⇨ THE SUMMERLANDS
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 119 - Day 126
Where: The Summerlands
What: Ignatius and Gild portal everyone to the Summerlands, with hopes of appealing to the Summer Maiden for help. Meanwhile, the carnival gets the chance to relax in luxury as only tentatively welcome guests. Here is the location write up from the last time the carnival visited. Since then, of course, some things have changed.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

THE SUN RISES↴ After taking the time to rest, Ignatius and Gild will be able to pool together their energy to portal the carnival (and the airship) to the Summerlands. Those still in Polaris will be left to their own devices for the moment as Gild intends to ask for the Summerlands aid in relocating them, hopefully as soon as possible. With the effort the carnival put into sorting things out in there, however, they should be fine on their own for a little while, at least. They will arrive in the flowery fields at the base of the mountains, and soon the Summer Fae will notice their presence. Since the last time they visited, however, the atmosphere has changed. ► YOUR ARRIVAL: As the Summer Fae discover the group's arrival, it will quickly become apparent that there is a tension present that wasn't there any of the other times the carnival has visited. The Summer Maiden comes to greet the group personally, with an entourage of armed Summer Fae. They are not at all aggressive unless provoked, but there is clearly a wariness that is new. They seem uncertain about Ignatius being here, and while Gild will be able to do a lot of the talking and smooth things over, the Summer Maiden will deflect having a serious conversation about affairs until the carnival has taken time to 'rest.' It's more likely that the Maiden needs a moment to think over this new information before dealing with it. ► SUMMER CITY: After the Summer Fae become aware of everyone's presence, and the initial uncertainties are accommodated, they will invite you into their city. There are stairs that lead up the sides of the mountains, but thankfully there are also magical means of getting up there as well. The Summer Fae will be willing to help workers with the injured as needed, offering herbal remedies and healing magic to those that want it. You'll also be invited to join them for dinner, but it feels like more of a formality, and no one is obligated to take them up on it. ► SUMMER PEOPLE: The fae here will do their best to entertain these new visitors - but it doesn't seem that much happens here besides day after day of peaceful meditation and relaxation. It is not uncommon to see Summer Fae spent days doing exactly the same thing, whether that be enjoying the weather, listening to music, or dancing - the day and night periods may be similar to earth, but when you don't need rest it can all blur together just the same. Some of the fae work on feats of agriculture or craftsmanship, and while there is no particularly need to work in this place, they take pride in the fact that they do. ► FAMILIAR FACES: One very different thing about the Summerlands this go around is that there appears to be a small settlement built at the base of the mountains, filled entirely with the former residents of the Manor. Alyss and Reyna will explain that they set up a place to live down there with the Summer Fae's help, and that the fae seems to be trying to remain hands off except when they are needed. The Manor folk overall seem to be doing well, though there is some tension regarding their place in the Summerlands - they are clearly seen as refugees, and while the Summer Fae do their best to help them, the arrival of the carnival and the request for even more help with refugee aid seems to be making things awkward. ► OF THINGS TO COME: The Summer Maiden will remain distant for the first few days, but according to Gild and based on personal observation, it will seem that the news that the Ringmaster has been taken and the idea that even more desperate mortals are requesting to come here are putting her at significant ill ease. She's not rude or dismissive, but she seems reluctant to address the situation head on, though she has said that she will hold a meeting with the carnival later in the week to discuss everything in more detail. None of them seem particularly angry or resentful, but they seem to regard the carnival as an ill portent of things to come. |

... Carly! There you are!
[
This should only go well.]no subject
[Carly can't even get herself to fake optimism when Yuugo shows up. So Nuna just sighs, and lets things...happen.] Oh- Were you looking for me, Yuugo..?
no subject
... Wanted to know how well you were holding up.
no subject
[Awk...ward...] ...A...as well as I can...I guess, [She manages softly.] ...I'm hoping I can find...something for it, you know..~?
no subject
Well if you haven't found anything yet- then maybe it's still possible you could... I dunno, give me a second opinion on how shirts should be fitting on me now?
[Maybe a distracting topic is the answer. Despite how upsetting it might be to see the state of his back now.]
no subject
...But she will Try.] ...It's hard to tell properly, since I can't see the depth of anything, [she mutters, standing to feel over the boy's shoulders for a moment.] ...But you should aim for backless, in case you use the jets- otherwise it'll be a firehazard. Something with a large hole, with enough resistance to the cloth in the magical sense, might work as well...
[Her voice is quite tense- she's very clearly forcing herself to give any worthy advice.]
no subject
[As if this was the first time Carly's laid out what her eyesight is like and it's likely far from the case, but it's pretty hard to visualize being unable to perceive shadows. He cringes at the icy chill of her tone and quickly starts to regret asking this of her.
... The advice is definitely helpful.]
If only you like... had more eyes somewhere else, eh?
no subject
All I can see is the full light of something, not....
[She trails off, frowning at him.] It's not as if I'm the Psiionic, [Carly mutters, crossing her arms,] I can't expect to just wake up and have extra eyes..!
[Can she? Well, she's pretty sure she can't anyway, and as is-] ...Two bad ones are better than four bad ones, anyway...
no subject
[Guess who keeps digging his own hole.]
It's not like you could do something like look through someone else's eyes either...!
[Yugo's voice trails off into a complete stop and his expression shifts into some form of contemplation, apparently reminded of something to that level of weirdness.]
no subject
Ah- ...That's not really how seeing eye dogs work, on that note...
[Yes she's assuming that's what he meant. She's been more or less using Nuna for that, after all.]
no subject
[What.]
Literally, I mean.
no subject
You-
...What!? ...Seriously, you just...
That just 'happened', what!?
no subject
[That same connection most notably being what saved the day for the carnival in Portland. Which... Yugo never really explained in detail to Carly, did he?]
no subject
...I'm pretty sure I can't just soul-bond with someone else and ride on that... [Of course, as much as she says that now, an idea seems to slowly be forming...]
