Log:

You know what's better than a regular birthday? The birthday of a circus.




Throughout the streets of Goldenrod, folks will find all sorts of colorful characters and Pokemon about. Fliers and the like have been regular eve since the Circus started up a year ago, 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.

There's even a Litleo hunt going on today! Catch one, win a prize!

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 weekend!

RELEASE THE HORDE

[occultigen]

[As avowed during an earlier conversation with Joker, here's Meridiana, turned out and determined to get her hands on one of those Litleo. Which...may be a little easier vowed than done, given that she's not at all athletic and long skirts aren't exactly conducive to a lot of running, but she's pretty determined to have at it even so, and is wandering the grounds in the hopes of spotting a particularly docile (or slow) one for a chance at a prize.]

[pipers_son]

[Turns out that it's a bit easier than Meridiana might think to catch sight of the Litleo horde! Because up ahead, suddenly bursting out from inbetween some of the stalls, are a good half dozen of the little cubs. It's almost like a stampeded as they rush across from one line up of stalls to the next in a chorus of tiny little roars and maybe some hissing and spitting.]

[It happens pretty quick, but lagging behind and stopping in the middle of the path is Ella the Litleo who makes a series of upset noises at her siblings retreating backs. GUYS CALM DOWN ALREADY, GOSH.]

[It doesn't seem like she's noticed Meridiana just yet, however...]

[occultigen]

[Oh, good lord. It's strange, really, because from a competitive standpoint the thought process that really ought to be going through her mind is "aha, now there's the one to catch, the one lagging behind", but in reality she really just finds herself feeling a bit sorry for the poor dear.

It's hard being the one too slow and left out of the pack, isn't it?

That said, she's probably slow enough for Meridiana to follow, so she starts moving in closer, carefully staying out of sight range as best she can and waiting for a chance to make a dash.]

[pipers_son]

[Ella keeps trotting along in vain effort to keep up, but eventually she seems to give a little huff and starts to investigate some areas inbetween the stalls. Looks like she's trying to find a place to squeeze into and nap.]

[Might be a good grab time!]

[occultigen]

[WHAT A CHANCE! She's gotta go for it.

Hitching her skirt a little to make sure it stays well out of her way, she readies herself a minute and then charges to close the distance, bending low to make a grab for that collar.]

[pipers_son]

[Thanks to sharp kitty hearing, the Litleo jerks her head up before realizing what's going on, and tries to make a lunge to get inside the space she was examining. Time to escape!]

[....Or not, because Ella soon realizes that the space between stalls is far too narrow for even her kitty flexibility. She gets stuck halfway through, hindlegs scrabbling before she gives up and starts to make pitiful meows.]

[HELP]

[occultigen]

[OH NO

The poor thing, it almost doesn't seem fair to grab for the ribbon now, what with her all caught up and trapped like that. Which doesn't mean Meridiana's not still going to go for it if and when she gets the chance, but kind-hearted priorities dictate that she really ought to go for the rescue first.]

Oh — do hold still, I'll just be a minute getting you free!

[Is there something she can move to help out here, or...?]

[pipers_son]

[Just another pitiful meow answers Meridiana. There is no objection here, honestly. Being stuck is horrible. Horrible.]

[It should be possible to get the poor little Litleo out with a bit of tugging and wiggling, however. She's only stuck inbetween the stalls halfway- her hind part leaves plenty of room to be grabbed so long as one is mindful of her back claws.]

[occultigen]

[Fortunately, since coming here she's come into the possession of a few big cats of her own, and she's well-equipped to wriggle this one loose without too much hassle.

...Which also gives her a nice clean grab at the ribbon while she's at it, though she'll try not to make too much of a fuss over that. It's not the only reason she was setting you free, darling, promise!]

There! There you are, poor thing.

[pipers_son]

[A sad little sniff is made as she's tugged out, and then Ella looks up. When she spots the ribbon in Meridiana's hand, she makes another sad meow.]

[Uh oh, someone taught the Litleo how to guilt trip.]
