Welcome to the Carnival

Where; The Circus Complex and Green Northwest of the City
When; Mid-March
Warnings; None as of yet!


Welcome to the Carnival
A MULTI-DAY AND MULTI-NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVAGANZA!
That is precisely how the advertising banners draw the curious in to the circus complex outside the city, and they do not disappoint. Visitors will be welcomed and told to enjoy themselves, thanked for their patronage, and even given a welcome gift: a small, folding mirror in a box as a door prize. Along with the mirror is a hand-written note in silver ink, written in elegant script.

If you use me before sleep, you will certainly dream of what might have been!


Visitors to the grounds anytime of the day or night will be drawn in by the colorful lights and whimsical sounds of the carnival that dominates both the park and the Circus itself. There are fair rides on the midway. Yes, that's right. Actual, honest to goodness rides. Some are probably familiar, which others are completely alien. There is a Ferris wheel, a haunted house, a house of mirrors to name a few, as well as whatever you as players may want to dream up. If riding fair rides isn't your style, there is an entire shopping district of craftsman hawking wares, food galor to be found (ranging from exotic meals to typical carnival food) as well as enough alcohol to keep everyone well and truly intoxicated for their stay at the carnival.

There is an entire galley of carnival games as well, if winning that special someone an stuffed animal or new pet (think a brand new goldfish) is more your style. You can show off your skills in the shooting range, try to land rings around moving poles, try to guess the number of marbles in one very large jar, and anything else you're welcome to dream up! It seems the visiting clerks here like to change their games up, so now two trips to the galley of games will ever be the same!

The caller outside the sideshow might try to entice visitors in to his gallery of oddities and here things get very interesting. It seems something like a zoo, or a freak show if you want to call it that (and it may make some players and characters uncomfortable). There are creatures in residence from any number of worlds, be their your own or creatures (or races) pulled from other media. The features of the sideshow also seem to change every time it's visited. You may want to go back several times to see if you can share something you've seen with someone else. You might even be successful!
THE MAIN EVENT
Over the several days of the carnival, there are regularly scheduled showed, either in open-air stages or under Big Tops, and they range from magic shows (that use real magic), or stunt demonstrations (that even use motorcycles, which is odd. Has anyone ever seen a motorcyle around here?) to wild animal acts, acrobats, and even clown shows! The tend to change, any they're repeated regularly so you're sure to see something you came to see! There's no limit to the number of times a show can be seen, either, so bring your friends!
DON'T FORGET THE FOOD

"Mmm, I'd never taken you as someone that liked to brag before." But maybe she'd been wrong. Or maybe she should pay more attention to the warning signs. Unfortunately, he logical brain had almost completely been replaced by her vampire brain. That brain was all desire and instinct and the pheromones of power, lust, and intrigue that his man seemed to exude. This had been the entire reason Piscary had kept her from actually ever being a Runner. If she'd been a Runner she'd have gone out into the field and encountered all sorts of criminals, people that would have exuded similar traits and she'd have learned to not let it overwhelm her. To not let them overtake her.

He hadn't wanted that though, and so we were here.

"If it was, what would you do?"

"Bragging suggests I'm compensating for something." Which he wasn't. He did have a lot of raw power, and he'd recently been practicing using it more effectively. He'd been holding himself back for too many years. It was nice to let go.

"That is going to greatly depend on where you think the night might take us, Ivy."

"And you're definitely not, are you?" She asked with a slight arch of her eyebrow and sarcastic tone to match. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Something told her she probably shouldn't push that, but she was a bit curious about how he might react to the question.

"I'm not sure I had any expectations involving you tonight. Someone else maybe, but I hadn't expected to run into you."
