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.]

[Veronica sinks slightly in her seat.]

That's... t-true. This j-Jason guy r-really sounds like an asshole.

[Arturia turns and looks at Veronica with concern.]

You have not been a part of one of his experiments, have you?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...No.

I've heard about them though, and I'm not afraid.

I've been through much worse.

[Said with an odd seriousness.]

[no_longer_a_king]

[Judging by the stitching on her face? Arturia does not doubt the girl has been through much. Somehow she doubts she can explain the gravity of it to her very well, of just how much Jason can twist people.]

Whatever happens, just remember he is only in charge for a month. All the things he does will eventually have an end.

[And that's when they go over the top of the hill and go careening towards the ground, only for the track to turn sharply and pull them over another arch.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[If she had the time, Veronica would explain just how much she had already been twisted. Jason didn't scare her. He was just another twist she'd have to face. And he will get his.]

...I will, thank you.

[And then she squeals as she's pushed back and the car surges forward.]
