Prologue
The Carnival's Gate
A group of lucky participants suddenly awoke to the distant sounds of joyful screams as each of them walked over to the strange colorful tent that glowed with beautiful colors. Children’s laughter rang against each of their ears as they approached. They would hear a distant faint voice that wasn't recognizable, “Come, let me show you a new paradise.” There would be no one close by them that seemed to talk; however, a young male who stood five inches above five feet was in front of them. A sinister smile greeted them.
“Hello ladies and gentlemen! I see you all are lost. Alas, you are not! You’ll be staying in this carnival of mine… What? You want to leave? Why so soon?! The night is young, and you will all be stuck with me for awhile unless something unfortunate happens to you! Welcome to the Devil’s Carnival!”
The male would make each participant stand side by side in a line in front of him. Lifting an appendage in the air, he would then bring it downward towards his side, taking a bow.
“They call me Monsieur Loyal. I am the ringmaster of this carnival – so, you must obey me. Now, I must explain how things work out in here… See, there’s a reason why this carnival is called the Devil’s Carnival…”
The male that calls himself Monsieur Loyal stood up, smiling at them. It seemed he was having an awfully fun time talking to these strangers.
“We simply have 666 rules~! If you do indeed break any of them, there will be consequences… bloody consequences…”
“Alright then, place your attention towards me again! If you did not bother reading the rules I will simply tell you one of them: no cutting in line! Please form a line right now as you all will get one free ticket. This ticket will include your free admission into the carnival.”
Every participant formed a straight line, and someone impatient decides to cut in front of you. Before you could open your mouth to say something to the stranger, Monsieur Loyal spoke, pulling the stranger by the collar of their shirt out of the line.
“How dare you break rule 62 – I just told you a few moments ago about it! You don’t deserve to even enter the carnival… Why, you deserve something more gruesome! C’mon! Let’s go. I know exactly what to do with you!”
Monsieur Loyal yelled out into the entrance of the carnival, dragging the stranger along with him, “Cordis!” A man who appeared to be taller than Monseiur Loyal approached them as his arms crossed against his chest. He didn’t seem happy when he was handed the stranger,
“You called?”
“Please take care of this scoundrel!”
“Fine, but I request for a raise on my salary. You know I don’t deal with these kinds of issues unless it involves experimenting one of them.”
“That’s exactly why I am allowing you to handle this! You may do what you want with them.”
“You will give me that raise, right? I need more scalpels in my work area, especially the rusty ones.”
“Yes, of course… Leave now before I change my mind!”
Cordis leaves with the stranger, smirking once as he noticed you staring at him.
“Alright, calm down folks! It’s not like that won’t be the last time you’ll see that person again. We find many useful individuals for our carnival.”
Suddenly, a ticket booth appears beside the line in front. A hand crept out of the caged window, handing each and every one of the participants a ticket. Monsieur Loyal took the first ticket, showing the people in the back what they were receiving.
“This is very important! If you have not heard me until now I would recommend you to acknowledge at least these tickets. This is the one free ticket that I was talking about earlier. You’ll receive tickets by participating in actives, games, and running errands! What do you use them for? Well, you all may be able to receive a reward! Is there a catch towards these tickets, you ask? Let me put it this way… There is a catch. If any of us see that you don’t have a ticket with you then that alone breaks another rule… You may be punished severely!
So, if everything is crystal clear, I will allow you all to meet and get to know each other. Once you all gather around the entrance where the ticket booth is, I shall retrieve you mutts and continue showing you everything.
Good luck! You all will need it…”

Participants! You all have a whole day to post prologues! Please keep them as brief as possible because I will be posting in a bit.
