⇨ 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.

[Wardrobe is a good place to go-but hooboy, is the manager something.

Most of her body looks like feathery marble, marked with spiralling tattoos-tattoos which, between their lines, cut right through her it seems. What's revealed by that though, and what flows out to form her tail and wings (not to mention flows from the feathers of her hair and ears) is...Light. Pure, fluid light, like an aurora, or a lava lamp, perhaps. It's dulled a bit, so that it's not hard to look at...but there she is, hovering a few inches from the ground, bird-feet held with a slight bend.
]

Ohh? [Carly starts, turning and brushing some hair from her eyes.] Hello? Something you need? [...She's wearing perhaps as much as Shura is. Possibly already a Good Start.]

[For once, Shura is mostly covered up, but this uniform was designed to attract attention, not fight demons or whatever potential nasties might make their way to the carnival.

After her first few encounters with some of the employees, Shura almost expects to see a changed someone; she is not expecting to see someone who seems to be partially made out of light. It gives her pause, but only just so.
]

Mm, yeah. Don't know if you're the one I need to talk to, but apparently I'm workin' here now. This uniform's all I got on me, so I was wondering how I could get a hold of of something to change into.

[Even if it was just on loan, life would be a bit easier with at at least something to sleep in.]

The link won't load :'[ assuming it's the school uniform tho...

[personal profile] insidescoop 2018-01-21 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, then she's absolutely wearing Less. Huzzah-

That said, Carly seems rather eager the minute Shura explains. Immediately, she perks up, nodding furiously.
] Aah, I see, I see~! You've come to the right place! What are you going to be working in? I can provide basic clothes and things, but depending on your job, you get extra outfits too~! Just for protection and such.

[No one wants to go as an animal keeper and get flaming dung on them. No one. (God thing that ain't your job, Shura)]

[Oh, good. If Shura had to go on a wild goose hunt just to find some underwear, she'd be pissed. Even a Faerie overlord should understand the importance of that. It's enough to get Shura to relax just the smallest bit, letting herself take a quick look over the stashes of fabric and shiny stuff in the tent.]

Patrol, whatever that means. [Besides the obvious. Because there was probably more to it than just that.
But seeing as she does have a sword on her hip, there's probably a reason for her to be assigned to that group.
]

I don't need much--I don't wanna run up my bill or anything. But I'd be grateful for whatever you can help me with.

[Please help her with the stripping down, friend, she'll appreciate it]
fortuneglass: (o-o?)

IT DID AND YELLS IT'S THAT ONE I'M LAUGHING

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-21 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hoh, Patrol..! That's pretty simple then... ...You could probably just wear casual clothes for that one! Since you'll be wandering the Carnival to nab anyone about to do something fishy, it's best if you blend in a little...

[As it is, she waves a hand.] Don't worry..! If something's going to cost extra, you'll be the first to know! ....Mostly because I can't get the material until then.... ....Really, you're fine if you just stick with the number of clothes you'd need to stay clean and comfortable, along with some towels and bed-things. Not to mention, [she adds, ever serious,] Necessities..!

[Underwear she means underwear-]

...Ah-! ...We'll need the mannequin to get your measurements too, so that fittings don't take lots of time...
exaomori: (🐍 21)

it's Kato's gift to the world, I can't not use it??

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-21 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[That's vaguely reassuring. That is, if she can trust her. That was still up in the air, but no point in looking a gift horse in the mouth.]

Ah, that's a relief. [Yes, necessities were good. Shura can catch what Carly's throwing at her.] But measurements--I don't need anything that fancy.

[Shura bought off the rack, the thought that something might have to be measured and tailored strikes her as a bit much...]
fortuneglass: (<o<)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-21 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
If I'm making you clothes, I need measurements. [There's no arguing that, and Carly is already hauling what looks like a basic wooden mannequin out.] You're not going to be performing-so you're right! I won't need you to come in for regular fittings or anything...but at the very least, I need to make sure something WILL fit!

So it's important that this thing knows what you look like!

[wat]
exaomori: <user name=worldlyafflictions> (🐍 50)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-21 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[uh wait what]

That's--

[No, Shura, it's okay. It's not completely unheard of. The uniform she had on now was custom made for her, though she didn't want to think about how Mephisto knew her measurements. She sighs, rolling her shoulders back.]

If you gotta, fine. Just tell me where you need me to be.

[Surely, the mannequin needing to know what she looked like was just a turn of phrase. That's all. Nothing weird about a wooden mannequin like this!]

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Just stay right there, [Carly instructs, floating back with a scoot.] Now...

Do your thing, Mannequin~!

Of course, dahling~ [oh no

It's really not as bad as it..Sounds. The mannequin clunkily springs to life, but otherwise doesn't actually move toward Shura at all. Instead, with a fingerless wooden hand, it pauses to hold its 'chin'-not that it has one, it looks more like a scaled up artist's dummy-and abruptly, the wood begins to shift. Pieces don't change too much....but within seconds, as it takes a confident pose, it appears to be exactly the same size as Shura herself.
]

Tadahh~ And that's it!

[It's not really...detailed enough for bra measurements, but hey, Carly has her ways around that. She knows the Pain.] It's way nicer than going around with a tape, right~?
exaomori: (🐍 38)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-21 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uhhhh where is the measuring tape, there should be a measuring tape is she's measuring her, right?? Shura nearly takes a step back in leery confusion, but then the mannequin is moving, and it really would have been nice to know that the mannequin was possessed--or at least, Shura assumes it's possessed, which isn't inherently a bad thing--, before it decided to do its thing.

But it's a pretty painless procedure, though Shura's just a little concerned that it might have stolen some part of her soul or something like that. She knows better than to just trust things that had any kind of supernatural ability.
]

That's pretty convenient.

[okay fine, she'll come closer to inspect it. Yeah, that's her size, all right. Not 100%, but pretty damn good.]

Does it remember everything if you need to make somethin' else, or do you have to take it every time?
fortuneglass: (o-o?)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Right? [Carly sounds over the moon. Which is conveniently where they purchased this.] Our assistant, Julien, picked it up from the World Walker Caravan during our holiday..! Apparently it was supposed to be for children to play pretend with..?

[She never really listened to the details oops.] It matches body size perfectly, even if it's in chunks..! And it remembers, [Carly answers.] I just need to make sure...ah-

...If you could give it your name, I'll be able to ask for the sizes whenever it's needed.
exaomori: (🐍 60)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-23 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Children shouldn't be playing with enchanted or possessed mannequins, but that's beside the point. It's almost a little embarrassing that they've gotten so far without Shura having to introduce herself as more than just a newbie in the patrol, but maybe light bird lady's used to newcomers coming in like this.]

Ah--Kirigakure Shura. Sorry, I shoulda given that to you earlier.

[Look at her, being all nice and polite! She really is just tired after everything that's happened today.]

[personal profile] insidescoop 2018-01-23 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Shura! Got it! [She points to the Mannequin.] Keep that name for this size!

Don't worry about it, [She adds, looking back to Shura with a grin.] Sometimes simple things get lost when you're starting out, right? It's a really weird place, right?

[ w e l l . . .]
exaomori: (🐍 4)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's kinda an understatement, but yeah.

[Sure, Shura was familiar with demons, but this was closer to some anime movie than a real demon encounter.]
fortuneglass: credit - haptisms @ lj (:))

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-23 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either way-you're covered for measurements~ [She cheers, beaming.] Which means all I need now really is...well, a list! How many sets of clothes you think you'd need, what kind...that sort of thing! I try to stick to what people would each feel comfortable with!

[And it's not too hard either, provided she avoids...patterns and such.] Like I said, don't think about what it 'could' cost-I'll tell you if I can't do something for free..!!
exaomori: (🐍 21)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-27 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's the case...

[She has to think, raising a hand to tuck her hair behind her ear as she tries to remember her wardrobe back home. A series of bikinis and shorts and thigh highs with the occasional dress thrown in. For a moment, she wonders if she should try something different. Something new to go with her still new-ish hair and attitude.


Nah, there wasn't much need for that. So that's the sort of list Shura will give her.
]

An' a shirt or something to wear over it if it's cold or something. Whatever you got should be fine, I ain't gonna be picky if it's free.

[Though should she be saying that at a carnival? Hopefully not being picky won't backfire on her.]
fortuneglass: (<o<)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-29 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm-hmm... Good taste~ [She compliments, a few of her feathers fluffing cheerily.] In that case, this should be fine~! Are you sure about not being picky though? I can at least work with favorite colours or something...
exaomori: (🐍 60)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-01-30 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[It's always good to meet someone who appreciate's Shura sense of fashion!! Some people would rather her just put on a shirt, but that would just be no fun.]

Favorite color? Red, I guess. If you got the fabric for it, something with a fun pattern or design. And a black jacket would go with pretty much anything, so that too.
fortuneglass: (:D)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-01-31 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm! I'll see what I can do~ [Red is noted, and black as well. She ponders certain plausible accents...maybe she could patch together a more unique 'pattern' just through multiple fabric layers...]

I'll probably have a few things ready in just a few days....but everything should be done before we're off world, for sure!~
exaomori: (🐍 2)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-02-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it.

[she does, she really does. pls birdlady, make her some bombass bikinis that she can move in.]

D'you want me to come back in a few days, or will you contact me when they're ready?
insidescoop: credit - alpha-graphics @ lj (Yeeeeeheheh)

[personal profile] insidescoop 2018-02-05 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'll call you! Though...I'll need your radio frequency for that...
exaomori: (🐍 19)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-02-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that-- [She has to think for a moment, but she did think to memorize it earlier.] 186.75309. That sounds right...
fortuneglass: (:D)

[personal profile] fortuneglass 2018-02-07 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm! [Thumbs up then!] Then I'll see you later~ Go enjoy yourself until then, neh~?
exaomori: (🐍 2)

[personal profile] exaomori 2018-02-09 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Got it. Thanks again for this. [Shura gives a quick bow, then will make her exit if Carly doesn't think of anything else to tell her!]
