⇨ SHABONDAMASHII

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 92 - Day 99
Where: Shabondamashii Bathhouse
What: With the Silver Mirror claimed and the animals of Eden relocated, it's time for the carnival to kick back and enjoy an interdimensional bathhouse and the surrounding festival city. Meanwhile, the scattered shards of the Mirror have an unexpected effect.
Warnings: Dark/Light halves acting weird.
THE BIG CLEANSE

As the carnival recovers, the Ringmaster has brought it to the gates of a famous interdimensional bathhouse to rest. She won't be joining you for most of it, though she will be checking in frequently and available by radio. She's fixed a large portion of the Silver Mirror after it shattered, but it seems like pieces are missing. She doesn't want to rest until the missing shards are dealt with, and the Mirror itself is locked away safely.

► YOUR OTHER HALF: The shards missing from the Silver Mirror didn't just disappear - after breaking apart in Eden, fragments of the object embedded themselves in the spirits of those not already touched by its powers, and those that had been the most fae-touched. That means, your characters. The effect of this, explained in more detail on the plotting post, is that some characters will be splitting into two versions of themselves: the Light, and the Dark. This doesn't mean good and evil, of course, it's far more complicated than that.

Splits can start happening at any time after arriving in Shabon, and initially characters won't know how to rejoin with their twins. Later on, it will become apparent that they need to reconnect via the shard of the Mirror they share... of course, in order to rejoin, you have to have both halves, and not all twins will be as eager to go back to the way things were before. This plot point is optional.

► SPA DAY: When you're not engaging in metaphysical division, you are free to enjoy the many luxuries that Shabon offers. Things will mostly have an east-Asian bend, like what you would see in the movie Spirited Away, but as long as it doesn't affect the setting much, you can honestly have whatever spa-type services available that you want. Food is served both in restaurants and 'buffet' style. There are also well paid sex workers here, if that is your thing, but make sure to tip well.

► FESTIVAL TOWN: The city surrounding Shabondamashii is largely meant to catch the business of interdimensional tourists. There are frequent parades and other events held, and the architecture is very closely packed. It's easy to get lost if you leave the bathhouse, but it's definitely worth it if you like party. You can pick out a few outfits for yourself and some fun nick nacks, but nothing that would normally require mod approval.

"Hoooo... ...Honestly it was barely a month! Even the last real stop we had before Eden, we still did some show business..."

Anyway. She beams, almost literally at the other. "I'm glad to hear it~ The entire point of a vacation is to enjoy it after all..~"

carly please you have a notboyfriend-

The thought of them going back to circus work soon has him blanching. He hopes they don't intend to put him in the show. He likes to look cool, okay?

"I thought that was the point of life."

"Yes but a vacation is where you relax more," Carly insists, beaming.

Dark probably shouldn't worry about looking cool in the carnival setting. Non performance jobs aside, no one can always be cool in the Carnival,

The woman decides to continue along that point, tapping her fingers together. "Especially since it tends to mean you're somewhere you don't normally get to go~ It's all the more reason to take advantage!"

He can try, dammit.

He smiles and shakes his head. He’s never met someone so insistent that near-strangers have fun. It’s sweet.

“Well, this place certainly fits the bill, Miss...?”

"Carly~!" She beams, quite literally of course. "Carly Nagisa~ Mr...?"

She inclines her head, waiting for his name as well. Maybe she's heard it before maybe not but let's get a full introduction, hm?
apaintingdarkly: (hopeless flirt)

"Dark," he offers, reaching to take her hand with half a bow. He never passes up an opportunity to be charming... unless he's talking to a bird.

"Dark," she repeats, nodding. She'll let him take that hand then- such a gentleman! "Well then! Any ideas on where to go first, Dark~?" That's not entirely a serious question outside vague preference- neither of them have any solid clue on what this place has to offer after all, so it'll be a matter of finding everything in the first place.

But it's also more fun this way.

He gives her hand the lightest of kisses, and makes no move to give it back. A gentleman and a flirt, that's what he is.

"I was just wandering around. If there's anything you'd like to do, we should do that first."

She's a sucker for that kind of thing. Carly is still giggling a little as she brings her hand back, trying to clear her head and think about what to pick. "Ah- Well, there's plenty to do here it looks like...a little like home actually," she hums, thinking it over.

"Mnhh...But for something like this...I think even just wandering until we spy something works well!"

Rather, she has no freaking idea what to start with. Of course.

It's not as though Dark has any ideas either. He doesn't actually go on a lot of dates, on account of being a phantom thief and all. It isn't wise for him to be seen in public very often, even if his transformations weren't a disaster waiting to happen.

"We'll wander, then. Spending time with a lovely lady like yourself is plenty of entertainment for me."

"Oooh~!" You'll make her blush Dark! (Or blush more, anyway.) "Then away we go~" she chuckles, almost wishing she had a fan ready for effect. "Maybe they'll have something more scenic than shopping stalls while we're wandering, so that we can enjoy the walk...!"
