⇨ 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.

I didn't know if it was a fashion from the future thing or not, [ Strange grumbles, before he takes another drink directly from the bottle. ]

Anyway, never have I ever work hair decorations.

[ he says, despite the fact that the gray in his hair is shimmering like someone dumped a box of tinsel over his head. ]

That's it? We're just gonna look at what each other's wearing as an excuse to drink? At first I was down but now I'm down for a challenge.

Never have I ever... [ Reading his entire get-up... seems pretty old fashioned politician or detective. ] ... solved a mystery?
kingsroads: (well drat now)

I want to be properly soused before I make any possible negative judgements based on your personality.

[ Which granted, Strange knows nothing about. But at least for Strange, 'never have I ever' is less a bonding exercise and more an excuse to funnel alcohol directly into his mouth. If the easy route gets him drunk, then hello there easy route, meet your new friend.

Though solved a mystery? Strange frowns for a moment, then takes a drink. Helping to solve where all the magic in England went counts as a mystery, right? In his mind, it does. And fine, if Junko wants to go a bit harder, then so shall Strange.

Never have I ever had a boyfriend.

[ She's a cute teenager, she's probably had boys lining up to date her. ]

[ She drinks! She's had one, and then she killed him, so... you know??? You get that feeling, right Strange?

She really has to think now... to be honest, she's not opposed to throwing pot shots in the dark regarding what someone looks like, acts like, sounds like, ... with that analysis gone because one world can't be read like another, pot shots are all she has with guys like him. ]


Never have I ever been married.
kingsroads: (maybe we can talk about other things?)

[ Strange can't help but smile at that. He takes a drink himself. He's been married and he doesn't ever shut up about being married: that dopey little smile on Strange's face tells Junko that he's madly in love with his wife. ]

Her name is Arabella. [ said in a tone of voice that's pure "I will talk about my wife until the cows come home." Though, this means it is his turn for a guess. Strange looks over at Junko, frowning slightly, then takes a stab in the dark. ]

Never have I ever had siblings.

[ only child over here. ]

[ Awww, this dude believes love is real. That's adorable. She smiles a very convincing little smile before taking her shot.

She's starting to get tipsy, now... ]


Guh-- her name is was Mukuro.

Never have I ever... fallen in love.
kingsroads: (dude are you sure?)

[ Strange is also starting to get tipsy: the fact that he takes that bottle and just chugs a good portion of it doesn't help. ]

I'm surprised, though. I thought you had a boyfriend?
