DAWNBREAKING PARTY
IC Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

The sun has risen on a new year - a year closer to Daybreak’s ultimate confrontation, but a new year all the same. Instead of the customary welcome assembly and speech for students in January, the administration has decided to celebrate the students’ achievements of thwarting two Heralds, and thus ensuring that the sun can continue to rise at all.

Soleil’s local amusement park, the Radiant Carnival, has been reserved for the Academy’s use on January 10th - which means free, unlimited reign of the park’s features and amenities, often with some further magical twists.


A. Welcoming Feast
Those who have attended the Academy before will by now be familiar with the kind of lavish spread Daybreak puts on for their start-of-year banquet, and the fare is as sumptuous as usual. The presentation comes with a twist, however - given that the party is hosted in the amusement park, the food has been laid out as an extensive buffet that students and staff can visit throughout the day, changing to new selections at certain hours to match the time of day.

The usual selection of drinks - both nonalcoholic and not - has also been made available through a combination of serving staff (for alcohol) and enchanted self-serve machinery (for anything else), allowing the possibly-inadvisable decision of mixing as many drinks as you can possibly get your hands on.

B. Amusement Park
For those who haven’t been to the Radiant Carnival before, it’s a colourful and magical sight - due to support from the Academy and the profit it turns from being one of the few places where the veil is more loosely enforced, it’s perpetually a bright spot, even in the winter landscape. Offering everything from the high-octane thrills of rollercoasters and drop towers to more sedate attractions like riverboat rides and merry-go-rounds, there’s no end to the entertainment that the Carnival provides - if an amusement park ride is reasonably common, the Carnival is sure to have it.

If amusement park rides aren’t to your tastes, there are also alleys and corners where people can gather for more traditional carnival games or - for those who prefer more technological pursuits, an arcade with everything from crane games and photobooths to high-tech game cabinets both enchanted and not. For those who want something more quiet, there’s space to sit and admire frozen water features, peaceful winter gardens, and even a castle to explore made from ice.

There’s bound to be something for everyone at the Radiant Carnival - or, at least, it aims to reach that standard.

C. Fireworks Show
As the day draws to a close and the sun sets, fireworks begin to burst in intricate patterns and vibrant colours in the darkening sky. While seating and rugs have been set up for convenience in the best places to watch the show from, those who are more daring might very well be able to secure a chance to set off some of these special fireworks themselves.

Or you can just bring your own and fire them off from somewhere else within the park, if you find the Academy’s selection lacking - though the administration will likely frown on it, if you’re caught.

D. Wildcard

The Radiant Carnival is open and free, at least for the day, to all of Daybreak’s attendees. Why not take advantage of it?

[Quite frankly, Lia's fascinated just watching Leo do his thing. She watches him study a machine for some rhythm game, sipping at a soda.]

Tweaking how? If you don't mind me asking.

[septimo_rueda]

[ Oh, hey, it's the cutie.

Leo flashes her a grin and very gently pats the machine. ]

Uhh... easiest way to put it [ no offense to her - just she doesn't seem to know machine speak ] is the timing seems a little off. I think it's just a loose wire. Easy fix.

[ So it's just the simple matter of making sure he won't get thrown out for trying to do something about it. ]

[buddinghopes]

[She can follow up to a point, but she really does appreciate the use of layman's terms there.]

Well, it's a good thing you picked up on it. Since. Yeah. Timing, rhythm games. Y'know.

[septimo_rueda]

[ He learned his lesson from the last time he tried spelling things out to a person, and all they did was Stare Blankly. ]

Right! I'm about ninety-nine-point-nine percent sure it'll be a matter of taking care of a little wiring, but...

[ Gesturing! ]

Can't have someone thinking I'm just here to break stuff, sooo...

[ Flashing her a grin. He's... half-kidding - ehhh... one-fifth kidding?

... Look, he's not gonna say he's serious about this, but he's also not... not gonna say he's serious about this. ]

Wanna play distraction if anyone does show up?

[buddinghopes]

[She nods.]

Lookout and distraction. You got it.

[Lia.]

[septimo_rueda]

[ He absolutely brightens at that, grinning from ear to ear. ]

I'm naming my next creation? After the Great Lia.

[ Leo plz....... ]

All right! It'll just take... a few minutes? Maybe five at most.

[ Nodding! ]

Ready whenever you are.

[buddinghopes]

[She turns a bit pink and giggles. Leo plz indeed.

She returns the nod with another of her own, expression shifting into a determined grin.]

I'm ready!
