Genessia Carnival
The week of the carnival has arrived! With the combined effort of paid workers, volunteers, Azura, and those Azura decided were going to help her (Looking at you Fam), the setup has gone without a hitch. Those who come by the large park in Genessia City during the morning and afternoon of the 16th will see the carnival in various stages of completion. It isn't the sun starts to set and the sky begins to burn the colors of pink and orange with a topping of blue that the lights on the carnival tents and other structures come to life.
THE CARNIVAL IS ON.
It's clear that the carnival takes up almost all of the park; it's setup done so that the rides, attractions, booths and other assorted portions of the carnival are setup around ponds and lakes and take advantage of paths in the park. At the entrance are a myriad of food stalls, while the bigger rides are further in the back. In between are smaller attractions like games, but more importantly this is where all of the booths for the residents are set up. Several rows deep, the offerings here are wildly different and each engaging in its own way. Lastly, the larger attractions of the Carnival are organized in the large central portion of the carnival where a large area has been cleared and sectioned off in 4 large rectangles to house each with plenty of room.
Carnival Fare
- Food And Drink - There are so many smells that sometimes your nose might be confused. From the scent of roasting meat, to the smell of sugary sweet cotton candy, the myriad of scents mingle throughout the whole carnival. There's an entire section of picnic tables for carnival goers to take a load off and eat their fill. The admission ticket even paid for complimentary drinks! However, there are plenty of stalls that are offering much more interesting options, including alcohol (for adults only!). Food ranges in price of course, and unfortunately there are a few stalls that might be overpricing their food...
- Rides and Attractions - The carnival isn't complete without classic carnival rides. There's a ferris wheel, teacups, several different merry-go-rounds, as well as a SUPER ROMANTIC Tunnel of Love. For the more adventurous there's even a few smaller sized roller coasters as well as an interesting looking magically powered water slide that's powered by a couple of local wizards and a "Doctor". One of the most popular rides seems to be the bumper cars, where each car has the chance to change shape on impact. Lastly for those who are brave enough there's a 2 story haunted house of mirrors full of jump scares and atmospheric music.
- Games and Stalls - THIS is where all of those stalls that were signed up for are. Of course, they make up the bulk of stalls, though the ones that are food oriented border the area mentioned earlier. Other booths such as shooting ranges, pingpong ball toss, fortune tellers, toy building booths and even a couple of booths where you can fish up your own little fish pet are here. Careful though, some of these booths are lowkey ripoffs, since they were largely built by volunteers. Should you get scammed it's wise to try and find security rather than handle it yourselves.
Main Attractions
- Randomized Plays - These plays are held nightly, but they're not your traditional plays. Participants are chosen from the audience who paid admission! On top of that, the roles are randomly assigned. You never really know what you're going to get, so in the end the plays come out a lot like improv. They're also largely hilarious, unintentionally or otherwise as often the two plays wind up intermingled! Once, Rumtumtugger wound up playing the part of Belle, while Gaston had to do a solo song all on his own... In the end, it'll be up to you what role your character plays, but it's never quite what's expected. Behind the scenes must be a riot no matter what!
- Obstacle Course - One attraction at the center of the carnival seems to weave around the other three, and out into the grounds itself. It's a complicated series of obstacles, from a pit of inky, oily water, to slippery bridges and swinging portions that need to be dodged. Portions of the course are even quite vertical, offering a strenuous climb as part of the challenge. This course is not for the faint of heart, and many will find themselves having to give up halfway through, or even being disqualified by being knocked out of the course. Those who choose to work together might make it farther but in the end only one can win. Be prepared for betrayal if you take that route...
- Eating Competition - There's not just one eating competition during the week of the carnival. Instead, several are held throughout the week. Hotdogs are first, followed by pancakes, then burgers. After that, towards the final three days of the carnival the bigger competitions start.
- Hotdogs - how many can you eat in 5 minutes?
- Pancakes - how many can you eat in 5 minutes?
- Burgers - how many can you eat in 8 minutes?
- Whole Chickens - You have 3, can you eat them all in 12 minutes?
- Whole Turkey - You have an entire turkey, how much can you eat in 10 minutes?
- 6 Tier Chocolate Cake - Finish the whole cake to win. (Hour Time Limit)
Those who have supernatural abilities are given an extra challenge to make things fair. For those who eat themselves sick there is a medical tent nearby, and of course plenty of room for a crowd of spectators.
- Jousting Competition - The colorful, campy and overall cheesy look of this jousting competition almost looks like a childish version of the competition. However, the prizes are real. Instead of the prize for the winning "knight" the winner of each match will be able to earn a fair sum of redbills! It's enough to cover the entry fee paid for the competition and then a couple hundred on top of that. Each participant chooses their weapon, but they all have different strange additional abilities depending on their color...
- Yellow - sparkles on impact
- Red - screams upon impact
- Green - slimes whatever it hits
- Blue - freezes what it touches for 3 seconds
For this competition special abilities beyond that of a normal human are dampened by special units hidden in the ring. Disabling them would of course, wind up in the participant being disqualified.

Fairy Tail's Booth <3
A- Illusion magic show:
[The ever so teeny tiny Mavis is surrounded by wild animals: a horse, a rabbit, a fox and now... a deer.]
Here's the deer you requested! [A little boy claps his hands happily.] Anything else? Anyone has any other request?
[[ooc: Other members of FT are welcome to join her to awe the audience.]]
B- Delicious Cookies:
[In between two illusion magic shows, Mavis piles up little bags on her booth counter. Each bag contains about half a dozen fresly baked cookies of various flavours (sugar, chocolate chip, caramel).]
Cookies! Who wants some freshly baked cookies? The profits from the sale will go to a charity in Fayren.
-------
[Every now and them, Mavis leaves the booth, trusting Mira, Erza or Tatlyn to take care of it and look after the cookies. She loves carnivals and there are plenty of things she wants to do!]
C- Eating contest:
[Mavis has just started digging into the sixth and last tier of the chocolate cake and she still has 10 minutes left. She can do it! Will you come encourage her?]
D- Wild card!
[Whether it is to do something challenging, silly, funny or just to walk around and talk, Mavis will easily be convinced. It's so nice to have a day off!]
A.
He's hanging back even when the display ends, too busy mulling over different theories to realize it's done.]
no subject
As the crowd clears the tent, Mavis notices Uai standing by the entrance. Lost in thoughts. She smiles at him.] Hey, Uai. Didn't see you back there. Were you here for the show or...? [Was he looking for her?]
no subject
Yeah, uh, definitely. [He's looking around, trying to figure out what happened. How long has the show been over? Has he been in the way? It's clearly flustered as he tries to cover his own tracks.]
Just thought I'd stop by, or something.
no subject
So... What did you think of the show?
no subject
It was great! Your magic is really impressive. Are all of you at Fairy Tail that well trained?
no subject
[She's had decades. And she founded Fairy Tail, so...]
But I would say all S-class mages are, yes.
no subject
Cookies!
But Tatlyn did not help at all with these cookies. They are safe. Elin humor can be unsettling.
Instead, Tatlyn will standby and just play merry tunes on her tin whistle. Mirthful folkloric melodies, melancholic, all sorts of genres and feelings expressed through sound.
Tatlyn is here to chat regardless. She could use a break from playing her instrument.]
no subject
[Mavis frowns.] May I ask what your selling speech is?
no subject
I'm glad my music helps~
As for my sales pitch?
[She coughs to clear her throat.]
"Please try one of our magically tasty cookies. I promise I didn't bake them with salt."
[A wry grin.]
Just kidding. I didn't even help bake them. Mirajane does all the pitches.
no subject
Don't feel bad. Mira is a great cook.
Are you having fun at least?
no subject
[Happy twirl~
She's also not the slightest bit concerned about her sales pitch. She just made it up right there on the spot.]
As long as I'm with friends and get to play my whistle for people, I'm all well and good. What are you up to now, Mavis?
no subject
Trying to have as much fun as possible, of course! [This is a carnival after all and she loves carnivals. Now that she can actually enjoy them.]
no subject
And you don't plan to do have fun alone, are you?
no subject
Only if nobody volunteers to come with me~
[She winks at her. That's your cue, Tatlyn.]
no subject
[Tatlyn boops back with her own finger. Then finally gets out of the personal space.]
Hey, we should look for some food stalls with fresh meat. Or, where do you want to go first?
no subject
[Then, she quickly grabs the first member or resident of FT who happens to pass by and entrusts them with lookin after the booth.]
Fresh meat? [Mavis slightly scrunches up her nose.] I'd prefer cakes.
What about we go on a ride or try and do some games?
no subject
How about cakes with meat baked inside?
[She can't help it. She's a wolf.]
I heard there's some kind of rubber ducky game. And I also want to try the haunted house and the ferris wheel.
(no subject)
B.
He laid there silently after taking a good nap. Wondered how long it would take them to realize who was behind them.]
B.
snoringresting in his sleeping bag on the floor. At the sight, Mavis can't help but wonder if it's as comfy as it looks.She crouches next to the bag.] Thanks for the help this morning. But it's okay for you to go back to Fairy Haven now, you know, if you're tired...
Re: B.
Naw, I was just taking a little---
[He caterpillars himself upright before unzipping the bag from the inside and merges out.]
--nap.
[He stretches himself out first before folding his sleeping bag up.]
Time and moments are precious. Can't waste them.
[Yes Mavis, may as well get used to him randomly sleeping if it benefits the time and himself.]
D
Of course, it was a chocolate cake.
When things had finally slown down at the tent, Zeref took his opportunity to approach Mavis. He'd been happy to come along, but he also didn't want to distract her charity functions. She was Fayren's Guardian, after all, and as such, she was representing more than just Fairy Tail. He took a seat next to her, his breath smelling slightly like churros. }
I'm still surprised I came to something like this.
{ This many people? With his curse? Of course, Mavis had pointed out earlier that simply by being there, they were knowingly putting lives at risk, and all for the sake of publicity for the guild and for politics. Maybe that was enough to keep it under control. }
Is this a good time to talk?
no subject
She looked a him, and nodded.] Sure. Always. What do you want to talk about?
no subject
{ He doesn't dwell on it, even if he knew Mavis would have waned to go get more as soon as this conversation was over. He knew her. She'd never let him get away with eating anything she knew he enjoyed without her, especially not for the first time. }
I was just curious if this carnival will have fireworks, too.
{ She should be able to guess why he's asking immediately. }
