⇨ SPACE OLYMPICS
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 30 - Day 44
Where: The carnival, Zargon, and Olympic Spaceship
What: Things return back to normal as the carnival performs for aliens of all sorts at the Space Olympics. Or at least, as normal as it can be when you've got an underfunded and falling-apart spaceship hovering over a deadly planet.
Warnings: Sports and people's inability to do them.

REACH FOR THE STARS↴ At first glance, the Space Olympics seem marvelous. Aliens from all over the universe, of all shapes and sizes have joined together in an intergalactic display of teamwork and sportmanship. What could be more inspiring than that? It's only when you hang around for a bit that you notice things aren't exactly in tip-top shape. ► OLYMPIC SPACESHIP: This is where most of the events are held. It's a massive spaceship spanning hundreds of miles and consisting of multiple floors. Teleportation discs and space public transport can take you anywhere on the spaceship in a blink of an eye. It has almost every amenity an athlete can think of: multiple gyms, practice arenas, saunas, etc. Likewise, there are plenty of things for civilians and spectators: merchandise stands, shopping malls, grocery stores, and television screens everywhere so people can watch the event. Shuttles to and from Zargon arrive on a regular basis. ► ZARGON: Facility wise, Zargon itself is less impressive than Olympic Spaceship. The carnival and the athlete's village comprise most of the habitable areas. Both are concealed underneath a large biodome, the main thing making the area livable. Enterprising Zargonites have set up stands that let people explore outside of the biodome. Rent a spacesuit and you too can enjoy Zargon's natural wonders, such as the distant red plateaus and the stunning solar winds. Just try and stay away from the toxic mold, naturally occurring pockets of hallucinogenic gas, and ten foot tall Zargon Death Flytrap. ► 1980s TRAINING MONTAGE: Since carnival members can only attempt to medal in one event, why not try different sports to see what that one event is? There's equipment for all sorts of sports: gymnastics, swimming, biathalon, snowboarding, etc. They've even somehow brought space horses up here for Space Dressage! There's also equipment for sports that carnival members might not have even known existed: Space Gymkata, Space Pooh Sticks, Space Limbo Skating, etc. The sky's the limit! ► A BIT OF A BUDGET SNAFU: The Space Olympics is kind of falling apart. After performance week, the carnival is drafted to help out and keep the Space Olympics running as smoothly as possible. This means fixing buildings, breaking up fights, helping in the kitchen, trying to sell merch, etc. If there's a feasible problem, the carnival members will be drafted to help fix it. The biggest problem of all is the multiple mechanical failures: artificial gravity stops working, temperatures on the ship rapidly shift from hot to cold, and the snow machines for Space Slopestyle won't turn off. ► PERFORMANCE: Performance week will start early this stop, to try and get everyone back into the swing of things after the chaos of Wismuth. Athletes from the village roam the carnival, taking in the sights and sounds. A lot of them haven't ever seen anything like the magic of the carnival and it's workers and will proceed to ask question after question about how all of this works: turns out that sci-fi and fantasy don't crossover as much as one would think. Still, don't be alarmed when you turn the corner and there's a Hutt trying his hand at test your strength. |

This is probably how he runs into Shura--holding himself in a posture that makes him look remarkably like a fluffy pink fainting chaise as he rolls on by, not recognizing her through the alien disguise.
no subject
So it's a couch, but more importantly, it's a relief. The way it's moving--it's probably some kind of nice transporter, right?? So excuse her if she just makes her way over to it, stumbling over herself a few times, but finally just sort of throwing herself at it once she reaches it. It's so fluffy and soft!! Shura can't help but nuzzle the pink fluff as she tries to throw a leg over it and make herself comfortable.
"Nyaaa, this is nice~ Just what I needed!" No, she needs water, but whatever. Also, she needs to not be making herself comfortable on one of her students, but that's beside the point.
no subject
"Gya--! Um..." The couch definitely yelps and turns toward her, looking surprised. "...Shura.. san?" And that's definitely Shima's voice again! And addressing her pretty familiarly too. But to be fair, she is cuddling him pretty good. It's very misleading.
1/3
no subject
Oh shit--
no subject
She thinks she might puke.
Her instinct is to remove herself immediately, and she does so by violently throwing herself off of him, landing on the floor with a hard thud. Crap, just what had she done?
"You!!"
She may very well die of humiliation. Getting trampled by a space rhino would have been better.
no subject
Unfortunately for Shura, Shima is absolutely not above laughing at her when he realizes what happened. He's suppressing the outright guffawing, but only barely. To be honest though, he's needed a good laugh. This whole place has him extremely stressed out.
no subject
"Oi, quit yer gigglin'!"
She may die of humiliation, but she'd take Shima out with her.
no subject
He means that to be placating.. maybe. but it mostly just comes across as insincere. because he's still kind of laughing a little. He scoots just out of her range in case she really tries to throttle him though, before he takes a better look at her. She definitely is cuter as a human, so at least surprise drunken nuzzling wasn't as exciting as it could have been.
"Um, was the space booze stronger than expected or something?"
no subject
That's absolutely insincere, especially for the above reason. Of course, she'd be laughing her ass off without a single shred of remorse or shame if the situation was reversed, but that's different. Completely different.
"Whatchu askin' for?? They said it was free, then they dragged me out to some dumb obstacle course! Uggh, it was such a pain."
no subject
"Do ya need a.." he pauses and winces from remembering he has Too Many hands, but waves a few of his limbs illustratively anyway a moment after. "..Ya heading back to the Carnival?"
no subject
Doesn't mean she won't glower at him for a moment when he waves his little... feet at her, but that's only for a moment. Really, just what was he doing with that little scooter?
"Yeah. You remember the way?"
Guess who doesn't?
no subject
That's his complaint apparently. Though he drops the whining quickly enough in favor of schmoozing a little.
"I can show ya, no problem! You can lean on me if ya want ♥"
Shameless.
no subject
"I'll walk on my own. Do I look tha' bad? Sheesh." You kids!! She's just fine, fumbling around like this. But yes, lead the way, Shima. She'll follow.
no subject
He might be implying she really does look like she needs some help, but it's hard to tell with his tone sometimes. At least he doesn't push it farther though, just scooting himself along toward the transport area, so they can find a teleporter back down to the planet, the scooters he's using making distracting rattling noises as they roll along. He tries not to get too far ahead but mostly that just means he has to double back a lot.
no subject
"So noisy!" So rather than trying to be nice or appreciative, Shura's just going to complain. Just what was he doing, anyway? Was there something wrong with his feet? Well, there was one way to find out. Taking a few clumsy steps toward him, she grabs a handful of his caterpillar fluff to support herself as she leans over to try and get a better look at the scooters.
"Whaddya doin' like this, anyway?" This is going to end up with her crashing headfirst on the ground in a moment.
she completely deserves it
