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.

See, Donna? Evie's pretty good for people. She smiles at her friend, the small twitch of her mouth an attempt at being reassuring. She's got you, Donna. She's going to stick with you whether you stay and have a good time, or need to leave.

"Absolutely really. Only if you like it, though." A careful shrug of the shoulder Angie isn't sitting on. "I design and alter clothing for a living, It's something I've known how to do since I was much smaller."

She's going to leave off that her mother taught her how to cook and clean and sew for reasons that weren't really great.

"With that knowledge comes a fair idea of how to accessorize, too. Seeing the bracelet made me think of the tiaras I've seen women wear on their wedding day and I thought 'why not give it a shot?' What do you ladies think?"

The attempt absolutely lands. Donna actually reaches up to her veil, gently brushing it aside just a tiny, tiny bit. Just enough so that Evie can see the sad, nervous little smile playing across her pale lips. But then she lets it fall again. Baby steps.

Angie is overjoyed with the idea of new accessories - she clacks her jaw, kicking her feet and gleefully shouting.

"YES YES YES!"

The Puppeteer squeezes Evie's hand and gives a little nod. "...I like...to sew, too. Mostly doll clothes, but...maybe...maybe you'd...like to...help me make some...doll clothes, sometime?"
