⇨ 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.

Comments

Even though Tyki is essentially praising his own kind, 9S can't help but feel a glimmer of pride on behalf of his creators. Yes, humans were always expanding. First, over Earth. Then, out into space. Even if it was cut short by WCS and the alien invasion.

Maybe they would be able to start growing again when they return to their homes.

"Awww, come on, Tyki!" 9S whines, hunching over the steering wheel. "If the talk is about me, shouldn't I get to hear it?"

[prazerbutterfly]

No matter how much 9S begs he can't really tell him anything vital. It was mostly observation and he'll laugh a little louder this time at him and with him at the same time, "I was bluffing but now that I know you are destructive, maybe I shouldn't tease so much. You are the one driving!"

It doesn't stop him from enjoying the air as he fiddles with the buttons on the side of the car until the window ends up coming down on its own. Oh, the feels nice and he'll chuckle gently, "You're too easy but that is one of your finer qualities."

[dressedtothe]

Argh! He can't believe he got had!

9S huffs. Maybe he should make Tyki's window go up and make it get stuck that way!

And... Is that comment supposed to be a compliment? 9S would squint at Tyki suspiciously, but that would involve taking his eyes off the road. But he does send him a dubious glance. "Why do you mean by 'too easy'?"

[prazerbutterfly]

He may have accidentally fiddled the window down so the effect would be lost if it went back up. He'd just figure he broke something like a couple of other cars he'll do later.

It is and a little mocking. Still, it's a compliment and one he'll keep consistent. "You're too easy to tease but that isn't anything bad. It just makes you more fun than you already are~" And it'll keep Tyki around because he can.
