Dates: Wednesday, June 6th to Sunday, June 10th. Monday and Tuesday are travel/set-up days.
Forecast: Mild and sunny throughout.
Details: Crowds in Albany are plentiful but hostile, resulting in mediocre returns and trouble for certain carnies.
Optional plot prompts:
Hecklers abound! Aggressive carnival patrons interrupt many a show and have to be thrown out, keeping the security team busy. On Thursday night, religious fanatics attempt to shut down some of the more 'suggestive' acts (Louise, Lola, Sadie), and make a scene before being ejected from the premises. Patrons of a similar ilk visit all the sideshow acts, Charlotte, and Josey, and accuse them of witchcraft and heresy, among other things.
On Friday afternoon, the police show up to break up a fight between some carnival employees and some visitors. Several people are arrested.
After a few weeks of money going missing from the sideshow ticket sales, an entire cash box goes missing on Saturday afternoon, prompting mistrust and suspicion among the employees. Far from being the nice guy he often presents himself as, an irate Tom fires two (NPC) ticket takers and demotes Bailey at the end of the day. Discussions are had over who might replace him as Backstage Manager, and a suggestion box is put out for carnies to submit their names as application for the job.
On Sunday night, the carnival acquires a pair of underfed zebras from a roadside zoo, who sells them for virtually nothing.
