⇨ 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.

The Summer Queen stands at her throne, looking down upon you. Her fears clearly extend to consequences beyond your own fate. She looks away, thinking, before eventually turning back to you.

"They can't know this is possible. It shouldn't be possible," she says, her hand clasped over her chest. "You must go, before you're seen. The balance must be kept, for the good of all Arcadia."

Her heart is pounding heavy in her chest, its thumping ringing in her head as the Summer Queen looks away from her. What, what has she done wrong? Just what the hell is she missing?

It's when she's told to go that she feels her fear turn to rage. She had to go? Go where? And damn it, why? None of this made sense, and the damn Queen was being vague as she wanted. She rises to her feet in an instant, too angry to be scared.

"What are you sayin', you trying to tell me that something's wrong with me? I ain't here to play games!"

So fine, she didn't really know exactly why she was here to begin with, but she wasn't there to fool around.
