⇨ 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'm innocent~.

[Accept your bad life choices like a man, Tyki.]

Last time I tried sleepin' with a father's daughter, he tried choppin' my head off instead of just kickin' me, ha!
prazerbutterfly: (whatever could be the matter?)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-14 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
If you're innocent then I'm a saint, Joker.

[He'll do it in the morning when he's more sober. Right now he's just suddenly barking laughter.]

I've had far too much practice to get caught. They say one can loose their head over a woman.
pipers_son: (The stripper told Tom to sort his life)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-14 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure ta pray ta ya then~.

[He'd say more on Tyki and religion, except he's suddenly cackling far louder than that joke warrants, and his wings flap hastily to keep him from tipping over sideways.]

Oh, can't they! But fortunately my head is still firmly on my shoulders~.
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - oh?)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-18 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
At least I'm listening unlike others you might pray to.

[He says in a FAR TOO HONEST way due to the fact being drunk is having that effect on him. The laughing from Joker causes him to start laughing and it is only when another approaching soul starts to wander close will his finger go to his lips.]

Shh, shh, Ginko is coming. We don't wanna startle him.
pipers_son: (The stripper told Tom to sort his life)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-19 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't doubt it~.

[And, unfortunately, Joker is just about as honest. If not for the way they both get caught up in a laughter fit, well- it's for the best. Falling back into giggles, he leans closer to Tyki with a grin.]

Oh. Oh, this won't startle him. Y'know what startles him?
prazerbutterfly: (now now)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-19 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, gossip. He rather enjoys gossip and delicious information. It's why he's leaning into Joker for that well earned discussion and mini dirt. Not that he'd want to actually startle Ginko. A man like him almost looked like he'd bolt at being uncomfortable.]

What, Joker? What startles him~
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-19 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Compliments~.

[Loose lips sink sips. Or, well, exasperate a certain animal keeper. It's fine.]

I was tryin' ta tell him how handsome he was some stops ago, and ya should have seen the look on his face!
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - too happy)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-20 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[His grin is getting wider the more he's told about Ginko and the man has already made a rather good impression on him for being so gentle and understanding. He snerks almost crudely.]

He does sort of have a nice appeal to him, doesn't he? Not pretty like you but nice to look at for sure.

[At this rate Ginko might walk out if he walks in on them talking about him.]
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (And I'd rather cry while putting a)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-21 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ginko will just have to deal with that.]

Oh, yeah, he's not pretty, he's handsome. [Very important distinction.] But you know what he thought every time I talked about his good looks? That I was makin' fun of him.

[Is he whining? Oh, he's whining. It's unbelievable that such a smart man could be so dumb sometimes.]

I had ta take drastic measures.
prazerbutterfly: (tttthb..)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-22 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
You don't say. I suppose some people just don't understand a good compliment when they hear it.

[Which kind of baffles him because usually when someone is given a compliment they usually like it. Everyone now a days seems so insulted or disturbed from getting one.]

I have no doubt you did.
pipers_son: (bestia-domitor) (And I'd rather cry while putting a)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-22 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, well, we all got our issues.

[Ginko can't understand how attractive he is, Joker is a murderer, you know.]

But seein' him get cute at the right compliments- it's the best. Ya outta see it.
prazerbutterfly: (yeah...)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-23 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
You can say that again.

[And Tyki is responsible for countless deaths in the hundreds and if his family has their way, complete genocide.]

Alright. I'll try it out sometime. [He says in a slurred way. Tyki's on the verge of taking a nap when he shouldn't with his head back, throat exposed, and body sunk down to his chin.]
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-27 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I wanna be there.

[But for now, relying on his wings, Joker leans forward a little more with a wide grin.]

Goin' ta sleep~?
prazerbutterfly: (now now)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-27 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[It makes him laugh under his breath at Joker wanting to be there for Ginko's soft misery.

But one eye will crack open at his question.
] I was thinking about it given I can't exactly drown. [Unless his power deactivates even if it was always passively active.] But your tone implies you'll do horrid things to my body if I do.
pipers_son: (The stripper told Tom to sort his life)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2017-12-27 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm hurt ya would think I'd be anythin' but a guardian angel~.

[Getting described as that makes him break into laughter so hard that he nearly slips into the water himself.]
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - uwah~ so hot)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2017-12-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Not that Joker could touch him if he didn't want him to unless he was attacking. It's just that Joker was always allowed in his mind. If there was every a moment where Joker couldn't touch him that would be a grave warning something was wrong.

Even now he's partially reaching out to ensure Joker doesn't slip into the water.
]

I suppose the greater question is will you be alright if I did accidentally fall asleep.
pipers_son: (sillica) (His status popped up and said)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2018-01-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[The help is appreciated, really. It's why he reaches over to fondly ruffle Tyki's hair, gaze warm.]

I promise not ta judge ya too hard~. I know folks who've done worse ta get away from me, ha!
prazerbutterfly: (Tease)

[personal profile] prazerbutterfly 2018-01-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[His hair is messy and he's in dire need of a cut. He's already feeling the heat and the sweat from the spa waters start to mesh it to his face. Joker just makes it worse and his ears bend down reflexively even if they are as soft and scraggly as his hair. He's relaxed now and that is what matters.]

What a buddy. Heh, it's their loss, Joker. [He sinks just enough where his chin was touching the water and he's silent now other than the low hum of comfirmation.] Ever their loss.
