It all began with a burst of color a neighborhood away, in the emptiest part of town. You had heard rumors circulating through the day, but it seems it was true. Dazzling explosions of color lit up the sky, leaving stars in their wake, each in a specific order. A few more explosions and you realize that the name of the circus is being written in the stars. 'Le Cirque De Reves.' The circus of dreams has arrived in the Nexus, and it's opening act has just finished.
Finding your way there you see Aincrad at the ticket booth handing out brochures and overwhelmed he just tosses a bunch of the brochures into the crowd and one finds its way to you. It's your own personal map and event list. Now you are ready to enter the Circus of Dreams.

(So since I want this to be as open as possible, these will be the events listed, and a lot are from the book, but I'll be adding a few of my own to the list or altering a few. It's a nice change of pace and has a place for everyone. Note that each event is in its own tent unless stated otherwise. I'll be adding more as time goes on, and if you're interested, will probably let people add to it until we have a full event list. Also I'm not going to be here the whole time so I'll let you choose where to go.)
Event List:
-The Tunnel: a twisting tunnel that marks the entrance to the circus and makes each viewer seem alone until they emerge at the bonfire plaza
-The Bonfire Plaza: an open air plaza that features a large burning bonfire in the middle and vendors selling all sorts of goodies on the side
-The Wishing Tree: a tree whose leaves are large wicks that can be written on and burn forever. One can take off the leaf, write their wish down, light it with a burning candle in a hollowed out section in the middle of the tree, then replace it so it can burn with the rest of the wishes.
-The Pool of Tears: A small pool with the names of the fallen written at the bottom and surrounded by small rocks. Throwing one in while thinking of a lost one will add their name into the pool. Currently no names are written in.
-The Ice Garden: A realistic garden made up completely of ice.
-The Pavilion Of Dreams: A tent with a bunch of jars lining the walls. Pick one up and smell it and memories come flooding back to you, mostly good, but depending on your history some triggers could bring bad memories.

Finally letting everyone he sits down on the ticket booth and sighs. "Well I knew this would happen but still. Damn." He walks over through the tunnel smiling. "Never get old." He grins and emerges at the Bonfire Plaza and pets the heads of two kid entertainers who are doing a cat show. "Keep it up you two, you're adorable." Entering one of the tents he sits down on the edge of The Pool of Tears and plays with the water. "I wanted the two to be here, but I guess not." He grabs one of the rocks, picks up a rock, and while thinking of Shiza, tosses it in the pool. A few seconds later his name appears on the bottom of the pool. "Sleep well buddy. I hope we can see you soon."
