Welcome to the Carnival

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

Inesa smiled. She wasn't bothered by Ivy's question. "Thank you. My natural form is comprised of magic like this one but this form limits the flow between me and the world around me. It is... fluid, some would say." It was really hard for her to explain but she was trying her best. "I have been told that my eyes are purple and my hair turns very white. My skin is also translucent. Though my form can seem human it is not exactly. It shifts freely like the wind or light."

She gently tapped her chin. "I hope that makes sense. It is a bit hard to describe and it is unsafe to show you."

"That sounds like it'd be beautiful," and a part of her wanted to see it. The follow up confirmation by Inesa that it wouldn't really be possible to show her only confirmed there wasn't much of a reason to ask. Even if she was really curious now.

"It's too bad it's unsafe."

Inesa giggled. "If I can ever learn to control it I will let you know. Perhaps it could help too." If she released her current form she'd have more access to her magic as it wouldn't be used to keep her in the form known as Inesa.

"I believe I have remained in this depressing place for too long. I really enjoyed speaking to you. I hope we have a chance to talk again." She didn't like the carnival after learning of its horrors and it hurt to remain so close when it felt like there was nothing she could do to change it.

"Mm," she gave a little nod and bit down on her lower lip. "I hope you do figure something out." She knew what it was like to not have control.

"I enjoyed it too," she smiled before looking down again a bit awkwardly. "I hope the rest of your night finds you in a less depressing place." Ivy couldn't help but hope for that herself.
unknownmoirai: (yes?)

"You as well." Inesa smiled and lifted her hand in a gentle wave before turning and heading back into the crowds that occupied the fair's main thoroughfare. She had a lot of things to think about but it was comforting to know that she wasn't alone.
