#props papyrus

Welcome to Carningtale.

Where the Sans (named Booker) and the papyrus (named props) run a cursed traveling carnival. That cannot settle down into one spot for very long because the longer they stay in one spot the more various curses will befall them, and the people they have hired to run their carnival.

Where the other AU eventually do find them and probably do not help (cannot help) them break their curse, but end up working for them in their free time because they do enjoy the bit of showmanship. 

Booker has the body shape of normal Sans, but he has one blue eye and one red eye and consistently always wears striped shirts and suspenders with a little carney hat on his head. While his brother is about as tall as sweets is so he’s taller than a normal papyrus, but he has one green eye and one orange eye, and he wears the same type of outfit as his brother, but on top of his shirt, he always wears a coat with long coattails that twist up into points with little bells on the ends, giving it a whimsical and jester look. Along with, And instead of just a normal carney hat, he wears something of a top hat, but it’s mixed with a carney hat, so it’s like a straw top hat but not as tall.

Booker‘s personality tends more towards mischievous in nature, more similar to that of a ringmaster who more than enjoys his shows. He may help you he may hinder you. He has a very thick country-ISH Brooklyn-Ish accent and is very very good at persuasion. Because he often persuade people into signing contracts to work with him, but the contracts are never extremely clear and the determination of how long you may end up working for that carnival varies as he interpret it. His magic tends to manifest in the blue and red of his eyes, with something similar to voodoo markings floating around him, depending on the type of contract he is making with you. Usually they are old Wingdings. But none can be sure.

Props is a little over 11 feet tall. He is the main hand in the entertainment. He is not innocent though he wears the face well. He has absolutely no issues with how him and his brother run their carnival and we often use that sweet face and somewhat dulcet, innocent tone, to coax various people into joining their little soirée and carnival for the unforeseeable future. He has the tendency to punish only based on very terrible thing as the workers have done. So overall, he is incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind towards anybody that they hire. Because even though they do trick a few people, they’re not going to be completely heartless with their makeshift little family. But that kindness will not expand to include customers and visitors. In their carnival, the customer is not always right.

Now once the other AU do eventually make their way into my own little place here. They do pick up little jobs that they find enjoyable that set the tone right for their own personalities. And although Booker and props cannot convince them to make formal contractual obligations to come and perform, they do allow it because they like the chaos and they like the profits of them joining as they please. So they have backup plans and make many different accommodations. It frequently Depends on who shows up at the time. But they also have things set aside just for when those other versions of themselves show up.

My own little insert, Murber, tends to show up as a ring leader from time to time and introduce some of the more wild acts.

From there, we have nightmare as the freak show master who does try to steal the main show fairly often.

We have killer who is the clown. But all of his balloon animals and face painting skills tend towards trying to terrify the children that he is working with and it only works a partial percent of the time because he just has way too much fun with what he’s doing.

Dust and coffee work, the pyrotechnics and the lights show. Often summoning their blasters and using them in different acrobatic acts while maintaining beautiful light sequences

Horror and his brother suites work the death defying cannonball acts, which is where he got the crack in his head and how his brother’s teeth get more messed up (in this case how their injuries may get a little worse since they come from their own au) m

From there we have sans as just the head, carney in charge of the different rigged games in the gaming alley. Wearing the traditional carney outfit and enjoying the pun potential of occasional fire breathing.

We have read who works the different food stands and is just the hottest food Kearny that you’ve seen with his striped shirt tied around his waist wearing a black tank top and his striped Kearny pants and probably smoking a cigarette behind the food truck

Edge and papyrus both work the acrobatics. Performing death-defying stunts, tight rope, walking and different thrilling swinging acts. While keeping their bodies um during their performances so they can wear tight spandex and show off just muscle they probably really are.

We have blue as the jester. Who works with the different clowns in the carnival to make you smile, laugh, and perform the most basic and normal clown performances while somehow making them even more than they used to be. Like jumping out of a flaming building into the trampoline, but going through it to be covered in pie just so that he can sweep in at the last moment and sweep their daring little volunteer off their feet.

We have stretch who sometimes works with the lion tamer, but mostly works with mud to make bootleg merch of the carnival itself and sell it for a profit on the side. And even though Booker and props are aware of that, they don’t really mind so long as they get a cut of the money.

I’ll probably add on more to this later and I do have a couple smaller art pieces that I have done to add some ideas towards this little AU of mine, but I do intend to fully keep it as my own and make plenty of things to add onto it to show all of you my idea in this

So once again. Welcome to Carningtale.
