At some point during the main Sunday evening show (circus/animal performers) the big top tent will catch alight. Circus tents were waterproofed with a mixture of paraffin wax and gasoline, so the fire will spread thick and fast. For those of you with characters involved in this show (big top/animal), you’re welcome to work out whose performance it will be during! Other performers will likely be waiting in an adjoining part of the tent or outside. As for the fire itself, they do have a small fire truck (and city firefighters will arrive after a time), so if anyone would be inclined, they’re welcome to play firefighter. If no one is, though, expect Carl and some NPC rousties to get on top of that. Art will be talking in the Big Top (along with Fiyero, I believe) and will attempt to direct people out as best as he can. People will panic, though, so if others want to help amongst the crowds they’d be welcome to as well. Because the Big Top is at the back of the main lot it borders the back lot and some fire will spread to this area as well. If you’d like it to cause some damage (or even destroy) your character’s home, that can happen (though if they’re currently living with someone, do run that by their player first ;). Because of this, things might get a bit more cramped with people taking refuge in others ‘homes’. (I don’t have plans for this to be long term, but if people did want closer living quarters, I could probably institute a change for the accommodation page). So! During the fire, characters are welcome to save themselves, save some patrons, save some animals, fight the fire, panic, get burned, die horribly, stand and stare in shock, etc.. After the flames have been extinguished though, there will be a police presence. Ambulance (and possibly later coroner?). It’s a bit grim, but people will have perished. Speaking of which, neither Art or Carl will be accounted for after the fire.. so the carnival will definitely be feeling a bit rudderless. There will be plenty to do though! They’ll obviously be closed for that week. They’ll need to sweep through what’s left and salvage anything that can be salvaged. Repair anything that can be repaired. Throughout the week bits and pieces might find themselves replaced, but not everything. Animals and people may need to be found.. and will they ever see their ‘bosses’ again? Please feel free to use this post or the character survey one to plot. If you need any input, let me know! ★ Start Date: Sunday January 12th ★ End Date: Sunday January 19th |
Wait, will the fire last a WEEK? No! Thankfully the fire will not last the week. But the aftermath of the fire will. There will be a lot to clean up, repair and replace. Animals and people to possibly find. Memorials to attend. :E How long will it burn? Long enough! The big top tent will be all but destroyed, as will some of the stands and equipment, and it will spread a little to other areas. Their truck will focus on as much of the main tent as it can, but it won’t be until the city fire brigade arrives that they can get things under control. Who will die? Patrons, mostly. But if you want a tragic way to drop a character, you’d be more than welcome to have them perish as well. :E What happened to Art and Carl? What indeed? Did they perish as well? Did Management have other plans for them? How will they get back on track? The NPC rousties will get to work after things have cooled and hopefully your characters will join in. It’s hard and it’s grim, but they can’t stop and give up. Every day something will be returned to them in tact, whether exactly the same or a little different. What about…? Questions are more than welcome! Please ask them in the comments. :) |
