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

It piqued his scholarly curiousity.
But once the new darts were placed in front of him, the advisor picked one up, wishing he had Noct's or better yet Prompto's precision with them. Picking one up, he did manage to hit his mark and he smiled to Jagger.
"And now it is your turn."
no subject
The ghost of a smirk teased at the corner of Jagger's lips but it was the only indication he was amused by Ignis' curiosity. The other man wasn't the first who'd taken an academic curiosity in his abilities and he wouldn't be the last.
As far as an ability that wasn't related to anything supernatural, Jagger wasn't agile, strong, or graceful, but he could aim. He wasn't exactly a darts player, but actually mini golf. It was a long story, don't ask. But he watched Ignis intently, how he sized up the shot, and he did his best to replicate it. He missed his mark, but only barely.
He'd do better next time. "Your move, mate."
no subject
Ignis' green eyes watched as the other missed and heard that it was his turn. Again he wished he had Prompto's aim or even Noct's. Or, he could've participated with them, but darts were really more of a sausage waving contest between them with bragging rights as the prize.
Speaking of prizes, he gazed up at the plush and nodded at Jagger, taking aim with his dart. It managed to land a little closer to the center this time but not by much. "Well, it's improved some."
no subject
After they'd moved away from the stand, Jagger turned to his coincidental partner. "Thanks, mate. For the assist, I mean."
(OOC: I really have no idea how to play darts.....so I hope it's okay if I just summarize things. If not, shoot me a message and I can change it)
no subject
Turning towards Jagger once he spoke, Ignis smiled with a nod. "I was quite happy to help out since I happened to be in the neighbourhood so to speak." But then he spotted a familiar beloved head of dark hair and he smiled. "I hope she enjoys it, and I bid you a good evening, as I see my own other half coming towards us."
