Sideshow Alley is the name of the area where several games stands and food venders are placed. Here you can play games such as ring toss, fishing pond, strong man tester, arrow shot, coconut shine, monkey races and others where Rosin can win small prizes. There are also treats available such as ice creams, hot dogs, donuts, popcorn, cotton candy and other such variety. Below is a brief explanation of the games.

Ring Toss: You try to hook one of 3 small hoops you are given, over a small pillar some feet away.

Fishing Pond: With a fishing pole with a magnet on the end, you attempt to pick up one of the floating plastic fish on the surface of a pond with a metal plate stuck to it. Every fish has a number underneath it that corresponds to a prize, ranging from very small to okay, as this is basically a luck game.

Strong Man Tester: Swing the hammer and hit the pad and see if you can ring the bell at the top. Prizes for high attempts or a bell ring.

Arrow Shoot: Something that strangely most Rosin find naturally capable of doing. You are given a bow and arrow to try and shoot one of the balloons some feet away tied to hay bails. Inside the balloons are listed prizes.

Coconut Shine: Try to knock one of the coconuts out of its stand with a ball.

Monkey Races: Done when four people play, each are given a hose with a trigger like nozzle and set in front of a mechanical monkey on a pole with a target at the bottom. The aim is to squirt water at the target, the more accurate you are, the faster your monkey climbs. The winner is the one that gets to the top first, and they get the prize.

Prizes: Prizes can range from stuffed animals, dolls, books, board games, goldfish, masks, magic tricks, novelty gags, etc.

Kyler couldn't believe it when he saw it, how did this place end up in the park practically overnight? He looked over the tickets he'd been handed at the gate, and reading the sign that was posted there, he guessed he could get to play on things with them. He sniffed as he passed a peanut stand and enjoyed the smells coming from them, then blinked as he nearly bumped into a construct pushing a cart of some kind.

" Woa!, whoops heh sorry there, I got um a little distracted"

The construct nodded as if to say it was fine then motioned to its cart. Kyler quizzically looked at it and the weird machine that seemed to be making pink fluff.

" Umm.. so what is that?"

He watched curiously as the construct grabbed a stick and put it into the pink stuff, spinning it around onto the stick. When a big pile was on it, the construct handed it to Kyler who blinked and took it in his hand. The construct made the motion of eating and Kyler looked at the pink fluff in surprise>

" You eat it?!"

Kyler took a moment to study it and sniff at it, then gave it a test lick. It sort of melted on his tongue and tasted great. HE grinned and took a big bite of it and enjoyed it thoroughly.

" Ooo thanks!"

With a smile he took his new treat and began exploring the circus.

Chloe couldn't believe the sight that had met her when she had left the building where she lived. All the bright colours had drawn her to the entrance where she had been given some tickets but wasn't all that sure what to do with them.

All the colours and odd things had brought her here where she stood back a bit watching an odd creature with black skin and green eyes rearaging some hoops, she wasn't sure what it was but it looked fun. Looking away up the rows of bright stalls it ocured to her that they all seemed to have fun things to do on them.

Holding one of the pom-poms that hung from her headband Chloe suddenly felt rather nervous. There was so much going on around about her that she felt very small amidst it. She hadn't seen anyone else and began to wonder if she should even be here.

Chloe was getting rather upset when she noticed a construct pushing somthing and smiled gratefully at the familiar sight. Her relief increased when she noticed the tall boy who was obviously not a construct standing next to it holding something pink. He seemed much bigger and older than her and she didn't recognise him but waved anyway and smiled.

Kyler enjoyed nibbling on his pink fluff, it was nice and sweet, he really had a big sweet tooth. Something caught his eye and he peered over at a small girl waving at him. He smiled and wiggled one of his spider legs at her in a way, waving in return.

She wasn't someone he had met before, but she did look oddly familiar somehow. Kyler wondered if he had seen her pass by his house sometime. Being the only other person he'd seen in here, he walked his way over, jingling with the chains on his pants.

" Umm hi there... you.. want some of this? Try some it's nice"

Kyler crouched down in front of the blue cocloured girl and held out his fluffy pink treat.

Ivy wandered around in a confused matter. Her compass lead her in the direction of this place, but it was sorta of hard for the eye to miss when you spot it. Thumbing through the ticket roll she had, Ivy placed her compass in her pocket instead.

She looked around at all the stands that contained weird items in them, but familiar contructs in them that seemed to be waiting for something. As she passed by, they would look at her as if they wanted her to come over. Ivy then saw something she had never seen before. Walking over to the Fishing Pond, Ivy glanced at the goldfish in little baggies behidn the counter. The construct looked at her and waved a hand at the game behind him, but Ivy was too busy looking at the odd creatures in front of her. Their eyes were huge! She giggled and tried to poke one of them, but the construct pushed her arm gently away.

Looking up, the construct held out a hand. Ivy stared up at it and then glanced behind him. There were poles at the counter she was at, and a table in which a tub of water rested with many floating bobbed up and down in. Ivy looked back up at the construct stupidly.

"What am I supposed to do?"

The construct grabbed one of the poles and flicked out the end, a black thing to Ivy, and it hit one of the fish. The fish stuck to it however as it pulled the fish back. Ivy watched as the fish was placed up to her face to be looked at. As she reached up to touch it, the construct tossed it over its shoulder into the pond, where it made a smash plish.

Ivy reached her hands out for the pole, and in return, the construct pointed at the tickets.

"These? What do these do?"

The construct held pointed at the tickets and pointed one finger up. Looking at him and realizing the tickets would let her in, she tore one of and offered it to him feebly. The construct took it and pushed a pole towards her. She grabbed it and smiled. Bending over the counter, she tried to put it on one of the real goldfish. The construct pointed the pole in the direction of the pond and made a motion of flicking it.

Ivy looked up at it and then frowned. How do I get the fish? The construct did the flicking motion again and Ivy watched. She mimicked it, and flicked the small magnet weakly at the edge of the pond, barely connecting to a beat up plastic fish. She stared at it and smiled, not helping letting out a squeal.

She pulled the fish back and the construct pulled the dripping thing off. It turned the fish upside down and showed her a number. She didn't know what it meant so she just stared at it. The construct took the pole from her and pointed at the goldfish.

Ivy looked at where he was pointed and hoped it was saying what she thought it was. "I can pick one?"

The construct nodded and watched as she leaned on the counter and looked at all the fish. She looked at all the pretty colors and wanted the one that was the prettiest. Glancing around, one finally caught her attention. The fish was colored similar to a Koi, with black and red spots, but looked like a goldfish. Ivy pointed at the fish. "That one!"

The construct pulled out the fish and handed it to her, the fish jostling a little bit, but seemed quite docile. Ivy smiled brightly.

"Thank you!" She told him loudly and skipped away with her treasure, the tickets trailing behind her like a tail in her hand.

Ivy continued to wander around the park, taking in all the huge machinary of the rides and the colors of the games. She smiled and looked at all the cute stuffed animals she walked by, happily holding her treasured fish. Putting her tickets in her pocket, she bounced along the stands, gazing into each one to see what they contained.

Chloe smiled looking up at the boy. He was a giant! His spider legs were funny though. When he crouched down she looked at the pink thing, she had seen him eat it so knew it was food though it didn't look it.

"Oh, thank you."

Grinning she gently took a small peice of of the wooly ball and popped it in to her mouth. Her face lit up with delight at the sticky sweetness melted onto her tounge.

"It's so good!"

She gave him a big grin, this place was starting to be realy fun, mabey she should try one of the stalls? Licking her lips to gather up the last of the pink fuzzy that had stuck there she though to reminded herself to get some more of it later.

"I'm Chloe."

Ivy began to glance around, seeing yet another thing that caught her eye. One of the constructs was throwing rings onto a pole about 5 feets away from the counter. He got them on every single time.

Scuttling over to the construct with her fish, the pointed at the rings. "Can I try?"

The construct nodded and held out a hand, signaling he wanted a ticket. Ivy stared at the hand and tried what worked last time. She pulled the tickets out of her pocket and tore one off, placing it in the construct's hand.

Ivy smiled at the construct nervously as its hand closed over the ticket and it looked at her. It then turned around and grabbed three small rings and handed them to her. It pointed to the rings and then at the pole.

Nodding with understanding, Ivy studied the pole. She immediately threw one and it flew over the pole completely, but a foot almost! She frowned and then furrowed her brow. She tossed the second one. It came short by quite a bit. Concentrating hard, she threw the last one. Looks good....looks good....CLANK!

The ring ricocheted off the pole and went in another direction towards the back of the tent. Ivy sighed and looked down at the counter. The construct nodded as if saying thanks for trying and went to collect the rings. Ivy turned around and grabbed her fish. There are more games to try!

Kyler couldn't help but smile as Chloe's face lit up at the taste of the treat. He chuckled, finding it hard to contain it and ruffled the top of her head affectionately as he offered her some more. He offered a hand to her, the one not covered by his glove for a shake of his hand.

" My name's Kyler, nice to meet you"

Kyler looked around the stalls and everything that was going on with the constructs, he decided he'd like to give all of them at least one go each. Kyler smiled back to Chloe.

" This is all amazing huh?.. oh hey.. I know her!"

Kyler motioned to Ivy with a spider leg, seeing her toss some rings and miss. He felt a little sorry for her, but she probably had a lot of tickets left to try again. He gave Ivy a wave and a smile and looked to Chloe again.

" Hmmm I think I might play a game... which do you think looks good?"
PostPosted: Tue Aug 22, 2006 9:56 am


Chloe giggled and took a bit more of the pink fuzzy and putting it in her mouth then taking his hand and shaking it.

"Nice to meet you too Kyler."

Looking in the same direction Kyler was Chloe saw another girl having a go on the ring toss she had been looking at earlier, she too waved at the pretty green girl. aT Kyler's question she looked around at the games, sticking her tounge out of the side of her mouth as she thought.

"That one looks fun."

She pointed at a stall where some furry brown things sat on poles, baskets of balls sat next to them. She guessed you threw them at the furry things.

Kyler looked over at the stall with all his shiney eyes and realised she meant the coconut shine. He figured that would be easy enough, but maybe Chloe could win a prize.

With a bit of a grin, Kyler plucked Chloe off the ground ond sat her on top of his shoulders, keeping her secure with his spider legs.

" Hold on tight, lets go knock some coconuts about shall we hey?"

He made his way over to the stand, fishing around in his pockets for a ticket. After finally finding them, he pulled one out and presented it to the construct.

" We'd like to have a go thanks"

With a smile, he watched as the construct took the ticket and picked up what kyler knew was a baseball. The contruct demonstrated the game by throwing the ball at the coconut and knocked it off. It then pointed to the balls and held up three of its large stone fingers. Kyler nodded, grabbed two of them and held them up to Chloe.

" Here, have a couple goes, I'll use the last one case we need it"

Ivy looked around happily and bounced around with the poor fish in the little baggy. She saw Kyler and smiled brightly, waving back and coming over to him.

"Kyler, Look look! Look at what I got!" She hollered as she came towards him.

Kyler turned his head and looked over at the bounding Ivy, he chuckled at how excited she was over her new little pet. He gave a grin and looked at it closely, trying to keep still so Chloe could shoot straight.

" Oh great!.. that's a nice looking fish, you get that all by yourself? that's pretty good"

He smiled and looked at the fish, as it bounced around in the baggy, he thought he should help her out some.

" When you get a chance Ivy, you should go to the store and ask the contruct to get you the things you need to take care of it... Like a fish bowl and some food. They need to be well looked after"

Kyler didn't know how he knew that, he'd never actually seen a fish up until this point, well cept for the ones on his sandwiches.

" Oh Ivy, this is Chloe"

Kyler pointed to the girl on his shoulders.
PostPosted: Tue Aug 22, 2006 11:07 am


Ivy nodded enthusiastically at the fish when he asked and held it up for him to look at. When he explained that she needed to take care of it, she looked at him in confusion. "So it eats like we do and needs a house?" Her eyes widened. "Is it a person turned into fish!?"

Chloe let out a small queel of delight as Kyler put her on his shoulders she looked around seeing everything from higher up was amazing. Looking down at him she moved her scarf which had been sitting on his hair and took the two lage balls from him.

"Okay I'll try."

Sticking her tounge out one side of her mouth she consentraited on the coconut. Throwing the ball she found it was heavier than she had thought and the ball fell short. Taking the second one she aimed it and threw harder this time. It flew towards the coconut and hit it causing it to slide backwards a bit but kept it perch. Chloe was delighted though.

"I hit it, I hit it!"

She smiled and raised her arms in triumph while resisting the urge to kick out her legs. As Ivy rushed up to them Chloe was still celebrating when Kyler started talking to her though she looked down and smiled waving at the girl.

"Hiya Ivy, pretty fish."
