[ How curious, how curious--it seems a circus has come to town! A very interesting circus indeed. You'll find flyers all over the place advertising it, along with invitations sent out to every person in the area:


Want to have some fun?
Come see the show in the park!
The circus is in town, so come on down!


✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦
✦✧✦✧ COURTESY OF DEAD END'S CIRCUS,✧✦✧✦
✦✧ a show so great you'll never want to leave! ✧✦
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✦✧✦
✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦

But to anyone with half a brain, this place actually looks like NOTHING but trouble. (And, to anyone with a good sense of what's going on, more than a few people have probably already gone missing mysteriously... because who wouldn't want to run away and join the circus?) There's a lot of fire and dangerous objects going around this place; juggling acts with knives, hoops of flames, dangerous animals... still, they'll put on a good show, for free, even. And the Ringmaster? A girl looking suspiciously recognizable to some in an over-the-top outfit and a Harlequin's mask.

... Well, the resemblance might be uncanny, especially given how much she and her fellow performers resemble a certain purple-haired samurai, a girl with goggles, and the boy of a set of twins...

Standing atop a large platform as fireworks go off, directing the crowd, baton in hand, her voice carries well: ]


Stand up, stand up, are you all ready? Boys and girls, the performance is about to begin, so please take your seats! You there, are you bored? Tired? Need a little fun? We're here to provide... until the end of the world! If things seem listless or boring, the Circus will take you somewhere magical... and if you're looking for a job, we could always use more talent~!

[ Because their last clown died in a freak accident, you see, involving a lot of fire and two pistols. ... Yes, an accident. Can you resist the allure of bright lights and a show? ]

Laugh until your face falls off! Come see the end of the road! You, there, don't you want to try standing on stage?

[ Don't worry, folks. They're trained professionals...! ]

[This might be familiar to some people. You open a door - any door - and all of a sudden it leads to somewhere it didn't before.

What was once a subdued, 1920s era Casino is now a... subdued, 1920s era Cafe with Casino stylings. Yeeep. All the game machines and tables are all to one side, and a small array of four-seater white-clothed tables lit by candles fills the floor. Gumi, for her part, is behind the counter as usual, watching 'business' with a faintly bemused air, holding a quiet conversation with nothing in particular.]


So... what brought this on? Not enough customers?

[...]

And you decided on a cafe because...?

[...]

...Of course.

[talk to Gumi, talk to anyone else dragged in here, do as you wish. It should be a night for fine dining... if it was clear where exactly the kitchen is.]

[Despite sakura season being just about over, there appear to be two trees still in full bloom in middle of the park. Stranger still, they weren't there the previous day, and also seem to have two much pinker than usual Vocaloids sitting amongst the branches.]

...Gumimi, where are we?!


[The girl in goggles scratches the back of her head, much calmer about being displaced than her friend.]

I'm not sure! There's no way the humans could have moved us overnight without us noticing...maybe we're dreaming?

The same dream at the same time?

...Maybe only one of us is real!

Ehh?! Don't say that, it's too creepy!


No it's not, we have dreams with fake people in them all the time.

 

It still sounds creepy!

[Gumi is walking downtown when a video screen catches her eye. It's a commercial for a new CD, and she ends up stopping and watching the whole thing. She knows not what to think about this.]

... Why is there a song about me, and why am I spades?

[She wonders if they've replaced the poker dealer back home yet. Poker's a popular game after all. Hearts probably loves the bigger draw from Gumi's (Diamonds) absence. Blackjack's popular too.]

Ah, I see that's where that poofy dress comes from.

[Court is now in session. At the judge's chair is Judge Matagi. She looks bored and ready for lunch with her good friend Blueberry. (She hasn't asked if Blueberry would like to get lunch with her yet)] She would like to end the trial early, so she can get to the restaurant in time.]

[She's just like any other judge, really.]

[One of the prosecutor's of this district is Gumi, the Demon Prosecutor. There's nothing she won't do to win a guilty verdict. Care to play a game and see where the scales of Justice fall?]

[[Play the defense attorney, defendant, prosecutor... whatever. By the way, whips, coffee cups, tasers, and air guitar are allowed by the prosecution. The defense gets a "kick me" sign at their table.]]

[ suddenly, you see Gumi standing on top of a bench. is that a megaphone in her hand?

oh, hell no.

who the hell let her have a megaphone?! ]


ATTENTION, DRESSING ROOM. YOUR TECHNOLOGY HAS FEELINGS. PLEASE TREAT YOUR TECHNOLOGY WITH RESPECT. THANK YOU.

[ and then, after a moment of thought, she adds: ]

IF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OFFENDS ANY OF YOU ROBOTS IN THIS PLACE, I APOLOGIZE. I THINK YOU GUYS ARE GREAT, KEEP BEING AWESOME.

[ okay, now she's done.

or is she?

it's doubtful that she'll be giving that megaphone up anytime soon. or that she'll stop using it. ]

[HELLO DR. FEELING CHRISTMASSY?

Matryoshka certainly is, if the red-and-white adorned Tank is anything to go by, rumbling around and tossing presents out of the hatch at random.

...and yes, that is mistletoe someone has tied on the end of the barrel.]

((ooc: Christmas mingle and mistletoe post, all in one! Go have fun, find out what Matryoshka left in the presents, or get stuck in a bad place at a bad time with someone else for some mistletoe mayhem enforced by Tank. Go nuts!))

[Suddenly, a monochrome girl who looks like Gumi out from nowhere, offers a book which contain 101 children's tale.]

Would you like to read with me? He stops reading again.

[It doesn't matter where you are. In the store, the library, your room or even your toilet, she needs some company.]

[ so, DR. if you're on a computer right now, you may see a familiar sight: ]



[ familiar and comforting, right? but oh, wait. you're not using word. no, you're just browsing some website when suddenly, clippy, in your bottom left corner. and then, he says this: ]

Hello! I see you are trying to look up your old performance videos on youtube.
> get help with finding some!
> realize that you're just way past your prime and give up!
> don't show this tip again.


[ this is the part where Gumi, sitting on the grass in the park somewhere, shrieks and pushes her laptop off her lap, staring at the monitor incredulously. if she were of coherent thought right now, she'd feel worse for pushing her laptop, but right now, she's kinda just. staring. ]

H-Holy shit ... I think I'm being stalked.


( ooc: So, I got permission from our old XI head honcho to do this, but Clippy has followed the XI-ites to the Dressing Room! Really, Clippy is kind of scary. In any case, he's followed them, and now it is possible that he has infiltrated your computer, too. If you wish to have Clippy infiltrate your laptop/desktop/netbook computer, it will give you advice in the form of:

Hello! It looks like you're trying to ____!
> Get help with ____!
> (insert second option here)
> Don't show this tip again.


Since in this instance there really isn't any 'network rules,' Clippy will just pop up on whatever you're doing on your computer and just generally be annoying. And he won't stop. No matter how many times you choose the 'Don't show this tip again' option, he will not stop bugging you.

Oh, and this only affects desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet PCs, etc. No androids will be harmed in the making of this event due to Clippy shenanigans. I figured this might come into question at some point so I'm putting this here just in case. :|;; Any other questions? Feel free to ask me.

SO ANYWAY, HAVE FUN. :D )

[doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter what you're doing, suddenly, the nearest door bursts itself open and ejects a cat.

And a mop bucket.]


AND STAY OUT.

[Part of the park has transformed into a large pumpkin patch and corn maze that's taller than any Big Al, complete with farm harvest type decorations and the occasional spooky one throughout. There is even a scarecrow or two or three that look like crude versions of various characters.]

[For the less adventurous, there is a smaller, easier hay bale maze that only reaches an adult's waist. A large hay bale pyramid to climb is present too.]

[Oh no.

Is now the time she should start panicking?

That is. She's out of the house! And on the streets! But she's a housecat! Therefore, this is very, very worrying because oh gosh how do you get by out here without your food and bed and someone to take care of you or showers--well (she'd actually be fine without those, but since she's a lady she needs them, okay),]


M--Mr. Stray? Where are you? [If this is some kind of joke or prank she swears--

Long story short, there is a panicky Gumi with cat ears and a tail in your DR.]

[The weather is nice today, and Gumi's doing a little cleaning of her apartment above the cafe. Maybe PH!Gumi made a mess when she broke in came over or maybe PF!Gumi is trying to make the place smell like soap just to spite her. The windows to her third floor apartment are wide open, and occasionally a dust cloud puffs through them.]

[Listen closely, and one might hear Gumi singing as she cleans. ... Wait, she can sing?]

[So. With the festival, most of the stores have set up either own stands. One particular institution seems to have taken this a little... far...]

And when did running four tables with only one person occur to you as a good idea?
...Are the keys even going to be of any use, now?
........I'm not taking that as a compliment.
......Oh do as you like...


[Set up in the middle of the park, at a crossroads of lanes, sits a large pagoda, with games arrayed all across the tables; everything from cards, to roulette, to dice]

Roulette, anyone?

[ here we have some green haired chick with eyes wide open and looking around at everything with a heightened state of interest.

and then, of course, she looks around at all the people. chooses one. and walks up to them, asking the following question: ]


Um, excuse me! Where is the stage? See, my partner and I are supposed to perform tonight, and if I don't get there soon, Luka's going to be pret~ty mad at me ...

[ are you the person she's asking? ]



( ooc: feel free to run up to her, too, if you don't wanna be the person she's talking to. |D also, i'm going to be very slow/nonexistent for the next several hours. )

So does this mean I'm 21 now?

Bring on the booze. And the carrot cake.


( ooc: XI's time is pretty different from our normal time. In XI-time, her birthday had already passed, and she'd become 20 years old in that world (and it was 2010). So now, despite being very confused at the sudden throw into the future, she's milking this whole thing for all it's worth. )

[On a street with wide sidewalks and minimal traffic sits a redbrick café on the ground floor of a three story building. It's called the Fifth Street Café regardless of what street it's actually located. There are circular glass and metal tables set outside with matching chairs. Brightly colored umbrellas shade guests on the hottest of days, shield them on the wettest. The area is nicely swept, and the day's special is written on a sign where passersby can see it clearly. Waiters run in and out busily, serving everyone and taking orders, though one young man may be a little fearful of the more forceful occupants of the Dressing Room. ]

[Inside, the tables and chairs are a rich red wood, each with a small vase of flowers placed on the center. Large windows light the space and cast everything in a warm glow. The menu is written in a rainbow of chalks on a blackboard on the wall. Light music is heard all around, instrumental arrangements of some popular songs.]

[One can find an array of delectable treats, coffees, and teas. The smells fill the air, whatever's cooking being the most fragrant at the time. Behind a shined glass counter, the foods lay waiting: from savory croissants and quiches of any flavor to individual servings of cake and pudding. The owners certainly know their customers. Why else would there be flaky croissants filled with carrot or puddings with leek? The coffee is made to order, and the tea pots are loose leaf and enough for more than a few cups. The owners are glad to provide various sugars, creams, lemon, and other additives.]

[Gumi sits in a corner by the window with a cup of coffee and a carrot filled croissant while she plays Solitaire.]

[[OOC: This is a mingle post. If you want Gumi, mention her in the tag. And... guess who felt like doing a really descriptive piece. ^^; They are fun, okay?]]

Why you has vodka, who knows, but you has vodka.
