The Not-So-Deserted Fairground (Open & Accepting!)

[Feral Fangs]

As Ember asked him questions, he smiled lightly, "It would have been nice to meet my father. But there was very little I could have done for my mother. I remember her ocean blue eyes fading to a milky white as she told me how much she loved me, and how sorry she was that she wouldn't be able to see me grow up." He didn't shed any tears, but it was obvious he didn't like talking about his parents. As she asked more questions related to horses and told her, "I've never run along a herd of horses, but it does sone fun. As for taking care of my hooves, I have special tools made specifically for centaurs to use." When Ember started pulling him towards the Ferris wheel, he cleared his throat, before pointing to his lower half. It was obvious that in his centaur form, he would never fit in one of the carts.

Blake Conti

She/her - vampire - blacksmith - loc: ring toss - tags: Utopia, Varroa

Leaning down a bit to observe the gem further, Blake gave a soft hum in understanding to her simple answer, speaking of it as if it’s quite the normal occurrence. The founder may not necessarily keep up with any sort of human fashion, though even she found the woman’s outfit more closely relating to a character seen in one of those graphic novels, rather then something you would wear casually. Oh but who was she to judge? Covered head to toe in black clothing, appearing as if she’d come straight from a funeral.

She stood back up at the woman’s remark, offering Utopia a slight apologetic smile in response. In addition, she took a mental note to apologize later for her earlier statement, even if he wasn’t bothered by it, roping them both into something without his say beforehand was rather rude. It was then the woman finally offered an introduction, holding out her hand to shake. The vampire processed the name for a moment, making sure she would remember Varroa, considering if that name held any particular meaning to her. She clasped Varroa’s hand with her leather gloved one, being a bit larger in comparison, offering a light yet firm grip.
”Well, Its quite lovely to meet you. I’m Blake, the blacksmith.”

The faun looked down at his choice of outfit, with somewhat of a ashamed look, but then quickly changed it. He then saw the apologetic stance of Blake's face. He smiled back. he then swiftly grabbed two rings. "Would you two mind a game?" He said as he tossed the rings to them. And then pointed to his rules.
"1: NO cheating.
2: Be kind to any and all workers."
His rules were short but that was all he wanted.

“Oh, of course! Thank you very much.” the vampire smiled to him, accepting the given rings with one gloved hand. She followed his gesture towards the rules, tilting her head a bit to the side, keen to not allow her hat to fall off. “Hm, if I may, how many cheaters have you caught before? I’m surprised anyone would try, certainly ruins the purpose of playing a game of chance, does it not?” Blake questioned, taking a moment to line up her shot, twirling the ring between her fingers.

Malum, tagging anyone currently in the juice bar

"Mmmm, things are getting spicy in here," Malum said, burying a wicked grin in her drink as she watched Taurus & Olliver. Malum loved to third-wheel on overly flirtatious people. "One maid dress, coming right up," Malum said with a snap of her fingers. She was quickly getting bored of maid dresses, but the human had asked for it, so that's what she provided. The human's clothes became a queen of hearts/Alice in wonderland style dress with plenty of playing card emblems & wild patterns, as well as some Cheshire cat accessories to go with the theme.
"Seriously tho, is there anything interesting to do around here?" Malum asked, finishing off her drink. Suddenly, another human walked in & mumbled out a drink order. "Ooh, another one!" Malum exclaimed. "Welcome to our little pool of chaos!"

The faun smiled at the response ¨Öh there have been many people that place there rings when i feel dizzy or nauseous from the clones or sugar.¨ he said saying the last two words fast. ¨ this dose include using powers so please dont.¨ he smiled softly at both of them.

Caspar looked at the others and sighed. "The café it is, it seems." He tried to not look too excited, but in truth he was craving some coffee right now. After picturing the smell of that fresh, warm, dark brown drink, he remembered he'd inevitably stumble upon at least one of the guys he came with. Great. Would Ezra still blindly cling to the idea that this was all an illusion? He smirked. That guy wouldn't believe any of this was real even if a creature bit him, he thought.
"Once we get there, I'm sure we'll have enough time for a coffee an a chat before it gets too dark. And if it does, then we'll get to see those lights you mentioned," Caspar said. He flicked some hair away from his eyes and tried to make sense of where they had first come from. "Lead the way?" he asked the siren.

"My apologizes, this is Adreanna but I call her Anna and she's a wendigo shapeshifter." He introduce her to the others. "I don't think they're weirdos, just... different." Grey spoke with a small smile, trying a bit to defend his costumers. They weren't so bad anyways. Grey paused for a quick second. "Dear..? So sweet of you." They said with an eye roll. He turned again, calmer this time, to make another coffee. "So, what do you guys plan on doing here? There is some nice sites around the place I could show you. Plus, I do need to purchase some flowers from a shop for the tables." He said as he quickly motioned his head in the direction of the empty tables, keeping his back towards them.

He finished up the coffee and placed it in front of Ezra. "How much of that can you drink before you crash?" They said with a slight chuckle at the end. "Speaking of, where do you guys plan on sleeping? I assume you have all decided to stay the night." He was curious of these humans. Why had they came to the café? Of course they were hungry but the juice bar was always an option. Plus, they haven't tried to hide the fact they're annoyed by something. He leaned against the counter, straightening out his back for a moment before returning to his slouch.

Donatello R. | Human | Tagged: Ezra, Anna, Grey | Location: Cafe

"Wendigo shapeshifter" the Doctor murmured quietly, their inquisitive gaze dancing from Grey to Anna. They 'casually' observed the wendigo, thinking about what the heck a wendigo actually was. Donatello nor the Doctor were exactly experts in the supernatural so the details of something like the wendigo escaped his mind.

Being distracted and without really thinking about it, the Doctor reached for the latte Donatello had ordered and took a sip. "Oh god, this is awful" they coughed, visibly cringing as they set the cup down heavily and raising their hand to their mouth as they coughed awkwardly. Drinking the coffee was enough for the Doctor to want to retreat and allow Donatello to handle the aftertaste of the coffee. They put their head on the counter, grumbling a bit before letting out a relaxed sigh.

"It actually isn't too bad" Donatello hummed, simply pleased with himself as he downed the rest of the latte. His sharp, attentive amber gaze lifted towards Grey, trying to remember what else he had asked but what was said mostly escaped him since he hadn't been in control. So he looked towards Ezra, hoping that however, he responded helped him understand the conversation at hand since the Doctor was hiding in the recesses of his mind.

They really hated coffee.

23|Male|Half-Elf
Location: Juice Bar
Tagged: Taurus, Anwin,
Malum, Thunder, Anni

Cool, suave and collected Olivier was quickly disappearing as he blushed again with Taurus' words. They were very nice things to say, and he hadn't quite been expecting it - it was normally Olivier saying the nice things. For once, he didn't really know what to say. He looked at Taurus, as though considering a few different options as to what he could do... then he finally said, "Well. Thank you. You may have won this time, but we'll see about next time." he had just been off-guard this time, but next time he'll bring his A-game. "Then we'll see what you do when you blush."

He looked towards the counter again quickly, when he heard someone walking in - and hitting his head, by the sound of it. Olivier cleared his throat. "Business calls." he said, recomposing himself, with a quick wink to Taurus. Then, he ducked under Taurus' arms, and approached the counter again.
The newcomer in the Juice Bar seemed to be a human - and wasn't too clear with his order. But Olivier already had an idea as to what he could mix up.
"No blueberries. Got it." he said, the blush having mostly faded now - though his ears were still a little pink.

He started to get to work, picking up his shaker and a glass, deciding to start with some pineapple and acai berry juices.
"And you get a front row seat to watching me work my magic." Olivier said to Taurus, shooting him another wink.

The consensus seemed to be to go to the Café first. So, that would be where they went. Robin didn't have any qualms about that, and hadn't really been sure where to start anyway, so it was good that they others could make a decision. And, they thought, it would be good to make sure the humans had someone else to eat or drink.
"The Café it is, then. And yes, the lights are really something to see. Especially the Ferris Wheel ones, you can see them wherever you are in the Fairground." Robin agreed.
"It's not too far, maybe a five minute walk? Let's go." they said, and started to walk towards the Café. They glanced back to check that the others were following for a moment, as they walked.

Ezra Callahan
22|Male|Human
Location: Café
Tagged: Greyson, Don, Anna

He glanced briefly as Anna as Grey introduced her, and nodded once out of obligated politeness... though he doubted anything would quite change her mind about humans. That was the least of his concerns right now, though. He was still trying somehow to cling onto any shred of evidence that this still wasn't real, even though he'd already had confirmation that it indeed was.

"Well, I had originally planned to just prove that the rumours about this place were false. That's gone completely out the window." Ezra answered, and then shrugged. He hadn't thought about anything else that he could do since arriving... maybe he'd been hoping that they would have left. He didn't even know where the other humans were.
"I... guess find the others at some point... though they'd probably all point out just how wrong I was, so I'm good right now."

He murmured a quiet 'thank you' as he received the coffee - though didn't immediately go to drink it, as he had with the others. Especially at the mention of a crash. "I normally do pretty well. I don't intend to completely crash while here, though." Ezra answered, though realised that was an absolute possibility.
"... And I wasn't intending to spend the night. I thought it was a case of getting here and then going right back to town." he didn't think that there were any places he could stay the night anyway.

Valiant Astor
"Mid-30s"|Male|Dragon
Location: Ferris Wheel
Tagged: Aoti

He listened to the introduction - and explanation - carefully, "M'Aoti..." he said, slowly, to be clear on the pronunciation. He thought it was only respectful to learn how to say someone's full name correctly. He hadn't heard of the contortionist act, but he believed her - he was a little sad, however, that he hadn't been able to keep as much of an eye as he used to over the Fairgrounds... then maybe he would have known already. Still, he was pleased that new performers and workers were still coming to the Fairground.
"My name is... Vincent." he'd hesitated for a moment, to remember to use his alias name, "And I'm sure it won't matter if you take a little longer for your break - there's no real bosses keeping you to a tight schedule.... or there shouldn't be." Valiant added. Another thing that he hadn't kept up on - and would annoy him if it was the case.

He was a little surprised by the question - but he supposed it made sense. After all, dragons weren't often seen at all. "That sounds a little boring and lonely to me. If anything, perhaps the Ferris Wheel is my treasure and I'm just more generous to share it... to those that are worthy enough to acquire a token." Valiant explained, lightly. Although the fact that he had a cave was nearly accurate - after he'd left, the Fairground must have moved his Vision Cave elsewhere and hidden it, and he had no idea where it was now.

The black haired, eared, and tailed one flicked their tail a bit. The ears twitched and perked, and they nodded a bit. "The lights are gorgeous," they seconded. They then began to follow after the siren one. They hummed quietly, phasing back to their wolf form. Now that they'd calmed down, they were able to get back in wolf form. They just hoped they wouldn't be startled out of it again. They figured they'd be okay, and trotted at Robin's side. They began to wonder something. What they were wondering was if Robin would pet them.

The redhead with the nose and cheek freckles hummed a bit. The lighter tanned and turquoise eyed one smiled. She then looked to Thunder once more, and nodded. She said "Thank you," then tilted her head for a moment. "I don't mind doing a dance, or whatever they do. If that's what you're talking about," she said to him.

She glanced to Malum, saying "Well, if you like water, you could come swim with me. I don't...know much about demons. There's also a Ferris Wheel," she then said. "There's a rodeo you can watch, and a booth you can get your fortune told. I have no idea if any of those sound fun to you," she said. The cute redhead sighed a bit.

The shorter and slender tanned one, with lighter vitiligo, hummed. The green and brown sectoral eyed one looked over. The dark brown straight haired one shook their head. Then they too had an outfit, Alice in Wonderland apparently. They liked the Cheshire themed accessories. They listened as the siren talked to the demon. They looked up again when Malum mentioned someone else. They looked the other human over, not sure they'd been with the group.

The average height creamy skinned Canadian hummed. The blonde and blue eyed, partially blind male nodded. "I think seeing the lights would be spectacular ." That was his two cents, and he put it in. He then began to follow the siren and wolf, who had returned to wolf form. He smiled as he watched the wolf. Not really thinking, he said "I think they want you to pet them." He blinked when the wolf gave a huffy half growl.

He nodded and followed the siren silently. As the Ferris Wheel was mentioned, he looked around and noticed it on the distance. It stood out from everything else on the fairgrounds, but he didn't think much about it. The way it slowly went round and round was a bit hypnotizing, but Caspar managed to snap out of it and noticed the wolf was with them again. Rather, that the werewolf had turned into their canine form again. Great, he thought sarcastically. At least knowing it wasn't an irrational and dangerous beast was relieving in a way. As he continued walking towards the café, he glanced at the Ferris Wheel once again and wondered how long the Fairgrounds had even been in this place.

Taurus: 21 |bi| male (shapeshifter- (human form), teleporting) [location- the Juice bar] job: Security. Tags: Oliver, Jones, Alex, Hotaru, Anwin, Malum, Anni, Thunder everyone in Juice bar.

lol Oliver wants to try again. well, no way Taurus would say no to that. game on. "Oooo, try me Olly I dare you" He knows it's possible so he would double his guard on Oliver. Oliver knows how to squeeze through corners and get away with stuff just as easily as Taurus does. He was going to have fun trying to make each other squirm. This was fun. a challenge for Taurus since most doesn't even dare to upset him. well... the people that actually talk to him don't. It was fun with this little action going on.

Someone else entered the juice bar and sadly he had to let go of Oliver. he slipped under his arm so gracefully. smooth like butter baby! He was immediately disappointed the second he turned around to see ANOTHER HUMAN. -good grief where are all these blasted humans coming from- he thought rolling his eyes. then fixed his attention on the human. It was strange. this human seemed to have a similar mark on their lip. Taurus had a scar on his lip. He didn't like that. He also didn't like how this human appeared stronger than him, bigger arms and stuff. He fixed his position to be firmer with strong shoulders and a straight back. -how dare you look stronger than me? and have that mark on your face. that's mine- seemed Thunder had the same face that Taurus did. He looked at this human with complete and utter disapproval. all while being very skeptical.

Oliver got the shakers out and everything and Taurus wanted to watch desperately but didn't want to take his eyes off this human. like how an animal will stalk its prey. he would not take his eyes off this guy for one hot second.... but how could he ignore Oliver's face? It was difficult and he tried his best to resist. but Oliver's wink got the best of him. his attention was pulled towards Oliver. he gave a short scoff rolling his eyes and shaking his head gently. "Careful Oliver, I might just take over your little business" he said before turning his back to everyone and starts the dishes by filling the sinks. his sleeves were already rolled up, so he didn't have to worry about that.

Thunder: 22 |bi| male (Shapeshifter- (human form) Mind control/Manipulation [location- Flower shop] Tags: Anni, everyone in Juice bar

Thunder turned to see another human that just hit their head. he couldn't help but think, -how do you hit your head on a- door frame that tall?... I mean unless you're super tall you could- then he had to think about that for a second. After a moment of thinking he found himself seeing this new human. He seemed to have a mark on his lip remarkably similar to Taurus. He grew very skeptical of it. -anything but blueberries? how is this guy!?! blueberries are the best berries out there- he was slightly offended by that. but it was ok to have different opinions. but still blueberries are freaking dope it's his favorite berry.

his excitement was quickly silenced by the newcomer. He was very shy. he just went quiet when the human walked in. after the human sat down, he began to observe him more closely by pacing back and forth a bit from behind. He seemed like he went to the gym a lot. He had a nice build like himself and his brother. This was a shifters way of figuring out, is this person a threat or not? again. Taurus and Thunder have a more animal programmed mind. and they like to observe things. learn about stuff and how it works or what it is. something natural that Shifters do no matter what shape they are.

After thunder was done gathering all the information, he needed he ALSO fix his position. he rolled his shoulders raising his chin a bit. "Hello" he said putting a welcoming smile on. "I'm Th-thunder... what's your name?" he asked trying to hide the stutter. He was very nervous.

oh no that's sad. She never knew what it was like to watch your parents die before you. she lost her parents too but was never there the day they died. it sounded awful though. "I'm sorry that happened to you" and then reached out to give him a hug. She doesn't care that he was like 3ft taller than her in the centaur form. she would still give him a hug. she... gives hugs to everyone. "Well as long as you know that she loved you!" Her parents never told her that to her face, but she believed they said it with their hearts. then after a loving hug she let go and continued to walk, "then go find horses, or other centaurs to run with!! what are Ya doing you sad thought" she giggled quietly. The tools sounded remarkably interesting to her "Woh. I'm gunna must see those tools some time. that sounds cool" she liked to figure out how things worked. like human technology. He pointed out how his horse half wouldn't fit on the fares wheel "well can your long legs in a wheelchair fit? I think it can" she said in a bit of a tease. she continued to pull him to the fares wheel because she was excited to go on it.
