⇨ 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.

... Uh, does he want you telling people he did bad things and his feelings are gone?

[Whatever that means. He's missed all the monster drama, and that all sounds... well, honestly just as personal as what's going on with Zarc. If he's open about it, that's fine, but given Reira saw no issue talking all about it until Yuya explicitly sat her down...]

He's already telling people that part.

[Well maybe not quite like that, but.] ....It's the part about before he was a flower that's secret.

...But if he doesn't talk about the feelings part, he doesn't have a lot of help getting feelings back, right? So....I thought it made sense.

[It is, to an extent, his logic behind the matter...]

I guess? I don't know what happens when you lose feelings. [Or turn into a flower. But he won't ask too many details. If he's going to insist on a lot of privacy about Zarc, he's better to hedge with caution with other people's problems, too.]

I guess I'll know if I see him. How many talking flowers does the carnival have?

Mnh.... ...For me, I stopped feeling because it was dangerous... ...Not feeling things made it easy to listen to orders, and do them...

....I don't know what would happen if you didn't have feelings for a long time, but.... ....someone who doesn't feel anything, after a while, probably wouldn't care if they hurt someone.

....They wouldn't be able to feel the things normal people do, when they do those kinds of things, after all.... [It's worrying. She worries, really, about what could happen if the right feelings are restored, actually.]

Umn.... ....can I have my necklace back now, though? [She asks hesitantly, chewing her lip.]

.........I've never had someone make me something like that. Something 'for' me', I mean.

Oh! Yeah. [He gives her a sheepish look as he holds it out for her.

He's not sure if it's worse to hurt people out of hate or just because you can't feel bad, but he hopes the flower is remorseful. He still has his doubts about that last piece of their soul... a little bit of him doubts Yuri, and that all of them could have gone down that same path again. What if he didn't have his parents, or Yuzu, or Gon?]


Sorry, if you want to go back inside you can. That's all I wanted to say.

[The locket is clicked shut. The chain pulled back over her neck, its symbol shining in the light.

Reira is quiet for a few moments-staring at Yuuya, half wondering what to say. Eventually...

....She takes a step forward instead, going in for a hug.
]

....'m sorry about the things that made you upset, [she says after a moment.]

....I just....

....don't want you to keep thinking you're bad.

[Oh--Yuya catches her in his arms and gives her a squeeze in the embrace. He doesn't respond at first, until he lets out a breath and smiles faintly.]

Don't worry. I have a lot of friends now, so I can't be unfair to myself.

[They certainly won't let him make a martyr out of this, and he knows who will believe in him no matter what. The truth can't take away who he is now.]

Fade out here?

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-11-25 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ooooooof.] You're bad at that....but ok....

[Good thing that statement is muffled!!!]

Sounds good o7

[Yuya pouts and briefly squishes her. This is supposed to be a happy moment.]
