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. |

Does Strange need to concentrate? Too bad. To 9S, Strange is just touching ice Siobhan. (At least it isn't kissing this time.) "Is there anything I need to do?"
He had to step into Syrlya's portals. Maybe he needs to do the same thing here?
no subject
Strange lets go of 9S's hand, taking a moment to catch his breath. He's breathing harder than normal but if pressed, Strange is straight up going to underplay it. Instead, he gives 9S a self-satisfied little grin. The power of English magic, bringing them right back to where he wanted.
"The cabin I'm staying in is close by. Follow me!"
no subject
Yelping when he's yanked forward, 9S stumbles the landing but manages to stay upright. "That was cool," he says in awe, not noticing the pun.
But... observing Strange, his suspicions are correct. Every time he's seen the magician use his magic, it's noticeably tired him. Maybe magic still is deadly to humans, just not the same way WCS was deadly.
9S trots after Strange. "It must be convenient being able to travel like that. It would've made things waaay more easier back home. If I wanted to get anywhere while on Earth, they made me walk!"
no subject
Strange can't help but laugh a little, shaking his head. "I still had to walk back home! In my world, the mirrors connected to something called the King's Roads. They're roads in faerie, built by the Raven King. The roads don't exist here, but I tweaked the spell so that the mirrors would serve as doorways to other mirrors."
A wry little smile plays on Strange's face as he continues. "It's still quite 'cool.' But there's more walking involved."
no subject
Sigh, walking. It's not like 9S gets tired from walking the way humans do, but that doesn't mean he likes it.
9S hums, thinking. "If the King's Roads don't exist here, but you connected the mirrors... doesn't that mean you built new roads like the Raven King did?"
no subject
A brief moment of pride flits through Strange's being at even being compared to the Raven King. He knows that 9S doesn't know the full extent of Strange's yearning for and idolization of the Raven King—aside from Childermass, nobody in the carnival could even begin to realize just how deep it ran. But even to be compared to the man makes Strange beam with pride.
"I couldn't even do half of what the Raven King could do. The King's Roads are actual roads, built in faerie, constructed by the king himself. What I'm doing...think of a doorway that opens up to multiple rooms. I'm simply picking which room to enter. I don't know if I could create anything like the roads to begin with and, if I could, I certainly couldn't do it in the carnival."
no subject
But he wants to know. He was built to be naturally curious, after all. Said curiosity was what got him into trouble all the time, but was he really at fault for wanting to know that which is hidden from him?
"Doesn't a road also point to a predetermined location?
no subject
Heaven knows there were some times he wandered the king's roads just to wander. They were here, they could be visited and explored. The doorway approach of his mirrors really couldn't do that.
"Doorways only go one way."
no subject
The cabin is within approach by now. And because it's not his cabin, 9S waits for Strange to enter it first. It would be rude for him to just bust in, after all.
no subject
As Strange enters the cabin, he holds the door open for 9S. The cabin itself is a bit of a mess, but it's clean enough to walk around. Strange makes a beeline to one unmade bed, reaches underneath it, and offers 9S a book shaped present wrapped in blue paper.
"Happy holidays," he says with a smile.
no subject
He almost immediately starts to unwrap it before remembering himself. Digging into his coat pocket and feeling a bit awkward -- somehow, giving his gift to Strange is different to giving Rita hers -- 9S holds out a small unwrapped box of rainbow matches.
He explains, "Your magic tires you when you use a lot of it, right? I thought you could use these to help take some of the load off yourself during your shows."
no subject
"You'll have to tell me how wrong that is," he responds, as 9S starts unwrapping the present. Though, there's a pause as 9S reaches into his pocket and hands Strange the matches.
With a grin, Strange pockets the matches. "Thank you, 9S. I've already got a few ideas about how best to use these!"
no subject
"Are you gonna tell me?" Strange can't dangle something like that in front of him and not tell him!!
Meanwhile, 9S finishes unwrapping the gift he received, reading the text on the back of the book. Oh, it's a book about robots? This should be interesting...
no subject
"I can shape things with fire. Perhaps I'll use the appropriate match to make whatever I'm shaping the color it's supposed to be? Aside from that, I've worked out a way to put an image in the fire. If I use a lighter color, perhaps that will give the image more definition."
Though Strange isn't an artist, he's picked up a few terms here and there from watching Arabella work. Lighter colors give something darker more definition, right? At least, Strange is talking in such a definitive way that he's pretty certain that's how definition works.
