⇨ 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.

That 'I wasn't' is receiving a fierce frown from Reira-she may not be a very violent child, but she's certainly not about to let that excuse slip by, and she leaves her response to the attempt at just 'frowning'. And then-

"Ah...." Foster is leaving. Yet she feels if she says something...if she says anything, it won't help matters at all. So much of what he does is grounded in that feeling. And, to bring it forward...

....There isn't a lot she can say at all, except- ".....Come back soon, okay?" she manages, chewing her lip. At least do that.

"..."

Is there a feeling for knowing you messed up? Because Flowey feels it pretty hard, but doesn't know what to call it. He thought ignoring Foster would be the best way to handle the situation because he shouldn't reveal whether all monsters teleport or not-- for their own safety. For whoever shows up.

As soon as Foster is gone--

"... I'm sorry, Reira. I just didn't think it was something he should know."

Reira's frown is still very set, and even cold.

"..........I know not all of you teleport." And frankly it's rather rude of you to use that as your excuse here. Very rude. She's pretty sure you were both just clashing and butting heads like absolute idiots-it wouldn't take empathy to know, either.

The fact remained though, that if Papyrus could teleport, things would definitely be different.

"And if he knows all monsters can teleport, or that some can't-- look, you explicitly trust this guy for some reason, and I trust you, but all he does is make me upset. A guy shouldn't be picking bloody scabs in front of you like he's just-- just trying to get a reaction out of you! It's wrong!"

He heaves a sigh.

"I don't understand. No one should do that in front of anybody."

"He wasn't trying to get a reaction," she counters. "...That's what he does to make magic happen-he uses blood. After that he was trying to ignore things."

O o p s.

"...Foster can't attack anyone here-he knows that, so he won't. So no one has to be scared about what happens if he knows about things." And.... ....well, she supposes it makes sense that there's no way to understand it. She doesn't even completely understand things. He's weird. He's just....weird.

"....We should probably make sure Taako knows we're here when he gets back too," she decides, changing the subject.
wilt: (enemy approaching)

"We can leave a letter?"

He goes with her changing the subject, because he feels a weird sense of wanting to apologize while still sticking up for what he thinks was right. Alphys couldn't teleport, and if Foster was being Foster around her... he didn't want to answer the question in either way for her sake.

A letter? She's letting it go at least, recognizing that....Flowey just doesn't have the emotions for this situation. They're just not there.

Still. "...Do you want to go outside, then? I was just going to read my big book from Strange..."
wilt: (uwaa!! so HEATS!!♫)

"What's it about? Wouldn't you rather stay where it's warm?"

God, it'd been forever since he read something... going through the librarby more than a few times in its entirety had grown tiring, to say the least.

"It's pretty warm here!" Especially if they sit at the fire, right? Cozy cozy. Anyway.

"It's a book about how magic works where Jonathan came from. ...It's....really long." It's Very Hard To Read, but mostly she's determined.
wilt: (reunited)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-12-07 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"... Can I read over your shoulder?"

It has been so long since he read anything that he even wonders if he has the attention span for it anymore. Especially a book about new magic.
soft_focus: (.w.)

time to wind down w readin I guess-

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-07 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Read over her shoulder? Well, hey, if they find a good seat...

"...Yeah, we can do that."
wilt: (chill)

yessss good stuff

[personal profile] wilt 2017-12-07 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
The fireplace in the cabin is warm enough already, they just have to-- Flowey snatches a decorative pillow off the side of the bed, and puts it near the fireplace so she can sit.

If she does, he'll look over her shoulder and steadfastly read until she is done.
