Characters: Anyone coming to Zo's carnival
Setting: Cafeteria; please specify the date and location in the carnival in your subject header!
Format: Anything
Summary: Zo has set up a carnival for the residents, but it's not meant to last. Anyone wandering after the bombs go off might see things they never wanted to see...
Warnings: Psychological and body horror
Note: Characters entering the carnival from the 27th to the 30th will experience visions! Please refer to the info post for details and reply to this thread if your character enters the carnival during these days.

[The carnival has taken up the entirety of the cafeteria. A large roller coaster and ferris wheel tower over the residents, while a child-sized roller coaster, a merry-go-round, and spinning teacups project much less daunting silhouettes. Stands are set up with standard carnival foods available, from ice cream to cotton candy. These stands do not ask for anything as payment.

On the twenty-seventh, the carnival appearance changes. The machinery all appears rusted and broken down, as if weathered with decades of rain and snow. Plants grow up and around the rides, ruining them, and all the food is rotten.]

....!!

[A tiny squeak escapes her open mouth. Her face now a bright red.]

I-I d-don't t-think so... n-no....

[monstrueux]

Ah...

[He sighs. This isn't going very well so far. He would think it would be easier to find people looking for romance.]

But--you are not entirely sure! You see, I have a beautiful, gentle friend who is in need of love. He is kind and understanding and patient, not to mention lovely and slender. He is shy, as well. Too shy to ask!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

B-beautiful friend?

[She really doesn't want to necessarily talk about this but... she's just got to know. She's actually a little curious okay? She's a teenager.]

R-really? Sounds l-like a l-lot of people here..... m-myself included.

[monstrueux]

Yes, this place is full of good people, is it not? [Gilles doesn't actually count himself as one of those good people. He's aware enough of what he is.] I met him when I first arrived here. I was in a terrible state, as I had just died. And he helped me! He is a generous person, willing to help others, no matter how difficult it may be. He... likes to make things, and he is devout. He is small and young, with black hair and pale skin.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

..Yeah, it r-really is.

[That was sincere. For all the time that she had been here, the tower had been full of nothing but good people. With a few exceptions of course.]

Hmm, that d-doesn't s-sound like anyone that I know. But I'm s-sure t-that they're a n-nice person. I'd like t-to possibly meet them one day.

[monstrueux]

How wonderful to know, that even in this horrible place, we have each other! My dearest friends are here. I know we will be well, as we can rely on each other.

Would you like to meet him? I can arrange that!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

M-meet him?

[She considered that for a moment. Really, how bad could it be?

...Damn it, she was going to have a bad time wasn't she?]

Uh, s-sure... Why not?

[monstrueux]

I am so glad! How wonderful! I am sure you will like him.

[Gilles actually hasn't considered this practically at all, and he knows next to nothing about Judas' preferences.]

I will arrange a meeting!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She immediately regrets this decision.]

Uh, y-you don't h-have to go through all that t-trouble...

[monstrueux]

No, it is no trouble! It would be my pleasure! I am sure you would like each other.

[Gilles, who has hardly any compassion and can't read people at all, probably is not the best judge of these things. But he tries.]
