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.

Thanks to Envy's hard work, he's been painted and dressed to look like a scarecrow, his visage haunting in the uneven lights of the ring as he towers over the closer rows of circus goers, sweeping his gaze unblinkingly over them from beneath a large-brimmed straw hat. Perched on his left shoulder is a bat, who chitters and bares his fangs when he's turned toward the audience. On his left sits an Archen, his large beak snapping shut and opening at intervals, his body hunched over to give him the appearance of some prehistoric vulture instead of an actual Pokemon. Finally, hidden just behind the straw of Jimmy's deep collar sits a strange little ghost, whose ethereal body gives the appearance of smoke- perhaps the spirit of the living scarecrow stalking among the crowd- filtering from his neck.
Each time Jimmy reappears, he slips onto the ring through the bleachers themselves, sneaking past people with his entourage ever expanding. The second time he appears he's being followed by two large Volcarona, almost floating along behind him in quiet succession. Around their necks are chains that rattle ominously as they fly. The third time the rear is being brought up by a Breloom and a Goodra, the Goodra's slime having been strategically placed on the Breloom's body to give the appearance that he's potentially secreting some sort of deadly poison that shimmers beneath the circus lights.
When the show is over, Jimmy can be found standing outside of the tent to greet people and thank them for coming, his group of Pokemon all still with him. He really looks out of place now with a huge grin on his face and a friendly demeanor, as opposed to the show he put on before hand.]
no subject
You guys did a good job in there.
no subject
[He offers the boy and Regal a friendly wave, with his Archen and Noibat, Rocky and Pip, standing up a bit on his shoulders and waving their wings too. They're not scary, honest!]
Thank you! That was a whole lot of fun. I wish we could dress up like this for all of the shows!

[It was pretty fun, all things considered.]
no subject
[He's at least satisfied. Pokemon don't seem to mind being kept in the balls and he didn't see any signs of them being mistreated.]

And... well. If you guys ever need help with flying types, just ask me? I haven't been here all that long but I get along really well with birds. Regal is still a little too small to do a lot of tricks, but I've gotten a few of the others to do things.
no subject
Oh yeah? What kind of stuff can the others do?
[Now he's curious.]
no subject
Circle up!
[The five flutter into the air, forming a rough circle. He then pulls out another Pokeball, releasing one of the masked birds. He grabs it by the scruff of the neck before it can go too far and whistles sharply to get its attention.]
Nacho! Tuck and roll!
[The bird perks up and as he's released he takes a running jump and takes off, diving through the circle, doing a forward roll in the air, and landing neatly on the ground. He fluffs up with pride and the pink flock chirps happily before landing.]
no subject
Wow, that was great! Tobias, you should ask Joker if he'd let you do an act in the circus sometime! I bet he would!
no subject
I think Nacho in particular needs a little more training before we do anything like that. But maybe. I'm... I've never been great in front of crowds. I could definitely give you guys some tips if you wanted them, though. And it depends on Mimi and Gamzee - I've been traveling with them, and I don't want to bail on them right after we joined up.
[Regal flutters up to his shoulder again and Tobias adjusts his weight carefully.]

[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.]
no subject
[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.
no subject
Oh yeah, dinosaurs are neat! Did you get any of the ones that showed up last month?
no subject
[Regal chirps happily to Rocky as Nacho shifts uncomfortably. Tobias recalls him as well and puts him back in the bag.]
