⇨ 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.

Re: camping whyyyy

[ rhys startles slightly, glaring at the noise until he sees that it's someone having as much trouble with things as he is. ]

Me too!

[ he was glad he wasn't alone. ]

[textsfromhotland]

I can't use my laptop... or sleep in my own bed... or catch up on my shows... this is seriously the worst!

[seniorvicejanitor]

It is.

[ he didn't even mind the laptop (because he had a computer built into him) or the shows but he missed the bed and the roof and the door that locked. ]

What are we supposed to do to entertain ourselves? Talk?

[textsfromhotland]

[SOCIALIZING... the very thought makes Alphys screw up her snoot.]

I'm so bad at small talk though!

[seniorvicejanitor]

[ rhys wasn't all that bad when it came to talking but it still wasn't his favorite thing to do when he didn't know the other person. ]

You could just...sleep the entire time?

[textsfromhotland]

[Alphys, sleeping all the time is unproductive to a healthy lifestyle and a major symptom of underlying mental health issues including depression-]

I could sleep all the time!

[Alphys no]

[seniorvicejanitor]

You could!

[ rhys was actually happy that one of his suggestions seemed to work for him. rhys doesn't think he could sleep the entirety of the time but it might be fun to try. ]

And have someone wake you up in case you miss something.

[textsfromhotland]

What could I possibly miss out here? Oh, there was a squirrel! Then there was another squirrel! Pass.

[seniorvicejanitor]

I more meant in case something bad happens.

[ you know, like some person eating animals or a storm or something. didn't bad stuff always happen around here? ]

You'd want someone to wake you up if we had to run away, right?

[textsfromhotland]

Maybe I want to be devoured by some giant monster.

[It'd be better than camping.]

[seniorvicejanitor]

But then you'd be dead.

( and that was not a good thing. )
