⇨ WISMUTH

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.

[Whoever it was Shima approached................ .......Apparently they decided they were Quite Busy, that or they just didn't hear Shima at all. Not surprising-in an active carnival, it can be hard to hear someone until they're practically breathing in your ear.

That or just Loud and Gruff, like someone trotting up from behind. Gongenzaka's ears are more sensitive than some human's, after all-so he heard That.
] Hmm? You are another new employee, then? [He asks, only to blink rapidly when he realizes who's speaking.] ...AUH!!

S-SHIMA!? [IT'S YOU!!! WHERE'S YOUR EYE]

[Making a startled noise in the back of his throat and looking up (and up) at uh... whatever.. is addressing him.]

T... that's me??

[Looks toward whoever he was trying to get the attention of just now but they've already bustled away so he has no one to hide behind.]

Uh. I am new though!
betheman: (well that's NEW)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-01-21 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hauh..? [Wait.... ...New?] N...New? But you were here a number of months ago, were you not? How...

[He's...just a bit confused. No one told him about this memory loss risk. No one gave him the Warning, that is Unfair guys-

Fortunately, he's normally quick to catch on.
] ....You...truly are here for the 'first time' in your eyes?

[personal profile] worldlyafflictions 2018-01-21 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Aah, I don't know much about it, the Ringmaster only mentioned there was a previous contract that got nullified...

Sooo.. nice ta meet ya...?

[Shima is starting to realize some of the stuff he doesn't remember may become inconvenient, especially if he managed to make enemies before.. forgetting everything. WELL, hopefully not, right? A year isn't so long that he couldn't have kept things low key...!]
betheman: (WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-01-21 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
N...Nullified..? [Can that really happen? He blinks rather owlishly, before...] AUH..!!

In that case..! Please, forgive me for the shock! [He abruptly announces, bowing rather steeply.] To impose such expectations in that manner...It was UNFORGIVABLE of myself..!!

[dear gon please chill....]

[personal profile] worldlyafflictions 2018-01-21 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, uh, don't even worry about it [waves off Gon's dramatic gestures]. I figure I'll be running inta a few more people who recognize me anyway. The more I know about how people knew me, the better?
betheman: (just quietly enter Thought-)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-01-21 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Such waving off only delays the eventual inevitable.......................But, Gongenzaka does at least seem to be nodding, however...stiff and potentially teary eyed it is.

Tears, really-
] V...Very well.... ...If you have begun over, have they perhaps assigned you to a new position, then?
worldlyafflictions: (ch005pg12p4)

[personal profile] worldlyafflictions 2018-01-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shima's just going to ignore that. Some guys are just emotional.]

Well they put me in 'Acquisitions.' Is that just like doing grocery runs for the carnival or something?
betheman: (FOREVER)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-01-22 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Acquisitions! Hmmnnn.... Indeed, that is one way to put it... Those under acquisitions are meant to 'acquire' that which the Carnival needs-be that by legal means or... [He...frowns a little.] ...Otherwise.

If you are in acquisitions... ...You will be a thief, I imagine? [The only other option is conman, and he doesn't know how Shima would do as a conman. He didn't really know him well.]
worldlyafflictions: (ch011vol03_extra01)

[personal profile] worldlyafflictions 2018-01-23 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
A thief?? Really? That's some way ta run a business. I guess if you can just hop worlds it's easier ta get away with it...

[He doesn't sound disapproving of it, really, though one inclined to find the life of crime distasteful might be lead to think he does.]
betheman: (-3- hrmnnnnnn)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-01-23 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
You will find that faerie logic is.... [...Painfully, given his face-] ...Somewhat skewed here.

However, as noted, it is a mix; theft is meant for that which the Carnival cannot typically spare funds for, I believe... [He is potentially Very Wrong, ask your Boss.]
