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.]

Yeah, I guess. Hmmm... well, what else is there?

[puppy_lancer]

Well, there's the teacups. They spin, faster than the merry-go-round. And the Ferris wheel, which is pretty ideal for dates.

[Wink wink nudge nudge.]

[irreverence]

The teacups might be fun...

[A blink, and she looks at him askance.]

Dates, huh? Maybe we'll go on that one after, then.

[puppy_lancer]

I hear it's very romantic. Sitting in the air next to each other and looking down at everyone else. It's...different from climbing up by yourself.

[irreverence]

Romantic, huh? And where'd you hear that from?

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, it was just something I got from the Holy Grail. Back when I was still back in my world. That thing just likes giving out random information.

[irreverence]

Handy little knick-knack, for something that's, you know, probably going to eat your soul or whatever.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, it's handy for things like these. Pretty much shitty for anything else, though.
