⇨ 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.

Hearing Lauren say that he's right does boost Strange's spirits a little. But he's got plenty of condescending know-it-all energy left in him so this conversation is far from over.

"None of us planned to meet with the fae for this encounter," Strange points out. If the fae caught them by surprise once, then they can catch them by surprise again. "As long as you're in the carnival, the more you know about the fae, the better. What matters is that you keep yourself and Susan safe and it would be easier to do that with information. Who the fae are, what they can do, any particular personality defects, and so on."

What Strange is trying to say is 'brush up on your npcs, Lauren.'

too mad to talk

He ignores the spike of irritation the sentence brings. It irked him even more how calmly Strange explained all this. He could stand there and argue, but he didn't want to. Instead he simply turns around and walks away.

And when Lauren walks away, Strange lets him. He's picked way too many fights in the past few days—he won't continue this conversation if Lauren doesn't want to.
