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.

[Typhon's response to that is to glare silently at Joker for a few seconds, then turn that same glare on Ace, who she has decided is an obnoxious little beast that she really wants to punt, but doesn't want to get too close to.]

And I forbid you to use Fire Fang on him.

[Ilya's command proceeds to short-circuit the poor dragon, and she flops to the ground to sulk. Ilya sighs.]

She'll be pouting for a few minutes while she makes up her mind. Best to let her be.

[pipers_son]

[Joker and Ace both seem to blatantly ignore the glare- they've both gotten their fair share of worst, god only knew.]

Well, the break'll do me and my lot good, so we can spare a lil' time for waitin'.

[dressofheaven]

We appreciate your patience.

[Typhon just huffs while Ilya gives a smile that's clearly meant to tease her, and is just as clearly working.]

So, I've yet to see these two in the acts. Did I just miss them, or do they not have roles yet?

[pipers_son]

I have some things planned for the future, but for right now, they help with some a my troupe in the back. Especially with all the fire that was goin' on for today's show, some a the Pokemon are feelin' the heat!

[Sapphire gives a low agreeing rumble, nodding her head.]

[dressofheaven]

I imagine they all could do with a little cooling down, yes.

[She chuckles a bit and reaches out to pet Sapphire's head.]

[pipers_son]

[Sapphire leans into Ilya's palm, even chillier than the fall air already is.]

Imagine it won't be too much of a problem as we head inta the winter days... At least if they ain't as strange as the rest a the year has been.

[dressofheaven]

[She pulls back her hand long enough to put on an immaculate white glove, then goes back to petting.]

Don't jinx us now. In this world, who knows what might happen.

[pipers_son]

Ta be perfectly honest? I think someone jinxed us a long while ago with all the strange happenin's a late.

[dressofheaven]

Oh I'm sure there's a reason for it.

The reason might not make much sense once we figure it out, mind, but I'm sure there is one.

[pipers_son]

If only we could be blessed for a normal year, eh?

[He hasn't even been here for a year himself, but oh he's heard stories.]

[dressofheaven]

I'm pretty sure if that actually happened, it'd wind up being boring.

[Ilya you have a strange definition of what counts as "exciting".]

[pipers_son]

Now, I'm hurt! Are ya sayin' that I couldn't liven things up?

[The grin on his face is teasing.]

[dressofheaven]

Not on your own, you couldn't! You need the rest of us.

[And her own grin could be described as mischievous.]

[pipers_son]

Heh... I suppose there ain't any denyin' that.

[dressofheaven]

I'd be annoyed if you tried to deny it. But look at it this way. You're never alone here.

[pipers_son]

[That seems to catch him off guard for a second before he ducks his head down and tips his hat to hide the small grin he makes.]

Nah, suppose I'm not.

[dressofheaven]

[Is... is he actually embarrassed? That's adorable. She giggles warmly and hops out of her chair, having just finished her drink.]

Just don't forget it. Well, I'm getting back out to the stage. Come on, Typhon! You're on again!

[Typhon grunts in acknowledgement and goes to shuffle after her trainer, giving one last untrusting glance at Ace and Sapphire.]
