⇨ 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. |

"...I, the man Gongenzaka, do not believe that is how spirits work." But man, that sure is weird. "Nonetheless, we were clearly both there- enough that I, the man Gongenzaka, was able to speak to you!"
no subject
Then he does a weird little hopping dance as he gets an idea, and the idea makes him excited.
"Gon! Gon! I know I just took yer body out for a joyride and all, but... can I try something?"
no subject
"....Provide one good reason why the answer should be 'yes'."
no subject
"Because, I think... if I can share your body with you, I might be able to share some of my abilities, too!"
no subject
Alright he admits that's a pretty decent reason to try it. Zangetsu is a power house- if they could combine forces, they could very likely lay serious hurt on something fighting them. Or, simply defend that much easier. So....
"...If I, the man Gongenzaka, suspect anything is amiss, you will leave my body without question, understand?" he eventually says.
no subject
Zangetsu approaches and places his hand on Gon's chest. He frowns as it interacts like physical matter. But then, he focuses, and his hand passes though.
And he sort of... awkwardly falls in.
At first, there's that same feeling of tightness as Zangetsu's spirit form tries to maintain its shape. But then, he seems to dissipate, settling in as an obvious and somewhat distracting presence in Gon's mind.
The differences are immediate -- black leaks into Gon's vision as his eyes change color, and there's a powerful pang around the hole in his chest. But there's also a surge of power, raw and primal.
'Woah.'
A voice directly in Gon's mind!
no subject
...But he's still there. And Gon's eyes widen with that realization.
"AUH-"
... 'Zangetsu!?' He's going to try just speaking into his mind for now, but holy shit,
no subject
It's... strange, for Zangetsu. Gon doesn't really have an inner world like Ichigo, so he feels sort of like he's floating in space with vague connections to Gon's body and senses. He can see the outside world perfectly well, at least.
'This is REAL weird... but I think it worked? Hey. Run forward for me. I wanna try somethin' else!'
no subject
A few quick stretches and... "Alright..! I, the man Gongenzaka, shall charge now..!"
Running time..!
no subject
FWISH--!
They dash forward, as if teleporting, about 6 feet.
It might be enough to cause Gon to lose his balance, though...
no subject
"MNFG-" That's the most graceful faceplant ever.
Not.
His back legs are going clear into the air and possibly mostly over his head. Nice.
no subject
This time, he skids on his back. But, he quickly sits up with a "WOO!!!"
"it worked!! I can't believe that worked!"
no subject
"Nnnhhhhggggguuuu..." Ow.
"Indeed...it certainly...did, Zangetsu..."
He can't be too upset, he sort of agreed to that.
no subject
"Are you alright?"
no subject
no subject
"Sorry, it went farther than I thought it would. But it worked! Ya flash stepped!"
