You know what's better than a regular birthday? The birthday of a circus.
Throughout the streets of Goldenrod, folks will find all sorts of colorful characters and Pokemon about. Fliers and the like have been regular eve since the Circus started up a year ago, but the advertising is in full force today just to make it EXTRA apparent that today is the day. Another hint is all the air traffic in the skies- various Flying-type Pokemon that make up the Circus' transportation service. Who knows? Maybe you're one of those using it today!
And of course, who can miss the colorful spectacle that is the circus itself? Past the entrance gate (which will let you onto the circus grounds for a miniscule fee) are dozens and dozens of stalls and little tents. Looming over them is the main tent itself, a monstrosity of bright welcoming colors. There are all sorts of things amongst their ranks, but it's generally fairly easy to find what you're looking for as Pidgey of a feather flock together and all that... From games of all sorts like the usual carnival games to more of a retro arcade, to a set of shops with local crafts and maybe something from the foreign trainers.... Of course, there's also all sorts of food stalls and even shacks for more filling stuff.
There's even a Litleo hunt going on today! Catch one, win a prize!
With all that alone, you could probably keep busy for most of the day! But surely you aren't forgetting the Big Act?
Yep, the big acts in the Big Top. Times are posted both at the front gate, on fliers you can pick up here and there, and by the entrance to the large tent. For each day, there will be three shows! Better hope you can snag a ticket before they get sold out... Although maybe you'll get lucky for the next show. Or the next day....
Either way, it promises to be a fun weekend!

Game Stalls!
But what you're more likely to be looking at is in front of the booth, where a little Snubbull is rubbing her biceps as if pushing up sleeves. She hefts the hammer and tests the weight.]
[Blake advises] Choke up on it. Yeah, that's it.
[He gestures with a piece of bacon as she eyes the target.]
Don't just use your arms. You gotta put your back into it.
no subject
[So says the ginger who's come wandering down the row of stalls, chewing on an elephant ear and accompanied by a Mienshao trotting along at his side.]
Make gravity work for you, not against you.
no subject
[He tilts his head toward Steve, who is nodding in intense concentration at the redheaded man's advice. She only has one shot and she's determined to make it count.]
She's got her heart set on one of those.
[He jerks his thumb toward the giant stuffed hedgehog-things hung on the booth's wall.]
I told her I'd just buy her one if she wanted it so much, but...[He shrugs.] You know how girls are.
no subject
Are you kidding? The girls I know would be whining for their man to win one for them. Good on yours for going after what she wants herself.
[And he lowers down onto one knee without missing a beat, more on Steve's level as he continues to offer his encouragement.]
Remember, listen to what he said. Put all your weight into it, and follow through with the swing. Don't aim to hit the target, aim like you want to hit the ground beneath it.
no subject
[The guy with the green mohawk running the game is perfectly clean, thank you very much.
Blake's finishing off the bacon and wiping his fingers on his pants as Steve takes a deep breath and hefts the hammer. She brings it down on - as Dietrich says, the ground beneath the target - with all the might in her 100 levels and tiny arms.]
[DING!]
[The bell rings out loud and proud. Steve tosses her hands up victoriously, and Blake lets out a triumphant hah!]
no subject
[Triumphant himself on Steve's behalf, he gets back to his feet and dusts his knees off with a lazy grin splitting his face.]
You got yourself a real slugger there, Mr. President.
[He eyes the games and their related prizes, and the operators who are presumably in charge of handling them.]
You taking a turn, or am I up next?
no subject
Of course she can.
That puts Blake in a pretty damn good mood. He knew his dog was tough.] Damn right. She may be little and cute, but she hits like a truck full of rocks.
[He rolls his shoulders and shoots Dietrich a grin.] That depends. You want me to win you something?
no subject
Maybe I do. What're you gonna do if I say yes?
[He waggles his eyebrows to give it the necessary element of light teasing, but on the whole the question is actually a pretty genuine one.]
no subject
Win the fuck out of it for you is what.
no subject
Well, shit, I'm not about to say no to free shit. I want the giant-ass lion thing.
no subject
[Steve adjusts her grasp on the stuffed Shaymin so she can pump her little fist.
Blake's not gonna embarrass himself here. He brings the hammer down with everything he's got.
Ding!
(It's not as loud as Steve's was, though.)]
no subject
Especially not this guy, who's about to get handed the giant-ass stuffed lion of his dreams by a guy who's definitely clean but sure doesn't look it.]
Yeah! Well, shit, now I almost feel like I have to go a turn just so I'm not the odd man out.
[He says, flashing a grin.]
no subject
Winning prizes for somebody is one of those cheesy-ass things guys do for girlfriends in shitty 80s movies. Sure you can win one for your buddy too. Who says you can't?
He offers the hammer to him.] You can give it a shot if you feel like. It's no cakewalk, though. [He casts his eye over Dietrich's lanky build.] You might not have the shoulders for it.
no subject
[Laughing, he offers the lion to Steve with one hand as he reaches for the hammer with the other.]
Hang on to this for me, will you, sweetheart? Somebody thinks I'm gonna need both hands for this one.
Ahh sorry missed the notif!

I'm just gonna bug you with molly forever
Hi, mister Blake.
[So why not do exactly that! She comes up to him easily enough although stops at a polite distance, her Growlithe Ember staying close to her leg.]
molly can always bug him <3
He remembers that dream. You say a lot more than you mean to, when you're asleep.
He'll just try to forget about that and manage as friendly a look as his face can make.] Hey, Molly. You here to see the circus?
[Steve's ears prick up, and she sets down the hammer to wave. Hello!]
no subject
Yeah! One of my friends is in it.
Is that why you're here too?
no subject
Nah, just came over because Steve saw a flyer and wanted to come. If I'd said no she would've chewed up my shoes.
[The Snubbull's ears twitch and she bull!s indignantly. She would never do such a thing! Your shoes taste terrible.
A trace of concern appears on Blake's face.]
Are you friends with a clown?
no subject
[She's clearly caught off guard by the question though, and frowns in thought.]
I don't think so ... why?
Are you scared of clowns?
[That's not malicious in any way, she just doesn't see why else he'd ask and look worried.]
no subject
Blake shakes his head.] Me? Nah, of course not.
[A wary look comes over his face.] I just don't trust them.
