Hosted by Aine Sidhe and Isnelx
What do you get when you twist normality, mock the system and mix in a dash of magic?...
The Festival of Freaks!
The festival has been designed for all to enjoy as people in masks and costumes will fill the streets in celebration of a different reality. Twisting the very concept of normality and expectations! This is also a grand opportunity for supernaturals of the city to come out and play as their true selves. To mix and mingle with the mundane freely in their true forms (much like Halloween.) It is a day where that distinguished line between the two worlds fades within the borders of the festival as all appear to be the same.
The evening will be host to many shenanigans and tomfoolery as the nominated King or Queen begins the festival by leading a parade of floats made by local businesses from the city through the streets. The King/Queen will be given beaded necklaces and doubloons to throw to the crowd around them, participants are advised to keep these treasures close as they will come in handy later.
During the festival there will be catered food provided by The Crimson Dagger, Petite Sucre, The Chop Shop and other various local shops. While music and people will fill the streets, there will be several small events taking place. One such event will be hosted by Ameline DuBois as she performs a live fire show for the freaks and fools who have come to gather. Cabinet of Curiosities will also be providing tarot readings as an entertainment venue. As the evening carries on there will a special event that will require the beads and doubloons that were tossed around earlier during the parade.
Costumes and/or masks are required for this festival!

Parade Floats
Locals, friends and business owners, get your 'Krewe' together! Get together and create a float for the 'King or Queen' so they may arrive in style for the festival! The floats should be decorative and reflect some kind of theme (Food, monsters, music, nature, etc.)
The ruling King/Queen of the festival will be allowed to choose their favorite float and will ride it first through the parade! During the event players that attend will be allowed to post an introduction for their float if they choose to, following the first float and introduction of the King/Queen.
Float Registrations should include...

New Versailles Fire Department
â—‹ Brief description of the float. (Images optional)
Led by the chief's vehicle in front, the fire department's "float" is a company fire engine, strung up in lights, and a banner on each side representing Station 34. With Richerd, Raphayul, and the rest of the probies, looking like they've just stepped out of a firefighter's calendar. Possibly dancing.

Ferry's Float

Ferry 'Cross the Mersey
â—‹ Brief description of the float.
Totally done by hand; crude, but the kickin' music and the band makes up for that, right?? The float's either on the band's old graffiti schoolbus-turned-tourbus, or some other junker that they nabbed from god-knows-where. In any case, it looks like everything's been pieced together with music-related things: parts of instruments, amps, cords, music stands, speakers, etc. Most of it thrown-away stuff from schools or other places, so it's already a little used, and it won't matter if it gets thrown around a bit.

The Chop Shop Float
Witiko, Cordovan, Paranoid Floyd (Possibly Treble Cleff/Hack)
The Chop Shop's Bayou of Plenty
Exotic creatures of the Bayou = Good Noms
The gang at the Chop Shop will be announcing the winner of the New Sandwich Contest and handing out samples of it to the crowd along with shots of espresso. The float itself will be a giant retrofitted pontoon boat dragged on a trailer and decked out with paper mache, spanish moss, scores of gold and green bead necklaces, and leaves to form massive willow and cypress trees looming over a swamp's shoreline. Half of the boat's platform will be cut and lowered and fitted with a giant tub holding alcoholic jungle juice (swamp water) with frozen fruit fish, ice frogs made from green and brown dyed water, giant gummy snakes, beef jerky cattails, and cheese straw reeds. A bear and gator will be warring on the half in and half out of the water while same game birds hide in bushes, a wild board seems to be sniffing for truffles, a family of rabbits hide peek out of their warren, an owl lurks, deer drink from the water, and neon green lightning bugs made from LED lights twinkle off and on. Between the bear and gator there will be a nylon woven chair with a fishing pole and cooler of beer in case the King/Queen picks the float.
All animals will be made from sugar glass in geometric 3D shapes and within you'll see a heart also made of sugar but there will be lights within that pulse at the same heart rate that said animals do. Colors will rotate and no two animals will have the same heart color at once.
Chop Shop Employees will wear the same sort of designs as masks on their heads representing either their favorite animal or favorite... flavor of animal.

Surprise Event
Participants will be approached by a chaotic group of creatures who can only be warded off by offerings of the treasures from the parade that were tossed from the floats. Dice will be rolled by those approached to determine if their offerings are sufficient. If the creatures are satisfied you will be spared by their curse, however if the offerings are refused dice shall be rolled again to determine the effect of the curse placed upon the player.
When approached players must offer the creatures a treasure from the parade and roll 1d2 to determine if their offering will be accepted.
1 - Spared
2 - Cursed
If the player rolls 2 they must then roll 1d4 to determine which curse they will instantly suffer from.
(Each curse lasts only an hour.)
1 - You have the sudden desire to kiss the first stranger you see. Try as you might, resistance is futile.
2 - You begin to change into the very thing you're dressed up as! (Humans effected by this curse will not remember the transition once returned to normal.)
3 - Your lips cannot resist and you suddenly find yourself publicly confess something embarrassing.
4 - You cannot lie and find yourself speaking the blunt truth during your conversations.
