⇨ 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.

[hurtcomfort]

Yes please.

[ Cole, in comparison, has forgotten all about what he was going to do before he sat down and "helped" Frisk tell jokes. He's up for plenty more. ]

[nevergained]

[Well they've got more up their sleeves so even if this gets more weirder, it's fine.]

Okay. Knock knock.

[hurtcomfort]

Who's there!

[nevergained]

Annie!

[hurtcomfort]

Annie who?

[ Cole looks over to the child that corrected him earlier for approval. That kid simply nods. Good job Cole, this eight year old believes you can tell a joke. ]

[nevergained]

[Well he's learning, even if getting them is still a little ways off. And it's not like Frisk themselves were perfect at it when they first started.]

Annie one you want!

[hurtcomfort]

[ Anyone he wants? Well, he knows what the answer to that is. ]

Then I want it to be you. You told the joke.

[ It'd be confusing otherwise! ]

[nevergained]

[Oh Cole, you are sweet.]

Here I am!

[They throw up their hands.]

[hurtcomfort]

There you are.

[ And Cole smiles a bit as well. He looks up from Frisk to the rest of the carnival...and for the first time in this conversation, realizes 'oh dang, I need to get back to work.' ]

I need to go, [ Cole remarks, as he stands up. But he lingers for a moment, looking at Frisk. ] Can I find you the next time you're telling jokes?

[nevergained]

[Yeah, that hits them too. But Frisk has time for another smile.]

Sure! I'd be happy to tell more with you.

[He's getting the hang of it, they think.]

[hurtcomfort]

I'd like that.

[ Maybe eventually Cole will get the hang of it enough to tell his own jokes.

Maybe. We hope. Probably not. Still, he gives Frisk a little nod before turning to the kids and gives them a little nod as well. ]

Thank you. [ And, Cole starts to head off, walking back to the game booth he runs. ]
