⇨ 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.

"Maybe..."

She still really doesn't sound like she wants to, though. She's scared. For a lot of reasons.

"I'm sorry for dumping all of this on you," she murmurs, dropping her arms down and resting her chin on Amethyst's shoulder.

[drrdrrdrr]

"Naw," says Amethyst, tucking Peridot under her chin. "We're in a dumpster, ya might as well dump some stuff."

[periphrasing]

At this point Peridot gives up completely and just. Grunts? And awkwardly shifts so that she's in the other gem's lap with her legs draped past her waist. It's almost like she is trying to disappear into Amethyst's mass, because existence is too much of a drain right now.

After a long pause, she groans despondently into Amethyst's gem, the sound muffled:

"D'you wanna make out for a while?"

[drrdrrdrr]

Amethyst considers this for a moment.

"Yeah," she says decisively. "Actually I gotta kiss up on you extra to make up for how long I was gone for, 'cause I totally figured Lapis would be taking care of that but I guess not, huh?" She sucks her teeth in exaggerated disapproval. "Guess it's on me to get your smooch tank all topped up."

[periphrasing]

Peridot lifts her head a little ways up off of Amethyst's boobs, blinking. Then snickers softly. Somehow, it's an incredibly warm and fond sound, while at the same time being absolutely repugnant and nasally.

She sweeps her long tail around and coils it around Amethyst's own, giving it a light squeeze.

Better get comfy. They're probably going to be here for quite some time.
