⇨ 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.

[No matter how squirmy or insisting the man is, Gongenzaka is far more STEADFAST in his own matters. He nods, and with crossed arms, simply continues to level down a stare.] Indeed-it is the duty of a member of the Patrol, to remain with those who could potentially create trouble until someone else is near to take responsibility...

...To back away from this duty...Would be UNFORGIVABLE..! [dont move buddy]

[pipers_son]

When, uh- [The man looks around nervously.] When will someone else come...?

[Joker's grin says he's enjoying this too much.] Well, it's a pretty busy day, right~?

[betheman]

Aaauh, that it is. I, the man Gongenzaka, am presently the only one patrolling this particular area as it is....

[Which means, good sir, that you are Quite Stuck here.]

[pipers_son]

[Oh. Boy. What a delight. The way his skin is pale (beyond the drunken flush) and his shoulders are hunched up in tension means he's delighted, right?]

[Joker can't stop grinning the whole time.]

[Eventually, in extremely awkward silence, a woman with her hair pulled back emerges from the crowd exiting the tent, fingers digging into her bag. Her lips are twisted, either in aggravation or concern. It's hard to tell, so far.]

I'm sorry- he did't cause anymore trouble, did he?

[betheman]

[Gongenzaka will rather calmly answer for the situation, turning to the woman to shake his head.] Worry not, miss. He has caused no further issue! I, the man Gongenzaka, have merely been keeping an eye upon him until you could be reunited!

[gon have you been told you sound old, today

consider yourself Told]

[pipers_son]

[He definitely sounds old, and yet his appearance is so huge that the woman needs a moment to process if this is right or not. In the time she takes for this, however, Joker cheerfully takes their new drunk friend by the shoulder and shoves him forward.]

And now he's all yers, miss~!

[Getting a hold of herself, the woman eyes the man before turning away sharply.] I don't want him.

[And with that, she walks away, the man following her with apologies and stumbling. Joker starts to laugh into his hand, not even waiting until the drunk is far enough.]

We should have a Cinder trip him on the way out.

[betheman]

HMM! [Ahhh, well, there they go, it seems. Gongenzaka shakes his head, and then raises a brow to Joker.] The less opportunity for them to damage property, the better-I, the man Gongenzaka, do not wish to work with them.

[c o l d]

[pipers_son]

[Another whoop of laughter from Joker, and he ducks his head to get it out of his system, hand over his mouth. One of his wings extends, brushing against Gongenzaka like a pat to the arm.]

good point! Ah- [Straightening up, he inclines his head to him.] Thanks for showin' up so quickly. I coulda handled it, but I'm not as intimidatin', now, am I?

[At least not in the way a very tall and clawed teenager is.]

[betheman]

Auh! [He immediately shakes his head, waving a hand.] Please..! It is merely my job, after all..! And...

[....] M-More to the point, it is not your duty to be intimidating, but rather welcoming, is it not..!?

[pipers_son]

My duty is ta be behind the scenes, if we're bein' perfectly honest. Bridesmaid and never the bride~.

[Another laugh.] I just happened ta see things because I was goin' through the crowds. No better way ta see how the show is goin', right?

[betheman]

Bridesmaid and never... [He has to repeat that under his breath to actually grasp it-it's not really a common saying where he's from! As it is.]

Hmm! You would be correct, however-the view from the crowds is the greatest view from which to determine how the crowd will see the show, after all..!

[pipers_son]

And how the crowd is reactin' ta the show. Which leads ta situations like this, I suppose.

[Escorting a drunk guy out.]

How's the rest of the carnival lookin', then?

[betheman]

Hmmm, indeed...

...Well, [he adds, looking about the idling crowds,] Thus far, it is rather peaceful for the most part. There are a few of those who have had too much to drink perhaps, or are a little careless with equipment...however, they do not create too significant a fuss when cornered, fortunately.

[pipers_son]

Good ta hear.

[Looking out to the crowds as well, Joker lets out a long breath.]

Then it looks like we might have a peaceful stop again huh...?

THIS FEELS LIKE...THE PERFECT SPOT TO FADE OUT OVER A TAG OR SO...

[betheman]

Ahhh...indeed, it would appear we may...

[They Fucking JINXED IT]
