⇨ 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.

Hahahaaa! You do not have any interest in any other 'trinkets' then? [He's almost touched! Or maybe he is. (He probably is)

Well, wandering continues, in any case.
] Aaah...well, with a price such as that, there seems a strong chance this will be a seeing-only-trip, at least...

I don't think anything here is a better reminder. [Yuya is a sap, not surprising. He shrugs as he weaves through the shelves.] But maybe a souvenir for this place.

[He sucks down more of his drink before it melts too much, thoughtful.] Uh, though I guess I already have a bunch of stuff to take back as it is... It's going to be weird to explain how we were gone for so long.

Hahahahhaaa! Ahh... [Hmm, that is true...but...]

Perhaps....they are 'dimensional souvenirs'? [He offers, winking.]

[Yuya snorts, his gaze is still flicking absently over the shelves. There's an old alarm clock, a pristine silverware set, decades old jewelry...] They'll know they aren't from our dimensions! And I don't want to lie about it, anyway. The reason I joined the carnival is really important.

[It was for the sake of his friends, after all. And he did say he'd bring Yuzu back no matter what, so it isn't really different from why he left Maiami in the first place.]

Is it a lie if you keep that part up to them? [Marishi chuckles-apparently Someone is a bad influence on themselves. But regardless, Gongenzaka sighs.]

Admittedly...this has been a concern for myself, if at the least for Marishi and even Suzu's sakes...

While I suppose I could stand being hidden in this way after all, it is difficult to explain a new pet.

[Yuya looks down at Marishi, considering. The glamour really does hide her, doesn't it? Would anyone even be able to see her when they returned home if she wanted?]

Well, we don't have to explain everything at once. It's not really any harder to believe than anything about the dimensions, right?

[Yeah, they've definitely had a fill of weirdness already--if Yuya can be a world destroying reincarnation, why can't there be a fairy carnival.

He picks up some old magnifying glass on a display with explorer's equipment from centuries past, turning it in his hands. It doesn't catch his attention for long, though, before he looks up and spots something further ahead.

The magnifying glass and, unfortunately, Gongenzaka are quickly abandoned as he nimbly weaves around the shelves and past some hanging rugs, disappearing around the corner.]
betheman: (-WHAT'S YOUR INPUT ON IT-)

Mnhhh...in certain ways, I suppose... [He doesn't seem entirely certain, and while he himself begins to inspect that same explorer's set, Marishi takes the helm of thoughts.]

The other dimensions may have been other dimensions, but they were also very...similar, after all. A world without dueling was difficult enough to conceptualize when we first entered the Carnival...let alone everything else.

[Yuya hears absolutely none of that, having ventured off towards whatever caught his eye before Marishi even started speaking. It's something he doesn't want to worry about right now, anyway. Then he has to think how long he'll be here, and how many months it will be before he'll see his home again...

So he's a couple aisles down, back behind some fluffy boas and thick coats and a magician's hat, digging through a cardboard box full of old posters.]
betheman: (-3- hrmnnnnnn)

annnd ties this off so we can recent things-

[personal profile] betheman 2018-02-06 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course he didn't hear that. Of course not. Both of them will just sigh, and continue looking with their friend then. It....

....Maybe they should stop thinking about this too much, for now. ...There's enough to worry about as it is.
