⇨ 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.

"How would I see the questions I haven't reached yet..." Without, you know. Reading ahead.

Or anyway. "..I'm still not cold," she insists, still apparently insisting on No Towel. "...If I bring a towel, and leave it somewhere, I'll have to make sure I get out of the water at the same spot."

....Where....did she initially enter the water from....

He's pretty sure a health textbook is not going to be mixed with the math and science, even in Wismuth.

He's not exactly following this new protest, however. "Well... yeah? Most people do that when they bring stuff to the beach. It's the same as you going back to your tent every day when you camp."

Do children even start Health Class that early? Who even knows. Especially with psuedo-american curriculum.

Reira still seems to be finding this argument Terrible, in any case, but her defenses are becoming so outlandish that it's no doubt more amusing than anything else- "....No, I go back to the tent because that's the temporary home," she explains, frowning quite seriously.

"I'm not going back to shore to sleep, it's just part of the way back to the tent."

Yuya isn't even remotely following her line of logic there. It's like she's completely skipped the concept of taking stuff with you when you go places.

"Uh... okay." Well, the day she gets a cold is the day he told her so. "Then you better get to the tent so you can dry off quickly."

"Mhn! I will! I have to be careful so that niisama doesn't get too cold I think," she adds, frowning rather seriously.

As it is- who knows how kids think, these days. Even normal ones are a little out there sometimes... ...but at least she seems to be happy for the moment?
