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.

Ah... well. I wouldn't want to be greedy...

[But he really does love his sweets... he'll grab a cookie. Poppet floats over and pats Naoya's head with her pillowcase. He looks over at her and smiles slightly.]

You're having fun, aren't you? Maybe I should take you to play some of the games later.

[She nods in delight, nuzzling into him and making happy noises.]

All right, all right. Once I'm done.

[He's still got a job to do, after all.]
styxiedust: to think of myself as in a relationship with Taco Bell. (Sincere ✿ Now that I'm single I like)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2015-10-22 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
She's a precious one, isn't she?

[Ghosts are so adorable.]

The Shuppet line has a bad reputation, but I've never had a problem with them. All they ever really want is to be loved, it seems.
crouching_sin: (hmph.)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2015-10-23 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She really is. I enjoy them a good deal, though I might be biased.

[He did start off with a half Ghost-type, after all.]
styxiedust: in the woods and a family walked by (Ugh ✿ I was giving him a handjob)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2015-10-24 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
You say that like I'm not, I mean, you have seen the shop lately haven't you?

[Whether it's because she's scatterbrained or just plain forgot, Botan has neglected to tell Naoya the part where she's the Grim Reaper.

It might not be a good idea to just talk about it as though it's common knowledge.]


It's a habit, I suppose, watching over ghosts.
crouching_sin: (but here's my number)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2015-10-24 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not like Naoya talks about who and what he is either, so it's only fair.]

Is it? Interesting. ... I suppose I'm just drawn more to the 'darker' types, given my work with demons. But I don't mind. I find them interesting, and they're still adorable when they want to be. It's not as if I'm letting them slack off in training, right, Poppet?

[She nods again, doing her best to puff up proudly, but... it's not very effective.]
styxiedust: a bar drinking pitcher #3. Foreshadowing? (Sigh ✿ First day of class and I'm in)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2015-10-24 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[A sigh, demons--that's not something she's heard about in a while.]

Well...the demons I've met I wouldn't describe as "adorable." They'd probably mutilate me for that.

[Hiei comes to mind most especially, little asshole.]

Honestly, I'd take being flirted with by spirits I have to take over the river rather than try to get away with calling a demon adorable.
crouching_sin: (and this is crazy)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2015-10-24 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you just haven't met the right ones. I know plenty of the Fairy demon family would love being called that. Though if I called one like Loki adorable he'd just laugh in my face.

[Wait.]

... Taking spirits over the river... the spirits of the dead, right?
styxiedust: squirrel fight. A car won. (Buh ✿ Dude I just saw a bird vs.)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2015-10-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
--Oh, I didn't--? I'm sorry, Naoya-kun, I thought you knew!

[Well uh...at least this isn't Rise.]

Over the river Styx, yes. Blah blah blah, people call me the Grim Reaper, shinigami, what have you and etcetera.
crouching_sin: (you'll be pleadin' while you're bleedin')

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2015-10-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[... He just laughs really hard for a moment, before leaning against the table to catch his breath.]

Sorry, sorry. If we were from the same world, I suppose I might look familiar to you, given how many times I've died.
styxiedust: taking advice from batman is a good idea. (Laugh ✿ Weird. Haha. I guess)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2015-11-02 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Now, the polite and normal reaction might be to say "oh really?"

Botan does not do this, Botan stares, blinking for a good few seconds...then she laughs.]


Oh no! What is it with some people, they just don't know how to stay dead! --It's all right, I already know somebody like that.
crouching_sin: (and this is crazy)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2015-11-02 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well in my case, it's more of a curse, but I imagine that sort of thing gives you a headache. I've been around... oh, over a hundred times at least.
