Oh Mr. Clown, Oh Mr. Clown

WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Heropa Greenland Park.
WHEN: Sunday August 17th, from 11AM to 10PM.
WHAT: ImPorts participate in the local carnival, hosting their own attractions, helping with the booths and rides, and/or come looking to have a good time. Details here.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be edited.


    Even in the daytime, Heropa Greenland Park appears almost dour in appearance and atmosphere. Employees of the park open the creaky gates at a few minutes before 11:00AM to allow imPorts and soldiers who have been ordered as security inside. Preparations have already started, with thick and colorful streamers lining hanging from one rusty looking lamppost another along the park's pathway. The booths look a little worse for wear and the while an effort had been made the night before, the park grounds are still coated in soda spills, popcorn, leftover hot dog bits, and other sticky and grimy messes. Sometimes the lights in the event booths flicker or burst entirely.

    Needless to say, this place looks like it can use a makeover. While it fares well among its locals and those from Cape Canaveral, it has not been a place of interest among others in the state for quite some time. Right now? It looks more creepy than wholesome family entertainment.

    But that's what imPorts are here for, aren't they? To liven up the place!

    At the heart of the park is where employees have made enough room as possible for imPorts to set up their own attractions, booths, and whatnot. There will be small platforms for some imPorts and bigger ones may need to be shared among each other, scheduling their time slots for their own performances. There will be tables should anyone need it for performances that don't require a grand stage.

    By noon there the line-up park employees had been expecting turns out even better than they had hoped. There are twice as many locals who've shown up, eager to see imPorts in action up close. By 12:30PM the park is bustling with people of all ages and all appear to be having quite the time, despite the occasional issue with the rides such as the merry-go-round (oops, it slows down more than it should), the carousel (it stops at least once every two hours), and the haunted house's lights go down at some point, though this seems to have worked in its favor.

    Kids are screaming in delight everywhere, there are teens trying to do risky things on faster moving rides, and everyone is passing through the center at some point to come and check out what imPorts are going to do next.

    Put on your best face and give them a show they'll remember, heroes!

( Franziska's also in the petting zoo, winding down after a day of showing off her powers. Her whip is by her side, but she's looking surprisingly serene for Franziska. )

I've never seen the appeal of such festivities before, but I believe that this is one of my favorite aspects.

Being around animals is always good!

[Winry smiles, and offers some food that Al had given her to feed the animals. Nubian goats are clustered around her feet, standing on their hind legs to beg for the grain in a sack.]

I'm Winry. Want to feed them?
whippings: (curstey ➙ a von Karma has manners)

Franziska.

( She accepts the offering gracefully, even doing a little bit of a curtsy. )

What is it that these animals eat?

( She gestures at the goats. )

Al gave me some crackers to feed them. But goats will eat grass, bushes, scrub, grains...I've seen them eating paper!
whippings: (pause ➙ so boring I almost fell asleep)

( She kneels down with some of the crackers in hand, encouraging one of the goats to come closer. )

Paper? Really? They're not very discerning.
hands4healing: (Simple smile)

No, they aren't. [Winry chuckles as the goats swarm Franziska.]

Careful! They'll knock you down.
