⇨ THE ATHENAEUM

[ringleaders]

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.

Just Take A Look

Reira? What are you doing?

[Oh, look, here's someone. It's been... a little lonesome seeing as she's moved out now, but it's always nice to run into Reira. And now she's noticing her photographic books.]

Something you found?

[soft_focus]

Um-!

...I found books I want to read, [Reira explains, holding up 'Alice in Wonderland' as an example.] ...But we're not going to be here for a long time, right?

So if I take pictures, I can make the pictures a version of the book, since I can't take the book with me...

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

Oh! Wow, that’s a good idea!

[Yuzu tilts her head a bit.]

You need some help with that?

[soft_focus]

Mnn! The cards are small but...I can still read what's on them.

[Though, she is a bit stuck on how Yuzu could help with that. She blinks, looking upward.] Ummm... ...I only have my camera...

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

[Yuzu ponders this for a bit...]

I could always go back for my computer...

[soft_focus]

The computer..?

[Wait]

...The computer is a camera..?!
