⇨ THE LUNAR SOLSTICE

[ringleaders]

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.

[The Fortress of Soteria!]

[Anghel strides forwards, grateful to Ramath, the Child of Purgatorio, for leading Anghel to a place where he can gather his bearings. The journey had been a long and treacherous one. Without any guide, Anghel surely would have perished.]

[He pauses in the doorway, noting that the Fortress does not contain anyone to guard it. Perhaps the door has a ward laid upon it? One that can recognize friend from foe?]

[Right now his body is too weak to wonder about such things. Anghel hurries the rest of the way inside, away from the terrible forces Ramath has helped him flee. Once inside, Anghel collapses onto the ground.]

I... m-must... rest...

[His shivers start to die down now that he's inside. And after a few minutes of lying on the floor, begins to glance curiously at the door as though he can figure out how it opened on it's own.]

[ A long vine stretches out to pull back the covers of Reira's bed, oh so sweetly and hospitable. ]

We stole a bunch of breaded goods from the food hall in a raid last night-- [ Aka there's a basket of muffins on the table left over from breakfast. ] If you need to eat, eat. If you need to drink, drink. After all...

You're a part of us now!

[crimsonfallenangel]

[Anghel jumps up rather quickly considering he'd been on the ground mere moments earlier and grabs a muffin. He takes a big bite.]

I can feel the effect of it's healing power.

[Which is his way of saying that it tastes good. Anghel takes another bite. He'll get to that bed once he finishes eating.]

[wilt]

Relax, blessed visitor.

[ Putting on his best Toriel impression. ] Save your words for when you recover fully from the tundra outside.

[The muffin is gone now. Anghel gladly pulls himself into the bed, even if it isn't his own, and pulls the covers up around himself.]

The wards will keep the darkness at bay?
