⇨ 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.

....Indeed, they have fallen a bit short on...that. Hmm. "....Do the colours he has count?"
spaghettimonster: (SPIKES -THEN- FIRE OR...)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-26 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"...Probably...?" That seems like sound reasoning. "If he didn't like yellow, he could dye himself... but he hasn't."

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-26 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
So....Yellow and green then..?
spaghettimonster: (THE DECISIVE ARTISTE)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-26 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"And green! An inspired choice. Inspired, again, by his coloring... a stem with stripes is a lot kidlier than a plain green stem."
soft_focus: (.w.)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-26 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! ...Um! They should be different yellow and green though-otherwise, it'll look weird and blend in right?" she adds, looking around for some fabric. "....Like....lighter colours, maybe. Ones that are happy."
spaghettimonster: (OH-HO!)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-26 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lighter colors... for a lighter mood...? Of course! It just might be enough to help him feel happy again." There's a lot of brown materials, so the colors stand out a bit. This one over here is more of a pine green with silver trim, not what they're aiming for...

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-26 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah!" That's another way to put it. "Mnhh.... ....Maybe we could just find the two colours on their own though, and ask about that?"
spaghettimonster: (THE ARTISTE CONTEMPLATES)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-27 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Just finding the individual colors, and matching them together... a cooking of clothing. With a little less fire. Papyrus smiles at the bittersweet memories that brings on, puts the latest ill-matched fabric down, and shoots Reira a thumbs up.

"Okay! Let's meet up, over here, when we've got some likely candidates."
soft_focus: (.w.)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-27 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Mn! Right!"

She shall return with no less than about ten different bundles of fabric, because she's not going at this with half a heart.
spaghettimonster: (MASTER CHEF)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Papyrus brings four fabrics - three which are actually yellow or green, one an iridescent silver - and a big floppy hat.

"Witness, the fruits of... someone else's labor, and my harvest! How did your browsing go?"

Reira's voice is...Very muffled. Extremely muffled. But if Papyrus listens very closely as she shakes the pile in front of her face, he will probably hear 'THESE ONES ARE THE SOFTEST'. There's a number of differing shades of green or yellow, which are nice, at least.
spaghettimonster: arrt-jim-lad (HMMM.)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-28 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to see those colors, between their efforts they just might figure out some kind of shirt for Flowey. But that muffled statement...

"Are they... too soft? Reira, have they captured you, rather than the other way around?"
soft_focus: (niisama wa doko?)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-28 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
There is a very awkward, and sheepish pause, as if someone has just realized that perhaps her own bias is not only Involved, but also actually there.

"....no?"

Yes.
spaghettimonster: (DRAMATIC SWOON)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-11-28 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmmmmmm."

Papyrus hums out a thoughtful sound, amused and smiling.

"That sounds... like the protest of someone still tangled in the soft, fabricy-embrace of this trap. Oh no! How can I free you, without getting caught in turn?"
soft_focus: (Extra43)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-29 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hmn. Well.

"............Mnh...Lift some?" She sounds hesitant. Really, can she just stay here, in the fabric?
spaghettimonster: (SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2017-12-03 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Leave a thread, with her buried in the fabric? Their cr would unravel. There's nothing for it, he has to intervene.

"Hmmm. Splitting it between us, so it's only half as powerful... That sounds reasonable. Hold on!"

He reaches over, touches a hand to the really soft fabric, and corrects himself. "Rather, don't hold on! Release some of it to me. It won't go far!" And he lifts.
soft_focus: (-sigh-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-03 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
She'll hold on-rather, not hold on, for sure! The fabric pile is being relieved...and Reira sighs, nodding. "Okay... ...And now we can give it to someone to make into a sweater right?"
