—Alex—

Alex Faire sat on the counter of a small food stall in the middle of the fair grounds. He traced his finger along the blade of his scythe and watched as the colors of the sun rise reflected off its surface. Today was the beginning of the first fair of 2013. The grounds would open at nine and the first freak show was at ten. Before that, Alex planned to relax and scare some innocent children with his scythe. A small smile came to his lips as a chilly wind blew his cloak around. The weather was good for a winter day in Georgia, but a bitter wind still came and went. Alex hopped down from the counter and started walking the grounds, his wings pressed firmly against his back and hidden under his cloak. At least for a few hours he could pretend to be normal. Then the show would begin.

Alaska was in her tent, that was awarded to her by Jorge, who promised she would be safe and loved, and always have a place to sleep. She was contorting her body, twisting it so she looked like a pretzel. She giggled and turned normal, before flipping around her large tent, and doing the splits and scorpion. She recalled that the only other freak she had met was Alex, which was only because Jorge had assigned her to be in his act. She was excited for her first day, her first show. She couldn't wait! She laid down, staring up at the colorful ceiling.

[Myst]

Esmeralda sat in her quarters, chanting in Romany among the wafts of incense. She put the finishing touches on the love charm and sat it in the pile with the others. Those were her most popular after all. Along with charms for vengenace and wealth. People were so selfish. And predictable.
The sun peeked through a small tear in her tent. It was time to show her face to the first arrivals, for them to giggle and whisper about her mysterious and slightly unnerving appaearance. But it was the mystery that kept them coming, the fear that intoxicated them, drugged them, drew them back for more.
Placing her tarot cards in the pouch at her waist and reaching for her crystal ball, Esme glanced at herself in the mirror above her dressing table. She had come so far hadn't she? Seen so much in her young life. Was this to be her life from now on? Until the day she died?
She felt the weight of the anklet she had put on when she had signed on with Jorge Faire.
Yes. The answers to both questions... was yes...
Putting on her necklace, which had a picture of Giovanni her only true love inside, Esme took her crystal ball in one hand and exited the tent to take her place.
Time for the show to begin once again...

Nicole walked out of her tent in her black butterfly dress as she watched the sun rise. Taking a deep breath a smirk spread across her face as she thought about about performing tonight. She had been doing this for years now thanks to her alter ego that eventually gave her the stage name pixie, sure being bi polar was starting to be a common thing in the world but Nicole tended to take it to the next level of it being normal. Closing her eyes for a moment she walked through the grounds as ignored the device that would not allow her to leave, truthfully she didn't have a reason to leave because she had never felt more at home around the others. After a few moments she stopped walking at looked up to the sky again as so many thoughts ran through her mind before she snapped into her personality of Pixie out of nowhere and without any trigger. "Let the brats come and play, but leave them behind for even a second and they might be gone." She mumbled to herself not really making any sence but more or less just sounding slightly sadistic.

Tina had gotten some cotton candy form the vender, her act wasn't om for a while and she decided to have some fun before then, this was her second year here and she had gotten used to things, she didn't understand why she had to wear the thing she did on her ankle but she didn't really care, she took another large bite and swallowed. She sat atop the counter where you would purchase your entrance tickets, she was happily swinging her legs back and forth, staying out of the way when people came to buy their tickets, she thought she may play a prank today, pretending to be someones lost child was always a good one, she smiled to herself and hooped down, she decided she would visit some of the other acts before hers, it was coming close

[LookatMe]

Dallas was sat in his tent, he had ages until his act so he just needed to relax for a bit maybe got out an explore the grounds? He couldn't decide exactly what he wanted to do yet, so he got dressed in something casual to go out atleast in, he never wore his costume or got ready hours before his act as he thought it was bad luck and he didn't want to spoil it for the customers wondering around the grounds waiting for the show to start. Dragging himself out of his tent once dressed he looked around the grounds, moving over to a food van that placed rather close to where the circus was held. He pushed himself up onto the stool ordering one of the biggest burgers that could be served from the van. (Outfit)

Light. Sun. Day, those were the thoughts that were filtered through Allen's mind as he was awoken from his slumber by the first rays of the sun's light coming into his tent. Jumping off his bed, the young magician set upon putting some street clothes on. Shirt, undergarments, pants, socks, he always put his clothes on in that sequence, if anyone cared to observe. Allen noted that the anklet made it rather difficult to put his socks on, but that wasn't new news to him at all.

Stepping outside of his tent, Allen took a breath of the local air before heading off to get some sort of nourishment from one of the various vendors. Passing by the tents of his compatriots, Allen stopped whistling when realized there was an addition to the usual number. He shrugged, before restarting his whistling and heading off to get some food for breakfast.

After retrieving a jumbo-sized hotdog and a box of popcorn, Allen set off to wander about the circus's general area.

[nonsequitur]

Ariadne munched on her hot dog as she wandered around the fair. She'd had the dream again, of Jorge setting the lion in front of her to "test" her skill with animals, but she couldn't calm it. No matter how fast she ran or how hard she tried, it remained angry and it always caught up to her. She always woke up just as it sank its teeth into her neck.

In the dream she felt afraid, but it seemed silly in real life. The lion couldn't hurt her after all. It wasn't even real. Besides, she was in the circus and away from her family, which was what she'd always wanted. And Jorge had made it all possible, only requiring her to wear the anklet. She should be grateful.

There was still some time left before she had to go into the snake pit, so she decided to plan out what she would do with the snakes. Their minds were fairly simple; it felt more like she was controlling them rather than really communicating with them. Perhaps she would let them climb up to her neck today. Her control over them now was good enough that they never got scared or tried to bite.

Tina was still walking around the grounds, she had an easy to amuse personality but she had trouble decided on what to do, who should she go see first? maybe the new girl, it would be nice to make a a new friend, she stopped in her tracks and placed her head in her hand, "which tent is hers again?" she asked out loud to no one in particular, she decided she would just take a lucky guess and try the nearest one, she skipped on over, smile over her face, she had no idea what she planned on saying but then again, she never did, she pushed open the entrance to the tent and smiled widely, "lucky me!" she had successfully found the new persons tent, "Hey!" she waved and jumped up and down on spot

[FireBubblez]

Alaska flinched and sat up, looking around. She saw the little girl bouncing at the entrance to her tent. She chuckled, but said nothing. Climbing to her feet, she gave a wave to the girl she was only a couple inches taller than. She flipped over the girl and skipped away.
