⇨ 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.

[Flowey,l better stop that, because it really is making her extremely nervous..! Even while he beckons the bird to come closer, she's left anxious, chewing her lip. Frisk's words, at least, help...but only so much, and she finds herself standing there, hesitant.

The bird, fortunately, is smart enough to make her own move. Spreading her wings and wobbling from her perch, she jumps down, wings flapping awkwardly for the landing. Beside each other, Reira is certainly a good deal taller-but not so tall that the bird can't stretch their neck and raise their posture until they're closer to eye level. It is, certainly, a little nerve wracking-the girl almost steps back, in fact, but...

...slowly, she brings her hand forward, letting the curious eagle inspect.
] Umnh...h...

Hello...

[At least curiosity is their Biggest Deal right now. She can tell her hand won't deliberately be hurt, and more importantly that she hasn't, well. Scared the bird.]
wilt: (reunited)

[ Flowey burrows in his planter-backpack, knowing he can't interrupt this sort of thing...

Best of luck, Reira, you're on your own. ]

[Frisk meanwhile continues smiling.]

Just stay Determined.

[She can probably feel it coming off of them in waves, soft yet strong. You can do it buddy, they believe in you.]

[Reira's hand, after some shaking and slow inching, eventually makes it to feathers. It is, fortuitously and even astonishingly, helped along by the eagle hearself, however-who begins ducking her head under said hand, as if to say 'here, here is fine.'

There is then what sounds almost like a chirp. In fact it is a chirp, something associated more with songbirds, no doubt, but happening all the same, in little squeaks from an enormous raptor.

It pays off, however, as Reira smiles.
] Ahh...

[Hope Sparrow doesn't get jealous, now.]

[And still Frisk stays where they are, aware that Flowey has gone off somewhere.]

See? It's fine. They like you.

[It's not the bird that carries people over a small gap, but it's still a good bird in the end.]

Wanna come up with a name?
soft_focus: (this seems like a BAAAAAAAAAD idea)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh... [Yes, they do seem to like her, at least a little. She does have, at least passively, a way with birdy sorts. It'll never help if a bird outright has an existing opinion on her, but...well, for things like bonding with a new pet, it works great.

Honestly half the female birds seem to just get broody about it, and as if on cue, the Eagle's chirps are responded to with her sparrow poking out from the hair and chirping back. Hey!! What's this then!!

(The Eagle, for their part, seems briefly stunned by the presence of something that really Should be dead, but is quickly calmed down by the temptation that is some under the chin scritches.)

Names, though. Technically 'Sparrow' doesn't even have one.
] Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

....I still don't really know how to name things properly...

[Oh hello there. Well everything seems to be going okay so far, which is nice. Frisk is starting to develop a soreness in their neck so they'll straighten up a little more now that things are going smoothly.]

I can give you a hand! I'm...I like coming up with names.

[Naming the voice in their head, for one. Or...nothing. Nothing! It's okay.]

You too Flowey. Um...wherever you went.
soft_focus: (extra 08)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-15 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mnh-! You do? [Oh! Oh boy-she brings her hand back, blinking as her sparrow moves to the shoulder, before looking back to Frisk.] Ummm....can you help me name two things then..? [She looks back toward the pot.] ...Both of you, I guess..?
wilt: (spookwave)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-12-15 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
To me, it looks like a phoenix... [ In truth, he doesn't really know what to call it. Scarlet Eagle was pretty standard. ]

... Vermillion? Rose? Blood Orange?

[personal profile] nevergained 2017-12-15 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
How about 'Amon'? It's the name of a god of the air.

[Which suited an eagle, they think. But it's wholly up to Reira to decide.]
soft_focus: (o0o)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2017-12-15 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a god..?

[Woah that's intense- She looks at the bird again.] ...I thought it was a card...

[Wait. Wait. Hold on. Is.

Has she had the resources in her head, this Whole Time?
] ....can you really use something else's name for a different thing..........?
