[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.

She pauses at the hop, and simply shakes her head and follows him, although there's an amused smile flirting across her face. He's friendly enough, and right now she could use something friendly and not a reminder of, well. Literally everything else in her life. "I've seen some that would require magic to be considered a costume in the first place, but I see your point."

Although-- that last bit. She frowns, pausing in her walk to look at him more. "Most of the time?"

"Ah, yeah, yeah." At least Joker doesn't sound too concerned by it, checking a street sign as he passes it by just to get his bearings. Ever since then, after all, they've had much worse things to deal with. And anyway...

"It's only been the one time in three years, ta my recollection, so at least that doesn't happen often, and the folks who were actually visitin' for fun didn't question much... But there were these things that I guess were in control, and they realized we didn't really 'belong' ta the place. Got pretty aggressive immediately, I have ta say, and we weren't even doin' much."

...As much as maybe a few of them might have been trying to.

Joker shrugs after the explanation. "Of course, we were also cursed at the time, which probably didn't help."
