⇨ 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.

Bugs are getting in the way of everything.

[ rhys glances over, nods at the man and then does a double take at feathers. then, he asks a dumb question: ]

Are you part bird?

[pipers_son]

[Now that is sure a question... and one that there's really only one response to.]

Which one?

[Birds of a feather and all that! Don't mind his snickers.]

[seniorvicejanitor]

Which bird?

[ oh gosh, rhys doesn't know that!!! ]

The one with wings.

[pipers_son]

[Joker says nothing. Sure, he's a chatty enough guy, but sometimes... Words aren't necessary.]

[Just a shit eating grin and the way both of them spread out their wings, his mismatched and Feathers' weirdly leafy.]

[seniorvicejanitor]

I...don't know what I'm seeing here.

( what the fuck.

no really W T F. )

Are you a bird?

( seemed like the most prudent question to ask. )

[pipers_son]

[He could make this easy, he really, genuinely could. Joker knows that. But, honestly? How is that fun? Allowing his wings to fold in against his back again while Feathers doesn't bother, because he's still a show off to the end, he just laughs.]

You'll have ta be more clear on who yer talkin' ta! There's two of us here, y'know~.

[seniorvicejanitor]

( yeah, rhys can see that which is just making this worse. he's not that smart a man, you know, and he needs a break sometimes! )

It's a question for...however many of you there are. General question for the crowd! Everyone here can answer the question!

( just to cover all bases. )

[pipers_son]

[Alright, Joker can't help but laugh at that, hand curled to his mouth. It doesn't do much to hide the grin, but at least he's... trying...? Maybe...?]

Fair enough! But ta answer the question, I'm mostly human- [he jabs a finger towards himself.] And Feathers here is bird enough ta count, although the people where he's from would say he's somethin' called a Pokemon.

[seniorvicejanitor]

And you're...combined?

( was that the word for it? how was this described? )

Same person, one body? Or something?

[pipers_son]

Ha. No. Definitely not.

[As if to conclusively prove this theory wrong, the enormous bird begins to waddle over with a delighted coo. Joker just stays in the background, amused.]

[Get ready for fond attention from a bird the size of some people, buddy.]
