the tides r getting cooler….

[mermaidkincore]

[thestupidmeanone]

Church was really just... not a fan of circuses in general, but what he had heard about this one really took the cake. There was exploitation, and then there just cruelty.

Well, if what he'd researched about the so-called 'mermaid' was actually true, anyway. There was only one way to find out, but he had no intention of being a part of the audience. He was going to find out the truth... and then go from there.

No one ever said he was great at planning ahead.

Even when passerby bumped into him, Church kept his cool beyond an annoyed glower, standing off to the side and out of the way while he watched the tent in question. Taking a break, huh? Perfect timing...

This place didn't exactly seem big on security--maybe they were just complacent--but he wasn't about to complain. Once the employee closed up the tent, he made his way around to the back, surreptitiously poking around to see if there was an easy way in. If not... well, fuck it, this was a tent, he had no issue with pulling up the bottom of it and scuttling inside to look around.

[sinren]

Inside the tent in question, was a whole mini museum of "artifacts" and treasures. Everything from fake skeletons and teeth from supposed cryptids or monsters to taxidermied animals that looked deformed. And even old items that were branded as things left behind from fae. Fake? Probably. However, on the far end of the tent, there were displays set up leading up to what looked to be a large fish tank. The tank spanned the length of maybe two grown men. No filtration, not even decoration or plant life. In fact, there wasn't anything in the tank, except for one very large being, with their tail currently chained to the bottom of the enclosure to keep them seated.

"Shelly", as the plaque in front of the tank read... Though that most likely wasn't her name. It did say she was about nine feet long, however. And that much seemed to be true with how cramped she appeared inside.

Though she seemed to have her body turned away from view, arms folded over her chest while she rested her upper half against the glass. It was clear upon closer inspection that they had some kind of contraption strapped to her head. Something that looked right out of medieval times, and if siren history were to be correct here... It was likely to keep her mouth shut.

Dark black hair swayed with every slight movement or breath. And the creature was quiet and still. Looking to be asleep.

PIERROT QUIETLY SCANS the crowd of people, moving from one attraction to the next. He wasn't wearing his usual costume, having opted for something simple that'd let him blend in and covered most of his monstrous traits. Other than his tall frame, people barely acknowledged him, which was what he wanted. The less attention, the better. He had been sent out by Jester to scope the place out, to check and make sure there weren't any monsters being held captive before he'd torch the place down. So far, he hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary; most of the attractions were rather lackluster, but still managed to entice people to come take a look. It isn't til he nears a tank and peers in the murky water that he stops, his eyes widening behind his sunglasses.

SURE ENOUGH HE was looking at another monster. That alone made him angry. Pierrot wanted to break the glass then and there, but... He knew better. He needed to tell Jester first before proceeding. Taking out his phone, he snaps a picture of the creature and sends it off to Jester, who responds almost instantaneously.

TXT : // 𝙶𝚎𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗. 𝙸'𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚊𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝.

AS THE CROWD began to thin out some, Pierrot drew closer to the glass and gave it a few light taps. Once he had the other monster's attention, he carefully pulled up his glasses and showed them his eyes; yellow irises with black sclera. Clearly, he wasn't human and was trying to tell them as such. As he lowers his glasses back into place, he gestures for them to back up or back up as much as they can so he'll have some room for what he's about to do. Pierrot might not look like it, but he was a rather strong monster. Not caring if any of the nearby humans got caught up in this or hit by flying debris, he winds his arm back and then swings it forward, punching his fist against the glass. The glass cracks almost immediately, water gushing from a few of the bigger cracks he had made. He takes another swing and this time manages to shatter the glass entirely. Pierrot takes a few steps back as water floods the area around him, knocking a few people off their feet. He doesn't pay them any mind as he nears the hole he made and climbs inside.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT... WHAT'S next? Pierrot spies a few links of chain keeping the monster trapped inside the tank. He grabs one and pulls, snapping the chain with little to no effort. He moves to the next one and does the same, trying to move as quickly as possible. Jester might not approve of the way he's handling this, but it was better than allowing this monster to stay and continue to be held captive. Once he's done with the chains, he turns to the monster and offers his hand. "Please, I'm here to help you. Don't be scared... We'll explain more once we get you out of here."

[sinren]

After what felt like some time, Haven could tell by the way the noises and flashing lights lessened, that most of the crowd had now started dispersing to some of the other attractions nearby. And for that, she was grateful.

She was just beginning to let herself relax again, maybe catch a few z's before another wave of chaotic guests would come piling into the tent. However, when yet another series of taps are given to her glass. Her fins twitch in agitation. And truly, she would've continued giving whoever it was the cold shoulder, had the knocking not been so... Incessant.

Suddenly whipping around where she sat, she flared her fins at the stranger threateningly. Her dark hair pooling and framing the metal contraption strapped to her head as she bore into them with her eyes.

She was just about to give a hiss, maybe even knock her own hand against the glass. But then the stranger does something that makes her stop completely. He lowers his glasses, and what meets her gaze, are eyes that look... Almost eerily similar to her own.

No human had eyes like her.... Which of course, piqued her interest enough to drop the hostility for now as she examined him closely up and down.

God, what she wouldn't give to be able to speak... Not like her English was very good, but her tongue burned with questions.

But-- No time for that, it seemed.. Because as soon as he's grabbed her attention, he's already started to back up again. And it takes him actually rearing back and SLAMMING his fists into the tank's glass before she's catching on to the gestures he had been making prior.

Confusion and fear show in her eyes as she startles and practically cringes back. The impact ringing in her ears.

Again, he hits the glass, and again- And Haven is frantically grabbing at her chain and anything else she can think to reach as the glass eventually shatters and breaks from his strength. Water gushing out into the floor, knocking a few people over, and trying to pull her right along with it.

Once this was done, and the water was completely drained from her enclosure. She tries to pry back wet strands of hair from her vision as she looked around with wild eyes, then to the stranger from before as he actually climbed into the box with her and started snapping apart her chains. Something even she had struggled with.

When he turns to her and speaks low, then offers his hand. She's almost too stunned to move. She didn't know who this was, or why he was rescuing her. (If he even WAS rescuing. She couldn't be sure anymore.)

But... Now that the glass was gone, and the water too.. She smelled something. Something funny-- She'd never smelled that before... It wasn't human, but it wasn't anything like her either. It was something new. And it was coming from him.

While she still wasn't sure what he was planning, the sounds of people yelling and shouting from the next tent over seemed to be just the right motivation for her to suddenly throw herself at him. Arms wrapped tightly around his neck as she peered back over his shoulder fearfully.

If she could speak, there was no doubt she'd be telling him to hoist her up and RUN.

"That one dad! Hurry let's go before the show ends!" A father and son pass by in a rush, but not without bumping into Church on their way towards one of many colorful tents set up nearby.

The smell of funnel cake and popcorn filled the air on this particular afternoon. The circus was indeed alive and bustling with crowds of people.

It wasn't often things like this came through smaller towns like this, so people were definitely taking advantage of the spectacle.

Rickety rides, acrobat shows, clowns making animal balloons... It all was pretty typical for the most part. In fact, the only thing that really stood out at all about this particular circus, was something called "The Oddities" tent... Apparently there were items, as well as actual living creatures there. That only could be described as myth and legend.

Now, how real most of these oddities were... Well. That was up for debate. However...

"Sorry kid, the mermaid's taking a break. Come back at five and we'll have her out again, as well as our very own marine expert to answer any questions you have. Alright?" One of the workers nearby seemed to be talking to a couple of little girls who were trying to get into one of the tents. But when they're turned away, they hurry off to a different attraction. And the employee in question flips a sign as he closes the curtains tight. 'Back in an hour.'

"Come one, come all! Step inside and see with your own eyes, a creature straight from myth and legend!"

A man's voice seemed to carry over the bustling noises and excited chatter not uncommon to find among circus grounds like this one... Though, some days Haven really wished she didn't have to hear any of it.

Why was it always so loud...? Why was it so.. Bright??

Speaking of bright-- A camera flash blaring through her tank catches her off-guard enough to startle her. Pupils shrinking as she quickly tries to turn her face away from the dozens of eyes boring into her on the other side of the glass.

The tank they had her in was just big enough to span the length of two human adults.. Which, technically was about the size of her, tail and all.. But swimming around or even getting a good stretch in was a no-go. Of course, the cramped space wasn't the worst part about it all.. No, in Haven's opinion, the chains, and the stupid metal contraption they kept strapped on her head. Now THAT was torture..

She couldn't remember what the humans called it, but she's pretty sure it was meant to keep her mouth shut, so she couldn't speak.. Clever. Considering that would've been her one way out of this place had she been able to use it.

Her tail tries to thrash for a moment to show her frustration and annoyance with the constant camera flashes and people chattering and knocking on her tank. But the chain attached to the end of it keeps her from fully doing so.

She tries to keep her body turned away from the crowd. Arms folded over her chest as she sat at the bottom of the tank. Her fins flaring and flicking on either side of her head with a serious of annoyed clicks and growls.

Maybe it was getting close to her break time... If she could stick it out for another ten minutes, maybe she could have some quiet down time at the very least.

It wasn't much, but she's come to take what she can get as it comes...
