The circus is in town! Whether you live in a small town in England, a city built into the trees, a space ship docked on a space station, or good old New York City, somehow there's been made enough room for the big top and a dozen smaller tents, a walk full of games and attractions, and a ticket booth with a smiling attendant ready to take your money to show you a grand time at the greatest little show in the multiverse.

If some of the shows seem just a little off, surely that's just your imagination, or the amazing showmanship of the circus workers. Surely there's nothing really weird going on here.

The Greatest Little Show in the Multiverse is a fantasy panfandom game with mild horror elements set on a traveling circus. Characters can join up of their own volition, can be nabbed from their homes, or can AU into the circus as a long-time carnie.

Do you want to meet the Ringmaster?

This is the permanent AC page! We don't track comments or posts for AC, but we do ask that you check in once a month to let us know your character is still around, doing their job for the circus, and interacting with their fellow carnies.

Please make a blank comment for yourself below, and reply to that before the end of the month to remain in the game. We will post a reminder before the end of the month. If you have extenuating circumstances, please let us know, and we'll mark you as still with us even if you can't reply that month.

The circus wagons are variable on the outside, magically cloaked or even shape-shifted to match the technology and culture of the place they visit. Sometimes they're actual wagons, sometimes they're trucks, sometimes they're spaceships, and one memorable time they were whales with structures on their backs. No matter their appearance outside, their insides stay the same.

There are a couple big wagons for the animals, a handful of wagons for props and costumes and the tents, two more for food supplies and kitchens, one shower wagon (with actual plumbing, somehow), and a number of house-wagons for the circus employees. There are four curtained bunks with storage, one bathroom and sink, and a little table with food storage and a hot plate in each.

The wagon assignments are below.

The last few days of a stop are always either the slowest, or the busiest. The gray days of London in the autumn don't seem to be helping this to be the busiest, with rain driving customers away.

There are still some customers jogging between tents and ducking under game awnings, using coats and hats to try and keep the water off, but tips are few and far between, and a lot of audiences are empty, leaving performers sitting and waiting, or ducking into each other's shows to watch or just say hi, and those on the game alley shouting across the aisle at each other. Food vendors move up and down the aisle and tents with hot cocoa and kebobs to keep people warm.

A few people are out in the city proper running errands for themselves, each other, or the Ringmaster, often in pairs. Maybe the goal is to find six spools of ribbon in one exact color, or to capture a whole bowl full of raindrops from under a specific shop sign, or to replace some pants you tore in your last show. Whatever it is, you're down to the last day to find it.

Are you determined to put on a show despite having an audience of five? Are you chatting with your fellow carnies, bored with the slow day and wondering where you're going next? Are you seeking out something strange and confusing in jolly old London with a friend?

Or are you determined to enjoy the circus on its last day in your city, not expecting a surprise in store for you when it starts to pack up its doors tomorrow?
