⇨ 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.

Alphys has just taken to lying in the middle of the pile of poles and canvas, apparently giving up. This is her home now.

"Why did they make these things so hard to use?" She bemoans her fate.

Well, nothing is going to fix itself. Reira decides that the most important thing to do, while her daemon Stares, is to remove things from atop of Alphys if that applies.

And then...move anything that's just sort of around Alphys, rather than under.

...And then maybe look directly at her face, peering over from an angle.

"....Do you want help..?"

[textsfromhotland]

Some people might balk at accepting a small child's help with something they should able to do on their own.

Alphys is not one of those people.

"Please."

"Mnh!" Reira does rather like it when people don't get touchy about her offering help. It's not like she CAN'T after all. So first she offers a hand. "You have to get off the tent first, so we can figure out where the poles go," she explains.

[textsfromhotland]

Instead of taking Reira's hand, Alphys just sorta rolls over off of the tent. "Howzat?"

[soft_focus]

Reira doesn't seem to take it personally, watching the other roll away before pointing at various 'tubes' on the tent. "The tent has to get held up by the poles. So things for the poles to go in, have to be there. Like these," she explains, flicking one.
