⇨ WISMUTH

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: S2:D6-D11
Where: Wismuth and the Carnival Grounds
What: The carnival enjoys a few days in Wismuth, a coastal city on this planet's version of the American east. However, there are a few things very unique about this version of the planet...
Warnings: The usual, wholesome fun.

PILLAR OF CREATION↴ Upon arriving, things in Wismuth will seem pretty peaceful. It's a massive city, with no shortage of things going on, but things like violent crime and homelessness are at an all time low. You can wander the streets without much scrutiny, presumed to just be tourists, and most people here come across as helpful and friendly. ► VIBRANCY: The main thing that sets this planet apart is its vibrancy - AKA, the raw creative energy its filled with, flowing from its status as a Pillar of Creation. There is no literal pillar, but Wismuth and its planet is a place where Creation's energy comes through strongest. As a result, everything here feels somehow more real, more intense in a way that's hard to put a finger on. Life is abundant, and its bleeds through in every sensation. ► ATTRACTIONS: There are plenty of things to see while going around the city. First and foremost, there is a lovely beach area bordering the ocean, and a number of tourist aimed attractions built around it. There are giant malls, movie theaters, live stage performances, museums and all kinds of other points of cultural interest. Anything you can do in a big city you can do here, but better. ► ALLOWANCES: The Ringmaster will be giving everyone a reasonable amount of local currency for a few days on the town. You can't make any massive acquisitions with it, but it's more than enough to eat out, see some shows, go to the beach, and whatever you like. You can feel free to pick up some casual supplies, like mundane clothing and souvenirs. There will be more given out later, after the performance week. ► PERFORMANCE: Performance week is starting early this time, after only a couple days of exploration. When the carnival has already been on vacation for a month, the Ringmaster figures they may as well get right to it, and then do more touring afterwards. Members of the local populace will find themselves in the carnival once performances begin, dazzled by the other worldly sights. Magic doesn't seem to exist here, despite the fact that it will flow easier for people bringing it from other worlds.

Attractions:

Yuzu cannot believe it! It's so busy here. After all that time on the moon, being someplace a little more warm and exciting was certainly needed. Of course, it seemed like there was just too much to do! Right now, Yuzu's just busy exploring the city and seeing what there is to do before committing to anything.

Though, there is that urge to go to the beach...!

Performances:

It didn't feel like it, but it certainly felt like it was the first time Yuzu was actually working as a cashier. Fun time was over, time to do some work. It didn't seem that bad, though she had to do some adjusting with the currency -- too used to her own currency at that moment, but she was handling it quite alright.

Of course, by the time anyone else catches her, she might be a little winded.

"What was I thinking? So many people here...!"

Attractions

[hippocarnival]

If she need direction, there's a very familiar Yuzuuu! as Yuya comes zooming around on his skates he definitely didn't have in Maiami, spinning a circle around her before he stops.

"Hey, Yuzu!" He's a little winded from racing around, but he has a better idea how to find his way around the city, now. "Found anything fun yet?"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"Found anything? I found too much to do!" Yuzu said. "There's just so much here, it's hard to pick which one to go to first."

[hippocarnival]

"There's a few days at least." Yuya's equally overwhelmed, but it really just excites him to get moving sooner to experience as much of it as possible before they leave.

He points forward. "There's some weird art display in the park that way, and a really cool antique shop, and the beach is as good as Maiami."

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"The beach, huh...?" Yuzu mused before shaking her head. "We're gonna need to plan this out. I don't think we're going to be able to hit everything while we're here. Not that lucky!"

[hippocarnival]

"I guess not..." Of course not, it's a huge city and they have a few days. He taps his chin thoughtfully.

"We could wait on the beach to see if Gongenzaka wants to go, too. Maybe we can get some watermelons to break open." They could spend a whole afternoon there, so that makes the most sense to him. He's glad about that swimsuit be bought in Greysol, now--he doesn't have to find another one.

He doesn't really want to sit here and plan their whole time, however. "Let's keep walking and see if anything else looks interesting!"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Yuzu nodded at that. "Good idea. We're probably missing something here by standing here." she said. "Hopefully, we won't meander in this sort of thought."

Performances

[genice]

Between watching shows to familiarise himself and wandering in general to understand the ebb and flow of the whole of the carnival grounds, Victor's keeping himself from overthinking much of anything by keeping moving. Not foolproof as a plan, but working so far.

He hears her comment offhand, glancing over and blinking as he registers who'd been speaking. "At the carnival?"

Re: Performances

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Yuzu blinked as Victor overheard what she said, then laughed nervously. "Y-Yeah, this is the first time I've really done this job, so it's a bit overwhelming."

[genice]

His smile was automatic, but genuine in its sympathy. "How're you feeling about it?"

Performance anxiety was an any age occurrence, as he'd learned over the last year.

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"Heh, I think it's something I can handle it, but it's something I need to get to used to." Yuzu admitted, returning the smile.

"Like I said, I didn't expect so many people."

[genice]

"There's been a decent crowd. It's been impressive!" More for the overall environment than sheer numbers of people, but he was used to larger crowds. "I'm sure you handled everything fine already, and it'll be more comfortable the more you do. What were you working at before this?"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"To be honest, I didn't have a job back home." Yuzu said. "Closest I had was helping my dad at the You Show Academy."

Performance-!

[betheman]

"Yuzu!" What was she thinking? A mystery, clearly, but here's Gongenzaka-somehow wearing that...sci-fi coat he drunkenly purchased. His bushes, fortunately, come out through a large hole for everything-the only fabric covering anything is the hood, what with it being pulled down to rest at the back of his mane. He himself is on duty of course-but he gives a wave, trotting over as his Daemon mists at his side-before wandering 'elsewhere' to keep a better eye on things. "Are you doing well? This place is fairly busy, compared to Greysol, isn't it..!" Wismuth is massive after all, next to that place-not to mention the number of people who actually want to buy multitudes of Things since they weren't all born with a playmate...

Re: Performance-!

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Yuzu laughed a bit before she answered Gongenzaka. "I'm trying to hang in there. It's rough - I hadn't expected it to be so busy!"

[betheman]

"Aaah, such is the way of the Carnival, after all..!" he laughs, shaking his head. "I, the man Gongenzaka, wouldn't worry too much however... ...it is often busiest within the first day, but more importantly, we appear to have arrived not long from their own 'concert'. ...There is a good chance we will be losing customers to that..."

But that said. "You have been taking breaks, I presume?"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"I have... I think. What time is it, I'm sure I haven't gone too long." Yuzu said, blinking. Oh, gosh, did she forget to go on one?

[betheman]

"Mmm? Time?" He pauses, glancing around for a clock. Come to think-

"...........I, the man Gongenzaka...should potentially invest in a watch..." You too, Yuzu. Mmm. "Well...if your shift is almost over, you could perhaps take the break for now, and then sign out at the end of it...." Whoever's looking after that stuff for Treasury can probably understand. He thinks.

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"Ha, we both should." Yuzu said. "Shoulda bought one back at the other world, but oh, well." she shrugged her shoulders at that. "I'll wait until the crowds thin out just a little bit more..."

[pipers_son]

"The joy of workin' in a nice bustlin' city~." With the thunk of a water bottle being put upon the front of the entrance, Joker grins over to the girl. These kind of stops are the ones he likes the best: perfectly normal, full of people, and bright. Then again, this place feels a little brighter and more colorful than normal, enough that he himself is feeling fantastic just for being around.

As long as it's nothing like Celebration, he's fine with that.

"Seems like yer hard at work, 'tho!"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Yuzu can't help but laugh. "You're not kidding at being "hard at work"!" she said. "It's been quite busy here, it's surprising!"

[pipers_son]

"My-" He places a hand dramatically to his chest and flutters his eyelashes. "Don't tell me yer worn out already!"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Yuzu can't help but laugh, no matter how tired it was. "It's my first real test, I wasn't ready!" she said. "Next time will be much better."

[pipers_son]

"Well, that's always good ta hear." Leaning against the booth, he glances out to the crowds already inside the carnival. It's a pretty good turnout, and one that hasn't caught on fire yet.

"Gonna switch with someone for a break soon?"

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

"Try to, I hope. I don't want to go too long and miss a chance to do so." Yuzu admitted.
