⇨ 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.

[Yuya nods.] It sounds pretty cool, right? [He points off in some vague distance, completely non-descript between all the buildings.] It's further into the city, but it's not hard to get to at all!

I guess so...? [She has no idea what skate parks are so,]

...What do you do in it? [She asks, standing up and moving to get her helmet from around the tree.

Hell yes she's 'driving' there, you can keep up to her piddly speed anyway-

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-22 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Skate around in it? [Yuya shrugs unhelpfully, waiting for Reira to gather her helmet.] I've never been to one before, so it's a new experience for me too!

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-23 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
...What if you don't have skates though?
hippocarnival: (✮ 013 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-23 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Eh... maybe there's a place to rent them? [He's never been to a skate park before, he doesn't know!] I haven't actually been there yet, I just saw it in one of those tourist pamphlets they have.

[He pulls said pamphlet out of his back pocket to show her, now horribly crumpled and creased. It mostly talks about the main city attractions plus the parks, including this one and the skate park. Not in much detail, however.]
soft_focus: (oAo)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-24 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Umnnn... [Well, it's as good a shot as any, in that case.] ...Okay! We can go then!

[He was going to go regardless, Reira!!]

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-24 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuya smiles, amused with a quick glance around to spot her bike. He kicks his feet out to turn on the wheels, using the tree to balance himself.]

Are you getting the hang of your bike?
soft_focus: (Extra27)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-24 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Umn...a little..! [She admits, nodding.] ...Yuugo made it go slow... ...but I don't think I want to ask for it to move faster yet, [She adds, slowly getting onto the bike.] ...it's sort of scary...

[How do people go top speed on these things that's terrifying, Yuuya-]

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-24 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You should wait until you you're more comfortable on it before you worry about going any faster, anyway. It looks fast enough as it is!

[There's a reason Yuya kept his on automatic mode so he couldn't accidentally throw himself off. With Reira on the bike, Yuya starts to skate back towards the street, mentally recalculating the way he needs to go to find the skate park. He does keep an eye on Reira to make sure she's not falling over, but with enough distance that they don't risk running into each other and causing that exact problem.]
soft_focus: (............no? D:)

lmao shit ive been typoing the whole time it's supposed to be 20 miles...

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-25 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, well. She's still slow enough to stick to bike lanes and occasionally, with focus, a side-walk, so it's F I N E. And she's not falling over, as much as she's not exactly sitting up top either. She's too slow for that, so it's more a koala-on-a-tree deal for now.

They'll...probably be fine..?
] Umnh... ....I just don't know how long it'll take to get that fast...
hippocarnival: (✮ 055 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-25 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuya's more comfortable on his skates, rolling on the sidewalk next to her.]

That kind of depends on the person, I think. And how hard you practice. Yugo's been driving D-Wheels for a while, but if you keep it up you can do the same thing when you're older!

[Keyword: when she's older, because even if she is a smart kid her tiny body is not big enough for the controls of a motorcycle.] Are you having fun with it?
soft_focus: (Extra32)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-26 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnhhh... [She....stares at Yuuya for a moment, and then back to the bike. Not enough for the controls, you say?

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE'S RIDING YUUYA.
] ......I guess so...it makes going to places really easy, but...

[But what you said is bugging her, a touch, now.]

.................Yuugo said this was like a D-Wheel, just without the duel disk part.... [In other words, what do you mean The Same Thing, she's practically doing that Anyway.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 001 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-26 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuya waves his hands, gesturing.] I mean faster, with a bigger bike. But you don't need to worry about that right now!

[Yuya points to the left.] We turn here, I think. It's supposed to be a few blocks down this street.
soft_focus: (extra 01)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-26 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Umnh....it wouldn't be bigger, I guess... [That would REALLY be scary, honestly, and she sort of wonders what would've happened if she HAD dueled in Synchro now.]

...But Yuugo said that whenever I'm ready, he'll let it go a little faster, until it goes as fast as the other bikes...

[it's good that she knew yuugo before yuuya Had A Talk With Him-]

Ah- [Well, Reira turns, nodding-her Dust trail just slightly visible under the glamor as she moves. Not much longer then...]
hippocarnival: (✮ 073 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-26 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't need to go as fast as those. It's probably not even legal!

[As if legality matters when you're part of an interdimensional fairy carnival, but like he's letting Reira zoom around on a bike trying to navigate the rules and signs of the actual road. She's seven.

He circles the corner, looking at the pamphlet again to remember which street to stop at for the skate park.]
soft_focus: (Extra27)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-27 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
....It's not?

[SHE'S FROM LAWLESS LANDS YUUYA]
hippocarnival: (✮ 112 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-27 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's definitely not. [Well, he sounds confident and authoritative anyway. It sure wouldn't be legal in Maiami!!

Luckily they're just at the skate park, which looks about what you'd expect from a skate park--swooping concrete covered in graffiti. Most of the people there seem to be Yuya's age, or a little older, zooming and flipping around on skateboards and rollerblades.

Yuya looks around the entrance, then points to a bike rack.]
You can park your bike there, I think?
soft_focus: (Extra32)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-29 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh... [She'll take his word for it, for now, and then ask Reiji if they can Change The Law. Yes.

Anyway. She looks at the bike rack, before promptly shoving it awkwardly Beside the rack. This thing is way too wide to just fit into the bars of one of those sorts of things... ...Her helmet, meanwhile, ends up strung on her ba- Wait is that her soul jar under her hair there???

Well whatever.
] ...........Everyone's your size... [She immediately mutters, once she looks out at the park.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 096 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-29 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Good luck with that kiddo.

Yuya gives the park patrons a once over when she mentions it.]
Oh, yeah. Don't worry, though, I'll be right here!

[He puts a gentle hand on her shoulder and smiles before nudging her into the park. He looks around for... something that looks like rental equipment.

There is a slightly run down and heavily vandalized shack on the other end of the park. Maybe that?]
soft_focus: (Extra32)

dont worry yuuya i thought it was a cute concern,,

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-29 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Further Incentive to just chill with fae forever, apparently.

She looks at Yuuya as if he grew another head, however. (Possibly Zarc's) Sir.
] ........................

[SIR-]

................why would they have things for smaller than all the people here, Yuuya............. [The true concern is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than your assumption that she, having nothing but teens surrounding her at home, is afraid of teens-]
hippocarnival: (✮ 086 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-30 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Reira don't act like you weren't cagey around, like, everyone only a few months ago.]

Just because there's no one here right now that's your size doesn't mean there never is! I don't think skateboards change size like skates do, anyway.

[At least not for age, although he also is equally unaware of the various types of boards out there.

It's just as well, though, because the rental shack really does have only skateboards. People with rollerblades have to bring their own. Yuya's already fishing for the money in his pocket, pointing to the regular-sized boards.]
I'm sure you'd be fine on one of those.
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-01-31 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[TIMESCHANGE DON'T JUDGE!!!!]

Mmmnh... [She still looks rather unsure. Interested, but...unsure, and she finds herself gently slipping her helmet back on and into place.] ...I didn't use the boards on the moon, [she mumbles, seeing the similarity between these and the snowboards.] ...Is this going to be hard...
hippocarnival: (✮ 014 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-31 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll show you how to move around on it. Just don't do any special tricks while you're getting used to it, okay?

[He pats her head as he places the money on the counter, requesting one of the regular skateboards. The bored looking emloyee pulls down a pink and white one, setting it on the counter.]

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-01 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
.......Tricks?

[Why tricks. What would the point of tricks even be. She doesn't know, but she'll carefully take the board, holding it. And then putting it on the ground...and staring at everyone on the course. Maybe she can, uh. Copy for this. Yeah...th...that can't go wrong right?

It always goes wrong when wheels are involved.

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-01 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tricks, like those flips off the edge of the empty pool that those teenagers are doing.

... maybe don't mimic them completely. Yuya is right behind her, hands outstretched and ready to help as needed.]
Okay, go ahead and put one foot on the board. You're going to push with your other foot to start moving.
