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.

Haunted Maze

This year the attraction has grown! Behind the house sprawls a hedge maze filled with fog and spooks. The maze is complex, draped in spiderwebs, lined with pumpkins, and has an enormous foggy fountain in the center. Anyone who reaches this fountain will retrieve a voucher for a free Rare Candy from Jimmy and Joker. It wouldn't be Halloween without candy! The hedges move thanks to some ambitious grass types. Cast members from the house may also be found in the maze.

Anyone who tries to cheat by climbing the hedges or using a flying Pokemon will find themselves scolded by some rather upset Noibat circling above.

The maze is not part of the house walk-through and is a separate attraction. Price of admission is 800P.

[While the Haunted House seems like a pretty hopping area right now, Chihiro isn't sure that he really wants to go in. At least, not by himself. Last year he had a rowdy Lucario and Tyrogue both trying to drag him through the mansion; this year they are in his company in the form of a Lucario and a Hitmontop, comparatively less rowdy and a lot more mindful of their trainer's wishes. So after some exploring of the circus grounds, Chihiro finds himself standing near the entrance to the maze after having already paid the admission fee. ...though now he seems to be grappling with second thoughts.]

Hm...I'm sure if someone got lost in there, they would have someone go after them...right?

[He asks the two fighting types, both of them nodding quickly while the Lucario places a gentle paw on Chihiro's shoulder. They'd be with him the entire time, so even if they got lost one of them could go for help.]
