Sunspot Circus: OTA - Gathering Post

Who: Everyone and anyone
What: Come one, Come All! The Sunspot Circus has arrived!
Where: A clearing just outside of Haven
When: 6/20 Evening, to 6/23 Evening

The Sunspot Circus seems to be all anyone has been able to talk about, with growing excitement as they days pass by. And finally, at around 5 PM on the 20th, the Circus has not only arrived, but has set up in a clearing just outside of Haven. While most of the crew have been hard at work setting up the big, red and yellow tent in the middle of the clearing and setting up various vendors and games and stalls for food and any manner of circus attraction and side-show you can think of, a smaller group has been traveling through Haven drumming up excitement.

There are prizes to be one in games of skill, various side show acts to marvel at, a fortune teller who will happily read anyone's fortune. And the food smells amazing. Savory, spicy, smoked, sweet. Whatever you might crave, the Circus seems to have it.

So come one, come all. Come see the ladies riding the backs of tamed skitters, the magician pulling small Kites out of hats. Whatever you think might be at a circus like this will be there. It's vibrant and colorful. The music is enjoyable. There are fireworks at night when the circus closes for the evening. Performers will be roaming the clearing, juggling and singing tunes of questionable decency (cover your ears, children) and making delightful nuisances of themselves. People will be shouting for you to buy hand-made jewelry, scarves, various foods on sticks, and multitudes of foods that probably shouldn't be fried but someone did it and it's amazing.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

And remember what happens the day after they leave.

Malcolm is absolutely sure that something bad is about to happen. Maybe at the circus, maybe in the rest of the city while they're all distracted. Thus, he's on his guard but still cautiously trying to enjoy himself. This is clearly the most exciting thing that's happened in Haven in a long time.

Sweets are basically a food group for Malcolm, but he never eats big meals. Too much food at once makes him sick. He considers the funnel cakes, but they're too greasy. Cotton candy is more his speed. While standing in line, he watches the young man finish his funnel cake and then get in line behind him for cotton candy. Malcolm gives him a wry smile.

"Is this your lunch?" he asks.
