⇨ 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.

[They take her hand with a shy smile and follow along. This was bringing back memories that were bittersweet at this point. But not bad.]

I'm Frisk. It's nice to meet you Tanyuu.

[Oh, right-]

Um, I'm working as a clown here.
fourthscribe: (I'll make her accept it somehow)

A clown? I'll have to think up a suitable pattern for painting your face, then--if that's alright with you?

[She's already horribly taken with this child--they're earnest and sweet, obviously wanting to be sure they're doing a good job. Why else would they be practicing jokes like that?]

[...well, actually there's plenty of reasons to do that, but the context makes this especially cute, okay.]

We can do any sort of theme you'd like, and I'll do my best to not tickle you with the brushes.

[It's an even split. They're a clown so they have to practice jokes and Frisk has a particular love of awful jokes and telling them. Win/win.]

As long as I look hot, it's okay.

[Yes, they said that with a completely straight face. Frisk can't resist awful lines like that either.]

Even flowers?

[They like flowers.]
fourthscribe: (Insert foot to mouth)

[personal profile] fourthscribe 2018-01-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[um what]

Look--I think you don't have to worry about that for a few years, dear. And I can certainly do some flowers for you; i could even weave a few into your hair if you like.

[A small buzzing cheep preceeds a new member of the conversation: a Cutiefly peeks out from Tanyuu's scarf and looks down at Frisk curiously, and Tanyuu laughs softly.]

Well, good morning, Haruki!

[Frisk giggles, clearly having fun.]

I think I'd like that.

[It's not quite a nice memory, but when they fell Frisk wound up with so many Golden Flowers in their hair and it did look nice.

And then it didn't. But! They're not going to think about that. Frisk's more interested in the creature poking out of Tanyuu's scarf.]


Hi there. Who's this?
fourthscribe: (I'll travel with you)

[personal profile] fourthscribe 2018-01-31 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Haruki cheeps and buzzes his wings before flitting out of his little nest into the cold air--instantly all of the fuzz on him fluffs out and he squeaks, but flits closer to Frisk to get a better look at them. What a kind aura they have!]

This is Haruki. I'm afraid he doesn't like the cold much more than I do, but he's quite friendly.

[They have to resist the urge to pull as many * PETS as they can.]

Can I hold him?
fourthscribe: (I like them!)

[personal profile] fourthscribe 2018-02-01 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Tanyuu doesn't even have time to answer before Haruki chirps and bobs happily, lowering himself to their hands. Tanyuu hides a laugh behind her hand, eyes twinkling.]

Well, I think you have your answer there!

[Frisk breaks out into a huge grin and raises a hand slowly to give Haruki a gentle pet.]

He's sweet.
