There's always a price!
Welcome to the greatest show unearthed!
Welcome to Harvenluna!
You may wonder, what is Harvenluna? Harvenluna began as a massive harvest festival shared around the world during late autumn. Over time, as technology advanced, it became less about agriculture and more about spooks. It is now a night where ptithians leave their home to join their communities for cider around large fires. Children and adults dress up in scary costumes or masks. Scare tactics and parties grew more popular and the idea of horror expanded. Ptithians made decorations for their house with creepy tapestries, red paint smeared on doors, but things remained simple. That is... until the lindosts got involved.
Setting
Despite it's name, the lindosts' Circus of Horrors isn't always a circus. Their choice of venue could be anything, but it's always what they deem would be terrifyingly fun for their attendees.
This year, it appears lindosts will be taking full advantage of the feverous nightmares they find in various Ptithians. How strange it is, that nostolgia can cause such a powerful fear response. Ptithians attending will find themselves in a large vintage diner. Fresh food and delicious malt shakes are being served, but do not get too comfortable in the hazy atmosphere. The door no longer opens to the outside world. This is merely a hub. This feels like a feverdream, the limits of the mindscape are endless when one has absolute control.
The hub is a stable, safe place. Its space seems endless, always enough to hold any Ptithians attending the event and serve them the refreshments they need. However, the doorways, corridors, ladders and trapdoors littered around leads to areas where the stability begins to break down. The farther a Ptithian explores away from the hub, the deeper into broken dimensions they go. These liminal spaces become more dangerous the deeper someone goes, and lindosts have warned of a point of no return for those who act cocky.
Hosts
Vrarnituu "Ringmaster"
The lead of all things Harvenluna. Ringmaster can be found anywhere at any time checking up on his workers or guests. He hosts the final show at the end of the event. He is not friendly and thinks ptithians are pathetic, lazy creatures.
Kiolel "Mint"
Master of games and communication. Mint works closely with Ringmaster to ensure events run as intended. She is moderately friendly, but is not a conversation holder. She will be handling the Occhiolism event.
Pasantru
Only found in the hub, Pasantru can be spoken to at the bar. He is a friendly, small, non-intimidating shadow who is there to handle drinks and break up fights. He can also be found at the arcade.
Events
Ringmaster's Theatre
Now, what a horrible host he would be to make you wander far for his show. The large, "safe" diner has a broad stage of its own. Of course, a dream-hub designed by the one-and-only would need a fitting stage for a final night's fright. Hiding behind massive, silky curtains is a show beyond anyone's nightmares. Victims and performers are here to entertain and even go into the crowd seated at booths and bars to get up close and personal. The show is not recommended for the faint-hearted. A lot more illusionary work is used this time around, since the world around you is hand-crafted by the performers themselves.
Draw or write about your character witnessing Ringmaster's show.
Occhiolism
Oh dear... oh no. What wonderful feat of darkness has brought you here? Don't you worry about a thing, sweetheart, you have been here before, but do you remember how to leave?
You've made a terrible mistake exploring beyond the hub. A lindost greets you with their hands clasped gingerly over their chest, the air around you refracts and you begin to sweat, realizing the silent horror that surrounds you. They explain that everyone likes to play games here and that if you want to go back to the hub, you need to find something. Ringermaster wants a few items that have been lost to this lucid realm. What does he want? The lindost doesn't say, but she assures you that you will know it when you see it.
Draw or write about your character exploring a liminal space to find a mysterious item. The liminal space and item can be anything you want.

Party
Head up the spiraling stairs of the diner and find yourself immersed in the sounds of Space Invaders and furious button mashing. It's... an arcade? With a roller-skating and disco rink too. Aura machinery whirs and disco lights coat the walls and colorful floor every few seconds. Fun, loud music plays and a party is raging as Ptithians play games and chat with friends. Careful... don't lose a game, you don't have 3 lives to risk.

The Mall
A safe area, part of the hub. The diner has a large archway leading into a similarly-themed large mall. Drowned-out eerie music plays over aura-speakers and lights flicker high above. Harvenluna items are sold here, by lindosts and Ptithians. (Other communities can be granted access to sell their stuff within the event.)
