fox-like ears...adding in the massive bush of a mane that runs from the head and down in scarlet, and it's certainly not a mistake that could have been made in broad daylight.

The shadows of the night, on the other hand...

...Well, he's still large enough and furry enough to be a relative, in any case. Gongenzaka gets his own mug, and takes a seat on the floor, giving a polite nod in thanks.
] I, the man Gongenzaka, was warned that you were working toward a personal recovery, but could suffer a few slips, [he replies calmly, blowing a bit at his drink.] ...and from there, notified that while you could be trusted not to cause harm to others here, it would still be wise to watch my steps.

[He raises an eyebrow.] ....Hmn! No doubt then, you are aware of who our Warden is...
wilt: (chill)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-11-24 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know him. He ain't a big fan.

But after all that I did, he shouldn't be. The Ringmaster gave me a contract to get my soul back-- the thing that gives me compassion, right? But kind of as... penance... for what I did, I have to learn those feelings one by one, through experiences either with myself or other people. Sort of like being born again.

... my name is Asriel Dreemurr. I look like a flower now, but I'm a monster in reality. [ Good thing he doesn't think to clarify. By monster, he means goat child. ] I lost my soul when I died, but uh-- for privacy's sake, something made me came back without a soul. And without a soul, I began to degrade into something unrecognizable.

That's why I like the Ringmaster lady. She doesn't pull any punches and she didn't give me a scot-free card. I deserve to learn it all over again.

Changes (Before the trip)

Yuzu still felt like crap. She was recovering from what she witnessed with the Prince, but she still felt angry and helpless. However, she felt even stranger this morning. Oh, what with her jaw feeling a little more heavier and her ears feeling weird. Staggering to the bathroom, she finally saw what was going on - a set of fangs in her mouth and her ears having grown out.

The next sound heard is one of pure panic. "WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!"

Arrival

"...Coat. I need a coat! Something warm!"

The moon. She was one the moon. Or a moon. With snow on it. It was cold and freaky and how could this day get even more stranger?! It was days like this that she wished she could have gotten better clothes. There's only so much a short skirt, sleeveless blouse and stockings can keep warm.

"I would do anything for a large coat!"

Shopping

Christmas was coming up, wasn't it? Gosh, it didn't feel like that back at Maiami and yet here they were, hunting down gifts. Of course, she couldn't help but be a bit selfish to herself. After the whole deal with the Prince, she wanted to protect herself no matter what, thus she found herself modeling over what was referred to as "Tron Armor". It seemed pretty neat - armor that used hard light holograms, kinda like with Action Duels.

And, it was quite warm, too, so there was a plus to that. But, the price tag...

"Sheesh, that's a little on the expensive side, isn't it?" Yuzu mused.

Hmmmnn.

[He gives it some thought, at the least. And-] ...............You are aware that, no doubt, if you were to regain the capacity to feel for however many acts you claim you committed, in a single instant, it would presumably crush you, correct? [At least, he's pretty sure that would happen.] From where, I, the man Gongenzaka stand....

...it would appear the Ringmaster granted you mercy, if anything.

[............He pauses.] Hmn. I, the man Gongenzaka, should perhaps caution you, as a note.... ...a 'soul' here...it is quite different from a 'soul' where you, and Sans, and others are from. A Soul is not what grants you your emotion, in this case.

Rather, it is what gives you life, and existence. ....it is in other words, something you carry now. [Just. So that you know people might correct you on the soul bit.] Though....

[Which brings him, tangently, back to who that soul USED to be.] ................Did I truly remind you of your father..!? I... I, the man Gongenzaka, am only 14..!!

... fourteen, huh...? You, uh. You wear your age-- oh hell, I can't lie. You look like a wisened old mentor in a children's book.

[ He really, really does-- down to the way he speaks, even. ]

A- anyway, I did feel those emotions. Briefly, but I did. I was myself for a little bit. The guilt was bad, but... setting everything right felt good.

[ He's a little distracted - not by any particular activity, but by the sight of the moon. When you spend your life in a world with a shattered moon looming overhead in the sky, it's strange to see that unbroken circle of light. Maybe he's a little lost in thought?

Or maybe Junko's approaching from what she determined to be his blind spot - but she had said no more analyzing him, right?

Well, whatever the case, Mercury's not ready to get dunked on, which is exactly what happens-- ]


Ow!

NAUUH-! [NO!!!! HIS GREATEST FEAR-] TH-

I, THE MAN GONGENZAKA, DO NOT LOOK THAT OLD, SURELY!!! [he protests, groaning into his one hand.]

Hmmnn... ...Well, at the very least, this seems the greater option for 'long term'. Brevity allows one to cope in different manners....

....It is when things begin to 'sink in', that the true trauma rises.
