Mod update
Now that Tempest has decided to let me exist in the world again, a little bit about the turn the Gala is about to take:
A second post is going to go up shortly, and this one will be set just before the dawn of the tenth day of the carnival. When the sun comes up, those at the carnival will find themselves neck-deep in fairies, everyone from the pixies to Kitsune herself, with plenty of strangers in between. They will play word games, share treats and drinks and gifts and perhaps secrets of the Wood, challenge you to puzzles and reward you if you win; those aligned with Kitsune will also try to ensnare you in the Carnival and keep you there past sunrise, and if they manage it, you're in for a very mad day.
Some time this week, someone will meet a particular fairy, and depending on how the conversation goes, this fairy may end up turning the Gala into a whole different kind of nightmare. He or she will attack the Gala with a horde of, for lack of a better word, minions, who will carry off every stranger to the wood and unaligned fairy they can get their hands and claws on. Those who get borne away will find themselves well beyond the reach of anyone who stayed at the barracks, and the newly-made prisoners will have to find their own means of escape.
For those who choose not to participate in this first plot, there will be another, smaller plot ongoing around the barracks during the interim. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have here. More details on both forthcoming!
