Show your invite to security at the door and get ready to leave New York behind.
Enter through the curtained doorway and step into a world of wonder. You’re transported into what feels like a giant circus tent, with fabric draped across the ceiling turning the harsh shapes of the warehouse into soft curves. The entry allows you to step right into the fun in Carni-lane or by pass it on to the center of the room.
Find your fun here in Carni-lane with ring toss games. Toss the hoop at twenty bottles, if it lands on the golden bottle in the middle you’ll receive the clue (on a card, important do not lose this card) on how to find the secret lounge. Any others get a piece of candy. Better luck next time! (clue found in the secret lounge section below)
Speaking of candy, take a moment to watch the candy man himself work some magic as he spins sugar into bunches of clouds for you to munch on. Sugar rush anyone?
It’s a new year and perhaps you have a lot of questions on what is to come. Sit down in Madame Belladonna’s tent, offer her your hand or let her read your cards. Perhaps you are doomed for a troubling year, or maybe you’re about to run in someone tall dark and mysterious.
The center of the warehouse has been transformed to look like a circle ring where the lion tamers would do their thing and trapeze artists would take the audiences breath away.
Fill the space, let the music take your worries away. On stage dancers and performers will entertain through the night. Fire breathers, burlesque dangers, acrobats, all the wonders of you can imagine.
The main lounge is filled with booths and lounges for everyone to gather around. Though there are some seats spotted around the venue this is the spot to mingle with the crowd, take a moment to cool off from dancing, or do a round of shots with your nearest and dearest. Or make some new friends, if you’re feeling adventurous! Who knows what could happen in this world of wonders?
Food will be coming from behind the bar with servers dressed in carnival clothing, or perhaps even on stilts, carrying trays to pass out freshly made pizzas for all to consume. Don’t forget to pick up some of Shiloh’s cookies, shaped like circus animals and tents, or stick around for a slice of cake.
The bar is open for all. If you thought you’d have to pay you clearly don’t know your host. Wet your lips with one of the sweet signature cocktails Alexa has personally picked out herself. We’ve got rainbow shots for those of you who want to get drunk quick and in style with notes of cherry, blackberry and green apple, we’ve got midori martinis with a splash of lime and a cherry, a classic with a twist just like our girl Alexa. And what’s a carnival without a little cotton candy? Just ask for the Fairy Floss and you’ll have a sweet treat with vodka, champagne, and cranberry juice. Not your style? Don’t worry, there’s spirits lining the walls with plenty of bartenders to pour them out. Not into booze? Try a mocktail or a simple soda, no one will go thirsty tonight.
The best thing about parties these days is a good photo booth, especially if you’re a little tipsy and those photos get a little bit silly.
Step inside the main photo booth set up to look like the back of a circus tent with a bunch of props to use. A giant elephant statue, big balloons, wigs and hats, clown noses are just a few things laying around. Great for group photos.
Or go without props and take something cute and intimate in a smaller booth with a simple white backdrop. Better yet, do both and take home the photos as mementos for the night!
But remember, any photo you take gets saved for Alexa to see later, so though they seem intimate they aren’t as private as you think.
Whilst you wait for the line to the booth grab a cup of popcorn, just make sure you don’t have any in your teeth when you go to smile! Double bonus it acts as a prop too.
There are two types of mirrors in this zone.
The first step through a door into a room filled with mirrors on every side. Close the door behind you and you’ll find yourself reflected back an infinite amount of times. A great place to take photos with friends, and you should certainly revisit it once there’s a few drinks in you.
The second type of mirrors are your classic silly mirrors. Along a wall you’ll find a bunch of them - each one doing something strange to your reflection. Stretch, shrink, widen, thin, swirl; see yourself n ways you never have before.
Only those who get the clue at the ring toss will be able to enter this room with a plus one. The clue they received reads:
“Find the thing that makes you small and push right past it”
Push through the mirror which makes you look short and a secret room will open up in front of you. You’ll have to hand over your card as you enter - if you leave you will not be allowed back in.
As you close the ‘door’ behind you you’ll find the mirror was two-way which certainly brings a few giggles when someone’s pulling a face or odd pose at their reflection.
In the lounge you’ll find the lights dimmer with a set of booths for individuals to find themselves a little privacy. A smaller bar is found in the corner but in here you’ll find no food, so if you get hungry you’ll have to go back out into the crowd.
(We ask that this isn’t roleplayed by everyone in every thread they do, it’s suppose to be more exclusive/harder to get into. If everyone is entering 5 different threads it makes it come off easy to get into. You can always use the main lounge for the threads you could do in the secret one, it’s just not as private. Alexa can bring anyone in here at any time, she’s the only one who can enter without a card).
Smoke zone is the only area you can smoke, sorry but we don’t want the curtains catching fire now do we! The bartenders are already pushing it with a few flaming shots.
Ferris wheel. Yep, you heard right, there’s a god damn ferris wheel outside. It’s freezing right? Don’t worry, Alexa has you covered. This ferris wheels carriages are all shaped like hot air balloons, meaning there’s a roof over your head to cover anything that may fall from the sky, and glass around to stop the wind from freezing you up high. Each carriage fits 2 people, unless you someone like Nick who honestly shouldn’t even try fitting in there. Tall enough to see over the buildings around you and out to the New York skyline, but to be fare you’re surrounded by mainly one story warehouses.
You can not exit the venue this way. It is a closed off space. You can only exit through the main entrance.
As mentioned there will be pizza at the venue. Shiloh is catering the treats at the party including cookies and cake. There’s a cotton candy stand and a popcorn one.
The bars are where you find your drinks, alcoholic or not.
Toilets are all together, no separation between ladies and gents. The room has several stalls for individuals but it’s the sinks where the room shines. The mirrors are lit up with neon strips and the sinks are automatic just wave your hand under it. Oh, and they’ll be cleaned throughout the night. You puke? Let someone know, jesus, what are you, an animal?
