⇨ 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.

[He nods, still looking a bit uncertain.]

Yeah, from Atlantis. I might have other things, too... But mostly rocks and stuff. I could check my trailer, I keep them in the cold box.

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Rocks and shells.... ...hmmm...it sounds like you have the sorts of things for jewelry at least...
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He perks up a little at that.]

Yeah? Do you think she'd like jewelry?
insidescoop: (MMMMMM...)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
If it's flashy and made with love, definitely~! Everyone likes to decorate~!

The question just becomes....what kind of jewelry to make, and how, really. There's cord braiding, which we could probably do easy enough with my scraps...
wild_magic: (6)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, that works! I could try it.

[He thinks for a minute before continuing.]

So, just that, and no other present? Do you think that's enough for... You know. What I did?

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. Yes, that is a good question.] Well....

[Hmmmm.] If you don't think so... ....maybe, the best way to show you mean it, is to do something that comes from the heart..!

You like magic right? ...FIRE magic, right?

So does she~! You could do something like what I'm doing, and use your fire magic to do something cool then!
wild_magic: (25)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... My magic isn't really something you can use like that. [It's more destructive, really.]

That's why I thought she might like the fabric, 'cause, it reminds me of fire. But I could try and think of something I could do with my magic instead. I just don't know if she'd like that. [Although at least she would know he wasn't going to attack her, since she put some kind of weird magic seal or something on him so he couldn't.]
insidescoop: (Bwueh?)

ruh-roh

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's pretty much how fire is supposed to work, to be fair...it's really destructive! Magic fire especially, I'm pretty sure...

[But, with a grin-] But-!! But that doesn't mean it has to be...watch~!

[She puts her hands together-and then pulls apart, drawing a string of both her flames.] As long as nothing touches these....it's safe to look at, right?

...And all I have to do is decide to extinguish it to get rid of it. But more than that.... [She darts her hands to the side, sending the 'line' through the snow; the result is a melted trench, but....pretty clearly a line.] We're surrounded by the perfect art tool for it~!

And practice tool too. No one got hurt by melting snow~ [Carly, many people have been hurt by melting snow.]

Eh....

...Though.... ....you can just...stop the fire if you bring it out...right?
wild_magic: (6)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head, thinking of the best way to phrase it.]

I can't just make fire like that. My fire is more like... I can't just make it come out around me, it's just an attack, it makes the fire and it can burn things and stuff but at that point it isn't mine any more, it's real fire. So I can't just make it stop.
insidescoop: (HEH?)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmhh.... ...well.

...That does still work pretty easy here.... [She starts, slowly looking around the snow.]

....If it's normal fire.... ...Water would douse it, right?
wild_magic: (6)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess so. [He smiles a little at that.]

I can't really do anything cool with it, though. But mostly it's bad, because I can't control it if something else happens. Which happens a lot when I use it... So it's not good unless I need it. [Especially the stuff like fire. Not that he wouldn't use it, but still.]

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Butttttt, you have me here..! [Carly quickly adds.]

I have two flames. One eats energy-the other just keeps going, even if it's wet! We could combine that into something using the snow..!

...Ah- [She coughs, having gotten carried away.] ...If you think that could be a nice 'apology' for her, I guess...

....I can't think about how to control that sort of fire normally, but... ...well, maybe after this... ...We could practice together, using the moon as a safe spot?

[...........] ...I bet Strange could teleport us after all~ We just need a mirror, right~?
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. That could be fun.

I'm not sure what we could do with it, I'm not good at stuff like that. But if you think we could come up with something... It could be kind of cool. [If he had an idea, he'd actually be pretty good at showing off something performance-y, but there's probably some pretty good reasons he wasn't put in that department.]
insidescoop: (MMMMMM...)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, Carly has Never been in that department, so this can only go great after all.] RIGHT~!!

We've got a lot to work with, and a lot of work to do then...we could do something live....or.... [She crosses her arms, humming.] ...With all the snow, you could melt things into shapes of snow, probably...so you could easily just make something that stays there a while....
wild_magic: (6)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Does it count as a present if it's just made out of snow though? It'll just melt...
insidescoop: credit - haptisms @ lj (>3>)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Of course!

Seeing a show can be a present, right? So seeing something, even for a moment....that's the same thing!

[..............] And, well...I still have my camera equipment from Portland, so....

[Could just. Take a Pic...]
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I bought a "camera" too! I didn't think about that. I don't know a lot about presents but, if you say it counts then, we can at least try it.

Maybe an ice statue of her. Do you think she'd like that? Or... I don't really know. I asked people what they thought she'd like, but, no one really gave me a good answer.
insidescoop: credit - haptisms @ lj (>3>)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
She does like herself, it's true... [Carly no.] Hmmm, but maybe something less overt...

Something that shows what she likes...other than her, but in a really cool way..!

[Carly did you do that on purpose-]
wild_magic: (18)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
The only other thing I know is fire. And I guess, eating hearts. And gossip? [Yeah he got super useful advice as you can see.]
insidescoop: (Bwueh?)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
....Do you think it's possible....to make snow shaped like fire..?

Or even like, have fire....under the snow?
wild_magic: (1)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Under the snow...? [He thinks about it for a minute.]

Maybe, if it's like ice? Then you could put the fire kind of far from it, and then you could see the fire through the ice part, so it would look like the ice is fire. [It makes sense in his head at least.]
insidescoop: credit - haptisms @ lj (>3>)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmh.... ...We could possibly melt through some existing ice, if we were careful.... ...Or just melt a lot of snow, and let it freeze....
wild_magic: (12)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think we could do it with enough fire!
insidescoop: credit - alpha-graphics @ lj (Yeeeeeheheh)

lmfff I guess we fade off here then Oh Boy

[personal profile] insidescoop 2017-12-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent~! Let's get started~!

[This can only go Great and Terrible and nothing in between-]
wild_magic: (12)

[personal profile] wild_magic 2017-12-14 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know what, it isn't what he was expecting at all, but Susan is definitely okay with this. Maybe if it's both of them they'll somehow manage to make it not Terrible.]
