⇨ 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.

[Steering huh.... ....] ....Okay. [Well, fine then. Also it'd be interesting for her face to bleed, since chunks of it are rocks. That said.]

...It doesn't seem really easy to turn-I think skates work better. [Girl after his own he- NOW DON'T YOU SLIP OUT OF THIS KIDDO]

[hippocarnival]

Probably? But if you want skates, I think we'd have to by you some. [The rental shack didn't have any skates, and Yuya's are definitely too big for her.

Still, he goes to retrieve her skateboard from across the pool before they lose track of it.] Anyway, this is your first time on a skateboard, so you're still learning!

[soft_focus]

[Ew. Immediately she grimaces.] .....I don't want to make people buy things...

[So apparently, it's back on the board.] Mnnh... [Well, time to...learn to steer?

There is a blank and rather expectant look to Yuuya.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya spent too much of his allowance to afford her skates, anyway.]

I'll show you first. [He sets the skateboard on the ground and steps on it. His skates make it kind of difficult with how bulky they are, but he manages to find his balance well enough.][He kicks off the ground to start rolling, then tips backwards slightly to show her... very slightly, making one very wide and very slow turn.]

[soft_focus]

[Well, she'll watch then. Reira's head tilts a bit to the side as she observes the other's actions, moving along with the motion of the tipping. ...So...the board...]

...So...it's not as stuck on the wheels as it looks..?

[How else could you tilt the thing without it just deciding to Stop.]

[hippocarnival]

Nope! [That's not something Yuya thought about, but he also mostly has cursory understanding of skateboards anyway. Yuya makes a fourth of a circle before he gets off the board and carries it back to Reira.] Here, you try.

[soft_focus]

Mnnhhh... [Hooboy. Well, she'll start trying that...leany balance thing then. She doesn't do too bad, aside from the part where the circles are QUITE tight, given she's leaning....maybe a bit too far. She's copying Yuuya a touch Too well, after all.]
