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. |

[ just said in a matter of fact tone of voice. ] Everybody worries about everybody else and tries to help but very few people know those magic or skills. A potion could help no matter what.
no subject
Turns out giving people healing potions is something I've got practice in, so I think I can manage that. ( it wouldn't be difficult at all. Her mind is already thinking of gifts for cole, although she doesn't give him any specifics, in case he can pick up on that. It would be hard to keep it a surprise from him, but she'll try. ) It's strange there's not many people here who know healing.
( Herself included. Spirit healing, hah -- she'd had no talent for it when she was younger, and now it seems almost impossible to think of having any skill in it at all. )
no subject
It is strange, though. People can learn. Why haven't they?
[ Is it just because they didn't know they could learn? Or they thought other magic was more important? ]
no subject
But his comment makes her smile, slightly. )
If they're like me, it's most likely they've no skill in it. If that doesn't matter here, then--
( Then she's going to have to come up with reasons why she'd rather leave it to other people. )
no subject
Though, at Lavellan's smile, Cole can't help but smile a little as well, a tiny little awkward smile. ]
I don't really know how magic works. Not like you or Solas. So I don't know what matters or not. I just know that there aren't as many as there should be.
no subject
I'll see what I can learn while I'm here. ( And she gives him a nod, the lines on her face relaxing some. ) It's good to know you're here and well, Cole. If I'm to spend a year and a day here, the company is much appreciated.
no subject
[ Because he is. She's here, she understands him, and she's just what this place needs. Someone bright and nice and kind.
By this point, they're at one of the dining halls on the moon. Cole pushes the door open, holding it open for Lavellan. ]
People eat here. It's bright, shining in the sun.
no subject
Just-- Lavellan, please. I'm no longer the Inquisitor.
( A title she didn't want at first, and the title that became more of her than she expected. And for what? To be tossed away in one final act of defiance towards the people of Thedas who never appreciated what she did for them? What she sacrificed? What she still would have to sacrifice to save them all?
The bad mood threatens to cloud her mind, and so she sets it aside for now. Her bitterness has no place here, not at the moment, not with Cole. )
A good place to gather. ( Like the tavern back in Skyhold. Lavellan nods, taking it in. ) How are we to pay for our meals?
( Her meals, since Cole is Cole. )
no subject
That confusion is visible on his face as Cole answers her questions. ]
We don't. Not here, at least. This is a treat. They were someplace worrying before but almost everyone came out solid and strong.
[ pause, frown, stare. ]
Why aren't you the Inquisitor?
no subject
As for his question, well. )
Because the wolf that took my arm knew too much about the Inquisition. If I'm to have the chance to change his mind, if I'm to stop him, I need to take away every advantage he has. And we'd done what it was formed to do -- it was time. ( They could hardly accuse her of a misuse of it now, she thinks, as they would have if she'd used the resources to chase after Solas before.
Cole, she thinks, will understand. She hopes he does, at least. )
Hang on -- almost everyone?
no subject
He doesn't know how to feel about that. So, he's focusing on her question instead. ]
Some were changed. [ Cole simply answers. ] Others were broken and bare. They should fix eventually, but they won't be the same.
[ It was a hell of an event. ]
I wasn't there for all of it, I don't know how they broke. But if you ask about the Prince, you should know.
[ Cole knows that somehow people ended up somewhere wrong and that changed them and terrified them. What he doesn't know is how they ended up somewhere wrong in the first place, what exactly happened that brought them so low to begin with. ]
no subject
Talking about what went on here -- that was easier. )
Once I get more settled. ( For knowing how things could go badly here -- it seems she can't shake old habits, can't completely rid herself of the mentality that she needs to be doing something. That, maybe, is her and not the Inquisitor, and Lavellan makes a small note of it in the case that she needs something to refocus on in the future when concerned about who she is and isn't. ) Have you be helping them with the fallout then, Cole?
no subject
Some don't know about me. Worlds without spirits, cut off and dead. I have to do more explaining than helping at certain points.
[ What are you, well I'm Cole, that's not helpful, well I'm a spirit, what kind of spirit, well I think I'm compassion, how can that be a spirit, and so on and so forth. At least back in Thedas, people knew about him and knew what spirits were and what they could do. It's part of the reason why he clung so close to people like Rita: he didn't have to explain things to her as much as others. ]
no subject
You're free to send anyone to me, Cole, if you'd rather not answer their questions or if they can't understand you.
( Sometimes it was nice to have someone to do that, she knew. Solas used to do it for him, back before he'd left --
she remembers Cole's remark in the remains of the library. That he wished Solas was there, because Solas understood. Of course he did, Lavellan thinks ruefully, the Veil was his fault to begin with. )
