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.

Connie was on the prowl for more cheap books. (You can never have enough).

Honestly, it was hard to fill the time now that she wasn't actively going to school, tennis practice, violin practice...

Oh, she needs to get a Violin! She's not gonna find one of those in the dollar store, though. Actually, she does find a tiny toy violin, and chuckles as she looks at the cute thing wrapped in plastic.

She's right, you can never have enough cheap books.

Meanwhile Frisk's been poking around long enough to find a small pile of weird junk. Mainly a few toy bears, a lot of silly string cans, and one of those cheap plastic kazoos. They would try it, but the owner probably wouldn't be too happy about it.

But Frisk soon spots Connie and--

"That's cute."

It really is a cute violin.

"It is! I was imagining trying to tune it, which would probably require tweezers or something," she said, blushing slightly. "If it was actually a fully functional miniature violin, that is."

She can tell its not though, it seems to be one piece of molded plastic. Even if it was fully functional, the acoustics would be way off.

"Maybe a mouse can play it."

They're only slightly kidding. Frisk has met a lot of Determined mice before coming here. But Connie is also right. It's probably just plastic. Still, it's neat to imagine.

"Where you looking for something?"

"Nothing in particular, I don't think..." she admitted. "Just looking around. I haven't been in a city as big as this, before."

"I haven't either." It was a lot smaller, on the Surface. Although it honestly felt bigger, sometimes.

"I found some silly string." A few cans, actually.

"My parents didn't let me have silly string. They said it was only used by future criminals and Jackson Pollock."

She eyed the can enviously. "What do you do with it?"

"I don't think I'm either."

Well technically. It didn't happen, although Frisk is not allowed to forget that.

"Spray stuff with it. It's...um, silly. I guess."

Their vocabulary is limited and it's probably more fun then they're explaining.

"They are prone to absolutisms," she admitted. "Can I?"

She reached for one of the cans.

"Sure."

They'll hand over one of the cans, curious about what she's going to do.

She has no idea what she's going to do. Obviously, she can't fire silly string inside of a store. That's vandalism.

She does uncap it to examine the firing device, however. It looks like a spray can!

"What were you going to do with it?"

Yeah, that's probably not that nice. And you can't start combat in a shop anyway, even if it is just silly string.

"Probably spray it at things. It's good for pranks, I think."

"Or war," she says, her face taking on a mischievous bent. "Guerilla warfare! Of a harmless kind. Like Monkey Warfare!"

Some gears are turning in her head. "This is a special mission. We need to determine a list of targets."

And Frisk can see those gears turning. But they're not one to turn down a good 'special mission'. So they simply grin.

"Monkey Warfare sounds like fun. Um...a list of targets..."

They need a minute to think of some, due to being new.
