OPEN RP - CIRCUS "Secrets in the Dark."
Open to anyone, even if we've never interacted before.
The circus. The flashing lights and dancing horses blearing your vision into something between a daydream and a nightmare. The food and the people found only in this strange occurrence. Somehow you knew they lived in your town, but they never looked so happy. The magic of something that appeared overnight and disapeared just as fast, leaving so little trace you wonder if it had all be a dream.
The circus. Eight hours to set everything up, let the animals out without waking the town folk. Four to sleep, if you had the time. The rest of the day was spent practicing and double checking safety nets. Safety nets that could never appear to be that. They were nothing more than decoration in the audiances eyes. The animals had to be fed, the hay strewn across the main ring to create that 'rustic' fire hazard that the crowds loved so much.
Fourty minutes until curtains up. Mistress Katie Firestone is smoking again, the white of the smoke curling from her cigarette contrasts with the dark reds and golds of her costume. She oughtn't smoke. The animals don't like it.
Fourty minutes until curtains up. Idegen was feeding his snakes rats. With luck they'd be sluggish and he could claim they were ill. Idegen did not feel like standing in front of a crowd and making a show of those that belonged to him.
Fourty minutes until curtains up. Tiki was applying another layer of make up. They wondered what would happen if they sweated it off under the tortches and over the flaming ring. They didn't want to know and the oilly goop didn't usually run anyway.
