Time	Event
1:32a	Virelay: Carnivale RPG Site         The Ringleader         Storyboards The scent of popcorn and animal shit and sawdust permeate the evening air and the shouts of comraderie could turn to screams of terror at the drop of a ringmaster's hat. A few days ago this was an empty field on the edge of town, choked with weeds, littered with the trash of years' worth of careless vagrants. When the trucks rolled in, breathing exhaust and making the air shiver with heat, curious hands gripped the tilting chainlink fence around the lot to peer as workers hopped out to unload endless pieces of shapeless metal, wheels, hoses. Now, however... now it's as if everything's been there for years. The Carnivale Virelay is in town; there was no advertising beforehand, no flyers or showbills passed out around town, no advertisement in the local paper. There's something here for audiences of all ages. Like thrills and adrenaline? Check out the death-defying feats of the acrobats, trapeze artists and lion tamers in the Grand Tent's Big Show! Cower in fear as the fire-breathers and sword-swallowers show off their talents--- it doesn't seem possible! Or if the Big Show isn't to your liking, sit for a spell while a real Romanian gypsy tells what the future holds in the cards for you... her tarot deck is over a century old and it's rarely wrong. There's a Ten-in-One tent where oddities both human and non wait for your perusal, and a Hoochie-Coo show where beautiful girls perform burlesque numbers for the more mature audiences. There are rides to entertain and midway games to best, and adventure around every corner and behind each tent flap you pass. Virelay is more than a mere traveling carnival. But don't take our word for it, buy a ticket and come on in. You won't believe your eyes. We promise. (Comment on this)
6:02p	The Mansion. Windows have been blown out, rooms are destroyed, the front yard is full of bullet holes, the left wing on the first floor has been marked by fire, and on the roof remains pieces of...well, we're not sure, but it used to be alive. The Attack. It happened in the middle of the night. No one knew it was coming, and no one was prepared for what they would face. Humans and mutants full of self-hate on a suicide mission. After a night like this, something tells me there won't be school for awhile. The Fallout. Dead bodies are everywhere and their beloved safe haven has been destroyed. It's time to decide who you can trust, and who to ally yourself with. Not everyone is as evil as they seem, and not every smile has good intentions behind it. The Reason. It's been seven years since "The Cure" was invented and now, it's starting to wear off. Former mutants who thought they could have a normal life are experiencing a massive influx of power, sometimes rendering them uncontrollable. Some of these mutants hate themselves so much that they think the world would be better off without them. All of them. The Future. With Magneto building up his Brotherhood once more, the mansion destroyed, and Ororo at the helm of Xavier's, everyone is on the brink of something. Is it war? Is it a change so grand no one can yet imagine it? Looks like we'll find out soon enough. MODS | RPG | OOC | WANTED RULES | FAQ | CHARACTERS (Comment on this)
