"Carnival"

First topic message reminder :

This is a role-play event which occurs after the meeting in Fourtrees #2.

An abandoned carnival sits here, forlorn and with an unwavering silence that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand straight up on end. In the center of the carnival sits a tall pole- and, at the top, a flag- the flag which originally caught the attention of the wolves at the Gathering. Now that the meeting was over, Shadestar led a group to this place in order to investigate and hopefully put a stop to any Twoleg activity. However, it seems like there hasn't been any for an extended period of time. There's an old, run-down ferris wheel and a couple wooden rollercoaster, as well as a funhouse and some booths- one for selling tickets, many for receiving prizes, and many old food and beverage booths. There is a sign in front of the entrance- CAUTION, NO TRESPASSING- but of course the wolves cannot understand and enter anyway. As you walk in, it seems at the corner of your eye you see a light flicker. Turning, you only see the broken, shattered bulb of an old colored bulb that decorated the carnival itself. How curious... and also, how creepy. Something doesn't feel right- something must have happened here.

Apachepaw smiled at Shadepup, "it is kind of like an inside look as to what the twolegs and do." he said, sitting as he took in the large structures in aw, " Its rather terrifying to think that such awkward creatures could do something like, what ever this is."

"Yea, it's like this one time, I heard a story about two-legs. But it was a creepy two-leg." He said. "It looks like something happened here doesn't it?"

Snowpaw looked around, "Sure, let's do it," he replied to Silverpup in a low voice, he started walking toward one of the giant wooden things, he stopped and turned around to wait for Silverpup.

"Ok lets go!" She quickly silented herself slipping behind him. Making sure no one was following she grinned and stood at his side. Sniffing and pawing the hard cold ground "What do you think they did in these places?" Her voice soft and curious.

"I don't know," Snowpaw said. He looked back at the wooden things, "maybe it has something to do with those giant wooden things. Let's go check 'em out!" he raced off to investigate the strange things.

She gathered her strength and leaped after him her legs quickly covering the distance between them. She looked wildly at the twisting floating trail. She trailed off and walked onto the creaking tracks and looked up.

Snowpaw walked onto the strange object beside Silverpup, he walked up the wood a little ways and looked up, "Wow, that goes really high up," he said.

"Do you think it's safe up there?" Her voice small and a bit scared. She began climbing a little ways up then looked back at snowpaw with a smirk.

Snowpaw took another step, the wood creaked under his paw, he yelped and jumped back, "it doesn't seem very stable," he said, looking through the cracks, "what if it falls through, I don't know if we could survive that fall," he looked back up at Silver.

She frowned but she knew it was right even trees were tall enough and cause a deadly fall. Bouncing back to the entrance and tilting her head. "How about we check out that place over there!" Her eyes wide it was a light pink and dull red. A boat was rocking slowly in the water she began padding towards it.

Snowpaw carefully walked down to the entrance and followed Silverpup, when he got to the pink and red stall he began sniffing around, he went over to the boat, he looked back at Silverpup and asked, "what do you think about this?"

"I think it looks ok..." she said trying to look past the torn dull strips off glittery paper hung from the cave. Hopping into the boat she jumped making sure it was sturdy. Then patting her white paw on the floor next to her. "It looks like it could be fun!"

Snowpaw didn't need much convincing, "Ok!" he jumped into the boat, making it rock, "woah," he said as he lost his balance and almost fell over, he managed to regain his balance and sat down next to Silverpup, "so..... how do we make it move? It seems to be stuck in place," he looked around, trying to figure out how to get it to move.

She spotted a rope and saw a big red button. She pressed the button lightly making the water bubble and slowly push the boat. Then undoing the rope they headed towards the tunnel she crouched under the wall of glitter strands. It was dim inside things hung from the ceiling and music cracked lightly eerie and unable to hear. She heard rumbling from the ledges of the tunnel and shuffled to Snowpaw's side.

Shadepup went to explore the wierd fun house.

Snowpaw shivered when he heard the spooky noises, he crouched over Silverpup protectively, and prepared to protect her if something jumped out of the darkness and attacked them.

A large plank crashed onto the boat creating a large hole. She looked uneasily at the dark black water. She dug her muzzle into his chest. Then leaped into the water she shivered paddling strongly then crawled to the ledge. She trembled and cried out "Paddle!" Her voice sorry and scared she wasn't to sure about this. All of a sudden the entrances were blocked and they only had the eerie glow of the old dusty lights. She shuddered in fear and looked around not feeling safe.

Apachepaw smiled, "I thought all twolegs were creepy." he said, standing to follow Shadepup.

Snowpaw jumped when the plank crashed through the boat, he jumped out of the boat and swam over to the ledge where Silverpup had gone, he climbed onto it and shook the water out of his coat, he walked over to Silverpup, "what happened?" he asked, shivering.

"I don't know but I think we are trapped..." she looked at hole in the roof. Small but it was just big enough to light up the place a bit more. "I'm sorry I got us into this...I should of known this place wasn't safe" her frown was apolegetic and eyes sad. She was cold so she wrapped her neck around his "The water is very cold!" She said her body shaking slightly.

"It's not you're fault," Snowpaw said, licking Silverpup on the cheeck. "Don't worry, we'll be fine," he whispered in her ear, "all we need to do is find a way out of here," he looked around.

Shadestar walked straight into the entrance, completely ignoring the sign (not that he could read it anyway). The carnival was completely abandoned. It seemed some of the rollercoasters were falling down now, the wood rotting away and completely gone in some places. The ceilings of the small Twoleg houses had collapsed in on themselves. He could see many peculiar animals laying around. Walking over he sniffed it. Sure it was dead, he bit into it and tore, seeing the fluff falling out. Growling in confusion, he walked away and left the body there. Looking up, the tallest rollercoaster caught his eye. It was still intact, though moss was growing up its sides as if trying to strangle the wooden beams. Hearing Skypaw's words, he said, "No one is keeping here, you can return to camp at any time." he said. Hearing the sound of iron on iron, he turned and saw the carnival gates shut with a bang. "Well nevermind then." he growled. "Everyone stick together. We don't want any accidents." he said loudly, not noticing some of the pups had already disappeared off. The moon was still high in the sky, though setting, and the light casted an eerie glow on the already creepy place.

She giggled at his lick and stared at the water. "I hope so..." she grumbled softly. She could swear she felt breath on her neck but she shrugged. Then yawned and settled her head on his shoulder and leaned on him.

Snowpaw felt better feeling the warmth of Silverpup's body, he looked up at the hole in the roof, "too bad we can't get up there," he said, noticing it was barely big enough for them to squeeze through.

"But they say he was creepier." Claimed Shadepup.
