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. |

[So people are actually going through with this weird gift exchange thing the Ringmaster mentioned...? Rita wasn't sure about it, but if other people are doing it, maybe she should go take a look at the market... not because she feels a need to return the favor or anything, but... maybe she'll pick up a few things for people, if it's convenient.]
[For now, she starts moving again, pushing off with a wobble but managing to stay upright.]
So, uh... You've been at this for a while? [Seems like a fair guess, considering his apparent confidence in skating.] What else have you been up to this past week?
no subject
Mmhm! I've been outside a lot, and buying gifts for my friends. And Mr. Strange is teaching me magic, so I'm practicing a lot!
[And reading a lot. Ugh, the reading.]
no subject
[She gives him a wide stare, then jerks forward as she tries to avoid falling behind.]
From Strange?
no subject
Things get really dangerous, and I want to do more to protect my friends. [He looks at Rita a moment longer when he says it.] I don't want to only be able to watch everyone get hurt. So he's teaching me magic. Right now I'm trying to learn a barrier he used in Portland.
no subject
[She got a good look at it back when Rita and Strange fought in Portland. The memory's an oddly fond one, all things considered.]
I can't imagine him being much of a teacher, though...
no subject
no subject
If you need someone to clarify any concepts or to practice with, I could help you out with that.
no subject
He smiles brightly when Rita's offers help as well.] Because you're an expert on it too, right? You know a lot about fire magic... what other magic do you know?
no subject
[Fire's just... kind of a personal favorite. And it's where she's started her study of fae magic.]
And blastia can be used for much more than fighting, too.
no subject
[He stops suddenly as he runs the possibilities through his head. He wants to protect his friends with magic, after all--he shouldn't close any doors before he's seen them.] Do they work like your fire magic, or are they different?
no subject
The general spell-casting process is similar, but certain components of the formulae are complex enough that casual magic-users tend to only stick to one element. Shadow magic has a reputation for being especially complex, but I didn't have much trouble with it.
Wanna see?

[Rita smoothly changes course, turning in a circle on the ice before coming to a stop. A magic circle appears at her feet as she begins chanting...]
Come forth, o avaricious netherworld! Negative Gate!
[Dark energy begins to form over a section of the ice, manifesting as a dark, purplish flame that converges into a large sphere that crackles with power, seemingly sucking in the light around it. The dark fire gives off no heat, and so the ice beneath it remains smooth and unaffected.]
no subject
But he's still curious.] What's it do?
no subject
Shadow magic by nature is less tangible than most other elements, so it's effective against things that are similarly less tangible. [She taps the blade of one of her skates against the ice.] It also has little to no effect on things that are purely physical, like this ice under our feet.
no subject
He thinks she's just proud of her magic in general, but...] Do you have a lot of enemies?
[He's asking in jest, mostly.]
no subject
But... there's a few, still.
