THE FUN POLICE
[Haunted Carnival]
"This carousel ride is s-so fun! Usually I'd throw up by now! OwO"
"It sure is hon, I put all the best animals here! We got crocodiles-"
"-Big ole fancy birds-"
"-whales-"
"-Big ole jack rabbits like yourself-"
Circe hovers over a missing creature in the carousel.

".............?"
"Guess one of those goofs stole the last creature! Love them! Maybe we can pull a heist later and get it back!"
"That won't be a problem uh, with my body! OwO"

The doves in the room begin the chitter and coo.

"Act normal, the cops are coming!" As if on cue, Kratos enters paper in hand.
"Circe, we have an issue."
"I'm....I'm sorry you trusted me to not rob the bank but I couldn't help myself, they kept all the gold out in the open, I'm not even going to use it, I just wanted to steal it!!!!"
"................................................................................"
"Circe, that is not what I'm here for, calm down. We'll discuss that later."
"Oh PEEWH, what's the issue then eagle scout?"
"The rodeo zannis have ceased communications with HQ."
"Awww that all? Don't worry about it bird bud, I'm sure some more zannis will take up the job. Nothing is more fun than being able to subdue a peeved off god you know!"
"The issue is that it appears from my birds in the sky sources, that we're looking at a total containment failure of the Helper. A hole has already begun to grow in the town."
"TOTAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE AND WE HAVE NO RODEO ZANNIS TO GIVE US TIME TO CALM HER DOWN!?!?!?!"

"I believe it was a.......mind my words, a poor idea to contain a god here, though it was impressive how long this worked."
"Uhhh we just.....need to............."
"We uh.....need...........zzzzzttttt......"
"Send out Squad 578, Kratos!"
"The riot p-"
"The FUN Police!"
"I do not believe this is the best course of action."
"Nonsense, we just need to keep her distracted for a few days, I'll be able to make more rodeo zannis, and then we'll nab her right up and clam her down lickity split!"
"Just set this new law in! Law! Everyone must be having fun at all times! Mandatory!"
"While I disagree, we shall see the outcome of his event, and then review improvements to your decision making, and the pros and cons of this engagement."
"For sure hon! I'm sure this is for the best!"

Kratos bows and flutters off.

"Jeez, what are-are you even in jail for? You seem really nice....a lot nicer than uh, a lot of people I know. OwO"

The room is a stage, and Circe's horses dance around her, just as they were trained to. The show typically required two people to preform, but her co-member had....suffered an accident and would never be coming back.

The horses leap through a hoop.

Circe no longer set them aflame anymore. While it made the feat less visually impressive, it would only serve as a reminder of the accident.

When the show was over, everyone cheered the same as they've always done.

Except for one person-

-who didn't cheer at all.

And that was louder than a crowd of applause.

"........................................................................."
"Clown crimes."
"Clown crimes? OwO"
"Yeah!!!!! Clown crimes!!!!!!! Wooooo!!!!!"
"And you got sent to a prison forever for it? OwO"
"Cops, am I right???????"

There's a round of laughter, from an audience that doesn't exist.

In the Jail
Alarms ring, the lovely fake blue skies shut off, and the rides stop.

Kratos units, bigger than the ones before, emerge. This wasn't normal. The prisoners look on in fear as Kratos units armed in riot gear slink out.

"PRISONERS OUTSIDE OF THEIR CELLS AFTER HOURS."
"You think you scumbags have the right to walk freely after your crimes?"
The smart ones rush towards their cells, but at least one approaches, saying that they were allowed to be out, the other Kratos units were ok with this.

The first Kratos grabs them, lifting them off the ground.
"NEW LAW, TRASH HEAP."
"Fun is mandatory, and it doesn't look like you're having fun, now are you?"
The person strikes a weak smile and the kratos throws them to the floor.
"YOU BETTER GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT NEXT TIME!"
The second Kratos opens his wings, displaying his gas canisters hidden under them.
"Or we might need to use the laughing gas, and you wouldn't want that now would you?"

The swarm of Kratos units exit the prison, pecking prisoners on their way out to rush their movements.

A dark day was coming. A day of mandatory fun.

No one is typing.
