Dirt brown
Name: Sebastian
Story: Sentient Carnival (The Dead Show AU)
Colors: Dirt Brown
Supplies and Styles: Saturation
Word Count: ~650
Warnings: None
Summary: Saturation for an AU of Sentient Carnival that I am working on. There are a lot of death themes as you might have guessed.
Notes It's Sentient Carnival without the Sentient Carnival but it does have the cast of the other carnival and I felt weird doing a new tag for it when that is the case. So yes. Ho hum, ho hum.
1. Autumn
Quinn sits in the bed of the truck, her eyes closed as she feels the autumn ride in, cool breeze ruffling her hair and the smell of th harvest already starting to rise up from the ground.
2. Barren
The fields aren’t dead, not exactly, but as they drive past, all of them know the those who work the land aren’t going to be pleased this season.
3. Brown
Quinn braids her hair, humming softly to herself as she twists and turns until she’s content with what she’s got.
4. Cave
Sometimes, when she looks at it right, the gates of the carnival look like the mouth of a cave, like something welcoming you into the dark.
5. Fertile
June watches the world from the trailer, the way it unfolds before her, fertile with promise and possibility if only she let herself reach out and grab it.
6. From the earth
Sometimes Ben still thinks he’s under the ground, shoved deep down in a pine box and just hoping someone might come save him.
7. Garden
When they drive past the graveyards, Quinn watches with wide eyes, the look of them hitting her brain like a garden for all those who’ve passed on.
8. Gnome
Whens she was young, Quinn always believed she had come from the ground, from gnomes or a special garden or something.
9. Landslide
The world shifts when they find Alex and Ben but it’s not until Morgan comes into their lives that everything starts to feel like it’s falling.
10. Melancholic
Sometimes June can’t help it, she lets herself fall into strange daydreams and she wonders if she’d be dead if she had stayed home.
11. Mother Earth
Before everyone gets out, before they unpack and settle in for the night, Sloane whispers a quiet thank you to the earth.
12. Mud
Morgan doesn’t eat as much as he should but when everything so often tastes like mud, it’s hard to get the motivation to.
13. Night
Night creeps over the world slowly, enveloping everything in it’s embrace and it’s only then that they really feel like the carnival comes alive.
14. North
They drive north because it’s what the map says, even though Quinn and Sloane both have an uneasy feeling about it.
15. Old Age
No one’s entirely sure how old Sloane is, though they’re dead certain it’s not as young as he seems.
16. Patience
Quinn has always been bad at patience but when June comes around and they start getting along, it gets even worse.
17. Pentacle
June isn’t a reader but the tarot still calls her attention all the same, her fingers itching to play with the cards every chance she has.
18. Plough
The fresh turned earth beneath their feet is hungry, all of them know it, and they’re smart enough to not stick around.
19. Rooted
Quinn knows she didn’t grow up like other people, knows she never planted roots and settled in the way she should have but honestly, she never wanted to.
20. Smell of the living earth
Quinn smells like earth and Ben smells like earth and Morgan smells like earth and all of this leaves Sloane more worried than it really should.
21. Stability
She wraps her arms around her father, holding tight, knowing in her heart of hearts that no matter what happens, she’ll have him to keep her safe.
22. Stone
Morgan keeps stones in his pockets and he says it’s to keep him grounded but Daniel can’t help but pictures rivers.
23. Strength
Ben tries to remember how to be the person he was before the ground, a strong, happy person who knows who he is and where he’s going but all of that feels like far away ghosts rather than anything he could ahve ever actually been.
24. Wisdom
All of them are smart enough to know that there’s wisdom in the earth, though that doesn’t always mean they want to hear it.
25. Worm
Quinn dreams of the ground, of worms and dirt and choking but every time, she finds her way out before they can overwhelm her.

This is the carnival that Quinn comes from. Her dad, Sloane, and the rest of them all kind of work or exist around the carnival and just happen to get caught up with the hungry one in the verse proper.
And thank you! I really loved the prompt set as a way to explore the death thing. So yes, I did the thing.
