⇨ 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.

Syrlya steps closer, Childermass steps back, and while they do that, their new guest makes themselves known by slowly stepping out through the bushes. They're tall, covered in brown fur, and has the discarded fruit in hand. One of the bigfoots, a species that's mostly held itself at a distance before but curiosity and the sight of fruit has drawn this one out to take a closer look. They loom over the two of them, still half hidden in the bushes and tree branches, though they don't hold still or remain silent since they're absolutely lifting the sour fruit up and eating it as they watch Syrlya and Childermass.

The latter of the two, Childermass, stops moving as soon as that creature reveals itself, not really sure what to do.

"Ah. These... are much larger up close."

He's seen a few from far above, while out flying, but that's a very different perspective.

Syrlya stops and leans back as the Bigfoot rises up and over them, chewing on the discarded fruit.

"Hm. So they are." Not quite actual living giant huge, but large enough Syrlya doesn't really want to tangle with it over his fruit. So, of course, he starts walking backwards, slowly as if trying not to startle it that he's moving to escape.
