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.]

[After the carnival has been around for a day and nobody appears to have been flung off any of the rides or otherwise horrifically murdered, she's considerably more relaxed with the whole carnival. That and, well, she's still gotta eat something, a healthy diet is important for being a proper soldier!

An over-sized plate of nachos with cheese probably doesn't count as healthy, but what the hell, it's good and she'll do a few extra laps around the gym later today to make up for it or something. And when she spots a familiar face exploring the carnival alongside a not-quite-so familiar face she waves enthusiastically with her free hand, walking over towards them. Ion seemed to be a very friendly person from her prior meeting with him, so surely any friend of his must be too!]

Ion! Hi there!

[Ion turns to look away from the rides at the sound of his voice. He smiles immediately and returns the wave.]

Hello, Amelia! [He laughs lightly when he sees what she's holding.] You look like you have your hands full.

[The Fon Master gives the knight a chance to respond before he moves to indicate Anise. He assumes the two haven't yet been acquainted, as Amelia only called his name and when they met she hadn't shown any real indication that she had met anyone else from Auldrant. It would be rude for him not to introduce them to one another.]

This is Anise: she's my Fon Master Guardian, as well as a dear friend of mine. [He pauses, turning to Anise.] Anise, this is Amelia; we met earlier in the month at a party. She's a knight!
