⇨ 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.

That's not exactly what he was asking but he accepts it and he'll continue to hold it out as the points stagger outwards in the four cardinal directions. It'll do as a shield but it wasn't fool proof. It was flat and not curved. Anything could easily spill over the sides. Tease were meant to be destructive after all and brief. Death always came with their appearance.

"Your sized shield or smaller than that?"

"Mmnn...a little smaller," she determines, pondering the question for a moment. "...It's round too- like the moon," the girl adds. Quite a lot like the moon in fact, given she has a magical affinity bleeding right into it.
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - you can try)

That's better. She'll get another head pat that way and he'll let go of the shield. It doesn't shudder or flicker but just retransforms into the Tease it was before, flitting there in her open hands now in an idle state. "You'll have to show it to me when you perfect it."

"Ah-" Headpats...

Reira watches as the shield becomes what she mentally calls a 'butterfly' again, and nods, chewing her lip. "Mnh..! I've been practicing, but..." Well. Suffice to say, far from perfect.

"I'll show you..!" That's a Promise.
prazerbutterfly: (zpost exo - uwah~ so hot)

"Show me a man that can get worse from practicing and I'll show you a blind man who can see," he says as if reciting something out of a book. That Tease is going to flit in the air until it lands on Reira's head as if it understands its purpose.

"Good girl."
soft_focus: (.w.)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2018-05-21 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ahh.." Well! Now that just brings a burst of pride to her. With a wide smile, she nods. "Y-Yeah..! I'm going to make my wind spell work too..! It's easier to practice that with the gills, so..." She sort of trails off, but it probably doesn't matter too much. Right now it's not practice time either way.

"...I'll do more practice after I have this book ready," she decides, getting her polaroid ready.
prazerbutterfly: (now now)

He brings his hand back over as the Tease lands on Reira's head and sits there. He allows it to do so with a lazy lean against the arm rest. He kind of wishes he brought a blanket given how tired he is.

"Don't overwork yourself."
soft_focus: (.w.)

looks like a good tie off here yeah?

"Mnh! I promise!"

And while she works on pictures...well. You can sleep, Tyki. That's probably a good idea, actually.
prazerbutterfly: (Tease)

works for me

He nods along with her words but doesn't really say much else. He trusts her enough not to touch his stuff but even then a Tease is landing on his shoulder like a proper guard dog. Just going to lightly doze off on her, oops.
