Hiiiiii omg I love this AU of yours. I'm sure you're working on lore so take as much time as you need to answer but !!!! I have questions !!
Okay so that stopwatch/clock that Spamton has; are the hours they gain/lose related to Tenna's part in the prophecy? Like they're literally "buying time" to save him? Does Tenna know about the clock?
And then actual circus itself- Are the Dark Worlds in canon connected to the circus in one big universe? Or are they still separated meaning Darkners can't go between worlds?
Also with Ralsei you mentioned his powers waning due to people sleeping less. Are people spending more and more of their time at Tenna's circus? If so.. Are they doing it out of their own free will or is there something darker keeping them trapped? (Kinda like the Lotus Flowers in Percy Jackson)
I have questions about the wishes themselves, but that can go in a different ask!! Lmao sorry, I'm excited, this AU is right up my alley. Can't wait to know more!!!
P.s., I love Scene. They are such a cutie. The Tasque Manager's are one of my favorite characters
Yes! The time on the clock is directly related to Tenna’s part in the prophecy. Through preforming in the circus, Spamton is able to buy time in order to push back the end, giving Scene time to try and obtain another wish. At least that’s their current plan.
Deltawish doesn’t function the same as the dark fountains in Deltarune. There is only one world that everyone lives within. However, it’s quite large, so there’s multiple places and cities within it! There are no lighteners or darkeners, everyone exists in this world together.
Originally, the circus was just a means to entertain and travel. However, upon Tenna learning the effects of the wishes and what the end was leading to, he decided that using the concept of Whimsy was the safest way to protect people. But no, the people are not trapped within the circus, they are free to come and go as they please, but they really like to come back again and again, much to Tenna's pleasure.
Whimsy is a concept that was discovered by Tenna when he began to preform in front of an audience. Through fantastical visuals, grand stunts, and mesmerizing theatrics, he found that the feeling of Whimsy that filled people’s minds pushed away their dread. People would sing and dance and be merry and wouldn’t think about the impending doom that was slowly seeping into everyone’s hearts from an unknown source.
It wasn’t until recently that he discovered that Whimsy could be obtained through more dangerous means, that risky stunts and terrifying feats would also fill the audience with Whimsy, sometimes even more effective than previous methods.
A force of nature given form through lack of magical power. As the effects of Whimsy become stronger and stronger, people cannot sleep, their minds filled with dazzling colors and heart pounding daydreams, sleeping has become difficult for many and even impossible for some. Though a few of them don’t seem to mind, more time to spend at the circus anyway!
This has caused Ralsei to become weak, as he would feed on the energy of people’s sleep and dreams in order to use magic. His purpose was to keep the balance of the day and night cycle, ensuring that people were rested and sane.
