Randy touched the unicorn as a joke. He didn't think much of it. But as he began to talk something was off.

"Thank you for coming." There was a slight shift " Truthfully I hate any type of event like this. I have to fake a smile to make you all happy. But I'm miserable as fuck. But the OEA has my fucking children so I have no choice. But I'd like to make one more comment about my opposition. " The mayor smirked

"Gianna if you are hearing this, you are one of the most pretentious people I have ever met. You suck at being for the people. I'm a jackass but at least I can pretend when some weird medieval man says he gave his money to a prince on the internet. I hope you don't have children, or grandkids, or nephew because yikes." Randy said flipping the bird.

"Now you can boo me. Please it gives an excuse to drink"

She wasn't entirely sure what the point of this stupid game was. Throwing balls into a basket without a bottom seemed utterly pointless to her but she had her eyes on a rather large stuffed pig, something she wanted to win for her husband as an 'I'm sorry for letting Malivore swallow me without letting you have a say' apology of sorts but she was failing miserable. A defeated sigh eased from her lips as she allowed a pout to pull across her lips, she could just steal it, wouldn't be the first or last time that she ever did that but there was something about actually putting the work in for it that made it seem more- heartfelt. "These games are ridiculous," Raquel huffed. "And outrageously overpriced at that."

it seemed as if everyone was in a world of their own, people acting odder than usual which was saying something for New Orleans. Legs folded as she sat on the top of one of the picnic bench. A peanut bag placed in hand before she shoved a few in her mouth. seeing someone walk over, a sigh escaped the dragons lips. “i’m not sharing if that’s what you’ve come over for.”

"who knew i was such a pro at throwing darts at balloons." she comments with a soft chuckle and a smirk as she was handed the stuffed animal she'd won by the carnival worker. after saying thank you to them, she turned to the person next to her. "if i had known i wouldn't have played so early, now i have to carry this around the rest of the night."

"excuse you, make way!" she exclaimed, her digits wrapped around the clothing rack, and just as she could feel herself swelling with pride in being able to successfully make her way out of the 'carnival workers only tent' with the costumes that her heel got caught on something and next thing she knew she was stumbling, her hands fumbling to grip tighter on the metal to regain her footing. a laugh pulled from chest once she was standing upright.

✧ ― the greatest show on earth: event003 ― ✧

A travelling carnival has come to town with a unique main attraction, but you’ll never guess what that is. No, seriously – you’ll never guess. Fliers have been appearing around the French Quarter advertising a carnival with a unicorn as the star of the show. A real one. Insane, right? – guess you’ll just have to head on down to find out for yourselves. The entire city is invited, supernatural and OEA alike, trusting that for one night, the peace can be kept or forced at least.

ATTRACTIONS: ferris wheel, bumper cars, carousel, rollercoasters, tunnel of love, mechanical bull, the whip, the wipeout, tilt-a-whirl, the scrambler, log flumes, helter skelter, loop-o-plane, the circus, magic shows, psychic readings.

GAMES: ring toss, crossbow shoot, ball in the basket, balloon and darts, water gun games, duck pond, ping-pong ball and fish bowl game, ALL with prizes available. 

FOOD: What carnival would be complete without sugary treats? cotton candy, ice cream, fried dough, funnel cake, candy, or caramel apples and french fries. Meal items include pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, empanadas and tacos. 

OOC INFORMATION: Roll up, roll up, now of course that’s not all!

Unfortunately for our carnival goers, our unicorn friend does not come alone and is in fact a host for parasitic slugs. Yeah, we know – gross. Once these slugs get inside the body of their host, hosts will find themselves acting with lowered inhibitions; letting go of the things that they would usually hold back from saying and doing, as if they weren't thinking about the repercussions of it. To put it simply, they're going to be slug drunk. The wheel of chaos will be deciding which players are going to be infected by those pesky parasites and will be messaged shortly. **for reference, the slugs are from the 'we're gonna need a spotlight' episode of legacies. if you have any questions on them, don't hesitate to ask**

For the next two weeks, ( 05/13 - 05/27 ) our event is going to be in full swing and any threads currently happening outside of the event are encouraged to be placed on hold/carried over to the event. as always, we can't wait to see what plots our characters get up to and any event threads can be tagged with exitium.event003 with starters being tagged as normal ( @exitiumstarters ) to ensure that everybody is kept in the loop!

and as always, have a blast everyone

Camille had far too many things to do and being at the carnival wasn't one of them, yet she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, when the smell of sugar filled the air. Her parents took her to carnivals often as a child, the ferris wheel was one of her favorites to go on with her father. Now it was so different, all of them were dead and she was clearly outstaying her welcome. Being brought back from the dead, was beginning to weigh on the vampire.

Walking into the event, she took in the sights and sounds, people laughing with their friends, lovers kissing while holding hands. It made her forget all her troubles for just a moment, well long enough for her to bump right into someone. "Oh uhh, sorry I wasn't paying attention. You okay?"

with the age old familiar chime of the carousel playing all around him, jesse looked down at the elephant he had picked to sit on start to move up and down. it was when he looked up that he saw his former best friend just ahead of him, and she appeared to be enjoying herself like a lot of people here, including himself. her laugh brought him back to when they were just jesse and marni, two friends. his reminiscing was interrupted when she fell off of the horse she'd been on. he was off of the elephant and over to her side in a matter of a moment. "holy shit, mars are you ok?" his features were a mix a concern and a fair bit of amusement, the hybrid was trying his best to not laugh in her face as he checked on her.

peyton held out the cup of animal feed to her daughter as they slowly made their way around the petting zoo, she'd given up on keeping one of her little hands in her own the moment charlee set her eyes on one of the goats and ran over to it. "you know, you don't have to stick with us, you can go ride some actual roller coasters, or maybe meet up with rebekah at the love tunnel." she offered a couple excuses for him to use if he wanted them, glancing up at him as she shook the cup of food pellets. "besides, we're getting something to eat next which will include something sugary and you don't want to be around for that sugar high."

[morsobitus]

“i doubt I would think that.”blossom hummed softly, she never thought anyone was boring no matter who or what they were or did. everyone was special in their own way. she was different in her own way and she was sure that some people would take the Mickey out of the way she acted. “thanks, it’s my grandmothers name and her mothers name. I’m the 16th generation to have the name blossom.” And somewhat probably a common name in the fairy world. “and I would love us to be friend. I always say more the merrier.”

"I hope it is, like if you knew me you'd probably think I'm in my 40s and just boring," she sighed, wishing she could do something about it but that required work and right now she didn't even want to think about any responsibilities she had in the future. Just right here, right now. "Your name is so pretty," she gasped, grabbing the other by the hands, "can we be friends? I don't have many so I need some"

"No I mean I have a lot to learn-" And the slug took over right then and there. There was a cough before she looked up at the sneering surgical student. "But I know more than you do."

Nova cracked her knuckles.

"I don't know why I placate to you and every asshole at this school. You guys think you're better than me because I'm a nurse. You should know there are nurses far smarter than you'll ever be." There was a slight glow of her eyes.

"You don't know me. I just wear that filial mask of mine so maybe one day he won't regret having me. My dad isn't here right now so I won't." Nova smirked back as she eyed his drink. She raised her hand and

"Time to say bye-" Nova raised her hand and muttered the spell. "Boom." The drink exploded making the student fret

Nova turned around and saw a figure. She crossed her arms.

"I was standing up for myself. He got what was coming to him"

"You sure you wanna challenge me to that one," Ruslan questions, chuckling softly to himself. "Not gonna lie, most of these carnival games are rigged but I know quite a few tricks so I'm giving you a chance to back out now if you've changed your mind on that bet."

“no I wouldn’t do that.” henrik remarked as he turned to look at the other for a moment. he had to admit the carnival wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be but maybe that was due to the slug. the wince on his face for a brief moment. “a five year old would do a lot better than that, aim higher than you need and get that really cheaper and ugly pig toy. It’s the best out of all the cuddles this dick is offering as prizes.”

"And I always need you," Marni assured him back, gaze finding his as he tilted her chin, "ever since we were little, my favorite place was wherever you were. When I had to go home, I was already counting down until we could hang out again. I made those little 'lesson plans' because I couldn't wait--and I was a terrible show-off." She laughed a little to herself thinking back on those days. "I wanted to impress you because I thought you were the most wonderful person in the world. I still do." She shook her head, trying to argue against his points. The weight she carried on her shoulders, that the coven put on her shoulders, he needed to stay far away from that. Yet, she knew: wherever she would go, so would he. "I was born into this," she murmured, "but I don't want to talk about that right now. I just want to be with you." The weight disappeared as he spoke of coming home and looked right at her. Taking his hand with both of hers, she wasn't sure how to put everything into words for him, a feeling this large. "My heart belongs to you." And in that, the answer to his plea: I will never leave you.

The world, for now, consisted of only two, as her body responded to his, leaning closer as she implored him to not freak out about what she said. However, despite what that could mean for them, she didn't regret the words. She would say it again because nothing in her life was more true, more real than those words for him. "I love you," she confirmed, but quickly giving him an out, "you don't have to say it back--I just wanted you to know." But he did, he said them back and more. "You don't ruin things, you make things better. I can't promise things won't fall apart around us, but all I can promise is that we won't. If we're the last two standing, it's going to be us. I'm in love with you, Thomas Abel Campbell, I've always been in love with you. And I'm scared of a lot of things--and I thought this would be scarier actually--but I'm not of this. I've never been more sure of anything. I love you. You're my best friend, my soulmate, the love of my life, and I'm not afraid. You won't ruin this, I won't ruin this. I'm sure."

“I always need you” Abel prompted softly, the words having left his lips before he could counter them – but even then, he wasn’t so sure he wanted to. His hand lifted, gently tilting Marni’s chin upwards with his finger “even when you’re not physically with me” a soft smile eased against his lips as he promised, “you're there.” There was a slight pang in his chest with her words, his touch refusing to leave her as he ached to enclose whatever distance between them he could; the urge both physical and mental. “I do it because I want to.” It was Abel’s turn for honestly now and the words refused to cease, “you don’t ask me for anything, Marni. You take the weight of the world onto your shoulders instead and I hate — I hate seeing that. I hate seeing what it does to you, so I wanna take whatever weight I can. I wanna do that for you.” The sound of her laughter was a true homecoming and he could feel it, warm within his veins as he invited the sound in to stay. Begged, even. His eyes never wavered from hers, lost within them as he so desperately desired to be, “always” he nodded and his tone remained soft. “It doesn’t matter where I am. I’ll always find you – I’ll always come home.” Home was a terrifying concept for him. He’d been passed to and from so many in his life, nothing ever felt consistent and he knew now, that was because his home wasn’t a place, but instead her. The idea should have frightened him, so many asked so much of Marni and now he was asking the most. Don’t leave me. His smile only widened at the sound of her voice, the expression a little lopsided as the love struck puppy gaze remained and he was in a slug induced state of pure bliss. “You did?” there was a hint of disbelief to his tone, entirely misplaced because deep down he knew. He’d always known. “I just wanted to be with you too and now – you’re here and everything is okay again.”

His eyes softened as she offered her reassurances and he continued to fall into her embrace, endeared with each and every word as he leaned closer, as if each word was completely intimate – entirely for them as the rest of the world faded from his peripheral. “You — ” his eyes widened slightly and his lips parted as more words threatened to spill, but instead all he could seem to do was repeat Marni’s, “you love me?” A surge of emotion flooded his chest and he swallowed harshly, frantically willing himself to say something – anything, but he couldn’t force away the fear that the truth – that truth – would complicate things. Despite his inner grapple however, he couldn’t stop himself, he’d suppressed the feeling for so long, forced himself to out of fear of rejection, fear of his own examples of such becoming true for himself, “I love you. Not – not like a friend, but like – I love you, Marni. I’m in love with you, but everything I love falls apart and I'm scared of that. What if that ruins everything, what if I ruin everything? I- I do that, I ruin things.”

"alright, i'll give it do you." she admitted, trying her best to hold in a laugh as she looked down her shoes. "you were right, these were not the shoes for a carnival but you have to admit i look damn good in them." she lifted her calf as she showed off just how good she looked to the other. "sacrifices need to be made in the name of fashion sometimes, laine."
