⇨ 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.

Tanyuu would point out that purifying the lake water wouldn't be too much of an issue (it's fairly clean anyway), but he's from a time that has much more widespread convenience. He's probably used to artificially filtered water being the norm.

Instead she nods with a faint smile to his awkward request. "Of course, it's no problem at all. I'm not particularly busy at the moment."

He is, not to mention he hasn't been to war yet, so alternatives to magical plumbing don't occur to him.

"Good," he says, and heads off back towards the campsite without further preamble. "It shouldn't take too long."

Tanyuu nods and follows along, her eyes lingering on the injured wing for a few moments.

"Are the new feathers themselves painful at all?"

[scientificist]

"They're mostly...itchy," says Herbert, rolling his shoulders and his wings in the process. "I believe this isn't generally an issue when it comes to moulting--I was only unlucky enough to lose all my feathers at once." He's walking as quickly as he can over forest ground. He wants to get this over with.

"Do you also see mushi?" An abrupt segue because he talked with Ginko about it fairly recently.

Her eyebrows raise slightly at the segue (or lack thereof), but she doesn't let it fluster her.

"I can, yes, though Ginko's sight as much more...acute, I suppose. He can see strains of mushi that I cannot, but those are mostly incredibly rare varieties, or the product of extraordinary circumstance." She smiles slightly. "I do, however, know about far more varieties than Ginko. I was the caretaker of a very old archive at home, and part of my duties required the memorization of everything kept there."
