⇨ 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.

[Shima starts off a little thrown by Victor's offer to feed him and his blitheness about the possibility of him smoking and drinking, and predictably as the list goes on to stuff he isn't allowed to do and chores he's responsible for he starts to wrinkle his nose. But the growing private peevishness peters out as it becomes clear Victor isn't just dictating to him, which is honestly kind of a novel experience.]

We've got curtains..!

[He tugs the little dividing curtain loose of it's holder where it was tucked away, more visible from inside the bunk than outside, and pulls it across the opening of the bed... then sticks his head out from under it.]

Well, not the same as a door I guess. I can't really think of anything--aah, unless you're picky about posters?

( Points to Shima for not just yelling at Victor for talking about any of this! He's so used to being around Yuri he just expects to hear complaints as a matter of processing, though he should know better. He hasn't had to deal with living closer to any other teen for a while now. By the time Shima pokes his head back out, Victor's smiling, fingers pressed to his lips. He hadn't seen or thought to look for any curtains earlier. The discovery is a pleasant, and somewhat self-amused, discovery. )

Not the same as a door, but still better than nothing! Means with that shut I won't worry about a light waking you up. Right? ( Plus a degree of privacy, which is nice all around. He drops his fingers away from where they were resting on his chin to give a brief shake of his head, brow momentarily furrowed. )

About posters? No, not really! Put up whatever posters you feel like.

( He's curious and impressed Shima already has posters, unless it's a future thought. Either way, what's the worst that could get hung up for everyone to see? )

[worldlyafflictions]

Really? Even if it's swimsuit stuff?

[Oh there will be whining and complaining soon enough... but for now it's important to get along! Because if Victor says yes he will go out immediately to find a glowy Wismuth swimsuit magazine to stick all over the trailer. He wasn't allowed to have those up at home or in the dorms, ok.]

( he blinks, then shrugs. sure, why not? it's not Victor's first choice for decoration, but hey, he doesn't really care. his tastes are more prints of beautiful art and random marble busts. )

Sure, if that's what makes you happy.

( he'll be curious to see what kind of swimsuit stuff they end up with, but he can guess. )

[worldlyafflictions]

Victor-saan~!! I think we'll be good roommates after all!

[HE CAN GUESS]

[genice]

( he laughs, shaking his head. )

Try not to make me regret saying yes too much, okay?

( HE CAN VERY MUCH GUESS the only guess he doesn't make is preferences, but he figures he's learning soon enough. )
