⇨ 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.

[Well, okay, she can see that. Maybe this guy comes from a really crap situation. Still...]

... A janitor.

[That might just be the lamest job around here.]

Was that what you did before coming here too, or...?
seniorvicejanitor: (r017)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-16 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

[ because he'd left before vasquez could actually make him clean shit up. he was a smart one, that rhys.]

I don't know why I got the job. Maybe it was the only one open.

[ yeah, that was it! ]
anti_nonsense: (I'm sure you'll get to the point someday)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-16 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt that.

[Sorry, not sorry.]

So what did you do before?
seniorvicejanitor: (r046)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-16 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Vault Hunter.

[ that, technically, was true! he hadn't been a vault hunter for long and he'd never found anything but he'd been trying! ]
anti_nonsense: (look it's a convenient distraction)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-16 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. [There's a look on her face that says she has no idea what that is, but it sounds vaguely more interesting than what she expected.]

And... what the heck is that?
seniorvicejanitor: (r056)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-17 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You hunt vaults.

[ duh! come on now. ]

To further explain, you find the locations of vaults where unimaginable treasure is buried. You gotta get past all kinds of nasty things to get there.
anti_nonsense: (I'm sure you'll get to the point someday)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-18 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
So you're a scavenger, basically.

I guess I am a little surprised, though. I was starting to think you were a coward.

[Actually, she still isn't convinced otherwise.]
seniorvicejanitor: (r069)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-18 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Vault Hunter.

[ there was a difference! ]

And I'm not a coward. I just know when to protect myself and run and when to fight.
anti_nonsense: (step 1: logic and reasoning)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-18 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh.

You mentioned guns before... but those are banned in this group. You know how to fight without them?
seniorvicejanitor: (r008)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I do.

[ just BARELY. ]

This arm of mine isn't just for show.

[ he waves the robotic arm around and smiles proudly. ]
anti_nonsense: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-20 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that arm gets her attention. While she was looking mostly apathetic until now, her eyes light up in an instant with fascination.]

I was wondering about that, actually... does it have functions beyond acting as a prosthetic?

[Even for a prosthetic, its motor functions alone seem quite advanced...]
seniorvicejanitor: (r062)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-20 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it does!

[ rhys wouldn't go making the decision to cut his arm and his eye off for just anything. he wanted substance as well as style. ]

It's a computer and also has a nice little stun gun feature.
anti_nonsense: (The blastia and I are getting married.)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
A computer?

[Hey Rhys, here's Rita getting up in your space and trying to get a closer look at the arm. She looks absolutely delighted by this concept of sticking a computer in one's arm.]

What can you use it for?
seniorvicejanitor: (r049)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-21 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Computing things.

[ when had she gotten so close to him? that was quick and sudden. ]

I can scan things and figure out what they are or who they are and any strengths and weaknesses. I can know what could kill me and what won't.

[ the computer didn't always work all that great but working some of the time was better than none of the time. ]
anti_nonsense: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-21 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Scanning? Huh. That actually sounds useful.

[She sounds surprised. Rita wasn't expecting much from a janitor. She also isn't backing up any, as she seems to be looking over the arm to figure out how the scanner functions. It'd be a lot easier if she could just dissect it, but Rhys probably wouldn't let her.]

So what would happen if you scanned... say, me?
seniorvicejanitor: (r046)

yes, this tag is me stalling so i can find some things out about rita for the scanning lmao

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-21 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you asking me to scan you?

[ not many just ask for it. he does it without them knowing and then he uses the information but nothing about this place is very typical. and if someone wants to be scanned, he supposes he can do that. ]
anti_nonsense: (That's the logical outcome.)

rofl. idk how his scanning works but feel free to pm me if you find yourself drawing a blank!

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Rita shrugs, casually.]

Well... why not? I want to see how effective it is, and there's no target I'd know better than myself.
seniorvicejanitor: (r037)

Re: rofl. idk how his scanning works but feel free to pm me if you find yourself drawing a blank!

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-22 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, just remember you asked.

[ rhys holds his hand, palm up, towards her and waits for the analysis to pop up in front of his eye.

ANALYSIS COMPLETE
NAME: RITA MORDIO
OCCUPATION: A MAGE OF A YOUNG AGE
MAIN WEAPON: WHIP
NOT FOR: NAUGHTY PURPOSES
YES I MEAN YOU. ]


So, you're something called a mage?
anti_nonsense: (how unexpected!)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-22 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rita's eyes widen. She didn't expect him to come to such a straightforward conclusion from a scan.]

...Yeah. A scholar and practitioner of magic.

It told you that?
seniorvicejanitor: (r079)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-22 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It did.

[ he gives his arm a wave, pleased with himself. ]

And told me something about whips too.
anti_nonsense: (step 1: logic and reasoning)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-22 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Whips? [Rita's face scrunches slightly, but she quickly understands.] Well... they are one of my weapons of choice.

To be honest, I thought the scan results would be more... technical, or maybe vague. More like... [She pauses.] Have you met 9S?
seniorvicejanitor: (r030)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-23 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I have.

[ he'd let 9s hack him and he still remembers how weird that had felt. like a tickle just underneath his skin. ]

His scans are boring? I mean technical?
anti_nonsense: (What's your excuse?)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-06-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Technical isn’t boring!

[She sounds almost personally offended. Technical information is the best kind!]

And... yeah. He was able to detect detailed biological information, for one. Don’t think he would’ve guessed my fighting style at a glance, though.
seniorvicejanitor: (r049)

[personal profile] seniorvicejanitor 2018-06-23 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, my scans are a little...interesting.

[ his scans were probably affected by jack's presence in his head and the fact that no one took anything seriously on pandora. ]

I think I would have wanted to know about your weapons more than what you're made of. I can prepare for your weapons.
anti_nonsense: (look it's a convenient distraction)

sorry for late!

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2018-07-04 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... sounds like your abilities could be pretty useful for nightrunner work. But the Ringmaster made you a janitor? Huh...
Edited 2018-07-04 23:54 (UTC)

no problem!
