CASTOR
VALE
& THOMAS VALE
Eat. Drink. Sleep. Eat. Drink...
No. No, I haven't had enough to drink.
Thomas, give it back.
She's still there, please--
I can't bear to look at her like that.
That's not Mama.

Castor Vale hasn't been the same since his mother died. One slip, and she plummeted to the ground right in front of his eyes. He's missed her terribly. If there are any silver linings, she has what he refers to as an "echo".
It's an echo of the person his mother Celeste was, and he should treasure it.
He doesn't.
In fact, he'd sooner forget his mother and the way she sounded, and the gentleness of her love and care. It really ruined his expectations. Sank them, actually, like a ship with a hole in it. He didn't want to hope for anything. Love wasn't going to last. It didn't ever last. Just look at his parents.
And then you showed up.
He's not in love. No way. He's just interested.
He wants a Happy End. Lucky for Castor, that "Happy End" can mean more than one thing.
ADMIT ONE · HAPPY END
Do you want to grant that for him?

Twin host of The Observatory
AND YOU
New hire on concessions, games & rides
The Observatory is a refuge for the needy. The hungry. The ones down on their luck. It seems to find you when you need it most. It puts you in its path, so to speak.
Founded in 2002, The Observatory was once a crowd-pleaser: a circus of warm and terrifying wonders, bringing joy to the masses. For fourteen years, it ran like a well-oiled machine, its performers as close to family as anyone could be.
Until one night in 2016, Celeste Castelliano fell from her tightrope.
It was never the same after that.
The Ringmaster spiraled into a deep and consuming grief, becoming obsessed with rituals meant to bring his wife back. Rumors say that time stopped for him. It can't possibly be true, but inside the grounds, things seem frozen in time, nothing changed since that horrific night in 2016.
The coolest part about nothing changing? Is the Magic. Every time you come back to the circus, it feels like the first time all over again. For most, anyway.
But that's what they all say. I guess you'll have to come and experience it for yourself.
Clearwater Bay has always been a strange place. Split into 7 districts, each of them has a moniker to coincide with a Seven Deadly Sin. They all have some weirdness to them--Gluttony has diseases no one's ever heard of or seen, Pride is full of overly obsessed religious zealots and college kids, Envy has what you want--fame, fortune, and it all looks so easily accessible. Sloth doesn't want to let you leave, home of the Observatory Circus. Lust gives you anything you could ever ask for--and the district is in ruins because of it. Greed has your museums, your antiques, your haunted apartment complex with the souls of those that got stuck there. And lastly, but certainly not least, Wrath, home of your emergency services, the heroes. Or...are they, really?

That was never Mama.
This guy was meant to be last but I was like, you know what? He’s gonna be GREAT to push the plot. Castor is baby. He just needs a hug. And some water. And maybe a boat! I love him, but you’ll have to wait a little longer for Thomas. There’s a lot to him.
