⇨ CAMPING GROUNDS

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.

[And it just so happens 9S is nearby! It's almost like, fate, that every time he happens on Rhys, it is during a less than flattering moment. As usual, Pod 153 is hovering by his shoulder, though this time, his sword is floating at his back via a glowing ring of light, the blade covered in a scabbard.

So when he hears Rhys' yelp, 9S rushes over.]


Rhys!

[He glances around, looking for danger. Though... there seems to be none? His tone turns doubtful.]

Are you alright?

No!

[ does he sound all right? no, he does not. he sounds like he's about to be eaten by some terrifying creature. ]

This campsite is infested with monsters.

[ that nightcrawler had done nothing but look at him. rhys was just a reactionary bitch. ]

[9S glances as Rhys. Glances at Pod 153. The voice that comes out of the box bot is clearly robotic, though with a distinctly 'female' sound to it.]

< Hypothesis: The small creature placed on the plant life is the cause of the human named Rhys' distress >

[9S looks back at Rhys.]

Really?

What?

[ size doesn't matter, 9s! that little thing can still be deadly! you didn't know what he'd seen on pandora. ]

Just because it's small doesn't mean it can't kill. Also, it surprised me by just being there.

[/doubt

But it's true that small doesn't mean 'not deadly'. Still, 9S can hardly believe the useless looking thing is any kind of deadly. Totally judging you, bud. Even the box bot is judging.

Nevertheless, 9S walks up to the nightcrawler and peers down at it, which just sort of smiles up at him with its goofy face on legs. It really does seem harmless... But if it's causing Rhys distress, he supposes he should do something about it.]


Alright, alright. I'll get rid of it.

[In fact, 9S stretches out a hand... and gives the nightcrawler a good flick. The poor thing goes hurtling away into the grass.]

Target eliminated.

[ rhys waits for 9s to make a joke at his expense because he's got a lot of information ready on deadly insects and bugs that crawl around pandora. but 9s doesn't say anything.

jack's losing his shit inside of rhys' head though. of course he is. ]


Don't say a word.

[ just to forestall any laughter. ]

Bugs carry diseases.

[9S jerks back as if burned.]

Diseases?

[Now that's a cause for alarm. Not for him, anyway. He doubts any sort of disease that would affect biological beings would be a concern for him.]

What sort of diseases?
seniorvicejanitor: (r073)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-14 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Bad ones.

[ very enlightening, wasn't it? ]

Ones that make your face swell up and your eyes bleed.

[ see? bad. ]
dressedtothe: (holy shit look at that ass)

[personal profile] dressedtothe 2018-06-17 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[9S cringes.]

Really?

[That's bad! Maybe not as bad as White Chlorination Syndrome, but still bad!!]

How are they transmitted?
seniorvicejanitor: (r098)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-17 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rhys shrugs. ]

Depends. Usually they bite you or sting you. That gets it into the blood but I suppose if someone else is infected and you drink from their water glass or breathe on them, that might do it too.

[ it was just safer to stay inside. ]

[Erk. Really!?]

The Ringmaster wouldn't bring us here to rest if we were in serious danger from the wildlife.

[Except he doesn't sound entirely convinced.]
seniorvicejanitor: (r045)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-19 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't sound entirely convinced.

[ yeah, rhys heard that bit of uncertainty there. he feels you, he really does. ]

Maybe she doesn't know.
