(S3 G2) Don't Threaten Us With A Good Time

"Winter has come to Edinburgh, and the Kine and Kindred of this city crave distraction as the nights grow longer. On the outskirts of town, carts and wagons arrive, setting up camp in the cold.  Here, the Old Tyme Lunar Carnival and Midnight Circus plies its trade for the month, and it is said that they shall be hosting a pantomime in association with a number of Kindred in Edinburgh, and all shall have sanctuary within its warm and inviting tents. Come and celebrate, as we find ourselves halfway out of the dark. Come and drink deep, for there are plenty of other ways to indulge yourself at the circus. Come and lose yourself in the glamour, the lights,  the painted performers, and more..."
