[Almost overnight, something seems to have taken over Pleasure Square. Tents and rides everywhere. What exactly is going on? From the center tent, an elegantly dressed man hops up onto a platform, megaphone in hand.]

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up to the greatest show in the universe! The circus has come all the way from Dong Guo for a very special performance right in Seresia! Inside the center tent located directly behind me we have a spectacular show going on ever hour on the hour! I'd hate to give away everything that goes on inside, but if you like knife throwing, dangerous creatures, fire breathers and beautiful ladies, this is a show you can't afford to miss! Until then, maybe I could interest you in a game of ring toss? How about a round at the shooting gallery if you think you've got what it takes to hit all of the targets? A plethora of wonderful prizes awaits you if you can conquer them! There's no sense in bringing your girlfriend here if you aren't going to win her something wonderful! And you slaves there! How about something nice for your master? Want to prove your worth? Just come over and take a swing of the mighty hammer to test your strength! Let's find the strongest slave of them all!

[The man looks around, a devious look in his eye.]

I have a challenge for all of those who think that they can withstand the worst horror in the world. To your right, you will notice a house that appears normal on the outside, but the inside-- Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, a murderer wanders through the halls of our Terror Mansion! Countless witnesses have heard the moans from the resident ghosts. Dare you go through-- for a small fee-- the haunted house? Please be warned that those with heart conditions and women who might be pregnant should stay clear away!

And let us not forget about the children! Dear boys and girls, do you enjoy things that go high? Things that go fast? Things that go round and round and upside-down? Then grab your parents or go ask one of our helpful clown helpers to take you to the wondrous rides we have in store for you! Ferris wheels, tea cups, merry-go-rounds, roller coasters, just to name a few! Don't forget to stop by our food station for all of your hunger needs, but be sure not to visit before you go riding!

For our tiniest of children who still can't ride our fearsome rides, why not come to our resident petting zoo and get acquainted with the many animals we have living with us. Feed them, pet them, get your pictures taken with them!

We're only here for a limited time, ladies and gentlemen, so please--

[There's a loud bang and a team of doves appear seemingly out of no where, flying off from behind the man into the sky.]

Enjoy the show!

((ooc: Post with your character coming in and exploring the wonders of the circus! There's lots to do here, so threadhop and have a great time!))

My heart goes out to those who can't be with their loved ones on this day. Though I'm sure the rebels have some sort of heart enough to treat them with more consideration today. . .

((ooc: It's Love Celebration day post! So, be wherever you want to be! Exchange gifts and candy and all that jazz! Threadhop, etc, etc since this is exactly like the Schmuelday post. As for the hostages, well, you don't get any fancy treatment except some chocolate Moira made and kindly handed out to you. At least it tastes good :( ))
