Rating: PG
Log:

It's that time everyone's been waiting for! Time to put that nasty train robbery behind everyone. After all, haven't you heard?




Throughout the streets of Goldenrod, folks will find all sorts of colorful characters and Pokemon about. Fliers and the like have been regular this last month or so, 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.

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 few days!

Bad things stay the same, but so do good things.

[Maka that is a silly thing to say.] You can call on me if you like, I know a few different ways to take down interlopers, and I've got someone else with me too that's just the same. We went to the same school. [Or...are going to the same school, but the Academy isn't here so she can't exactly say that.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Nah, good things come and go and change all the time.]

At least your classmates seem sensible! It's settled then, Big Sis Maka... if I ever put up a performance, I might just reserve a seat for you.

But the warning still applies to you too! You don't seem like a hypocrite, but I'll have to reiterate that. [Schools. Yes. Certainly A Thing.] Who's this other person?

[soundmind]

No, no, I'll be totally engaged and supportive! I looked up how to put on a kimono too a long time ago--we have cultural festivals sometimes in our city--and I know it's not an easy thing to do by yourself, so I can help with that too if you want.

[As for Kirikou, well...]

His name's Kirikou Rung; about so tall--[she raises her hand slightly above her head]--wears glasses, has burn scars on his arms. He's a meathead and obsessed with dancing, but he's a good guy.

[konpeitoqueen]

[...Kiri...kou...]

Ugh, that guy! I met him at Prom. [And danced with him. 8| ] His Western dancing style was decent, I guess. But he was pushy about dancing with me! He threw my Mawile aside and everything!

[Despite the fact Saionji did promise that he could dance if he could get past her Mawile...]

[soundmind]

...[Now she knows Kirikou has been having difficulties with adjusting to the whole Pokemon idea, but--]

He takes things literally sometimes. Are you sure you didn't say something like "get past my Mawile first"?

All the boys in my school are dumb, even the "smart" ones. You can't trust them to not go full macho on something.

[konpeitoqueen]

Huh. Well, I'll have to give you credit, you're pretty spot-on.

[That doesn't make her distaste disappear, though. In fact, it just grows larger. What a stupid pig. >8C ] Well, people in general tend to be stupid at this age, but boy especially! They do mature slowly, after all. It's only to be expected.

[soundmind]

Where I'm from, if you don't investigate something closely you'll probably die.

[Pleasant.] And they're controlled exclusively by their libidos, it's totally disgusting. I can't stand them sometimes.

[konpeitoqueen]

[...TBH IT'S KINDA TRUE FOR SAIONJI TOO

JUST FOR A BIT]

Really, Big Sis Maka? Then how did the boys even survive? Or did they rely on those more mature with actual critical thinking skills to live? Kyahahah!

[soundmind]

They definitely did, sometimes I feel like it's only the good sense of girls that keeps those idiots alive. [After all, when left alone with other boys, what do they do? Go fight giants and strip naked, that's what.

...Canon is a special thing.]

Well, anyway. Don't feel bad about punishing him if he bothers you again, I get pretty annoyed with his insistence on dancing too. [She turns over the doll she got for herself and points to the middle of its back.] If you go here--[she pinches and twists a bit of it quickly; it looks like something that would be painful if it were a person.] And do that, it'll hurt really bad and cause a bruise. Use it wisely.

[Poor Maka, she still doesn't realize she's talking to a tiny sadist.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[...kcan]

Really? Even I didn't know that... well, I hope I won't have to use it anytime soon. Thanks for the tip, Big Sis Maka!

[WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MAKA] I think I'll go see the other booths now, though. I'll see you later, then?

[soundmind]

Mhm! I should probably go find Kirikou anyway, I don't want him getting lost. Nice meeting you, Saionji, feel free to give me a call if you feel like talking!

[Literally she will believe everyone is good until proven otherwise, unfortunate part of being an idiot shonen protagonist.]
