⇨ 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.

[... SLOWLY CUE INTERNAL SCREAMING]

[ Time for a big ol' shrug, which helps explain nothing whatsoever. ]

Not a clue, I'm afraid. There's not always an obvious reason for what the carnival changes people into.

[just wait. hold on. wait a sec!! A whole bunch of really awful things are occurring to him all at once here! He has to answer to a bug-guy for his other job?! People can just CHANGE into BUGS????? FOR NO REASON??? Why did he not realize this sooner?!

Just. just stops suddenly on the path and crouches down, putting his face in his hands and making a distressed keening noise under his breath.]


Oooh my god, why is it bees??

[ Well, if Childermass were anyone else, this might be a little distressing. As it is, he just... stops and turns to look down at Shima. Quirks an eyebrow at him. ]

What was that, Mr. Shima? Speak up.

[ He didn't quite hear you there. ]

No uh. nothing. nevermind. That's good ta know! Not looking forward to it, but good ta know...

[Scrubs his hands through his hair a few times roughly to shake himself out of it and stands again, smile mostly back in place! It's fine! He'll just worry about all that later.]

Ya said something about assigned partners?

[ Childermass looks unconvinced but he also won't pry. Something to do with bees, he has to guess, considering he'd only mentioned the Foreman. Either that or not being allowed to shirk his other duties. Hm... No matter, as he just shrugs and pauses, looking up briefly as he thinks.

Assigned partners, but assigned to who?
]

For your sake, yes, something like that. [ His attention drops down from the sky, back to Shima. ] But it's something I'll have to think on. I will let you know once I've reached a decision.

[ Two of them could potentially get Shima in trouble for fun, the other is literally a ghost, so. ]
