⇨ 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.

He's admittedly unsure of where to take the conversation from here. He recalls their last encounter and the disapproval - disgust, even? - Rita expressed over his contracted form, and he feels he recognises a similar emotion in her expression in this instance too. He isn't too surprised, though; he himself was fairly surprised when really big spikes suddenly came up.

Still, he attempts to make further conversation in hopes of easing up her mood. "It's certainly different out here. I'd rather be doing something more productive, personally, but if we're going to be stuck out here for a week, we may as well make the most of it, right?

"...are there places like this in your world?" he asks somewhat suddenly.

"What, with nothing but trees and grass and crap?" Rita asks, seemingly unimpressed by the majesty of nature.

Shrugging, she offers an answer despite her dismissive tone. "Yeah, lots of places like it. Most are infested with monsters, though. You'd have to be crazy to go out into the woods without serious protection."
