⇨ 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.

He hasn't seen Mari in a little while even if he had seen her in passing here and there. It doesn't stop him from walking right up to his favorite pink vampire and leaning over to see exactly what she's having trouble with. He's dressed in his casual best without standing out too much with that usual Victorian Dandy he usually has.

"I would help you out with that but I honestly don't know what half of this food is~ Miss Firecracker."

He did admire her passion for how much energy she always had and his hands settle there on the small of his back. "I do admit it certainly smells good."

Okay, first of all, that is a way better name than Facehugger, and she really dug 'Facehugger' to begin with.

Second of all--

"Whaaaaaat?" She turns, simultaneously (mock) incredulous and (maybe a little less 'mock') appalled.

"You don't even know what a hot dog is?? Oh.... wow. That's just kind of sad, Inky. I'm fixing that." Her mind made up, she spins on her heel twinned ponytails sweeping out behind her--then pauses, glancing back over her shoulder at Tyki.

"You do eat, right? Like, you know, food?"
prazerbutterfly: (playful)

"When I eat it is usually meals or a sandwich at least," he response as if that's absolutely normal. Even in his White life he had hodgepodge meals or a mix of stuff poor people could afford but never anything like this.

"You are?" he starts before she just continues to ask questions, "Of course I eat. Food is one of the many pleasures of my life." And after the manor Tyki absolutely hated to miss a single meal. It almost stressed him out to do so because of it.

"Just watch me!" she tells him before stepping forward to cut in line, dramatically presenting the (visibly uncomfortable) vendor more money than needed for 'one with everything, and.... let's see, an orange soda!'

She tells him to keep the change, waves a cheery goodbye to him and the unhappy line behind her, and pops back over to present Tyki with the goods--foil-wrapped hot dog in one hand and frosty cold soda in the other. The latter still has pieces of ice stuck to it, and the cold wafts a white mist in the balmy evening air.

"Here! Although I guess a hot dog is kind of like a sandwich, now that I think about it... oh well!"
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - too happy)

Her nickname suits her with miles on it already given her enthusiasm and he's watching her cut the line in order to satisfy his curiosity quicker. He could've waited in all honesty but this rises a bit of laughter from him.

"Thank you then," comes his usual unwavering manners and he can feel the warmth from the hot dog against his fingers even through the foil. There's certain a lot on it even as he peels back the foil with his thumb. At least he's not wearing gloves today and with his usual glamour on top of the carnival glamour, one can't see the usual cross shaped scars there unless they are really looking. "Weren't you going to get anything for yourself?"

"Oh, yeah...." she pauses, looking a little perplexed, then pensive. Then she shrugs it off. "It's no big. There's plenty of good food ahead!" If there's one thing Wismuth has no shortage of, it's choices.

And speaking of food--

"Now c'mon, try it! You gotta eat it, not just look at it. It's gonna get cold!" She's playing at impatience, but she really is in it for the results. She's introduced loads of Carnival newbies to shit over the years, but she can never predict who will react to what, and how. Taste is just too personal and too dependent on invisible factors.

That's what makes it worthwhile, really. No one can make you like a food you don't actually like--not even yourself.

Those that truly got to know him would understand that choice was a welcomed and highly appreciated thing for Tyki. He was enjoying this place more than he thought he would.

Since he's holding both he's going to set his orange soda into the crook of his arm and use both hands to peel away at the foil until he can take a proper bite. He didn't mind messy and there was a strange satisfaction at just how much was on it.

"Okay, okay," he responds at her impatience and he pulls it to his lips and takes a good sized bite. He blinks in alarming surprise at how it was decent, hot, pleasing to the tongue, and yet beckoned him to eat more. It's so bad for him. He can tell that already but his face shows a very odd pleasure at the taste. There's nothing on here that he particularly dislikes, "Not bad. Definitely pleasing."

"It's a hot dog, not a glass of wine," she tells him, but she sounds amused instead of critical.

"Pleasing, huh? Good! There's a lot more where that came from." She plants her hands on her hips--determination and satisfaction. "We'll make a junk food junkie outta you yet."

But where does she want to eat....?

"Mmmmm... hmmm. Let's see~"

Honestly, no offence to Tyki, but she didn't come all the way out to Wismuth to eat a hot dog. No matter how good that hot dog might be.

"Okay! I've decided. I'm gonna get something for me--and then you can pick the next stop."

"You'll pardon me if I still enjoy it like a glass of wine," he says briefly before stuffing his face full of it and devouring it rather quickly. His fingers are a mess but unlike a gentleman he does lick it off. He has manners but when it came to subtle things he could choose not to use them.

Now that he's crinkling that foil up into a ball and tossing it towards the trash, to which he nails on the first shot by the way, he's eyeing this orange can with a bit of a turn. At this rate he's going to end up shaking it with the way he's looking on how to open it. He finds the grove of it and catches the underside with his fingertip.

"Ah, if that is what you wish." Prodding it a little he manages to crack it open only to be showered with a spray of orange soda. "I have a feeling I did that wrong." Thankfully his Power to Choose will prevent him from getting wet but that doesn't stop the spray from going through him onto the person beside him.
