9th Act - Boys and girls of every age

Who: Come one, come all!
Where: Goldenrod, the Eve's Garden Circus
When: The 3rd - rest of the month
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 3rd, 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, 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. Those who were here for last year probably won't be surprised.

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! It also seems like the Litleo hoard has been released onto the grounds once again, with little bags of delicious candy tied around their necks.

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 the haunted house?

It's a relaxed and fun little adventure... at least, it is until things start getting strange with those weird fusioned Pokemon... The circus grounds are still open, regardless if people are changed or not, but you'll be disappointed if you're expecting any shows from underneath the big top itself. Joker has no interest in putting his performers in danger like that, you see. But then, that just might mean you'll see him wandering around for once and not run so ragged.

That sounds about right. That just leaves the dorks then.

[She picks up a Jolteon mask and looks over the rest, but nothing springs out at her as right for Sora and Riku. Still, there has to be something.]

"Nature? Well... my guess is it's a Legendary behind it, or maybe more than one. I guess that would sort of count. They're like forces of nature."

Like gods, practically.
dressofheaven: (... Why the heck did you do that?)

She grimaces at that particular memory. It had been fun, but also kind of had some worrying implications...

"Maybe only up to a certain point, though? I doubt anyone could control that Arceus creature."

[Envy stops short in the doorway when he sees, startled.]

Hey, it's just me! I'm not attacking you, what's wrong?

[Something must be. Did one of the house ghosts try to spook him while Envy was gone??]

[Henry is...far far away for the moment. The gloomy atmosphere, the way the squeak echoed off close quarters. It was the perfect melody to send him rocketing backwards into that horrible nightmare of a hospital.]

[The only thing that kept him from charging Envy was the fact that he didn't think there was a staircase close by that was steep enough to kill him.]

That wagging tail puts a smile on the wrecker's face. That was more like the Joker he knew.

"Yeah! It's an idea anyway. Listen, boss, I'm gonna go for now. I'll see what I can do tomorrow night with this...fluttering...thing."

He gave the ringmaster a small wave before trudling off through the sawdust.
dressofheaven: (Oh no you didn't)

Ilya nods, her expression dark.

"Yes. It really seemed more like those fools in the odd outfits were trying to steer the course of something much larger than them than anything else."
dressofheaven: (Now let me see...)

"I suppose. Though as far as I can remember they haven't tampered with the primal forces of nature."

Then again she doesn't know all that much about what goes on at the higher levels of the organization.

"Poor Snake. He really never struck me as the type to deal well with such an organization."

Crocker... well, she only spoke with him once or twice and she found him annoying, so her sympathy for him on any issue is kind of low.
exeggutorhead: (OHSHI--)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2015-11-16 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Envy doesn't try to approach, and slowly raises his hands up as though Henry was a spooking horse. He is completely ready to run off into the house if he has to.]

Okay, uh. Do you recognize me? Probably not, but you're fine. Everything's fine. You're just having some kind of issue, nothing's gonna hurt you.

[Maybe if he just talks very soothingly Henry will calm down?? He doesn't really know what else to do.]
dressofheaven: (Now let me see...)

"I could be wrong about this, but I think it's all just kind of random. Some people just have bad luck."

And as she's found, it's just a matter of working with that.

[Wide brown eyes stare Envy down and Henry's knuckles shine white against his black bodysuit. But it's good that Envy is talking. His ghosts didn't talk. At least, not in calming voices. They wailed and groaned and accused him.]

[Slowly, slowly, he lowered the paint roller.]


Envy. You scared me.

"I've heard of plenty of perfectly good people winding up there, so I really do believe that's the case."

Certainly she didn't get in there because she'd asked to be.
dressofheaven: (Now let me see...)

"Unquestionably so. But really, have we ever really understood the motives of any of the powers that be in this world?"

Or their own worlds, for that matter.
dressofheaven: (Now let me see...)

"Wait, you mean the great whale from last year, right? The one that was fighting that... enormous land reptile? I think the rest of us were kind of just in the way there."
