⇨ WISMUTH

[ringleaders]

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.

[Rita, a mostly-human girl save for the large feathered wings and long tail, overhears the (clearly stupid) comment as she passes by and rolls her eyes. But when she glances at the sweet in question, she ends up stopping to do a double take. That... actually looks really good.]

What is that?

[worldlyafflictions]

Creamy cheese puffs--wanna try one~?

[He's already aggressively pleased that a girl has stopped to talk to him, it's practically beaming off him.]

[anti_nonsense]

[Seeing him light up, Rita frowns in contrast... but the allure of tasty pastries is too great even for this stick in the mud.]

Sure. Give one here.

[She draws a bit closer and holds out a hand.]

Don't think I've seen you around. You new? [He looks vaguely familiar, yet Rita's pretty sure he wasn't a worker here, last she checked.]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Lets her take one from the bag, still looking very pleased and not at all put off by her reflexive glower.]

Yep! Taking my first look around today! Ya been here a while? [He nods to her wings, apparently not finding them that startling.]

[anti_nonsense]

[Rita catches his look, and her wings shrink back slightly, as if she's self-conscious about them.]

Yeah. A few months.

[Holding the pastry up to her mouth, she sniffs it, then takes a bite. She's quiet as she chews it... then quickly takes another bite. Apparently, she likes it.]
