⇨ THE ATHENAEUM

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 47 - Day 58 ish
Where: The Athenaeum
What: The carnival arrives at book world. First week, they'll be performing for magical manifestations of book characters. Second week, it's time to hunt (for books, in the library.) Around Day 58 some stuff will occur.
Warnings: Reading is mandatory.

FAERIE TALES

Though the carnival will be performing for its guests in the first week, they are welcome to search the Athenaeum while they are off duty during that time. The manifestations of story characters will be out in full force during performance week, with animals, people, objects, and even locations growing out from various tales. Most are distracting at worst, and will be curious to check out the carnival. Some, however, can be as dangerous as they were in their stories of origin. You know what to do.

► IT'S TIME TO ROLEPLAY: The best way to deal with book ghosts is to follow their narrative to its logical conclusion - turn the tables, work the story so it ends in your favour! Naturalistic and narratively satisfying plotting will have the manifestations following your lead. However, push too hard and introduce too many plot holes, inconsistencies, or illogical plot twists, and they will reject your reality utterly, becoming quite aggressive in the process. You can also use your natural abilities and powers to fight them in a traditional sense, but in the Ringmaster's experience, it's best to fight reality benders by bending reality right back at them. If you aren't careful, it's possible to be dragged fully into a story's reality, and then things get really messed up.

► IT'S ALSO TIME TO READ: The carnival came here for a purpose, and that purpose is to research. Specifically, the Ringmaster is looking for information on the Queen's Miracles - the set of ancient fae artifacts that the Blue Rose is one of. The carnival needs these artifacts to defend itself, but nobody knows where they've been for thousands of years. That's what the books are for. However, nothing is stopping you from pursuing knowledge for personal reasons. The halls are open to your perusal, and only your heart can guide you to the book you truly seek. Check the plot post to see what's allowed, and sign up to find plot info or other important game information below.

[The ninja clan raise their weapons, which flash dramatically in the light coming through the thick foliage above.]

Iiiiii don't think they're in the mood to talk...
betheman: (FUCK THAT)

HMM! So they do not...in that case then......Alphys- I, the man Gongenzaka, feel you may wish to climb on...

[He raises one arm- the mechanical one- with one last 'warning' to the ninjas.] This is your final warning, to leave us be..! For I, the man Gongenzaka, shall do all that is necessary to protect the one with me!
textsfromhotland: (don't judge me)

[A way out of this mess? Yes please! Alphys wastes no time scrambling onto his back.]

M-maybe we should just leave...!!
betheman: (i think i broke my face)

[He keeps his voice low with that.]

...I, the man Gongenzaka, am attempting to determine the safest path away, do not fear...

...However, to blindly run, would certainly end poorly...

[His ears and nose are on overdrive right now-how many ninjas are there? Can they even SEE them all?? He prepares his metal arm, and the sound of energy rising can be heard.] Hold tightly, please!

[...Oh boy.]
textsfromhotland: (dooooooom)

[HOLDS TIGHTLY]

R-ready! I think...

[Fortunately, the ninjas slowly approaching them are the only ones present. Unfortunately, they all break into a sprint when it looks like Gon and Alphys are making a break for it.]
betheman: (well that's shit)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-05-16 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah well whoever gets close is getting hit with hooves and/or vines.] LET US GO THEN!

[Before the great 'steed' not only gallops onward, but starts jumping at the trees to run along those. TRY CATCHING HIM NOW, NINJAS.]
textsfromhotland: (SQUAWK)

[Alphys clings as hard as she can, and is also screaming as loud as she can. everything happens so much

A wave of shuriken come flying at them in their escape.]
betheman: (FUCK THAT)

HmmMMMM! [Gongenzaka won't go down that easily! Aiming his metal arm backward at an angle that would probably hurt Anyone without flexibility, he draws upon the story to pull off a grander than typical repulsor blast. Take that, ninja, your shuriken is coming back for you!]

Worry not, Alphys..! I, the man Gongenzaka, do not intend to allow any harm to befall you!
