⇨ 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.

After CY-Ren's performance and being informed about Nightshade and her... berry magic(?), 9S will be attempting to use the special magic heat vision lens that the RM gave him to look for concentrations of magic that would, theoretically, potentially lead him to Nightshade/magic berries, CY-Ren, or one of the Carnival members (including unkidnapped members, which would not be something he wants but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

Would he find any traces of Nightshade/CY-Ren/kidnapped Carnival members or where they've been? Or is Wismuth too magic that it would be akin to using heat vision goggles to look at a forest fire?

He would be looking immediately after the fight CY-Ren had with Noa once him and Rita are away from the stage initially, but will attempt again later if he fails to find some kind of trail to follow on that initial attempt.

Well, one of the penthouses downtown is basically nuclear with magical energies. It's the same one that Sans has been stalking, and is allegedly CY-Ren's house.

Magic doesn't leave "trails" that the lens can pick up - mostly he'll only be able to see magic that is currently present. He might see Nightshade vanish from the crowd, however - so a high concentration of magic on a person what will suddenly vanish away.

Gotcha.

In the same vein, does that mean when the Harbingers start leaving the Penthouse, they would show up as large concentrations as magic while they're out and about?

[ringleaders]

They'd be pretty notable if he's looking at them, yeah.
