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.

Well that's okay! Just something to think about if you guys come back to Goldenrod any time soon. And I bet your friends would love to see you actually performing in one of the shows!

That's true. I'll keep on working with them. ... The Pokemon and my travel partners, I mean.

I know we don't, you moron!

[God, does he always have to take her so literally.]

But if the Psychic types are having a reaction like they know something's going to happen, it's probably not something that can be explained with science anyway.

[ here we have a clown— gamzee's outfit is especially a bit more clownier than usual, make-up clean with a touch of fright to fit the occasion! his sharpened teeth don't help much with making his image a little less creepy— but he probably looks like the friendliest creepy clown you'll cross paths with.

he's taken an interest in bobbing for apples, and once he's able, gamzee walks over to the stand, hands on the edges of the container as he looks down at the water and the floating fruits. haha, just look at how they all float.

soon enough, he's bending over and dunking his head into the water with little consideration towards the tiny splashes that could hit nearby people, as well as— well, all that make-up caked on his face. there's good news, though— he's oddly good at this. really good. in fact—

when he lifts himself back up, head drenched, hair soaked and make-up running, gamzee shows two apples in his mouth at once. have you ever seen a dog trying to hold too many tennis balls in its mouth? perhaps a person who just reached their limit during the marshmallow challenge? well, you're seeing something similar. ]


Aaaw yaaaaa, whuuuh—Puuh.

[ and he doesn't seem to be bothered with the way his mouth is spreading. his eyes are lazy and his expression, as much as he can show, is content. the carny, on the other hand, doesn't know whether he should gawk or laugh, and ends up doing both. his mime jr, miracle, who stands right at his feet, gives him an amused and happy encore, pointing up to one of the plushy prizes with excitement— he'd like the give that one to mimi!!!! toddling up to the prizes from gamzee's feet is another small thing— a scraggy, presumably one of gamzee's as well ( if the facepaint wasn't another giveaway— ), observing miracle, then looking up, wondering about his tiny crush on another yellow lizard. did girls like plush toys-? ( and was this a danger to his hardcore image??? ) ]

You'll do great, I'm sure! ...Speaking of, if you like birds...

[Jimmy takes a step closer, leaning so that his shoulder with Rocky on it is facing Tobias. The little dino-bird perks up a little, his tail swaying as he tilts his head at Tobias.]

This is Rocky! He's a Pokemon called Archen, and he's...more like a dinosaur than an actual bird, I think. Kindof a mix of the two maybe!

[Rocky puffs out his chest a little, nodding.]
wing_attack: (what)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-10-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there, Rocky.

[Tobias holds out a hand, waiting to see if Rocky moves in an aggressive way before giving him a quick pet along his back.]

Nice to meet you. ... I used to be really into dinosaurs when I was little.
soundmind: (Awkward ► Nah...naaaahhhh)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-10-15 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Like right now, there's his impression of a hamster."

But at least the awkward smile cracks into a more genuine one. Hey, it's not like she actually has a problem with the fact that Kirikou's making friends, it's a good thing, she just never expected a sophisticated lady to be one of them.

With introductions out of the way, however, Maka will scoot on back to the sidelines directly out of Lust's view.

"He talks about me, huh? I hope he hasn't said anything mean."

[He doesn't seem to mind at all and in fact very much enjoys the pets. His feathers are very colorful, and seem to be falling off onto Jimmy's shoulder once and a while. ...That's normal though, no worries.]

Oh yeah, dinosaurs are neat! Did you get any of the ones that showed up last month?
wing_attack: (neutral)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-10-15 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I got both of them. The T. Rex and the Amargasaurus or... whatever it is.

[Regal chirps happily to Rocky as Nacho shifts uncomfortably. Tobias recalls him as well and puts him back in the bag.]

[ he wants one of those headphones— it had to be purple of course, then it'd be all his . . . for him to blast all the death metal he so pleases without anyone complaining about the noise again—

problem is, skull has a few pickles. for one, he's really tiny; he's literally baby sized. he can't even get the attention of who's in charge of the stall, and getting ignored . . . really pisses him off. not only that, but he's being treated way too much like a kid for his tastes. seriously, did he look like he needed a cat face painted onto his gorgeous face??? no!

he's had enough of this back home, he didn't need more of it now! ]


H-hey! I saidHEY!

[ nothing. skull's patience thins and his anger boils to the point that he starts throwing something of a tantrum, making an irritated noise and angrily kicking the closest thing by him. whether it be someone's pokemon or someone's leg/shin— he doesn't notice right away, in the midst of rage seeing nothing but some kind of stupid pole in his way. and rather sharply at that, it's enough to cause a bruise. ]

God damn it— Don't ignore me!!!

They might mind her when I'm not around to control her.

[Ilya looks remarkably serious now, her expression a deep frown, but she's thinking the idea over.]

I'm actually rather worried about what she'd do if she got separated from me. I never leave any of my Pokemon for long.

[Beast's eyes, which had fluttered closed, screwed shut a bit tighter. Sniffed.

Opened.

Smiled a little but tried not to show it, and not to look too eager to take the plate.]


Same to ye. - Lunch, reckon.

[Okay, now she can take the plate. Nice and hot-

Stop it Joker, she's trying to be grumpy, here.]

[Al's been wandering the carnival, mostly just watching at this point with Beryl the Eevee trotting along beside him. He was actually just in time to catch Gamzee with his head in the water (oh man, so much for all that facepaint), and has to bite his lip when he comes back up with a double score. Once Alphonse has got himself under control he applauds, coming up next to Gamzee.]

I haven't ever seen someone manage to get two at once like that before!

Kizamime meanwhile is too lost in his song to notice that hungry stare but he stops in mid-whistle when he hears Ilya chastising Typhon. His only response is to tilt his head at the garchomp, his large ears twitching ever so slightly as his trainer moves to settle him on his shoulder. "It has been, yeah. I heard you singing and thought it sounded familiar... so I guess I wasn't too far from the truth." Yukio replies as soon as the dragonbat is settled back on his shoulder. "Were those songs from home? I recognized one as being distinctly German."

[ He can't help it. Like a peacock, he can't help but show off in front of the ladies. ]

99% of the time I do. Course, it's been a while so you prolly wouldn't believe the hoops I had to go throughto get my arm back in shape.

Fancy giving it a go?

"S'what they hired me to do when m'not spending my time here. Been newly taken in as Eve's resident knife thrower, really." he replied, turning his attention back to Gon after scanning the crowd a moment.

"My little Belle should be 'round... last I saw of her, she was handing samples out to the crowd. Botan wanted to get these new flavors tried out and I couldn't take it all myself. Have to watch my figure and all that."

Yeah? What happened to your arm?

[She works her mouth around a little bit, clearly intrigued by the prospect of "giving it a go", as offered.]

Are you gonna teach me how to throw it?

"It's not a poor impression of a hoarding rodent." Lust smiles a bit herself, feeling less nervous now that the initial meeting's done.

"No, he's spoken quite well of you." Certainly not poorly. "You're very good friends, yes?"

Another new experience Lust was only recently beginning to navigate. Of course there was Greed, but Greed was like her. They knew each other and understood each other without having to even know one another. It was different than making friends with other people.

[Lust has had quite the adventure between the Haunted House and the circus. And as the evening winds to a close, she makes her way back to the staff only area - without any care, she more or less joined the circus itself earlier - to find Envy.

He isn't hard to find. She imagines he must be exhausted, considering how early he started his day.]

Cool! I just got the T-Rex, but they're both really neat, aren't they?
