⇨ 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.

cw for mention of eye trauma?? thanks mushishi

Ginko only holds him up for a moment before turning around and placing Lauren back on solid(?) ground. He kneels down in front of him, making sure he's still between the child and the river - just in case.

"There are dangerous mushi living in that river. If they infect you, they'll eat your eyeballs entirely - and I'm all out of spares to give away."

He's not even joking. ...Okay, he kind of is, but it's also true.

He looks at Ginko, his eyes flickering to towards the hair that always keeps the man's missing eye hidden. He has a strange feeling, like maybe he's met this man before.

"The eat your eyes?" he asks, voice loud despite the fact that he speaks in a shocked whisper.

"How?"

He nods, and only barely takes time to consider that he's talking to a child here before he continues. Ginko has never really gotten into the habit of avoiding saying upsetting crap when dealing with children, for better or worse.

"More or less how you'd expect. Once they've made contact with a human, they can get into their eye sockets pretty easily, and eat away at the eyes from the inside. Of course, even getting too close without touching it can result in contracting some kind of infection, but direct contact is even more dangerous."
