⇨ 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.

He shouldn't be laughing, he really shouldn't be laughing, he's got no idea how this happened and no idea how to turn 9S back, this is not a laughing matter. But Jonathan Strange is a person who gets a bit giggly when high and 9S is a chicken and this is somehow the most hilarious thing that's happened all week.

As 9S clucks, Strange badly represses a laugh. He puts his hand up to his mouth, as if that will somehow stifle this inopportune case of the giggles but no, it isn't working. Eventually, he manages to stop laughing enough in order to say,

"You're a chicken!"

No shit, Strange.

Great! Now he knows the name of the animal he's been turned into. That doesn't solve his problem.

Strange is damn lucky that 9S can't attack humans, otherwise Stranges legs would be getting pecked so hard right now. Obviously, Strange is going to be damn useless while he's high out of his mind and 9S knows the drugs are gonna take a while to work through his system. How much did Strange take, anyway!?

Letting out a frustrated squawk, 9S turns and runs off to make his way back to the Carnival; he's not gonna wait with Strange while he's like this. Pod 153 will be there for assistance while he's stuck as this... chicken. Pod 153 can collect his clothes and belongings as well, because he's sure as hell not gonna rely on Strange to get them back to him in one piece!

So with that in mind... Bye, Strange!!!
