WELCOME TO THE CARNIVAL!
A large banner touting this reception is erected over the main concourse stage, several people in important-looking black suits, and one woman in an incredibly eye-searing orange one mill about. It doesn't take long before she steps up to the microphone, speaking in an exuberant voice. “Welcome, one and all to the First Annual Destiny City Halloween Carnival! Each and every one one of us on the City Council has worked hard to bring the best marvels and biggest thrills possible to you, our citizens!” The men behind her fidget just a bit with nerves, a lot could go wrong, but hopefully everything is safe. After all, it’s been rather quiet lately in Destiny City!
With a flourish, the rope blocking the carnival-goers is pulled back and the masses let into the transformed fairgrounds. What had once been a rather deserted old park had been decorated, staged, and set with all sorts of goodies. Game booths with their hecklers calling out to any passers-by, over a dozen different rides flashing their lights, and towering above the entire thing to dominate the skyline of the carnival was the spiderweb-motif Ferris Wheel. The sights, however, far from outdo the sickening-yet-delicious aromas of fried food and sugary treats in the air. Things that parents only tell their children they can have one of, while desperately searching for something remotely healthy, which they won’t find here!
It’s Halloween, the workers are all in costumes, and everything is set for a good time! So come on in, won’t you, and partake in the festivities?
