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.

"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.

"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.

"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."

"As I recall it was something about land versus ocean... I don't think it would make much more sense if we knew more, honestly."

Ilya takes the last bite out of her own apple and toys with the core for a couple seconds, musing over it.

"Those two teams didn't seem very sensible, after all."

She can't help but laugh a bit at that. "They certainly did! It makes one wonder if there have been actual pirates in this world. Think about it, boarding parties with Tentacruel holding the ships, Blastoises firing jets of water to knock sailors off the deck..."

It'd actually be pretty terrifying, really.

"Careful, Joker. If you keep coming up with such good ideas, they might send someone out to... recruit you."

She's joking, but the idea of a big brute in a black R shirt is simultaneously kind of amusing and the sort of thing that makes her want to smash the perpetrator into dust.

"True. I'd almost like to see them try."

Almost. She'd still probably be tempted to interfere.

"Given how many people would immediately leap to your defense if something like that happened? I pity them."

Finally, she tosses her core into the garbage and stands, sighing.

"Well, this has been lovely, but I really must get back to work. I'll talk to you again soon, Joker."
