⇨ THE LUNAR SOLSTICE

[ringleaders]

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.

Childermass won't be gone long, seeing how it isn't exactly a huge cabin by any stretch of the imagination. So, he's gone to search, then back again almost immediately, towel in tow. He'll set it down on the table next to where Tyki's sitting, rather than tossing it to him or any other such nonsense like that.

Not when the man's wasted and covered in dog slobber, certainly not.

"In all honesty, I should just get you an entire pitcher of water and then make you go lay down, Mr. Mikk. You shouldn't have gone out visiting in this state."

There's a good chance the towel might've passed right through him. The reason he's struggling with his power at all was that it was always passively active. He had to actually choose to touch things when he reached out for them. While it usually happened subconsciously, much like breathing was to anyone, his mind was unfocused. It's why when he sets the glass back down on the table and opts for the towel instead his hand will pass through one to reach the other with the glass fusing to the table when he dips into it too far.

He smothers his face with the towel and rubs it down the side of his neck. Childermass might notice a few buttons out of place here and there from his hazardous redressing of himself at the spa. Herbert was rushing him just a little. There's a deep chuckle at the mild scolding in his direction and he's lowering the towel into his lap moments later.

"That doesn't sound like a terrible idea but I wouldn't want to impose on your isolation. I was following my Tease but it came to you instead of my cabin," which only leads him to assume he pulled the tracker instead of the one he's designated and ordered to be his mail carrier. "In short, I went the wrong way."

"Yes, I noticed as much," Childermass replies, completely unsurprised. He couldn't really think of any reason for a wasted Tyki to stagger his way to the far end of the village and puke all over his snowy front yard besides being lost, horribly, horribly lost, and now here he is. So, he idly folds his arms across his chest, leaning his weight back on one heel as he does, and gives Tyki an extremely unimpressed look, but that can't be too surprising.

"But seeing how you've already imposed, you may as well stay where I can keep an eye on you. I am as responsible for your safety as I ever am, even if we're off on a holiday."

"Nothing escapes you," he states casually as he watches that Childermass unimpressed air don the man all over again, "but this one knows your scent most likely and just led me here. Or maybe I was unclear of where I wanted to go." Tyki honestly couldn't tell up from down right now other than the fact he was sitting.

His grin grows wider than it already is and he sinks into that chair in a lazy manner. The cabin was warm, he was still tired and thirsty, and he couldn't really argue with the man's words that brought him such cheer and comfort, "If you insist, boss. I wouldn't want to make your responsibility harder~"
