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. |

"Doesn't that just make me look like a crazy person!?"
Do all these people think she's talking to herself? Is that what it looks like to them?
no subject
"I don't think so?"
This is obviously important to Rita so time to reassure her that no, she's not crazy, she doesn't look crazy, this is a perfectly normal thing that someone might do. "Plenty of people, of thoughts, faces pass by and people forget."
no subject
"Can't you just... be visible, instead?" she asks, waving a hand in a vague gesture.
no subject
There's a pause of a few seconds, before Cole looks down at his feet. "They can see me now," he grumbles. And indeed, people are looking at Cole as they pass by...but they're looking at him a bit confused. He's still wearing his big dumb hat and kind of looks like a homeless person got dressed.
no subject
But a few looks later, and Rita asks him, "You don't like being seen?" It's sort of a rhetorical question, given his demeanor, but she finds herself wondering if this kind of thing usually happens.
no subject
In comparison to half of the carnival, Cole doesn't really want to be remembered. He's compassion, it's best if he just slips in, helps people with their hurts and helps them move on, and leaves so they don't remember him. A voice in their ear or a thought in the back of their mind. Not something or someone they can talk about later.
no subject
Being seen and remembered by people is, well... normal. Most people don't get a choice about that, and even if they did, Rita can't imagine choosing to be unseen and unknown to people.
no subject
They'd panic. People would panic, they'd ask questions, they'd bother Cole, they'd do so many things that prevented him from helping or stopped him from healing. That's what's wrong with them remembering, because Cole's kind of creepy.
no subject
Right, Lavellan told her about demons... Now Rita actually has some context for some of Cole's blathering. She also knows that telling him to maybe stop trying to help people who didn't ask for it might be futile. But maybe...
"Can't you... I don't know, try a different approach? Instead of sneaking up on people and whispering weird stuff at them?"
no subject
The words, the sentiment, that's what matters. Cole wants to try to help, not get people worrying or confused about where the heck this weird guy came from or what he's doing or how he knows things. It would freak people out but, at least in Cole's mind, being unseen helps negate that fact.
As such, Rita's suggestion of a different approach isn't really a good idea (at least, not to Cole.) He shakes his head. "What other way would there be?"
