A Mysterious Carnival...

It is Autumn, and the Midnight Carnival is here. The air has that cool, crisp bite to it. It is chilly, and there is the smell of something sweet— and wood smoke all around. By the pumpkin patch, by the corn maze, tents are seen:

A strange, small, effeminate man with odd, jerky motions makes a bow and hands out fliers: “Welcome, welcome! Come one, come all, to the amazing and magnificent Midnight Carnival...,”

Upon closer inspection, he seems to have actual wooden joints at junctures of his body which make slight clicking noises and account for the movement, as if he is, indeed, a puppet whose strings are not currently visible.
