"The circus is in town!"
There seems to be a traveling circus traveling throughout the lands of Mirstone! The atmosphere it brings with it seems fun and light-hearted. Between town to town, the performers sing and dance, leaving a trail of warm echoing laughter that attracts the attention of both young and old townsfolk alike. As they set up their carnival in the Fairgrounds of Mirstone, lights project from the area to announce that they have officially settled into town and they're available for all.
Unfortunately, as luck would have it with all good things, there seems to be an air of suspicion following in the wake of the circus folk. Detective Arrubal and Officer Krylov have approached the Beacon Company in hopes of requesting for the travelers to keep an eye on the actors associated with the circus.
Something does not feel right.

EVENT PROMPTS
1.) Act natural.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
Remember, you are surrounded by the citizens of Mirstone so blend in with the crowd! You want to maintain the atmosphere of friendly banter and fond memories being made, not incite panic. There's a number of things you can do!
Strength test! Roll a d20 (w/ STR modifier) to determine the result. How does it go? Are you strong? A weenie? Or do you just happen to show that miracles do happen?
Play with the clowns! They won't bite you. They just want to involve you in a very fun and safe trick!
Apple bobbing! Use your teeth to get those things! It's all competition. Roll a d20 (w/ DEX modifier) to determine the result.
If you a 1, you get 1 num pick-pocketed from you by a snot-nosed brat. You won't get it back. They're already gone.
If you get a 20, your teeth ends up finding a single num instead of an apple. Nobody knows where it came from but the guy says you can keep it!
Depict your traveler having fun at the circus! While we have some suggestions as to what they can do, you're free to make up your own activities!
2.) Watch the show.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
It's the main attraction of the circus, after all! Why not stay and indulge yourself with a show? There's lion taming, tight-rope walking, contortionism, elephants, OF COURSE CLOWNS, and more! So grab some popcorn and enjoy yourself! Maybe even volunteer to be a part of the show? Show off any tricks you got from being a Beacon traveler! (Do a back flip!)
Depict your traveler's reaction towards the circus! Do they admire the show or did they develop a newfound fear for clowns? Who knows! You do!
3.) Interact with the actors.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
There's a Ringleader, Knife-thrower, Beast Tamer, Clowns, Acrobats, a Snake Charmer, you name it, they sure are a colorful bunch and are not shy to talk to the people coming in, in fact, they love showing off their talent, that's why they're here! Maybe there's an improvised act and the Fire-breather needs a volunteer, are you feeling brave ?
Depict your traveler(s) interacting with a member of the crew, be it just chit-chatting or perhaps they volunteer to help one of them with an act and sharing the spotlight, even learning a trick or two, ever wanted juggling lessons from an expert ? Now's a great time!
4.) Where did they go ?
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
It's not hard to get lost in carnival ground, the place is huge, there's a lot of tents where colourful acts and midway games take a spot, and with the amount of people that wander around, some brought about by the news of the circus itself. But whispers have been spreading, enough so that there's even officers on the case. Can you help find some clues ? Maybe catch some suspicious activities going on behind the scenes ? Are the actors not who they seem to be ?Β
Depict your traveler(s)searching for clues, questioning some of the circus goers or even the actors themselves, or talking with the detective and officer in charge of the investigation.Β
5.) Join us for an RP party!
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): TBA
The DMs are cooking in the kitchen!

INSTRUCTIONS & RULES
[EVERYONE IS GIVEN 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT TO EARN REWARDS.] That is a lot of time, but if you think you will still be turning in something late, you have until the 10th of the month to submit your creation and receive 1/2 of the reward. After that, we will no longer accept submissions for that prompt unless stated otherwise.
[THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE...] Visual creations (ie. digital & traditional artwork) must submit a colored half-body art and literature must submit at least 1,500 words. Everything will be viewed and read to ensure that the submission addresses the prompt it was made for. If we feel that the submission doesn't quite match the prompt, we'll let you know!
[RP LOGS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ACCEPTED.] These must at least be 3,000 words. All of the participants will receive the same amount of rewards, so don't worry about figuring out how to split it evenly, haha.
[COLLABORATIONS ARE ALLOWED.] Speaking of which, yes, collaborations are indeed allowed! And you also don't have to worry about splitting the loot equally. Everyone receives the same amount of rewards!
[IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF YOUR OWN BEACON TRAVELERS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION...] They will all receive the same amount of rewards since they are participating in the event prompt.
[SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT THREAD.] You can find it here:
