PREMISE RULES SUPERNATURALS CAST HOLDS APPLICATION
Two days ago this was an empty lot, an abandoned field near the edge of town. Then the trucks rolled in, big semis huffing clouds of noxious fumes, and able-bodied men jumped out to set stakes in the ground, run string to mark off areas. The townspeople whispered excitedly as the posters and flyers arrived around town, posted on telephone poles and bulletin boards, stacks of them on the counters in shops.
The Dark Carnival was in town.
The tents aren't the gay red and white stripes of the carnivals of yesteryear; these are black and gray, burgundy and purple, dark jewel tones lit from within by lanterns and candles and blacklights. Torches burn at the entrance and a sign warns all who enter that they are lost. The Ferris Wheel is a hulking beast against the sky; carnies walk among the crowd dressed in leather jackets embroidered like a skeleton's infrastructure, weaving expertly between the marks. Barkers call to passersby, luring them in for the sights and sounds. Canvas banners ripple in the wind, which carries with it the scent of food cooking, the hot smell of machinery and oil.
There are cries of laughter and delighted squeals coming from the funhouse, the freak tent, the thrill rides. People walk out of the psychic's tent looking a little uneasy, laughing it off as hokum even as their skin crawls. And some of those shrieks from the funhouse... well, they sound a little too sincere, don't they?
This is the Dark Carnival. |

| Harry Potter time-travel game seeks Nymphadora Tonks, Ron Weasley, Armand Jugson |
[01 May 2011|11:06pm] |
Guys, who DOESN'T love Tonks? Answer: no-one. Well, Death Eaters. Whatever. Anyway. We recently lost our Tonks and we are very sad. Can you fill a Tonks-shaped hole? Remus, Andromeda and Ted are all in play, as are other Order members like Harry, Ginny and Hermione, and estranged family like Bellatrix and Narcissa. And that is just in 2001 - we also play in 1980 (because we're a time-travel game, see below) which means you can post child's drawings and the like for ickle Tonks.
We also would love to see a good Ron Weasley. We've never had one that really lasted, in spite of some talented RPers (including those currently playing with us) giving it a go and then dropping him because they felt they couldn't get a handle on him. He is just so... Ron. And that is hard to play. And we would appreciate it sooooo much if we got one. Harry and Hermione NEED him. Ginny too. The Order are losing so badly and Ron is needed for moral support at the very least!
Finally, a plea for the Death Eater Armand Jugson. His sister Katharina, his best friend (and brother-in-law) Walden Macnair, and his wife Keagan are waiting for him, as are his niece Louisa and nephew Benjamin. We had one a while back, but she had RL stuff and the slot has been vacant now for some time. It is just a shame not to have our Jugson family complete! There are lots of other DE for him to play with too (Rodolphus, Lucius, Amycus, Alecto, Bellatrix, Severus, Peter, Rookwood...).
( As for the game )
