⇨ 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.

Oh... y-yeah, we can...

[And quite abruptly Yugo cuts himself short as he's trying to focus on digging the hoverbike back out from his pocket. The teen almost wonders if maybe he went so hard with his plasma breath that it already made his throat get all choked up- but he's already aware of the real reason.]

.... SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

Is this really the time? [Carly huffs, feathers ruffled immensely. At the moment, the Serpent is fruitlessly railing against the BookCarly, who is grinning quite darkly and vilely in turn. 'It's over!' the Serpent is snapping.

'Are you sure?' is the Maiden's reply.
] We can talk about what is or isn't real later, I-

Ohhh... [Rather abruptly, Carly sways, her large beaked face shaking.] Ohhh, I don't feel good...

'Now....FACE THE WRATH OF A GOD!'

URrff..

[That might not be wrath, and Yuugo should probably get behind a pillar.]
bananaspeedrider: (frustrated)

[Unfortunately, someone seems to be fresh out of common sense for the moment. It's lucky enough that Yugo's not in the way while hot with upset in every sense of the word- though this time not literally.

He's also about to retort back when that happens, which doesn't help either in curbing said feelings.]


Wha-...?
fortuneglass: (.A.)

[If Yuugo doesn't get behind that pillar, he is going to Regret it-and big time; Carly spews a massive blast of sickly violet flames toward the fighting duo, launching the serpent past the Maiden and far beyond the doorway, while the Maiden herself laughs.

Shaking herself of the fires, her form shrinks as the story fades as well. Without being shackled by 'obligation' to the tale, she quickly takes her normal form and covers her mouth.
] Ooooogggh...I feel nauseous...
bananaspeedrider: (straight face)

[personal profile] bananaspeedrider 2018-06-09 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Well once he sees it's a giant uncontrolled blast of fire breath, Yugo takes the split second he has between it being much more obviously telegraphed and then spewed out everywhere.

Then he turns back toward Carly once the pillar he's behind and everything else disappears.]


... Come on. Let's get the heck out of here.
insidescoop: (well shoot)

d o n e thread yay

Uggghh... good idea, [She mutters, swaying on her feet.]

...We can talk later...

[Assuming he even wants to talk or needs to, but. Well. Later...later....]
