event: step right up

[mayfield_mods]

[Sometime during the night, it seems something new has arrived. Nothing threatening this time, though. It seems the carnival has come to town!

Where normally there's only a plain grassy area in the town park, now there are rows and rows of brightly colored and lit stalls, bursting with food and games. All the stalls are manned by drones, though none you've seen around before. Besides that, it looks like there are a few fun looking rides, an exciting show, and a swell funhouse that's sadly boarded up for the time being.

So everything is pretty old and rusty, that just lends it charm. And please don't mind the grime, the strange smells, or the slightly haunting music. Have a sense of adventure, there's nothing off about any of this at all.

Get ready for some good ol' fashioned fun!]

OPEN!

I feel bad for the ones that end up with bad housemates. It has to happen sometimes.

[prissy_hooves]

I don't think it's meant to be quite that brand of fun.

[Rarity pauses, side-eyeing the freak show house.]

...Except possibly for that building over there.

[drank_the_milk]

I think Mayfield is more about screwing with us than making anyone else happy.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Kariya smiles right back. So far, his time here has been pretty enjoyable, and seeing Rin able to smile like that again is really all he can ask for at this point.]

All right. You first, but we'll look at them together.

[drank_the_milk]

Keep who away?

[ex_seventh238]

[the truth isn't always funny charles... SHE'S JUST GONNA SLUMP HER SHOULDERS A BIT AT THAT. Ciel's life includes keeping those in check when she can do, so whelp]

So hope for the best, hm? I suppose there really isn't much else that we can do.

...

[seconds tick by...

Okay maybe just one or two, before she turns around to open her shoulder bag and fumble in it. Give her a moment, ok]

Re: I really should be doing the same, eheh...

[velesdonnersen]

Being brave when you're not in control is the only real courage. [He knows far too much about that.]

Ah. There's Ilsa. Hang on a moment while I go tell her you're joining us.

[He goes <*a href="http://mayfield-rpg.dreamwidth.org/506590.html?thread=52168670&posted=1#cmt52882142">here<*/a> and talks to Ilsa. After a moment he waves Dakki over.]

[answerer_sword]

And yet Zemekis did say that he wanted a world that could not hurt him...

Re: Funhouse ((Sounds like a good idea.))

[velesdonnersen]

[Smiles]

Yes! I met Dakki over in the Freak Show and thought you might like her to join us.

[He waves Dakki over.]

[answerer_sword]

Be careful. I have been warned that they are actually traps.

[imoutos]

[ Is that.. a compliment.. way to make the girl shake on her legs even more from the fact she's getting a compliment and oh gosh, oh gosh, so flustered.. she attempts to tug it further over her hat, but it'll only go so far so she supposes she does have to answer, even if it's timidly.. ]

Y-.. you think so..?

[thenewnancydrew]

[ Oh someone she knows. She's just going to lean all casually against the Fortune Teller booth thing. ]

Hoping fancy clothes and a one-way train ticket outta here is in your future?

Re: Fortune Teller

[atent_dead]

Shouldn't consider it at all.

Re: Fortune Teller

[answerer_sword]

But it is a fortune...

[shadow_possession]

[this is fun~]

Now now…a friend is a friend, no matter how odd. But he should reach out for more. There are a lot of interesting people here after all.

[encored]

[well she would think so, she's the one cleaning up everyone else's messes. he just gets to sit back and laugh or gripe accordingly...]

Not unless you've found some sort of way to break into or out of places that they keep locked off from the public, no.

[looking away from the lovely freak show display now to watch her curiously. what's going on what's happening huh huh]

[ex_seventh238]

[she makes sure he grips more than laughs it's the secret reason why she always keep an eye out for him especially

what an intrigued puppy!! dw she's getting him a bone-- I MEAN

nah she'll be done shortly and retrieve something in her left hand. Whatever it is must be small, since it fits in her enclosed fist and makes it impossible for him to tell what she's holding. And now, looking back at him:]

Can you please hold out your hand, Charles?

[what a sudden request!! ...nothing suspicious, right... Ciel sure looks pretty serious about this, but how paranoid is he...]

[technologic]

... It probably does. Just have to hope that they make friends with others in the town, so that they could stay at their houses for a few days.

[technologic]

[She notices his expression and tilts her head slightly.]

... I'm not sure if the one here would be the best one to make memories on, to be honest.

[encored]

[she is like his own appropriate reactions meter or something!

and oh good a bone! NOPE HE'S FULL OF SUSPICION, don't think he's forgotten about the horace incident just yet!! who knows what evils could be lurking in that one innocent hand.... but his curiosity outweighs his suspicion, and he'll hold a hand out even though he's holding it in a way that shows he's ready to drop whatever she hands him just in case]

What is it?

[guiding_starlight]

[ Context, Nanoha! ] My daughter, Vivio. Have you met her before?

[truffulacide]

- But no yellow eyes? Not even a tentacle or two? [wow, this is actually pretty disappointing.] Can you try breaking the window open?

[splitthebaby]

[Not even making fun of Ciel's lack of a boyfriend. TOO WISE AND COOL.]

I'd rather not. A being like myself is incapable of befriending most of anyone here.

[guiding_starlight]

We have much better food at home, don't you think? [ Not that she's thinking you're insulting this old lady's cooking or anything. Have a smile, Kyouko. ]

[truffulacide]

[it says a lot about his sanity when he doesn't immediately shoot that down.]

With who? You? Gimme a break. For an invention to be a success, it has to meet everyone's needs. Why stop at tofu dogs when it could make so much more? Hot dogs, veggie dogs, turkey dogs...

[huh. maybe that's not such a bad idea after all.]
