⇨ 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.

s HOPPING...

"For armor? It appears to be, if anything, the average for well made product here, I've noticed," Gongenzaka starts aloud. Unfortunately, this is probably the worst way to approach Yuzu. From behind, without warning....Ah.

Well regardless-the one-armed giant looks down with his uncovered eye, his hair bundled up by Yuuya in a handy braid to be tucked away under the headband for now. "Are you considering it for someone?" he asks, quietly wondering if it would be worth it for Yuuya. The trouble with armor was it was only useful while wearing it though....and when would Yuuya be PREPARED...?

"WOAH! WATCH-- O-Oh, Gongenzaka..." Yuzu said, calming down and THANKFULLY not trying to hit him with anything.

"Honestly, I'm considering it for myself. After what happened back with the Prince, I want to be prepared somewhat..." she admitted.

The beast startles as well, fur and leaves raising and rustling. "Au-auh!! F-forgive me for the shock, Yuzu..!" IT WAS AN ACCIDENT- though at least she's over it quick. At her words, he blinks.

"Hmm!? Is that so?" He questions, despite not entirely being surprised. Yuzu was not one to sit out of things after all, not when it affected her inner circle. She was also, however, abundantly more pragmatic about how to do it.

....albeit hot headed and a bit reckless with the charge on top of things. Regardless, Gongenzaka hums to himself, leaning over to peer at it. "Hmm....armor such as this, it would be lightweight, and useful even as costume, as well as armor.... ....Given the cost, and what I, the man Gongenzaka have looked into as well....it could defend against even nonphysical attack, for that matter..."

And, combined with the ring he has wrapped for her already...

"....if you feel you have enough, I, the man Gongenzaka would say...it would be a good investment, in fact."

Yuzu blinks and smiles at that, surprised at Gongenzaka’s endorsement. “You really think so? Oh, I’m so glad! I was worried I was going to go a bit overboard with such a thing!”

"Hmn! If anything, you are ahead of things," he snorts, huffing. "Too many thus far have underestimated the potential dangers surrounding the Carnival.... ...it may not intentionally draw harm, but even peaceful realms may have their own wildlife threats...." Hoof.

That said. "Hmnn. If you are worried however...perhaps you should keep a budget record of those you intend to purchase gifts for, given the Ringmaster's request?"

"That... yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Don't want to go overboard." Yuzu said, nodding. Try to go easy and cheap should be the best way to handle things, right?

"Exactly! ...When you do buy for yourself however, make certain that what you purchase fits, and feels, proper," he adds, serious. After all-without that much, no armor or weapon would be doing what Yuzu requires of it.
