HAUNTED CARNIVAL

Full details on everything can be found here, but an important reminder that this event log doubles as our Test Drive Meme and information can be found in this section.

This means any outside characters participating in the log are canonly logged as appearing in Songerein in October and will remain in Songerein from the IC date of October 25 through 31 (this log is forward dated to the 25th). However, outside characters can only thread within this log, so for those seriously considering the game, you are welcome to use non-festival prompts for your toplevels. Anyone who apps in and is accepted will have their character count October as their first time in the game without any disruption, so all content will carry over. Those who do not apply will disappear which should not seem too unusual as people randomly disappear already, however players in game can choose to retcon and pretend a character was never there to begin with if it would be easier; or even think their presence was just a dream.

IMPORTANT! All outside characters MUST have "TDM" in their subject line, even if you might not app. This will help people differentiate those who are already in the game and those who are not.

TDM threads are required for samples. Refer to the Game Info for general information and feel free to toss any questions here. Reserves will open Tuesday, October 25th and Applications will open on November 1st. Our application cycles are bi-monthly so the next cycle after won't be until January.

I. CARNIVAL FUN

The moment a guest enters the carnival grounds, there is a high chance (read: optional) they will find themselves changed in some way to fit the spooky, haunted atmosphere. Instead of just wearing a vampire costume, the character will actually turn into one. Of course, how much of a transformation varies between complete to partial changes. It should be noted that this is only a cosmetic and ability change—no matter what someone changes into, they won't have any personality changes…unless one of the carnival attendants cast a small enchantment to make it so. Of course this is by chance as well (read: optional).

A. Haunted Food. While there is some standard fare carnival food around, the Haunted Carnival has some unique items with even more interesting effects:

Caramel Apples: Tart green apples dipped in caramel and decorated with chocolate to look like they’re covered in spiders and spider webs. Eating one of these will have the dreamer feeling crafty and industrious, just like spiders themselves often are. Also, the idea of eating bugs (or even other spiders?!) suddenly seems strangely appealing…
Cherry Blood Popcorn: Popcorn drenched in cherry syrup and decorated with candy bones. The combination of sugar and dreamotion energy leaves the eater feeling giddy and cheerful, somewhat in contrast to the gruesome appearance of the treat itself.
Funnel "Brain" Cakes: Funnel cakes colored to look like brains when served. Comes in regular or zombie brain varieties. Eating one makes you feel lethargic and hungry, like the only thing that matters is your next snack fix, but you’re not willing to do much more than shamble toward it.
Mummies in a Blanket: Small hot dogs wrapped in biscuit dough and decorated to look like mummies. After eating this, you may or may not want to wrap yourself into a blanket and take a nap—ideally somewhere dark and spooky.

B. FUN AND GAMES. Mixed in with the food vendors are several booths advertising a variety of carnival games, including but not limited to the ones below.. The prizes you win may or may not be cursed. Best of luck!

NERF Gun Shooting Gallery: Use dreamotion to shoot foam darts from a gun at various ghostly and ghouly targets lined up on a platform. Advanced players may want to try their hand at making the guns shoot other objects. Water? Fire? Glitter bombs? The only limit is one’s imagination.
Ring Toss: A series of witch hats are lined up, and the objective is to toss rings on the hats for points. Did something just peek up from under one of the hats? It’s probably nothing to worry about.
Potion Bottles: A variation of the milk bottles game wherein you throw balls to knock over flasks and beakers filled with strangely-colored liquid. In most cases, the spilled potion is totally harmless. Once in a while, however, it may have some interesting effects on the player and/or the booth itself.
Slime Pit: There’s a giant pit of slime with a sign next to it: prizes within for those willing to get a bit messy! Said prizes range from giant candy bars to random silly toys to skeletal limbs…? Oh that belongs to the skeleton having fun in the pit, they might want it back.

II. ATTRACTIONS

A. Hall of Mirrors. A classic maze of mirrors that are usually filled with special effects to make one's reflection look distorted. In the beginning the distortions are more humorous, making one look super skinny or extremely curvy. However, the deeper one goes, the reflections begin to look a bit…strange. The mirrors begin to reflect the "worst" side of an individual, but in a more embarrassing manner. When they first wake up in the morning, having a bad hair day, dressed poorly, being lazy on the couch—mostly benign things that would be embarrassing to show others. But there are some that may reveal one's darker self they wish to hide from others and are forced to face—especially when the reflections will step out and follow the original until the end of the maze. They won't do anything, just follow silently like a shadow, but even that may be taxing for anyone, especially if others see. The reflection must either be pushed back into an empty mirror, or it will disappear on its own when exiting the building.

B. Wild Carousel. The creatures on this carousel are not just colorful painted steeds but are more frightening in nature and looking more undead than living. Skeletal horses, direwolves, fanged deer with bloody horns. What makes this ride truly terrifying, however, is that the creatures are alive, restrained only by the pole stuck through them. But there are times when they manage to break free, causing havoc as they run through the park. The only good news is they don't attack, instead aiming for the carnival food as if hungry. Either hang on or help capture them back!

C. Cirque du Souleil. Near the center of the carnival is a large circus tent, and it boasts a variety of shows that are death defying, terrorific, and guaranteed to make everyone scream in fright and awe. The usual acts are available to see: acrobatics, musical performances, theatrical skits, and using ghostly steeds to ride through the large arena. But what makes this circus unique is that all the performers are capable of separating their soul from their physical body, similar to astral projecting or dreamwalking outside of dreams and being visible to all. And now they're asking for volunteer pairs to either participate in a more simple act such as an acrobatic stunt on the swings or tight rope…or eat a special candy that will allow them to have an out of body experience via dreamwalking outside. The only "flaw" is their dreamwalking form will tend to float up to the top of the tent, so their partner who hasn't eaten the candy has to tether them via dreamotion to get through some simple obstacles. No worries, the professionals will help return the soul if they get lost.

D. Spinning Bumper Cups. A combination of the classic bumper cars and spinning cups rides, this attraction has its riders in skull shaped bumper cars that will randomly spin. Riders have the ability to fire off "pumpkin bombs" at the others, which will splatter pumpkin goop to slow down their car. It will also make the car spin for a few rotations. Dreamotion will also help boost the speed, stabilize a spinning car faster, and make the pumpkin bombs more explosive. Just be careful—the barrier around the arena is made of bones and therefore quite brittle. It's not unusual to see a car spin out and lose control driving through the carnival grounds. Stop the runaway car and bring it back! Or shoot people with pumpkin bombs.

E. Ferris Wheel. Ah, the ferris wheel, a gentle ride that elevates one high in the air to allow them to see the sights below, in this case the entire carnival grounds and the surrounding areas like the bordering forests, the Observatory, and the edge of Reverein. However, as with everything in this carnival, the ride is not always so gentle. There are times when the entire ride accelerates to a faster pace, causing the (fortunately) enclosed cabins to rock dangerously as it rotates around. There are times when it keeps going, not letting anyone off until three rotations. And then there are times when the top half of the cabin disappears, exposing the riders to the cooler winds. Fortunately handle bars will appear they can hold onto, but no seat belts. Enjoy the view?

F. Other Rides. There are plenty of rides and attractions at the carnival, too many to list all of them here. A roller coaster, tower drop, gravitron, bungee jumps, pendulum ship—whatever one might think exists, it's there in all its twisted nightmare glory. One thing they all have in common is the more fear and thrill and screams generated, the faster they go. Just hope the ride doesn't stall and get stuck…

III. HAUNTING CLUES

Although the main purpose for these prompts is to find the clues, anyone is free to use them for general use and not focus on getting the clue. For those who do participate, we'll be asking for thread during our Activity Check! Those who are TDMing regardless of application can also have their threads counted by commenting to this thread and following the directions.

#1. Haunted Dollhouse. There is a special building called the Haunted Dollhouse. It's similar to a haunted house, however this attraction is filled with moving porcelain dolls that will try to scare and chase those who enter (it's quite likely some members of the newly added Porcelain Town have volunteered to help). Sometimes, those who enter are cursed into a doll and are now vulnerable. They are also not always able to move on their own will. This is not great as sometimes the dolls kind of…malfunction and will actually become aggressive. The weapons they wield are also not props, so that's a problem. However, they are small and can only inflict minor wounds and can be easily taken out.

The main clue here is "Villains!' I shrieked. 'Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!" To help both those who have turned into dolls as well as get the clue, everyone has to find the right place where some candied hearts are hidden. Fortunately the "blood trail" (it's raspberry syrup) will help lead them to the right place.

#2. Abandoned House. A little away from the main attractions there is a run down house surrounded by trees…and a lot of ravens. A raven with red eyes will guide those who dare or wish to face a lost loved one to the house. Inside it's just filled with faceless busts and empty paintings, but soon they are filled with the images of those lost ones. It could be a person, pet, thing, but they are there, just staring. Only the eyes and mouths move, and what the person hears are their insecurities and fears related to how they lost whatever they see. Anyone else will either see the original blanks or their own personalized images.

The main clue is "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting // On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door // Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning // Shall be lifted – nevermore". To get out of this house, they have to first look for the bust that has the red eyed raven on it. This will be tricky as there will be many ravens with different colored eyes. Once they do, there will be a small picture frame. They must manifest one or more of the images they are seeing and capture it into the frame. This is simply done by waving it like a net, but the manifestation can move around. This can be as easy or difficult as a player wants, and how affected the character is from what they see and hear can also be a factor. The more affected they are, the easier it is to manifest but difficult to capture. The less affected, it will be more difficult to manifest as they have to tap into that raw fear, but will be easier to capture.

#3. Hay Bale Maze. Just outside of the circus tent is a large hay bale maze with the hay…looking as if it's seen much better days. It's filled with spooks that like to jump scare maze goers or bodiless limbs that reach out to grab, but aside from that it's harmless. Except for one particular figure.

The main clue is "Who dares?" he demanded hoarsely of the courtiers who stood near him --"who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery? Seize him and unmask him --that we may know whom we have to hang at sunrise, from the battlements!" There is a red clad figure wearing a skull mask. He will randomly bust through the hay walls and engage maze goers into a fight. Those who are incapable will flee in terror while the figure will chase, which will be a pretty good clue as to where he is. Once engaged, any weapon and dreamotion can be used at their disposal and the challenge is to just simply best him in a fight (not to the death). Striking the figure even once will earn a victory and the skull mask will be granted.

#4. Musical Catacombs. For a bit more lighthearted fun, there is an underground catacombs that is filled with tombs. Some of them have actual skeletons and ghosts sleeping in them, but they won't harm anyone if bothered. Just be a bit cranky, maybe throw a bone. At someone's head. Down here it's quite lively, filled with music, dancing, and a lot of alcohol. Minors will only get sparkling juice.

The main clue is "'Ha! ha! ha! — he! he! he! — a very good joke, indeed — an excellent jest. We will have many a rich laugh about it at the palazzo — he! he! he! — over our wine — he! he! he!' // 'The Amontillado!' I said." One of the games is a dancing game where the tombs will light up a certain color and participants have to properly hit the correct corresponding floor panel (basically a music rhythm/DDR themed game). Should they make a perfect score, one of the tombs will open and have a crusty wine bottle in it. It has competitor and co-op mode.

Blitzø ♠ Helluva Boss ♠ TDM

[helluvaboss]

( 1 ♠ More than just a dream )

[At first blush, coming to in a dream about a carnival isn't remotely foreign to Blitz. He has these dreams all the time - though it's pretty unusual for this many normal humans to be in his dreams. And the carnival was like.... some weird form of spooky. Where was the blood and guts? The hellfire?]

Holy fuck, I should not have had that much weed before bed.

( 2 ♠ Carousel Chaos )

[ Horses.

Blitz is immediately enamored and drawn to the carousel like a magnet, practically bouncing in delight. He's got the bridle of a skeletal horse in hand, and he's practically sparkling in utter delight as he offers apple after apple to his new buddy.]

You are just too cool, even with the shitty carousel pole fused to your vertebrae. Let's say you and I grab more snacks and blow this popsicle stand?

[Because he is SO gonna hop onto the saddle of this skelly-horse, there's no way he could ever resist.]

( 3 ♠ Not so bad )

[Though it was really offputting at first, Blitz does eventually get into the Carnival spirit - he can be found just about anywhere, at any attraction, munching on some weird snacks and laughing WAY too loudly at attempts to portray blood and gore. Since everything's fuckin FREE for once, he's just going at the games - might as well enjoy his weird nostalgic-but-not-quite dream.]

WOOOOO yeah motherFUCKER! Thought you could rig this stupid thing and keep me from winning? FUCK no, give me that fat ugly bear on the third shelf!

[He's excitedly shouting at the top of his lungs, pointing at some franken-bear plush on a prize shelf.]

3 ☆ Enter Daddy Hoot Hoot

[noctuagoetia]

[Once again, the Goetia had managed to slipped his hired entourage that evening. Honestly, how could they loose a nine foot owl demon? Though to be fair... those long legs of his made it a challenge for certain members of the DMC crew to keep up with his overly eager childlike enthusiasm as he darted from attraction to attraction. Thankfully there was no real exchange of money and employing their services was just a ruse for having them spend time with him. So much for that plan as he found himself alone amongst the sea of carnival goers.

Doubling back, Stolas decided to retrace his steps to hopefully find the unfortunate soul who was on babysitting duty when suddenly a familiar laugh caught his attention. No... it couldn't be. Abandoning his plan, Stolas followed the sound towards the row of festival games. He had to see, he had to be sure- There through the crowd of moving bodies, he saw those large black and white ram horns causing the prince to stop dead in his tracks.

Blitzø.

There was a slight twisting pain in his chest as he awkwardly stared holes into the back of the imp's head. Was this another trick? He had seen his visage in the haunted manor earlier that day and their words were far from kind. If this was truly Blitzø in the flesh, it was coming on three months since the prince had seen him. How they left things after Ozzie's still weight heavy on his mind... What should he say?

Frozen with indecision, the Goetic Prince stood still like a statue until a fae who wasn't paying attention to their surroundings bumped into the owl. Caught off guard, Stolas staggered forward almost crashing straight into the much smaller hellborn, but he caught himself at the last second. Not looking like his usual self, a giant feather plague doctor stood before Blitzø.]

... H-hello, Blitz...

[Even if he didn't look recognizable, that voice sure was.]

[helluvaboss]

[Blitz didn't turn around, tilting his head back and looking up into the mask. Cool, actually-- but he knows that voice - even in what he's pretty sure is a dream he knows that voice immediately. And he lets out a disgruntled "ugh!"]

God damn it, can I have one dream without you meandering into it and making me feel guilty??

[He whipped around and took in Stolas' look.]

Cool getup, though, my subconscious has good taste.

[noctuagoetia]

[Out of all the possible reactions the imp would have at his sudden appearance, this was not one of them Stolas was expecting. At first the groan of displeasure made his heart sink for a split second before Blitzø spoke. Wait a second... Did he hear that correctly? Stolas was a regular guest in the imp's dreams. Well, put a pin in that for later.

The over grown owl chuckled nervously as he toyed with his talons under Blitzø’s intense inspection. The prince was so glad he could not see the flustered look on his face right now under that ridiculous mask.]

Why thank you, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news. This place is very much real. I can see how you might get that impression but you are actually in a different realm from our own.

[helluvaboss]

That so?

[He didn't sound like he was buying it, but healthy skepticism always kept the worst of the damage at bay. He took a second to reflect where he was last... at home, really. At home after a bit of a hectic day, but it wasn't... super awkward.]

Yeah, not remembering any portals, I just remember getting zooted then crashing on the couch again. Unless you grabbed me for some kind of job?

[He started patting down his sides, mournfully lacking any of his favorite murder toys.]

[noctuagoetia]

You think I did this?

[The owl's tone sounded incredulous as he placed a hand over his chest.]

I'm flattered that you think I possess such powers but not even I can create portals that suck people into an entirely different universes. If I knew how, I wouldn't have been trapped here for two and a half months.

[ninefunerals]

[There is some excited clapping as she all but pranced her way over, still stuck in a familiar white dressing gown with frills. Something in this world seemed to recall that Sinstagram post.]

Nice shot, Blitz! Get your Thing!

[Oh, she was so glad they had Things here. Loo Loo Land's was soundly better, but she'll take what she can get.

Besides, Stolas was likely safe enough that- even if His Highness slipped away- he'd be fine on his own for a bit while she went to have a little fun.]

[helluvaboss]

HEEEEEYY it's Millie-Billie! How'd I know I'd end up seeing you here?

[Blitz's grin is broad to see the bouncing employee of his - the carnival looked even more appropriate with her in it. Blitz leaned over the counter and snatched the weird bear from the guy manning the stand, plopping it on Millie's head.]

Theeere ya go, let's consider that an add-on for your holiday bonus! Hah.

[ninefunerals]

[Aw, he didn't have to go and do that...! But she seized this unfortunate looking bear and gave it a nuzzle as she laughed.]

A bonus would be awful nice, but we'll think about that after this whole... dream thing! The head honcho here says he's got info on some boogeyman that creeps around here, but until then, Mox, Loona, Dante and I are here on bodyguard duty.

[helluvaboss]

Eyyy, picking up leads without me, that's my visceral stabby Millie!

[Blitz grinned, giving her a slight elbowing.]

Did you and Moxx split up to scout around?

[ninefunerals]

Mmmm... ssssssort of? Everybody's costumes are makin' 'em act a little weird. Takin' their roles seriously, y'know?

[She looked up, searching the tent tops.]

So heads up for all the vampires, werewolves and... Phantoms...

3... I'm so sorry omg

[menaretrash]

[ Ann's getting bored, honestly. She's starting to eye the rides, which may or may not be a bad idea, but so far she hasn't gotten a single challenger (she is NOT i cluding the small child earlier dammit) with the nerf gun shit. Which is a damn shame, because out of all of the games here, that's the one she is best at.

Hope may not be lost, though, when she hears someone shouting excitedly, and she blinks. She turns towards the voice of... a demon? Maybe a demon. Doesn't matter. ]

Nice, congrats! You must be super good at this stuff, huh?

[ Twirling her stupid nerf gun around her fingers, she sure isn't dressed the part of an expert marksman but looks can be deceiving... ]

Wanna try your luck against me? You don't have to, but I haven't gotten anyone who seems to be as good as you are so far.

GOOD LUCK ANN i'M SORRY TOO (also just made a post for opt-out stuff feel free to hmu!)

[helluvaboss]

Luck's got nothing to do with it! You're looking at a bone-uh-fried 5 year champ in sharpshooting!

[Blitz gives Ann a look up and down, admiring the outfit. Good taste, honestly, she looked like she was about to go on a date at Ozzie's instead of working at a strip joint.]

You're on, sugar tits. What're we betting to liven it up?

I could never opt out of pure unbridled Blitz ok

[menaretrash]

Wow! That's cool, I can't wait to see!

[ And she does indeed look ridiculously excited, because it's been a hot minute since the last time she's had a good challenge. And really, the prospect has her in such a good mood that sugar tits flies right over that blonde head of hers. ]

A bet, huh? Okay then. Something nice like... I dunno, getting the loser a funnel cake? Or are we going with something more along the lines of embarrassment?

[helluvaboss]

Embarrassment? What kinda freaky idea are you thinking of?

[Blitz snickered, hands on his hips as he contemplated her. What would be a funny consequence for sucking at shooting targets?]

Sticking ice down your shirt? Hittin' on the ugliest dude we can find?

[menaretrash]

Hmm...

[ She thinks about it for a few moments, tapping a finger to her chin. ]

Loser could get on the ferris wheel and the entire time it's going around, they have to shout something that the winner dictates as loud as they can?

[systemofadowny]

(Originally, Octavia didn't have much interest in checking out the rides. She was just here to browse around and get acclimated, but like Blitz, she's stumbling into all of this, so fuck it. This is where her life is headed right now.

It helps that the popcorn automatically puts people in good moods.

Octavia's trotting by on her own carousel horse, a unicorn of fake flames, and caught in the costume of a bloody prom queen that thankfully isn't making her feathers sticky.

Chance dictates that she's meant to run into her dad's boyfriend. Not very high on the list of people back home she'd want to run into, but at least the popcorn has her in a neutral mood.)

Pretty sure they'll go anywhere as long as they don't go in circles. They do enough of that.

1/2

[helluvaboss]

[Blitz' attention is first immediately captured by the unicorn, and he practically looks like he's gonna cry.]

Of course not! God damn what a beauty you are too.

[Directed at the unicorn, of course - he reached over and pat the fiery critter.]

Just wanna run free and feel the wind in the flickering mane!

[helluvaboss]

[He doesn't forget Octavia, of course, giving her a smile even if it's a little weird.]

Octavia! Good to see you're a fellow equine enthusiast! Good taste.

[systemofadowny]

(The unicorn is notably more okay with the interaction, giving a wiggle and a whinnie from the pats. It's having a great time going out and about and receiving pets along the way makes it even better.)

They've been sticking with me for a while. I thought it was for the popcorn, but I was wrong.

(That part's honestly pretty sweet. The owl's also gonna pet the unicorn for it.)

I'm really glad this carnival's not using kiddie designs. This aesthetic's way way better.

[helluvaboss]

Eh, depends on the section, there's some tacky ass lookin' vampires and bats over that-a-way.

[He jerks a thumb over his shoulder before giving his bony horse's skull a doting pat, too. Really, the decorations he wasn't impressed with basically were just the less gorey decorations.]

Wanna have some fun and race these beauties all the way out to that shithole house past the carnival? That's a pretty sweet route, we could get to some real galloping.

[666_hellhound_aesthetic]

[1. More than just a dream]

Loona let out a long, heavy sigh. She was here, she might as well just try and have some fun now. She had been planning long enough her costume to find a way to work in the bright pink cast on her leg, and an eclectic spandex number with legwarmers for some rocking wolf. At least the guitar made a creative crutch.

That would make running away all the harder when her ears perked to attention.

"...no fucking way."

There was no mistaking it, eyes wide as she heard that voice, and only one mouth filthy enough and crass enough at the same time to make her laugh.

She turned slowly, like the loser girl in the horror movie who realises the slasher is right behind her, the hellhound slack jawed, eyes wide as there he was.

Fucking. Blitzø.

She'd gotten so used to this new dynamic, trying to do her own thing, and this asshole wanders in, ready to turn this dreamworld into a fresh, hellish nightmare once more.

"...God fucking damnit..." She looked around, desperate for anything to hide behind get to and give herself enough time to process this new discovery.

[helluvaboss]

[Quick, Loona, he hasn't noticed yet! Blitz looked around and stole a drink with his tail while the stall hand wasn't paying attention. Wandering away and looking around, he popped the soda top and slurped, wandering in Loona's direction unwittingly.

Some little kids (?) jumped from around a corner, hissing loudly and baring fangs at him - they were dressed like little spiders.]

MOTHERFUCKER! That's how you'll get shot, you little shit.

[Instead, he'll grab a soda, shake it, and spray down the shrieking spider-children till they run off.]

[666_hellhound_aesthetic]

"Fuckfuckfuck..." Loona muttered again and again under her own breath, still unable to find anything that could hide her. It wasn't as if he wouldn't recognise her if she did her human disguise. Hell, she wasn't even sure she could transform right now.

It was like watching the moment of the horror movie in slow motion, heroine falls, breaks leg, begins crawling and dragging and making their way as the monster just approaches relentlessly over them. Loona hop-hobbling her way out of his sight, trying not to be too loud to attract attention, rummaging desperately for anything that'd work as a distraction.

So busy she was, she didn't notice the crutch had hooked in one of the pieces of bunting from the nearest stall, that moment where it was pulled taut and finally came away from her grip.

In full Loona Toons action she flailed arms, forcing her mouth shut as she tried to grab something, only to fall forward into a huge inflatable decoration, her claws raking it with a slow, downnward tearing noise only less noticeable than the faux flatulent escape of air that squeaked loudly over the whole area, broadcasting attention right to Loona clinging onto it.

"...Shitnuggets..."

[helluvaboss]

[Though Blitz' initial reaction was to turn and laugh, it took only half of a second for him to recognize that silver fur. And to immediately bound towards it.]

Loony!

[He started bounding over in excitement, but he let out a long, audible GASP at her cast.]

What the HELL! My BABY! Who did this to you??? I'll fucking blow their brains out!
