Lacie planned to go as soon as she heard about it but it was ridiculous if you concider the time. It was not the time to hang out as a lady. You would never know what could happen when you were alone. However since she was curious enough, she didn't let it stop her. She had to go and see what was going on. So it did happen that at the openings night she was standing outside the ticket booth, she had just bought her ticket to enter and was staring at the map in her hand. Fiftheen small tents, there was a huge carousel. A bit obvious for a circus or it was more of a festival thing but Lacie didn't care, as long as it was a beautiful thing she might enjoy that. There were a lot of couples here and she felt a bit longely for the first time, she had always been together with her mother or other family members. She quickly shook her head and checked out the rest.
You had a tent with acrobats, one with jars that had smells for every memory that was written on them. She raised her eyebrow at that description but continued on, a rollercoaster as a stargazer, an ice garden, a labyrinth, an illusionist, a tent of clues; the description pointed out that there were stars on the tents canvas and if you counted them all and had the correct number you could win a prize. It sounded ridiculously difficult.
She took a few steps to enter the surrounded area of the tents of black and white. No idea where to start because she didn't even finish reading the complete map. She walked to the biggest open tent in the middle where they sold food and drinks and she ordered a hot chocolate to warm up her hands and took a picnic bench to sit on and continue with the map.
The whole concept of the circus did surprise her, there was an aquarium, where you could swim with the fish and other seacreatures, and once you were done, you would be completely dry. A tent where you could listen to orchestra, made by wind mages. A tent where you could join a ship as if you were on the seven seas and probably much more that she missed since the map said there were hidden pleasures and treasures. Artists that gave shows in the middle of the public with tigers, normal cats or other sorts of performance.
It all did sound lovely and yet Lacie sat on a picnic bench with a hot chocolate, all by herself.
