[ringleaders]

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.

[Monsters are weird, in a way. Not human but human like in a way. But those weren't Frisk's thoughts alone. They're never alone in their head.]

I'm not alone, and I hope I can make them happy.

[This time for sure.]

[prazerbutterfly]

Happy? Mm, right now people could use happy.

[He finishes his apple cider and sets the cup aside on the ground.]

[nevergained]

[Frisk finishes their own drink but keeps a hold of their cup, the fading warmth helping to keep their fingers warm for now.]

It's hard for everyone to be happy. [They can admit that much.] But I'm going to try.

[They're filled with Determination, after all.]

[prazerbutterfly]

[Frisk is welcomed to more or even some for the road. If Sans was one of those monsters he'd want him to be happy.]

Well, I'm certainly charmed already. [He admits easily.] In any case, stay as long as you wish, have another cup of chocolate. Should still be warm in the kitchen. Try not to snoop too much in the left side of the cabin. I don't know if Joker has returned or not or if he's sleeping.

[As much as he himself would love to keep talking he's still recovering even with the Cure having worked full force in his system.]

[nevergained]

[That particular relationship is complicated with a capital 'C'. But Frisk is with Tyki on wanting Sans to be happy.]

I'll be quiet like a mouse. [Shame there's no safes to try and hack.] And I'll keep my nose out of the left side.

[That is accompanied by a slightly cheeky grin. But apparently for a kid who's fine with pulling a polite B&E, they're considerate.]

And thank you for the hot chocolate. It tastes really good.

[prazerbutterfly]

Thank you, Frisk.

[He rises out of his chair with a lazy stretch to even the point his ears bend backwards in a flick. He's akin to a cat right now with how he could just drape over something and doze off. He's sure Joker would scold him though on sleeping on the floor again when he didn't want to move.

He's considerably trusting of a kid to leave them alone or maybe this cabin had nothing valuable. Either way he's waving over his shoulder as he heads towards his room.] If you need anything else I'm over here. Night and welcome to the carnival.
