⇨ CAMPING GROUNDS

[ringleaders]

Who: Everybody!
When: Day 64
Where: The Camping Grounds
What: While the Ringmaster attempts to purge the carnival of magical tracing spells and deal with the angry fire fae in her belly, everyone else is getting sent on an emergency camping trip with some unusual local fauna.
Warnings: Camping.

CRYPTIC CAMPGROUNDS↴ You're given about three hours to prepare, after the Ringmaster tells you her plans for the coming week. There is a vast selection of camping equipment at your disposal, and the means to take along enough food for the length of the stay. The wilderness of the planet you're left on is nearly idyllic, but some people just don't like the great outdoors. ► CRYPTOZOOLOGY: As it turns out, the carnival won't be alone here. There is a varied ecosystem of cryptids to be found as well, living in relative peace and mostly reacting to the newcomers with curiousity. More details can be found on the plotting post. You are free to NPC the cryptids as much as you need to, as long as you stick to the behaviours described. ► DREAMSHARING: There is a player plot going on which will allow characters to share dreams! These are specifically more dreams than nightmares, and the mushi-adept characters will be here to help. ► CHILLAX: There isn't any plot twist for this setting, so this is mostly an opportunity to decompress from the last plot and get ready for the future. The Ringmaster will show up occasionally to help with needed medical treatments and check on things, but won't stick around for long.

Hinawa | OTA

[sunflowerfields]

A: By the campfire

There's hardly a moment where Hinawa isn't cooking. She's up at dawn making breakfast, then she hardly sits down for the rest of the day to keep everyone full and happy. They were able to bring plenty of stock from the kitchen, but she supplements with mushrooms, berries, and roots gathered from the nearby forest. There's a smorgasbord of stuff available throughout the trip, and of course, she's willing to make something special if you ask.

Hinawa is also trying out the rack of spices the Ringmaster gifted her, and if you stop by she might hand you a small plate of something. "Here- try this!"

She doesn't actually know what most of the spices do. Hopefully you get one of the better ones.

B: Don't feed the wildlife

Over the course of the camping trip, some of the local fauna might wander close to the food stations. At first it's just a few jackalopes that seem braver than normal, then some nightcrawlers start hanging around. One evening, you might spot a bigfoot skulking at the edge of the woods, waiting patiently as Hinawa brings over some leftover cooked fish.

...Apparently no one ever told her not to feed the animals.

C: Checking in

And when she's not cooking, Hinawa, tailed by Sunny, is stopping at tents and hammocks to make sure no one is hiding. Because if there's one thing she's learned while being here, it's that everyone needs someone to check up on them once in a while, especially after a traumatic trip like the Athenaeum.

"Knock-knock! Have you eaten? Can I get you anything?"

D: Wildcard

[ANYTHING ELSE. If she's not cooking she's probably doing laundry by the waterfall or picking berries.]
