⇨ 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.

....It's not?

[SHE'S FROM LAWLESS LANDS YUUYA]

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?

[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.]

[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-]

[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.

[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...

[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.]

.......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.

[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.
soft_focus: (-glugglug-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-03 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[But how will she ever learn if she never copies!! ...Well anyway. There is a loud 'clunk' as the board hits the ground, and she rather stiffly sets one foot on it, taking in his words. One on, one down? Got it.

She pushes, and then proceeds to quickly get that foot on the board as well, otherwise standing rather stiffly while it coasts across the flat ground.

wwwwwheeeeeee

You got it! Just keep doing that to keep going. [Yuya walks just behind the skateboard like her personal cheer squad. She's not going too fast, at least.

Going in a straight line, however, is going to take her to the empty pool pretty quickly. Hm.]
Uh--you can stop the same way!

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnnh.... [Hey guess what. She's Not Going To Stop. Actually, she just sort of holds her arms out, like she's ready for life to just take her now!

Nyoom.

Down she goes.

[Skateboards, as it turns out, aren't designed to smoothly fold over 90 degree angles. That's why experienced riders have to rock the board over, from back to front, to make a clean landing.

Thusly, Reira is very likely going to eat pavement very soon. And that's exactly why Yuya goes from casual to Concerned Mom and lunges forward with his arms outstretched to try and grab her before she can teeter over the edge.]
Reira!

[THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK YUUYA.

...Well ok it's exactly what's Almost going to happen. Just before she hits the edge, there's a loud 'GLRK', as Yuuya grabs her sweater.
] KGUH-

[NICE GOING YUUYA you saved her from road rash but also you've given her throat a nice blow from the sweater neck. What was that about!!
She Totally Had That. (not)

[Yuya lets out a sigh of relief, carefully setting her steady on her feet. The commotion's enough to cause some of the other teenagers to stop and watch.] Careful! If you want to skate over here, let's start at the bottom.

[Where the skateboard has rolled all the way across, feet away. Yuya releases Reira before sliding down into the pool--it's about six feet deep, so once he's down he turns and holds his hands out in case she needs any assistance dropping as well.]
soft_focus: (extra 07)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-08 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnhhh... [Well, that was great. She steadies pretty quick at least, even if it's to. Frown at him.] ....I was just going where the board was going... Other people were going over the sides, right?
hippocarnival: (✮ 073 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-08 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not like that. [Not careening face first over the edge--it's just harder than it looks, and Yuya doesn't want to be responsible for her face bleeding.] How about we work on steering it first? So the board goes where you want it to go.
soft_focus: (Extra27)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-10 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Steering huh.... ....] ....Okay. [Well, fine then. Also it'd be interesting for her face to bleed, since chunks of it are rocks. That said.]

...It doesn't seem really easy to turn-I think skates work better. [Girl after his own he- NOW DON'T YOU SLIP OUT OF THIS KIDDO]
hippocarnival: (✮ 052 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-11 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably? But if you want skates, I think we'd have to by you some. [The rental shack didn't have any skates, and Yuya's are definitely too big for her.

Still, he goes to retrieve her skateboard from across the pool before they lose track of it.]
Anyway, this is your first time on a skateboard, so you're still learning!
soft_focus: (Hair02)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-12 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ew. Immediately she grimaces.] .....I don't want to make people buy things...

[So apparently, it's back on the board.] Mnnh... [Well, time to...learn to steer?

There is a blank and rather expectant look to Yuuya.

[Yuya spent too much of his allowance to afford her skates, anyway.]

I'll show you first. [He sets the skateboard on the ground and steps on it. His skates make it kind of difficult with how bulky they are, but he manages to find his balance well enough.][He kicks off the ground to start rolling, then tips backwards slightly to show her... very slightly, making one very wide and very slow turn.]
soft_focus: (oAo)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-15 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she'll watch then. Reira's head tilts a bit to the side as she observes the other's actions, moving along with the motion of the tipping. ...So...the board...]

...So...it's not as stuck on the wheels as it looks..?

[How else could you tilt the thing without it just deciding to Stop.]
hippocarnival: (✮ 062 ✮)

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-02-17 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! [That's not something Yuya thought about, but he also mostly has cursory understanding of skateboards anyway. Yuya makes a fourth of a circle before he gets off the board and carries it back to Reira.] Here, you try.
soft_focus: (Trap activate-!)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-02-22 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnhhh... [Hooboy. Well, she'll start trying that...leany balance thing then. She doesn't do too bad, aside from the part where the circles are QUITE tight, given she's leaning....maybe a bit too far. She's copying Yuuya a touch Too well, after all.]
