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. |

"That's the point of it--the act of eating. What you devour becomes you... it is absorbed by its very consumption, by its essential nature into yours...! If what possessed you was once shadow, then by its essential absence reflected you become light!"
Despite his zeal, he still manages it to make it sound like this is the most basic thing in the world--and like he thinks she's truly stupid for needing it explained.

"That doesn't answer the question about what happens if I put too much 'darkness' BACK, Foster..!"
no subject
"When... did you do that?"
Did he miss something? He feels a lot like he missed something.
If eating the shadow(s) made you turn into light, where are you adding more shadows from?

The solution, naturally, is to immediately blow up the Other point. "W-Well...! I wasn't exactly 'lit up' when I was a Harbringer after all..! And..." She quiets, chewing her lip. "...Nothing looks different, but..."
She just can't shake this...Feeling.

....well.
He knows fairly well how they felt then, in the grip of the Void's abyssal enlightenment... but he doesn't know how they feel now. He can well assume, however, that it would leave a mark... what has been seen cannot be unseen, no matter how briefly it was glimpsed or flimsy the veneer through which it was sighted.
"The Void isn't shadow. It's the absence of all things--light or shadow, birth or rot."
no subject
"And that..." She frowns. "...What's literal, what's not literal...it feels like if anything could corrupt something 'alive', it would be that..."
It's a lie. At least partly a lie.
But now both things are worrying her, and she shakes on the spot, holding her arms close.
"....I need to talk to the Ringmaster," she says-more to herself, than anything. If Foster doesn't say anything, or do anything, she may take a few moments pause before floating off to do just that.
no subject
It doesn't last long, but.
Papyrus--
He won't argue with her about the Void's taint, as the Ringmaster calls it--he knows quite well how tainted it can leave life. In fact, he'll confirm it--!
Or he would, but she seems to have figured out an actually useful course, so he just watches her go in passive silence, his eyes tracking her every inch until she's gone.
