Sir Alfred's Traveling Emporium of the Strange and Unexplained

On the outskirts of town, you spot a tall black tent surrounded by several smaller violet and blue tents and wagons. A temporary fence composed of large sheets of black fabric hide the hustle and bustle of employees and patrons, but you can hear the sounds of thrilled wows and shrill shrieks. An elaborate wooden arch depicting a set of open gates reads "Sir Alfred's Traveling Emporium of the Strange and Unexplained." Passing under this ingress, you can see hooded figures with the logo of the circus on their backs, depicting a tabacco pipe with a wisp of smoke in violet on a black background. They seem to be rushing from tent to tent, guiding patrons or carrying suspiciously coffin sized boxes. You catch the scent of smoke and burning meat on the wind as you make your way into the closest tent. An attendants stands still as a statue in the corner with their hood pulled over their face. In the center of the tent are several cages containing household pets with additional limbs and similar deformities. An ill looking cat with four eyes and a tail sprouting from its back licks its double paw and stares over your right shoulder unnervingly. You hear the sounds of birds squawking behind a curtain the back of the tent. The attendant slowly raises their hand towards you, menacingly extending a finger in your direction. "Have you received your complementary Sir Alfred figurine?"
