I just need this in my life okay. Gimme the cliches and the fluff.
Idk, somebody runs away to join the Circus. They meet someone who grew up in the circus and fall in love.
I kinda want this to have a bit of a fantasy old time setting so settle magic and or otherworldly looking creatures are welcome. ^^
Templet will be posted if someones interested. Or! We can say screw it and just be descriptive.
(Bump)
Oooo this looks pretty cool!
Intrested? ^^
I sure am! :))
Then Heck to the frigen' yeah get on in here! ^^
Which character would you like?
I can be either. I actually have a character that grew up in the circus then she left, but for this she could have never left, if you want me to be that character.
Sure. ^^ also I'd prefer this to be m×f if you don't mind.
So I guess I'll have the charter thats joining, and the male.
Would you like to start or would you like me to?
Probably you. Also templates or no?
Heck I forgot templets where a thing-
Uh, I'm not the fondest of them. But if you want a Templet then I can go grab one.
We don't need one just asking ^^
(Alrighty! I'll just go ahead and post the starter now.)
(okie!!)
The circus. The big top. Whatever you wanted to call it. It was magical, and Tarek new why. It was a sanctuary for people who looked like him. For the ones that had what was left of the magic in this world.
He took a step forward, the bright lights calling to him.
In the center, Evangeline was on the flying trapeze, the finale of her performance coming up. Her first time performing it live, she was beyond nervous even though she really shouldn't be. Standing at the top platform, she jumped, holding onto the bar. As practiced, she flipped once in a straddle the second tucked. Conjuring a short rope from the bracelet on her wrist, she threw it up to the catcher and swung with him, doing tricks in the process. By the end, her heart was racing and her breath was fast, but she was overjoyed. Eva let go of the rope, falling onto the net below her while spinning and flipping in the process.
"Wow." Tarek breathed. He stood in the flap of the tent, and clapped along with everyone else. His stark white eyes wide in amazement. He wondered if these people knew of the magic the performers used. If so what would they say?
After she got off of the net, she stood feet together and her hands up in the air and bowed, running off stage with a huge smile just a second later. That had been the very end of their show that night. Another was planned for the next night with some different acts, of course, all involving magic.
Not to long after the crowd cleared out, Tarek found himself still there. He already built up the courage to run- now he just needed the courage to meet the performers, and ask- beg if needed- them to let him join.
Evangeline stood backstage, adrenaline still coursing through her veins. She joined everyone else who was cheering for the success of the first show of this season. After that calmed down, they all had to go clean up for the night. She was one of the first people out, noticing a figure still standing in the door she went to investigate. "Hello? May I help you?"
Tarek pulled his cap down to hide anything about him that might seem inhuman. "I uh," he started, trying to find the right words. "What does it take for one to join you- er the circus?" He kept his eyes cast downwards. Most though he was possessed, that he was always rolling his eyes into the back of his head. "If its possible?"
The circus master(?) had come over to the two of them. Evangeline opened her mouth only to be interrupted by the man. "Of course! We are having a shortage of members right now so you are very welcome here. Please follow me and we will get you situated." The man smiled, gesturing for Tarek to follow him. Evangeline smiled as well and gave him a small wave before she went help the rest of the circus clean up.
Tarek was surprised to say the least. He was almost ready to be turned away by the lady. He remembered seeing her act. How breath taking it was. Tarek quickly followed the circus master. Over joyed to have been excepted so easily. "Thank you." He muttered.
"Of course! We are always happy to have more people!" The master lead Tarek to a makeshift office. He sat down in a chair motioning for Tarek to sit in the other. "I'm going to have you fill out a few papers before we get started. He handed him a pen and a few pieces of paper.
Evangeline was excited to see what their new recruit could do. She quickly packed somethings up, leaving the rest for everyone else. She waited outside the 'office' for them to be finished.
Tarek looked around the makeshift office as he sat. Clear amazement on his face, even though it was just an office. He looked down at the papers, and took the pen in his clawed like hand. Tarek knew his hand writing wasn't the best. But hopped that the ring master would be able to read the papers when he finished.
The circus manager didn't really read the papers since they were mostly things to sign, he did, however, read the very little personal information written on them. Just the important stuff like deadly allergies, health conditions, and favorite hobby. Evangeline grew bored already so she went off backstage to change into her regular clothes.
health? Tarek didn't know what he was allergic to. He didn't even know if he had any allergies. So he had simply put a small question mark, adding another one to the other health question. But for hobby he put juggling. It had quickly become one of his favorite past times when he was a child. The way things could fly into the air only to be caught and tossed once again. Perhaps that was why he was so amused by the last act. "Is that all?" He asked, tapping the pen in his hand out of anxiety.
The manager smiled at Tarek, "It sure is! If you are ready, I can take the papers and I can introduce you to our family!" He stood up and moved away from the table acting as his desk. "I wasn't expecting anyone to ever want to join our circus since we all have we are all a little special. If the general population knew about that then we would be quickly put out of business."
Tarek nodded his head in agreement. The world viewed those as different bad. He learned that lesson pretty early on in life. "The world fears what it doesn't understand," he quickly added a, "sir," at the end. Not really knowing what he should call the man.
"Yeah… no need to call me sir! My name is Ned, so feel free to call me that." Ned opened the door to his "office" and held it open for Tarek so he can show him around. A smile was all over his face since this was the first time in too long that someone joined his circus.
(Bump~)
