Strange winds have blown in, bringing on an unusually chill winter in New Zealand. The ground crunches underfoot with snow, the days growing shoter and stars holding court in the darkness reigning above. An unnatural cold permeates the town, and the river's jubilant voice is frozen under the ice. Birds abandon their nests for warmer climes, their songs silenced by winter's grim embrace. But the frozen riverbank now hosts a shimmering respite from the gloomy cold in the form of garish tents, joyful shouts, and sumptuous smells. Vaale's Carnival has come to town.

Gaiety and laughter cut through the cold wind, and even the sky-shy sun peeks its face from around the gathering winter clouds. Children squeal with delight and gasp in awe at the sights, sounds, and smells of Vaale's Carnival. The Titan's Wheel creaks and groans as a burly lumberjack tests his might wit a hefty spin, a family rushes giggling into the sprawling ice maze to the north, and dozens of happy skaters flit about the rinks atop the frozen river. Carnival dolls are handed to wide-eyed townspeople as prizes and a menagerie of freakish creatures and glowing lights beckons the curious. Garish skirts and scanty veils call others to a different breed of voyeurism altogether. Treats and wonders abound for young and old to enjoy, and for a time, the harsh winter is forgotten in joyful revelry. There's nothing to indicate any sinister going on whatsoever, as the group surveys the happy smiles of the crowd.

[ Mars was likewise looking over a bit unpleased at the treatment of the beggars, muttering some numbers to himself. He looked to the others.]

I will, [ he spoke, looking to Lis'sa.] If you guys think they take credit? I don't carry cash. [ Because if they do, he's so gonna try to get some cash back for those poor people. He's a bleeding heart.]

[asuma]

It's probably best that we not draw any unwanted attention to ourselves by leaving behind a convenient paper trail. [Minus the actual paper, of course. But you get the idea. Klaus pats Mars on the shoulder as he moves past him to go and purchase everyone's tickets with cash.

Being cautious was something that he'd grown accustomed to over the years. Given the option, it seemed preferable to announcing to anyone who might be savvy enough to take notice of such things that they'd arrived to potentially shut their shit down.]

[Bo sure as hell is going to drop them some dollar bills ya'll once this shit is over with. But seeing as they're undercover atm, better leave it for the end.]

So what's the plan? Split up and cover more ground?

[morethanasidekick]

Dibs on pairing up with Wonder-Boobs. [Yeah she means Bo.]

[lissatrinall]

[ Klaus picks up tickets for entry, and would also see tickets available for certain special events throughout the day: a sack race, ring toss, egg toss, coal walking, and archery competition.

Lis'sa surveys the crowd with a frown. ]

I'm not certain splitting three ways is advisable. I'll go with Klaus and Rebekah - Mars, you go with Kenzi and Bo.

[charismapotion]

Alright then.

[ He nodded some, then looked over to Bo and Kenzi. Alright, not bad.]

Be careful then guys. [ A nod to Klaus.]

[lissatrinall]

That goes for you too. [ one group can break left, and the other right... i'll let y'all decide. ]

[asuma]

[To the left, to the left~

I guess Klaus purchased some of that extra shit too, just in case. But when he hands out the tickets Kenzi and her team get the shitty events like coal walking, egg toss, and sack racing while he saved the less ridiculous and potentially messy choices for himself, Rebekah, and Lis'sa.]

Shall we?

[succubestie]

[Bo heads right then, waving for Kenzi and Mars to follow her.]

Let's see how much trouble we can find, kids.

[She...might not be kidding?]
