So hop on in, have fun, check out the animals, ride the balloon ride, tube down the waterfalls, eat cotton candy and candied eyeballs, and explore!
The very first sight that greets the party is a tall man sporting a coat of black feathers, large round owl eyes, and wings folded around himself to match. He's beside a cart offering a variety of treats for sale, but the most noticeable is a giant machine spinning out balls of cotton candy in midnight purples and blues. The man is deftly catching the massive balls of sugar on sticks as they come out and dipping them in silver star glitter before setting them out for sale. Truly a sight to tempt the young!bc56 wrote: ↑Aug 03, 2022 5:02 am "What's all this about?"
"You'll see..."
Three people, one large, one small, and one very small, appear on the islands.
The larger one has batlike wings, six horns, and a long barbed tail. The smaller one has just one pair of horns and her tail is shorter and its spade tip has no barb.
The smallest one is held in a sling on the largest one's chest, and clearly has a pair of very short nubby horns.
They look like a mother and her children, one tweenage and one infant, because that's exactly what they are.
"Oh wow! It's a carnival!" Mary runs ahead of her adoptive mother and brother. There's rides and games and look at all the animals!"
Sekhmet smiles. She felt bad about Mary not being allowed to come to the party she hosted last month (it was a much more adults-only event). This is a good way to make it up to her. "I've never been to a real live carnival before!"

The candy is indeed sold without incident, as the vendor accepts the coins and leans down to hand Mary her treat. "Here you go, little miss! the owl-man smiles as he hands the brightly colored candy over.bc56 wrote: ↑Aug 04, 2022 6:48 am "Ooh! Ooh! May I..?"
"Here you go." Sekhmet presses a small coin purse into her daughter's hand. "Sir? I'd like one of those." She points to a purple glob of cotton candy and holds out a few coins.
Assuming she can buy it without incident, she runs along towards the next attraction with Sekhmet following at a leisurely pace behind her. "Don't go too far now!"
Sekhmet smiles as her baby attempts to grab at the little bug flying around them. Mary is looking at one of the parrots. "You're a pretty bird." Her cotton candy is maybe a bit too close to the cage...WarKitty wrote: ↑Aug 04, 2022 8:21 pm The candy is indeed sold without incident, as the vendor accepts the coins and leans down to hand Mary her treat.

This particular section of the carnival seems to be rather flyer themed, actually. Many of the birds are ordinary - hawks, falcons, and eagles on hunting jesses, songbirds in elaborate cages, tanks of bright shimmering butterflies. There's even an artificial cave off to one side that contains bats. But mixed in are a number of more exotic creatures. A sort of small fairy-looking creature flies up and starts circling Sekhmet's head curiously, making little cheeping noises as it does so. Up close, Sekhmet can see that it's not actually humanoid but some sort of enchanted insect, despite the humanish shape. Oversized wings of transluscent blue and green green keep it aloft.
In the distance the group can see some attractions, including a hot air balloon and a flying course.
Koshal casually follows behind the others despite being the tallest. He's always been around Wenomir's height but he's started to shoot past him. For perhaps the first time, he has Faye on a leash. They both agreed that they couldn't quite trust her instincts around so many chase-able animals. Still, it's clearly mostly a formality as the minotaur has no issue keeping the shadow blink dog close.Morty wrote: ↑Aug 03, 2022 9:15 pm Another group of guests has arrived. Perhaps surprisingly, it's commander Wenomir of Vigil, along with his girlfriend (and sometimes boyfriend) Cassandra and his student Koshal. Unlike many, who have come only to play with animals and generally have fun, Wenomir might very well be looking to adopt a pet. But he has some requirements.
"Well, here we are. Now to find an animal that can keep up with me on long runs."
"Hey!" "Hey!" both mother and daughter exclaim. "That was mean, thief!" Mary points accusingly at the bird. "C'mon Mum, let's go look at the kitties over there!" She runs off again, with Sekhmet following at a more reasonable pace, just fast enough to keep her eyes on the excitable girl.WarKitty wrote: ↑Aug 07, 2022 7:21 am Sekhmet and Company
The parrot reaches a beak through the cage bars and snatches a big bite of the cotton candy! The bird squawks out a Thank you! after dropping the treat inside its cage. It has shimmery bright blue wings, almost metallic. Meanwhile, the little fairy bug evades the baby's grasp and boops Sekhmet's nose.
Felandria sees the tent and points it out to Reginald.
"You're a talking kitty!?" Mary exclaims. "You have so many tails! Can I pet you?" Sekhmet smiles, but the expression seems a little strained. She isn't exactly comfortable with the idea of people being pets, and anything that can talk like a person is a person in her book. But she can tamp it down for the sake of her daughter's fun.
Another visitor to the summer event, Honeysuckle, notices a pretty distinctive pair of guests and runs up after them.Felandria wrote: ↑Aug 15, 2022 3:37 am Felandria sees the tent and points it out to Reginald.
Whatcha say, buddy?
You wanna check that out?
Reginald, who is perched on her shoulder, nods, then gives Fel a tiny lick on the cheek and some nuzzles.
Heehee, okay, I love you, Reginald, let’s go.
Fel and Reginald head into the tent.
Oh, hey, Honeysuckle, how goes things?
