7th Act - Boys and girls of every age

Who: Come one, come all!
Where: Goldenrod, the Eve's Garden Circus
When: The 11th - 13th
Summary: Just like always, the Circus is busy as usual... But with a bit of a spooky twist added on thanks to their current partnership with a certain Haunted House.
Rating: PG
Log:



The Circus is always bustling with activity, even on the days when the shows in the Big Top aren't on. There's plenty of stalls to enjoy besides those, after all! Games, and food, and stalls with all sorts of interesting things for sale. For those living in Goldenrod or passing through, it's no doubt quickly settled itself as a regular scene.

On the 11th, however... Just as always when the shows are promised to happen, the Circus is more bustling than usual and today there's a twist. On the 11th, those walking past the Circus' gates will find themselves in QUITE the different atmosphere. Genuine spider webs are strung across the stalls, skulls strung up in them that seem to clack their teeth at passerby. legions of pumpkins are sprawled throughout the area. At night, and on the foggy day of the 13th, their eerie glow lights up twisting paths throughout the circus grounds. Even quite a few of the workers seem to have gotten into the spirit (possibly at their boss' badgering), and wear outfits from the simple masks to the more complex things.

Beyond the change in atmosphere, however, there are still the things that are usually about! Food, games, and stalls selling various knickknacks can all be found relatively easy although they're joined by a few other themed goods. There's also, of course, the show that will be playing three times a day in the big tent proper!

One notable addition is what appears to be a small station of sorts with a rather ominous carriage that stops at it every now and then pulled by what appear to be a pair of Rapidash... only colored darkly with bones painted across their heads and what might be actual skulls acting as face covers. Well then! Perhaps you might be interested in letting it take you to Jack's Haunted House?

So relax. Have fun! And cross your fingers that you're not terrified of scary clowns and giant spiders.

Alphonse and Edward have had quite a good time wandering around the carnival, watching some of the shows and checking out the booths. If they have to wile away their time while Winry is working, this certainly isn't a bad place to do it

Eventually they find their way over to the games, and Al looks up at the Test Your Strength machine. After a moment he grins and glances over to Ed. "Bet you can't get it up to the top."

Ed would have really wanted to explore the carnival more with Winry as well, but it couldn't be helped when she had work to do. At least he could hang out with his brother, which was also a very good way to spend time.

As they pass the games, Ed stops when Al does and look over at the game mentioned. Oh, really now? He grins. "I'll take you on", he said as he approached the machine, waiting for the guy there to give out the normal instructions.

Al laughed and walked over to the side to wait his turn--there was no way he wasn't going to take a shot at it as well! Beryl the Eevee hopped his way up to Al's shoulder, tail swishing as he watched the attendant give Ed his instructions and hand over the mallet. It's pretty heavy, as one would expect, but it wouldn't be an easy feat to get that weight in the machine all the way up...

There was no such thing as something too heav-- oof, this mallet was pretty heavy. Though not heavy enough to make Ed quit here! So off he goes, smacking the machine with it and the mark reached... a little under the top. Wait what?

"HEY! That's not where it should be!!"

Al watches the weight sail up, and starts laughing when it just barely misses the bell at the top. "Tough luck, Brother!"

The game operator only offers a shrug, and waves Alphonse over for his turn.
