⇨ 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.

Foster looks a lot less cowed and a lot more... conceited?

The kind of happiness that comes with pride as well as sincerity.

He's standing upright, smiling broadly back into Tanyuu's cold stare. It's almost like he's delighted by her hostility. Most of the time, Foster is bent over, or hunched at the shoulders to make physical the difference in station between himself and others. But other people's displeasure is the opposite of aversive for him--it's empowering, attractive and addictive. So where Ginko shrinks, Foster does exactly the opposite.

He knows why she hates him--

"Tanyuu, right?"

Disgust curls up in Tanyuu's throat, but she doesn't let it show. She won't let it show, not when she knows that it will just feed into his twisted ego.

"Amazing that you remembered. I assumed it would have fallen out of your mind just like any morals you once had." She turns back to Ginko, expression shifting to concern. "Is he causing you any trouble?"
dontpokethat: i wont be listening (say what you will about it)

Ginko winces. This is... a disaster, frankly. This conversation has been going on for ten seconds and it's a disaster.

"No, he's not," he replies quickly. "We were just looking at the..."

...

"...the knives."

That's... probably fine.

I don't know if I should add to this lmao I'm so tired

The only person who thinks this conversation is a disaster. Foster feels stronger and more complete, more powerful, more himself right now than he has in months.

"He causes me more trouble than I cause him," Foster informs Tanyuu coolly--and without even a trace of irony or self-awareness.

And yet, for some reason, he keeps talking. Her smile is tight and her tone full of bitter brightness as she shoots back at Foster with a venemous glare, "Oh! So he's endangered you and everyone else around out of a selfish and entirely self-centered refusal to accept that reality does not follow his perception of it, and denied that you are possessed of free will and have a right to live your life as you choose? How very odd!"

In a few moments she'll feel bad about putting Ginko in the middle of this, but right now she's too angry and intent on tearing a chunk out of Foster's metaphorical hide.
dontpokethat: its that i have no idea whats going on (if existing for an amount of time)

"Hey-- okay, first of all, I don't. Second, Tanyuu, it's alright, he's... he's still pretty awful, but don't worry about that."

Normally he'd make some effort to be more tactful about this, but it's not as if Foster is going to mind. In fact, Ginko is pretty sure he'd prefer this to having something said about how he's "gotten better" or anything along those lines.

Foster almost doesn't hear Ginko, because he's laughing--laughing over Ginko, and over Tanyuu too, the tip of his sword buried in the snow as he waves one furred paw in the air grandiosely.

"How would he do that? I'm not possessed of free will, nor have I the right to 'live my life' as I choose." The idea that something like that could be Ginko's fault is actually hilarious--if it weren't so insulting.

No, not unless Tanyuu thinks Ginko got to him before he was born. He yanks the sword out of the ground, accidentally(?) swinging it so that Ginko can't advance, can't interrupt or get a word in between without risking some fur, or perhaps the tip of his nose.

It seems too convenient to be unintentional, but he doesn't even seem aware of Ginko, his blue eyes on Tanyuu and only Tanyuu.

"It's terrible, isn't it? Unpleasant? Painful? But not liking reality doesn't make it untrue!"
