MENEWSHA SUMMER CARNIVAL 2007Roleplay
The Carnival! Such a place of wonder and extravagance! The array of colors and costumes, the gentle wafting aroma of overcooked food, the streaming crowd of people traveling in every which-way around the various booths and tents. Indeed, this was a sight for all to behold - The Menewshan Summer 2007 Carnival! The din of the crowd reaches a fever pitch as entertainers traverse the grounds, all dressed in a myriad of exotic guises.
An individual confidently strolls up to you, beaming and bowing politely, his somber-looking clothing randomly dotted with what appear to be dried blotches of ketchup and mustard - all of which he attempts to hide as he speaks to you.
"My humble welcome to our Carnival." He says, happily, his posture suggesting his use to more formal events.
Looking away, you gaze around, seeing familiar faces who wave to you excitedly. The scent of cuisine, some familiar, some foreign meets your senses, and you begin to hunger.
All over merchants, entertainers, and a strangely shady character in a trench-coat attempt to garner your attention. Cotton Candy catches your eye, then a stand selling adorable lion and tiger dolls. Further down the way, a mass of rides and games present themselves to you.
The formally dressed individual catches your attention once more.
"My name is Gabriel, I'll be one of your hosts for this event." He smiled once more, shifting nervously to cover the informal stains that dot his outfit. "I do not wish to keep you, so I'll direct you on past me to the festivities!" With a final bow, he allows you to pass.
A sign rests against the wall, indicating the event in big proud lettering 'MENEWSHA CARNIVAL!'
With a deep breath you enter the crowd, and begin your adventure...
My dear Menewshans, welcome to the Menewsha Carnival RP Thread! This is the official thread for roleplay during the Carnival event.
I am your co-host
Gabriel, you might have seen me around. I tend to be more of a lurker than anything, but I tend to spend time in the Fresh Meat, and Information Desk. I joined back in March, and fell in love with Menewsha's wonderful community. If I can assist you with any questions you have for the RPing section, please feel free to PM me.
Have fun!!!
Please note:
To avoid confusion, a canonical time-frame for the hours of the day has now been set. For this particular event, the Carnival RP will be set in Pacific Standard Time. (PST) which is [Seven] Hours behind Global Standard Time (GST) This will mean that the time of day will follow suit with that time zone, (Morning, day, afternoon, night, etc)
I understand that Menewsha is accessed by people all over the globe, but we had to decide on one set time zone, so that there could be a morning/day/night for people to interact in, and PST was suggested by someone other than me.
I checked with our staff about this and sincerely apologize if this inconveniences anyone. Thank you all very much.
