The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling CarnivalThe Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival is here for the first time in Diagon Alley. Sponsored by all your favourite shops of Diagon Alley, the carnival is here for the summer! With magical rides and games, food stalls, knick-knacks and entertainment, this is a party for all ages that you won't want to miss.
It's hard to tell which sense hits you first, the sound of all the different creatures or the smell of them. Either way, you realize that there is a magical petting zoo just behind one of the rides long before the place becomes visible. In front of an enchanted tent is a medium sized enclosure that contains an array of young magical creatures. Transforming rabbits, crups, nifflers, puffskeins, and knarls are just a few of the creatures enclosed in this pin. There must be some shield charms in place as the baby clabberts climbing the enclosure can't seem to escape, not that they've stopped trying. The charms won't keep you from heading in through the gate to play with these cuddly creatures though, and you're more than welcome to!
For a sickle one can get a small bag of treats from the carnie stationed behind the small kiosk by the tent entrance. The tent itself contains a couple of creatures a bit older and more dangerous than the those found in your local pet store. And if you're old enough, the carnie will grant you entrance. Stop trying to figure how they acquired these creatures, and take a look around at the augureys, streelers, and two young three-headed dogs, each in their own large enclosure. Wild winged-horses take residence in the center enclosures, hooves occasionally stomping the dirt in agitation.
Do you risk petting them? No. The charms prevent it for the ones that bite atleast, and one will even alert the carnie so he can kick you out for messing with his creatures. But do enjoy walking the through the circular tent if allowed in, and enjoy the enclosure out front as well.
OOC: Feel free to interact with the Petting Zoo Keeper Jethro Doge (grangerfan8), chat, play and enjoy the company of some cute animals!
Brad smiled at Alex as she began to speak to him, at least they were on good terms and the little accident before was long gone. Good. It was better that way. Brad moved his feet slightly on the muddy ground and wondered what he should say next, hmm. "Oh no it's fine, it's the past" He pressed holding his hands up to stop her talking and saying sorry any longer.
He turned towards the zoo again as he noticed Alex doing the same. It did look a bit grubby and yeah it stunk but that wasn't news to him. It was nice to come to the zoo again, the last time he had been to one he was far younger. Sigh. But now was his chance to go around with a friend, good. Brad turned to smile at Alex when she accepted and entended his hand, "I'm Bradley Wills"
AWKWARD. "Alright, then." Alex gave a nervous smile. "You know, I've never been to a zoo before..surprising, isn't it? " At least, she didn't ever remember going to one.
So, yeah. Alex was actually excited to visit the zoo for the first time in her life. She turned to face the guy when he introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, Bradley." She paused for a second and asked, "Do you mind me calling you Brad? I mean..only if you want.."

Brad really wasn't that surprised to hear that Alex had never been to a zoo before. Nothing against her of course, but he could actually see that. Well best make this visit worth a lot then ey? He told himself as he smiled at his new friend. "It isn't actually" He said chuckling before turning towards the entrance once more to actually make their way into the place.
"It's nice to meet you too" He said turning his head to look at her, he then made a gesture as if to say 'after you'. Shurgging he told her, "No not really" He smiled yet again and walked forward into the zoo itself.
Morrigan wandered over to the Petting Zoo section of the carnival, still not entirely believing she was being paid to come here. Still, it was for a good cause, and while she wasn't as zealous about animal rights as some of the others she worked with she still loved them and wanted them to be in comfortable surroundings.
She looked over the outdoor creatures before heading over to someone who looked like he was part of the display and wiggling her fingers at him in a wave, "Hey there. What's in the tent?"

He did his best to keep a straight face and just look like any other tourist. He walked over to the only man in uniform out there to ask some questions. "uh, sir, I have some questions about the animals you keep here.".
Clad in muggle clothes to not raise immediate suspicion Clarissa headed down to the carnival’s petting zoo. From a flier she had read that they had various creatures on display some which you could pet and feed and others which were slightly more dangerous. Pulling back her thick red hair with a headband she walked over to where Morrigan and Jack were standing; looking at some creatures. In a low tone she asked "Have you two looked at any of the creatures yet?" They were there to see if the creatures were treated well or if they needed to take action.

...
.... The carnie stared at the man.
"I KEEP them in cages." Duh. "Feed 'em what they need to be eatin, and I don't think it be any a your business where they sleep when 'not on display'." Jethro's matched the man's tone mockingly while still giving him the EYE. "You've never been to a wizard carnival?" Another one, huh? The man supposed this place was crawling with muggleborns. More than when he was growing up. "If ya wanna know about the carnival, ya need to be workin at one. We don't give out our secrets to passerby's like yourself."

This one got suspicious looks too, since she seemed to be speaking with both the young lady and this, this guy. But Jethro said nothing since she wasn't being all nosey and trying find stuff out about his creatures. The man fished out another peanut and gave the entire thing to Juju Bee. She would need proper jarvey food soon.

Alex wasn't sure if that was an insult or not but she decided to go with the latter. Even if he thought that she was a spoilt brat who hadn't even visited a zoo before..well, she didn't care. She gave him a small glare when he laughed. Was he laughing at her? At Alex? PFFT. She folded her arms and turned towards the zoo again.
"Thank you."Alex said, before she stalked off into the zoo, really hoping to see some really interesting animals.

Okayyyy he had insulted her. He hadn't meant to it was a joke, the same sort of joke he'd throw at Emily. With Emily she didn't mind she just threw something back but with Alex maybe now. He frowned and watched her walk away from him. Okay he'd was an idiot and he knew it.
"Hey wait, I didn't mean to insult you!" He called running after her. He didn't have to run far before he took hold of her elbow and pulled her around to face him. He took hold of her other elbow lightly and looked into her face. "I'm sorry. It was a joke" He watched her and wondered what she would say in response.

Alex could feel fer face heating up. What was wrong with her!? Yeah, she used to be rude..all the time..but recently, she'd started changing the way she spoke to people. She'd learnt a lesson and she really didn't want to be known for her silly behaviour. Yeah, she should definitely turn around and apologize to Brad. But--
He just pulled her around and started to apologize. "No. No wait.." She bit her lip. Gosh, she felt really bad. Ugh. "Look, I'm sorry..it's my fault. I mean, I should have known it was a joke. I know I acted really immature..I'm so sorry." She wondered if he would accept her apology. She really hoped he would.

Brad looked at Alex a moment more before letting her go and stepping back, his arms fell to his side and he said nothing. He just looked at her but after a moment more he nodded accepting her apology. They'd both been in the wrong, him more than her. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said what I said" He tried again.
He turned to the zoo once more and wondered how their conversation had gone from good to bad. So suddenly. It shouldn't have done that. "Shall we continue?" He asked finally turning back to her. He gave her a small smile.

"Okay, look. I might be a little rude at times..even though I try not to be..but I just hope you don't take it personally." Alex sighed. This wasn't going well. "I mean, I should have known it was just a joke.." But, he apologized again. So..this was turning out to be silly. "Don't you think we should just forget about this and start over?" Alex looked at him, hoping he agreed with her.
"Yeah. Yeah, that definitely sounds good." Alex looked relieved as she answered his smile.

Finally they agreed on something, he was glad. Bradley gave Alex a smile and nodded his head "Sure Sure, I'd like for nothing less" He said being the perfect gentleman. It was after all a joke that had gone bad he'd be careful with his jokes in future He thought as he headed towards the Zoo once more.
"Anywhere you'd like to head to first?" As in somewhere in the Zoo, he asked peeking sideways at his companion for the afternoon. He really didn't mind himself just as long as they got to see everything. He smiled.

"Great." Alex was glad that everything turned out alright. Although, she couldn't believe how immature she really was. Before she could stop herself, she blurted out, "Look. I'm really sorry. Again." Ugh. Didn't she just say that they had to get over the debacle but here she was..apologizing for the million'th time.
"Not particularly..I really have no idea what's inside..but, why don't you guide me?" Alex asked, brightly. "Well..only if you would like to, of course." She finished, hurriedly. For all she know, he probably wouldn't even want to hang out with her.

She was saying sorry again? But didn't they just say? Ugh. He though but he said nothing to it, he gave her a small smile and carried on walking. The smell of the place got slightly worse as they got closer to it but it didn't bother him. He was used to it, Alex on the other hand....Bradley peeked down at her to see her reaction.
Um? Best place to start? "How about over there?" He asked pointing to a cage on the right that held an animal worth looking at. Before he waited for an answer he strode over to look through the cage that held the animal captive. He wasn't sure if Alex followed him or not.

Alex felt like a complete idiot so she just looked at her feet and kept quiet. Bleh. Maybe she should just stop talking to people altogether and save herself from embarrassment. She started walking into the zoo, trying to get a look at all the animals. Okay. The smell was getting to be terrible but she managed to keep any expression from entering her face.
Alex was about to answer him when he just kept walking on. She stared after him for a second, not sure whether she wanted to follow him or just walk away to the other side of the zoo. But..that would be immature. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, before she started to follow him.

Brad looked at the animal in front of him once more before turning to smile at Alex whom was just catching up to him. He knew he'd been rude to just walk away like that before letting her answer but it had felt really awkward to him. More awkward then the time he found out Emily had a boyfriend. Gah he hated that guy whoever he was.
"Take a look at this" He said smiling turning back to the animal before him.

Alex walked to the cage, still feeling annoyed with Brad. Why on earth was he making everything so awkward between them!? She noticed him smiling at her so she just smiled back..although it might have looked a little strained.
"Okay now..what's this?" Alex looked at the adorable animal in the cage before she turned to read the plaque in the front. "Oh, wow. It's a clabbert! A baby clabbert, in fact." Alex turned towards the cage again. Oh gosh. It looked so cute! "Don't you think it's lovely?"

Bradley watched the animal in the cage for a moment before turning to the plaque that was sitting next to it. He read what was on it. "It looks a little sad actually" He stated turning to watch the creature once more. "I bet he's a big softy" He added turning towards Alex and giving her a dazzling smile.
He knew the atmosphere around them was tainted and not quiet right but he didn't know what he should do about it. Yes he was angry a little but so was Alex. This was turning out to be a good afternoon was it?

Sad? Alex looked at the clabbert again. Hm. "Yeah, I guess it does. Maybe it wants to get out of the cage, eh?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. It looked really cute and she felt like cuddling it for a bit..but, she wasn't sure that would be allowed. Pity. Alex looked at him and grinned. "I agree." She noticed him smiling at her and she gave a small smile back.
Alex could still feel the awkwardness exist between them. Ugh. That was so not good. She looked at the clabbert for a second before she asked, "So, what do you do?"

"I doubt we're allowed to take it out of it's cage though" He said peering closer at the creature. To him it looked sad but still he doubt he could see the animal in another other setting. He bet the animal didn't either. "Shall we move on?" He asked then turning towards Alex and pointing in a random direction at another cage.
Work wise? He thought, "I work for Accidents and Catastrophes at the Ministry." He told her slowly walking away from the cage. "Yourself?" He asked.

"Yeah, I guess so.." Alex said, looking at the cute little clabbert. She would have loved to enter the cage and carry the adorable creature..but like he said, she wasn't sure if that would be allowed. "Well, okay. Sounds good." Alex said, with a smile before she dragged him along to the next cage. She was starting to get a little excited. This trip was actually getting to be fun. YAY!
Ministry, eh? Just like Damon. "That's great. Do you enjoy it? I mean, do you like working there?" Herself? "Well, I work at a muggle store.." Alex had to earn enough money to put herself through college..so yeah, she was happy working there. For now.

Morrigan looked up from the baby bunny belly she'd been busy giving a raspberry to with a good bit of confusion on her face. Was it confusion over some random lady being really conspicuous out of nowhere and asking her questions, or confusion that one of her department coworkers would walk right up and make little to no attempt at being sneaky? She was really hoping the carnie thought it was the former.
"Well sure, I've seen pretty much all of 'em. They're adorable!" She was getting bunny licky-kisses to her nose! Soooo cute. Though really, that probably meant her face moisturizer had a lot of salt in it, hmmm....

Bradley felt himself being dragged away from the cage towards another, he laughed. He tried to look above Alex to see where she was taking him but he couldn't see instead he obeyed and waited to see where she was taking him. It wasn't long till he stopped next to her and looked into the next cage. He saw nothing.
"Yeah, It's really good. I've made quiet a few friends," He told her turning to smile at her. The cage forgotten. "I wouldn't want to work anywhere else" He added. A muggle store? Interesting, he wanted to know more. "Tell me more about where you work" He asked

"Alright, I was just curious, sorry I asked", with that Jack walked off knowing that did not go well but atleast he had not fully blown his cover. He really felt out of luck now, how on Earth was he gonna crack this, he already felt many of the larger creatures were being treated poorly based on how small their cages were but that was not enough to make a good case. He knew something was sketchy around here, but he had no real proof of anything chargable. He then noticed one of the larger creatures start to go crazy in his cage. Most people would run but he was brave and handled things like this quite a few times. He quickly took some pictures as creature inflicted injury upon itself in a desperate attempt to get out of it's cage. He then left the area quickly. He had to Get to his head with this as soon as possible.

o_O There was no animal in the cage. Eeek. Alex turned towards Brad. "Hey, look. This cage is empty.." She looked at the cage again before she continued, "Has the animal escaped or something?" Gosh, that would be really scary. She looked nervously around her.
"Well, that's good." Alex said, with a laugh. "Damon works at the Ministry and he seems to really enjoy his job as well." Tell him more? "Well, it's a book store..which is actually weird because I don't read much.." She grinned. "But, I do enjoy work..it's not very exciting but I like it.." Alex gave a shrug.

Bradley turned towards the cage and frowned. I seemed a bit odd that it was empty but not unheard of, he shrugged and turned to Alex. "Maybe the animal's been taken out for feeding or something" He was setting his bets on the 'something'. Giving Alex a small smile he turned from the cage, "Maybe we should try another one?" He asked, he was enjoying himself more than he thought. That was good.
"Does he?" He asked not too sure who this Damon was, maybe her boyfriend or something. Like Emily was his girlfriend. Well he wished but still. Working in a bookstore when she didn't read much? "Well that's not unheard of" He said chuckling he was glad she enjoyed herself though. "At least you enjoy yourself though ey?"
