The Greatest Show Unearthed
Your every wish is our command! Your every whimsical desire brought to life! But I'm warning you... There's always a price!

☽☽☽⚫☾☾☾

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and ghouls! Welcome, to The Greatest Show Unearthed! What? You've never heard of it? Maybe that's for the best, especially for your own well-being. Only once a year does this show come around, the month of October with it's many tricks, and sweet-toothed treats. Who doesn't like a little fright thrown in? And that's where we come in.

The Greatest Show Unearthed, a legend among circuses that still make the rounds of little villages turned cities, and back roads turned highways. Take a step back in time to the good ol' days when things were so much simpler. Classical games, traditional rides, and even a show of curiosities never seen before on Earth. People marvel at the speed this show appears and disappears in, as though simply setting up with the snap of fingers and the blink of an eye. One minute, a desolate lot and the next a carnival of endless fantasies. Dare you step under the iron arch, entering a world of flashing lights, and screams of delight? Sometimes old urban legends are best kept for late night stories.

☽☽☽⚫☾☾☾

What's Asterous trying to do now? Good question. I've wanted to do a creepy circus/carnival setting for some time now, but being plot-less and not good at going past the 'that would be a fun idea' part, it's taken a long, long time to actually act upon this idea.

So, what I'm hoping to get going here is just that, a creepy carnival. This carnival is special though. Only appearing during the month of October, and disappearing November 1st, The Greatest Show Unearthed is, at first glance, a fun place to spend the afternoon with friends or the family, play some games, eat junk food, take in the attractions, and that's it. Beyond the spooks and frights, it's just like any other Halloween attraction around. Except, that's not all it is. The Greatest Show Unearthed isn't just a catchy title so I could use the song, no, this 'show' is something completely not from Earth. You could say an alternate dimension, or even just a different plane of our own, wherever it is, it's not for the human eye.

Nobody knows all the details, sure stories have gone around about this show, mostly becoming those scary stories you tell children so they don't go wondering off at night. And with each new generation, the belief in something truly grim and gruesome becomes less and less, after all, nothing like that is real. To the average eye, it's a carnival, but to those who fall victim to its appeals, to its charm, to its deadly intentions, sees what it really is. That man working the ticket booth? He's some horrible monster. The lady who can breath fire? She's a demon. Everywhere you look are monsters and ghouls straight from superstitions and horror stories. And those lucky enough to glimpse this? They're trapped.

Welcome to The Greatest Show Unearthed.

Probably a slow pace, people are busy and I'm in no rush.

Definitely going to buy some tickets to this show.

Hopefully work doesn't make me miss out on the excitement.

By that, I mean I really like the idea of a creepy carnival. I will never make fun of those 'come see the world's smallest woman' booths again after this, I think.
