Like some of my colleagues have already warned, be careful if you're headed into the carnival to rescue someone. They don't take kindly to being made to leave and in many cases, they will fight back. If you're not going to request help from the police or the FBI, do not approach without having back up. We've managed to forcibly remove a few parties at the requests of their families, but keeping the affected parties from returning is proving difficult. ~~They're like a bunch of bloody addicts!~~

And keep your damn kids away from that Santa grotto! ~~Can't believe I even need to say that!~~

Private to Police Types
What the bloody hell is that blasted thing? I'm guessing some kind of wormhole related problem they warned me about? Any damage to the Carnival seems to repair itself. The carnies themselves can't even be killed! I shot one trying to get someone's son out of there and the thing didn't so much as blink.

I'm way out of my league here. Any suggestions? We can't shut it down and some people aren't being smart enough to stay away from it.

	Sounds like it's one messed up carnival. It probably is wormhole related. All we can do is warn people to stay away from it and help anyone out when they need it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Understatement of the year, Nick. So this seriously happens once a month or so? Which is basically more of the same in terms of what we're already doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would appear so. I've only been here for a few months. This is the second odd thing I've seen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Third for me. I got here just before the zombies. Very real, very annoying. I've read some of the older police reports though and apparently we missed out on some good quality crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm still glad I missed that bit of fun. I'm sure we'll get to see and deal with enough of it the longer we're trapped here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't start working here right away so I didn't have to deal with it professionally, at least. But it looks like there was another big fight back in June. It's a wonder anyone still lives here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What fight? It's not like most of us have a choice or I'm sure a lot of people would be picking another city to live in by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It didn't seem to be any one thing. More like... everything. All at once. If you can imagine it it was probably there trying to smash things. Then it all just stopped overnight. I meant the civilians, really. Unless they can't leave either, but I think we'd have heard if that was the case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds... bizarre. Right. Maybe they can't leave or this is home and they're not going to be scared off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: filter manc_lion 2014-12-21 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	I had the same thought. The "regular" residents seem to take all of this in stride, as if it's normal. Right... question. For me, we don't have anything like this back where I come from. What about you two? You used to dealing with weird stuff, or no? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was at the carnival and had a run in with some not so fun stuff. I'm willing to bet it's a wormhole thing considering what I saw first hand on it doing. But yeah, no matter what we do people are still going to go, especially with people making a big deal about it because they think it's fun and want to seem all big and bad. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Filter manc_lion 2014-12-21 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Same here. Got into a bit of a punch up, but I've had worse done to me while breaking up pub fights. Same question as I asked Nick and Tamsin... you get weird stuff like this at home? Or no? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Filter saviorswan 2014-12-22 07:03 am UTC (link)
	I ended up dealing with a few things in one of the buildings, but I also had a girl stuck inside with me that we had to deal with stuff. Nothing like this, but I guess you can say I have some weird stuff in my world since it's still a surprise some of the stuff I find out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
