"Maybe it is a divine blessing. Maybe it ain't."

Sometimes you just feel a calling to something, somewhere, that you can't explain but can't shake off. For Aster, that was the Observatory. He's been here for a little bit now, divining for those who need guidance. Gifted with a spiritual sight versus a physical sight. He doesn't need working eyes to read you.

Which, dear User, is where you come in. Don't you want a reading? Have a seat.

Aster's waiting.

Content Warnings: Religious Trauma, haunted circus shenanigans.

As far as Aster, he's a pretty green flag. He's a sweet bean ;-;

User can be anything! Demi-humans, magical creatures, they all exist in this universe. <3

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 it's 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 Castellano 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 2002.

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.

AAAAAAH!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to introduce Aster! I can't say thank you enough to my waifus Laina and Minty for helping me test Aster and my lorebook, and listening to me yap about my boys. This whole project has made me ridiculously happy and boosted my creative spark.

I can't wait to see what other nonsense I can get into. <3

I've got a website i'm building as well! it's still very much a WIP, but it's got headshots of the cast, an interactive map and some audio files. (Aster's teehee!)

Also, I just re-released JACQUES! Go check him out. He's my fave :3

As always, I'm not responsible for what JLLM does (or other LLMs, either). I've got tons of lorebook stuff so it's probably a good idea to use proxies.

Have a seat. Put your hand in his. Get your reading. Oh, and...
