⇨ New Location: THE SUMMERLANDS
| PREPARATION↴ This time, there is no preparation. When the Severing was broken, the Ringmaster immediately returned everyone to the carnival, no matter their earthly location - only to then drag the carnival's realm all the way to the Summerlands right after. As the workers arrive, they will have been scattered around the carnival grounds, back in their original bodies - including their old faerie changes, of course, plus perhaps a few new ones. Bodies and memories will return to what they were before Portland, and while the life they lived there will stay with them as memories, they will only now be left to fully contemplate what they just experienced. SETTING↴  The Summerlands are an idyllic realm of glorious mountain-top cities and vast fields of flowers and grass. It is inhabited almost entirely by the Summer Fae, a faction of the Summer Court which broken ties with their Arcadia homeland a long time ago. Veterans that have been with the carnival since the vampire's first attack will remember staying here for a couple months while everyone was recovering. The fae here will remember those workers as well, with an accuracy that is sometimes eerie. There is plenty to do in the Summer Fae's city - though there is far more space than there is people, given that there are only a few hundred fae present here. There is no shortage of good food, music, and dancing - with plenty of other amenities like waterfall-side pools and gardens filled with small miracles. All workers will be offered rooms they can stay in within the city if they prefer, but they are also welcome to stay within the carnival grounds if that makes them more comfortable. There is magical wildlife of various sorts, but none of it is particularly aggressive beyond basic predatory tendencies. The days and nights and both of pleasant temperature and weather. It's only major downside is that the peaceful and unchanging nature of civilization can come across as unsettling to those unaccustomed. Once you have been welcomed here, it's like you never left. PATRONS↴  ► SUMMER FAE: Many carnival members have likely been given an unflattering view of Summer Court fae, given their actions back in Portland. However, despite the fae here being very similar in magical ability and physical form, they possess none of the maliciousness or aggression that their kindred have elsewhere. Their behaviour towards visitors is polite, if reserved, and will only be more courteous the more kindness you show towards them in return. A good deed receives a good deed in return, it seems - though it seems likely that the same would go for ill deeds, as well. Fae are predominantly humanoid, with supernaturally beautiful (if oddly samey) features and a variety of skin colours and superficial physical distinctions. The structure is always similar, though the colours and style vary wildly. Some have plants for hair, some have horns, some have small amounts of feathers or scales, placed in aesthetically pleasing manners. One major distinction is that about two thirds of the population have wings of various kinds, while the other third does not. Apparently this is a racial divide, among True Fae. In the Summer and Winter Courts, fae with wings are generally less powerful and considered of a lower class, working as servant to the higher caste. They also tend to be much smaller in body, appearing in forms as small as a cat all the way to a particularly short human. The Summer Fae will explain that these castes are not enforced within the Summerlands, but any further explanation will require some investigation. All True Fae go by titles rather than given names. However, some of these titles will shorten to things that sound like names. DANGERS↴  ► SUSPICIOUSLY... NOTHING?: The Summer Fae themselves may seem like enough of a threat, after what some witnessed in Portland. However, here, they seem to be perfectly civil, and claim no affiliation with the Summer Court you've just become familiar with. It's hard not to feel like there must be some kind of catch, or hidden ruse, but... maybe this place is actually as safe as it claims to be. REWARDS↴ Any specific rewards will be earned though exploration and NPC interactions. There are no huge mysteries lurking here, but it's possible to score some info about the carnival's metaplot if you ask the right questions. There may also be some random item opportunities, depending on how things go. CHANGES↴ No changes, at the moment. Wasn't getting retconned into a totally different person enough for one month? Beyond that, this is a PLOTTING POST, which means you can use it to make plans! The game chat is also a great place to discuss plots, so we welcome you to pop on in if you haven't already! A mingle log will be posted tomorrow. |
Rita Mordio
THINGS RITA WILL BE UP TO:
• Blowing off steam! Rita's frustrated as hell and will probably just want to go blow some things up with her magic to make herself feel better. Maybe she'll spend some time with those training dummies she built in the new training area.
• Maybe even brooding and being kind of homesick but if you ask about it she's gonna tsun so hard at you.
• Hugging her cat??? She hasn't seen him in so long :c
• Getting some new changes, including minor things like more fae marks and some feathers, but shortly after she'll get her rare change: a pair of feathered wings! Which... she might not use much, because she's actually scared of heights. Oops. I'll also hopefully be purchasing some new fire magic for her to play around with!
• She might try to get back into doing magic research, which will be helped by her new third eye ability!
OTHER THINGS I'M INTERESTED IN DOING WITH PEOPLE:
• Reconnecting with people she met, or got closer to, through the AU! This will be awkward as hell for her because she's not sure if those relationships are even real, but they give her feelings anyway. :c
• Blowing off steam together?? Does your character want to blow things up with Rita? Do they have something that can be safely blown up by her? Let's hang out.
• Is your character magic, or do they have magic possessions? Rita will want to analyze that!!
• Rita's gonna be pretty unpleasant with these Summer fae. Sympathize with her? Tell her to chill out and stop being so rude?
• Anything!!! I'm always happy to plot and get her out meeting new people and doing new things.

I put up a toplevel, but we can set up a specific scene for them if that works better!

Rita will gladly examine his magic once she's done freaking out over him being a walking skeleton -- she hasn't met Sans yet, either, so it's still a bit of a new concept to her.
