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. |

[At all. But Yuya points to his eyes.] But maybe if we're looking together, we'll have a better chance?
no subject
..Well... [He looks around.] ...If we are to go on whim then, let us search in spite of our odds, shall we? [Let's DO THIS.]
no subject
no subject
Well, we shall keep our eyes open for mirrors then....as it is, there are two miracles to seek-the mirror then, but one other such thing as well.
no subject
Yuya stops at one book, pulling it out and turning it over in his hands before opening it. it's fairly small, thin, with a golden color. And--] Aw, no! This was supposed to be private!
no subject
MNNH? What is the matter?!
[WHAT HAPPENED]
no subject
[He says the end with a little more edge, like 'secrets' have not all been as innocuous as a conversation with the Summer Maiden.]
no subject
Such an oath could well be akin to a contract with the Ringmaster, after all!
[At least Gongenzaka seems to respect it, even if it is a rather extreme response.] ...Mnh...though perhaps, you should keep it near you until it is close to when we must leave...if only to guarantee none here see...
no subject
That's certainly an idea he's had regarding the story about Zarc, but so far he's had little luck attempting to locate that, either. Rather than admit to that, though, he falls into a brief silence as he reads the short passage.]
I guess this is the whole thing... [He flips over a page. His voice falls a little monotone as he absently summarizes the text.] She thanked me with a special favor because of--uh.
[Uh. Wait a minute.]
no subject
Though he does abruptly stiffen, when he realizes what Yuuya has said.] A...
A favor?
no subject
At the time, he was just thinking more about the Ringmaster, and downplaying his part in the affair, he hadn't considered what that actually meant.] She thanked me!
[It only took him like, four months to realise.]
no subject
Th- Th-
She thanked-
Y-Yuuya..! That is a very incredible matter indeed..!! I, the man Gongenzaka, should perhaps liken such a matter to what Creation chose to bestow upon myself..!
[If only because, as much as Creation is definitely a leg up over the fae...Summer can actually freaking talk to Yuuya if and ever he cashes in on that favor.
He, on the other hand, sort of gets to hope and pray.]
no subject
[She's like, the third most important Summer Fae. That's a lot.]
no subject
FRIENDSHIP SENSES, KICKING IN. Gongenzaka quickly pulls himself to a calmer state, coughing.] W...Well!
After all, you have yet to request any such thing from her now, correct?
Presumably...such a thing does not bear a 'time limit'. Rather instead...it is something to keep in mind, for when you feel she could help you most.
Given what we are to do now... ...it is a matter which could well save another's life, I imagine...
...Do not fret for what to do with her 'thanks' for now, Yuuya-no doubt...this sort of favor is one which you will understand the need for, when the time comes...
no subject
[He just, you know, willingly sacrificed himself to excruciating pain for it to work.] I didn't know she was that thankful.
no subject
[But, also-he raises a brow.] ...Yuuya. You took a mark upon your very soul, did you not? You suffered immense pain, seeking no reward but the safety of the others...and succeeded.
That, I should think...is certainly something which many would be 'thankful' for, if it concerned one they cared about.
no subject
... Mm, I won't waste it. If she gave that to me, I'll use it for something important, too.
gently ties this off...
[Well. To that, Yuuya will receive an encouraging smile.] I, the man Gongenzaka, have no doubt that you will.
