⇨ 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. |

Marishi's mouth is promptly covered by Gongenzaka's palm, as he answers properly.
"A dojo is a form of school-it is a house of training, and practice, and in my own case, I, the man Gongenzaka, hail from a family who has maintained such a building for generations. The 'Gongenzaka Steadfast Dojo'; as such, there are a number of teachings with which I consider myself bound to, both as a student, and as its heir."
"Of course, back then, we perhaps interpreted some of the more 'loose' teachings rather rigidly..."
"A...Aaah... such is true..."
no subject
"Sooo, what were you training and practising? What are some of these teachings?" His tail sways from side to side as he grins. "Can I learn them?"
i'm weirdly excited, about this
"Hmm...when it comes to the dueling aspect, that could be difficult-that would require a deck after all..." Not to mention interest and knowledge of the game, but-
Gongenzaka crosses his arms. "...When it comes to the moral teachings, and perhaps some matters of protection, and self defense..." He trails off, before nodding. "...The Steadfast Dojo is one which encourages the protection of the weak-the use of strength to aid those without it, a care and respect for those other than yourself-if indeed, you would like to try to learn some of the teachings, then..." Well...he seems a little unsure, but Marishi at least is quite for it.
"Well, I certainly can't see why we wouldn't at least try~! We are to teach one day as it is, so why shouldn't we agree if one asks?"
:3c
"Yeah!" 9S pumps a fist. "Teach me!"
Why not? After all, he'd originally come to the Carnival to learn all about humans and their culture.
oh boy we'll see how long this lasts...
His daemon nods, agreeing. "We will have to make a few adjustments, after all-and it has been some time since we helped with an 'introductory' lesson...but we could certainly call to give it a shot once we're away from this location I imagine."
The statement seems to jolt Gongenzaka's memory on something, and he chokes. "A-Auh...indeed, at the moment we are still quite busy with security after all..." Darn Aliens-
no subject
He has plenty of time, after all...
Though if Gongenzaka is taking Security seriously, no harm in giving him a heads up. "Oh, but if you're keeping an eye out for trouble..." though really, all aliens are trouble, "let me know if you see anyone that, uh..."
Oh man. He had no trouble saying it to Syrlya, but is it rude if he says it to a human? Only one way to find out...
"...looks like human male genitals with tentacles."
no subject
He is indeed taking it quite seriously however, and so the two give proper amount of pause to listen to 9S' warning. Though...when it comes, they're not really sure they heard it right.
Marishi, being the less polite, is the one blinking rapidly and stuck with her mouth slightly agape before the words can come. "...An alien that resembles...genitals??"
Ah. Gongenzaka coughs. "Th- I... I, the man Gongenzaka, presume you are particularly familiar with this particular species of alien, then..?"
no subject
9S nods in confirmation. "They're our enemy. If they're around, they're going to be a real pain for the Carnival. Especially if they bring their machines with them."
no subject
Namely this. "Aah, in that case, we shall commit the warning to memory..! You have our thanks; we shall not be caught unawares!"
not by peen-aliens anyway
