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.

[Lust sat herself on the edge of a table, crossing her ankles. She knew it was likely that Envy would have seen the company she was keeping over the weekend, and wonders for a moment just how closely he was paying attention. But if he's not going to mention anything, neither is she.]

No need to sneak, I've joined the circus. I don't suppose you know anyone who wants to be the other half of a trapeze act?

Okay, I wanna try, then.

[She says, putting out her hand eagerly.]

Show me how.

[Fortunately, Envy went around costume stores and got familiar with all the 'traditional' Halloween monsters.]

That's the one with the green skin, stitches, and bolts in the neck?

Did somebody say dressing up?! Because Cynthia had put together a sweet Masked Avenger costume and was showing that thing off!

...admittedly it was basically just her normal armor with a black cape and a black mask, but hey, it was still early in the season! She could add more later! For now, though, she was just going to run around like that and oh snap pumpkin carving.

Halloween was new to her, but darn, all this stuff looked like fun! He would... go ahead and plop herself down at a pumpkin carving table near them, looking at it intently... and planning her work of art!

...Try to stay with me here, but you know Miss Sabrina? The Gym leader over in Saffron? She's a very powerful psychic, one time she accidentally resurrected a bunch of fossil Pokemon.

[Yep.]

And that "happening" last Halloween...a lot of people fell into comas. I didn't, so I don't know exactly what they saw, but some people said it was some kind of "nightmare castle" and they felt like they were fighting for their lives in it.

Whatever it is, if the Psychic types are getting upset about it, it might be something either to do with Miss Sabrina or something she might be sensing too. Times like this I really wish I still had my Soul Perception.

[Perhaps it's for the best, Hermes.]

So it would seem...

[Though it's better than squashing Maka or her Pokemon, honestly.]

I see your lion evolved too...that must mean a lot of these new Pokemon have other forms we don't know about yet.
unkinder: (☆ but I've seen despair here)

BOOP hope you don't mind a super late backtag

[During the bustle of people and Pokemon moving in and out of the different tents, someone unfamiliar at first glance can be seen hiding behind a nearby corner, watching Joker as he lies across the chair. It's not the young boy he battled with, rather one of his Pokemon, a small Kirlia who had somehow managed to sneak away to the circus while her trainer was training his Hoothoot.

But now that she's here....she's not sure what to do. She's really beginning to regret even coming, and now she just contemplates leaving and rushing back, hoping that maybe she'll be able to get back to his room before he notices she's gone.]
unkinder: (☆ does anybody ever feel like)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-10-17 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The Kirlia jumps slightly at the sudden appearance of the taller Pokemon, shrinking down a little as she looks up at them with wide eyes. She always was nervous as a Ralts, and that didn't seem to change much when she evolved.

At first she doesn't answer, unable to move or say anything as she stares at them both.]


...I'm...I shouldn't be here.
soundmind: (Disgust ► A thousand times no)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-10-17 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Heck if I know, I think she was trying to do some unrelated ritual to talk to spirits and ended bringing them up instead. This is why you shouldn't mess around with ghosts, in my opinion.
unkinder: (☆ waiting for an answer I don't know)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-10-17 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods...then shakes her head.]

I'm sorry. I really...shouldn't be here.

[Yet she doesn't move, rooted to the spot. The aura she's giving off helps somewhat- it reminds her of what Neba does to help her calm down. It also reminds her that he's probably worried sick back at the base...but no, he's with Nagi right? But he wasn't training Neba...

Thinking about all of this just makes her more anxious and causes her to shake her head again, taking a small step back.]
unkinder: (☆ now I'm sitting alone here)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-10-17 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Um...well...

[She shifts a little, rubbing her hands together as she averts her gaze for a moment.]

My trainer doesn't know I'm here, so....I'm worried he'll be concerned.

[...more than concerned, really.]
unkinder: (☆ but I will hold my head up high)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-10-17 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She wants to say "No, not really, I plan on going back..." but....technically yeah, she kinda did.

She looks up at that, though, tilting her head.]


...Really?
unkinder: (☆ I have this feeling in my gut now)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-10-17 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
She stayed? ...a-and her trainer didn't mind?

[She can't imagine Nagi being so lenient, especially with his insistence on her working with him using her telekinesis.]
soundmind: (Stern ► more judging faces)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-10-17 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt anybody will actually know, even if they did they probably wouldn't tell us "foreigners."

[A pause, she hasn't heard about the crystals in a long time. She's vaguely aware that some people kept them, but--]

I didn't keep one, so I don't know. But if they're talking about them, that might mean they're becoming active again. I'll have to ask Twilight if she knows anything about it.
soundmind: (Query ► Did you even study?)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-10-17 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe! [And she calls back Hermes into his ball so he doesn't try to jump on anything else.] I was just training them because that's...pretty much what I usually do in my downtime and Sekhmet and Hermes ended up evolving. Kirikou has two of those cats that rained down a while back, too, and they also evolved. They seem to have different forms based on their gender.
