⇨ 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.

As far as Anghel is concerned, providing the scarf is preparing him for the troubles to come. He takes Cole's words to mean that there is no particular danger to be wary of, though.

"Then you seek to aid all those who would prepare for the coming darkness." Anghel nods to himself. "This armor will indeed protect me should I leave this sanctuary."

Or this scarf will help keep him warm if he chooses to wander about in the snow again.

Cole nods at that. "Other things can protect you as well...though I don't know how well they'll fit."

There were shawls, wraps, things like that but Anghel's a bird. It might be a bit hard to finagle those sorts of clothing over or under his wings—and he certainly can't wear boots or socks or anything along those lines.

Anghel would definitely prefer not to wear things that could keep him from flying. "What you have given me is aid enough," he decides. "I shall endeavor to use it wisely."
hurtcomfort: (listening to things)

"Then that is good," Cole responds, with a little bit of a nod. Because it is! If Anghel is comfy and doesn't need any more things, then Cole won't get him any more things. It's as simple as that.

"You're just as new," he points out the obvious. "What do you need explained? I can find answers."

There are a few things Anghel would need explained, though there is one matter that is pressing on his mind more than most. He pulls out the money the Ringmaster had given him.

"I must discover how to accomplish the task the Purveyor of Dreams has set before me: to bestow upon others what I have been given." He wants advice on how to buy presents for people that he doesn't know yet. Anghel is used to buying presents for his parents, but no one else.

Oh! That's money! Cole doesn't really know who the Purveyor of Dreams is, but he knows what the money is used for and he knows how to bestow upon others.

"There's a marketplace. You think of something someone would want, buy it for them, and give it to them. It makes them happy which makes you happy." Or, you're Cole, and just buy a little something for everyone.

"I can show you where it is."

Providing for others as the Purveyor of Dreams had requested, using what she has given Anghel.

"Lead the way to the City of Many Wonders," Anghel agrees to Cole's offer, tucking the money away again. "My crimson breast shall not forget this."
hurtcomfort: (get yourself some expressions my man)

With a little nod, Cole starts walking towards a busier looking area of the moon. It won't be too long before they reach the market, but long enough that it might be a bit awkward if Cole remained silent all the while. People like it when you talk. That's something he figured out.

"Do all birds like you run red?"

Not all birds have that red spot. But do all birds like Anghel have that red spot?

While all birds of Anghel's species do have the mark (which is slightly duller on females), Anghel shakes his head. "It is a mark of my inescapable sin and a reminder of the Judgement Day."
