The Circus of Strange may seem like a normal, cotton-candy-infested traveling show upon hearing the name, but in reality, it's nothing like that. It's an illegal circus, holding shows late at night, and in secret. This circus has no acrobats, elephants, or dancing flamingoes; it only has so-called 'freaks' for people to laugh at. 


You were kidnapped, in your sleep. You remember the day, as it was the day your entire life changed. Almost immediately after your capture, you were forced to become part of the Circus of Strange. You don't own the circus, nor do you manage it... You are an act. A show. A laugh. Daily, people attend this 'circus' to see you, to laugh at your strangeness. Really, you are a normal person, but the Circus of Strange has done something to you. Something cruel, something only a wicked man would do, just for money. You are treated like dirt at this cruel circus, and you wish to go back to the life you once lived, before you were changed by the ringmaster. Will you escape? Or will the Circus of Strange hypnotize you into loving the cruel shows you are forced to appear in? 


------------


RULES


 

  • I will tolerate absolutely NO FIGHTING! If you even have a lil' argument about who falls in love with who (just please be aware that this RP is not totally based on love), then I will be angry. And nobody likes an angry wedge of cheese.
  • USE CORRECT SPELLING/GRAMMAR. If you don't know how to spell a word, that's absolutely fine, but please, no text talk. TEXT TALK WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. 
  • NOBODY is perfect. You cannot be in the circus because of a special talent, or whatsoever. You HAVE to be changed (For example, the ringmaster injected medicine into you to give you super strength). 
  • At least TRY to interact with everybody's (put 'chara' at the top of your skelly) character. It's not fun when all you get to do is "Bob: He sighed, bored." 
  • ONE BOY FOR EACH GIRL, AND VISE VERSA. 



------------------

LIFE FOR THE FREAKS 


-- Everybody lives inside of cells, in the circus, and are only let out if the ringmaster needs to make them more interesting by changing them, punishing them for doing something bad, or use them in a show --

Everyday at 6:00 AM, everybody is expected to wake up. All of the freaks (as the ringmaster calls them) are released from their cells and into a large cafeteria-like building right next to the massive circus tent. After eating a disgusting breakfast consisting of stale food, the freaks are allowed four hours of free time inside of the cafeteria-building, where they are watched carefully by security guards. 

At 10:00 AM, everybody is led into the ring of the circus, inside of the circus tent. Everybody practices their act, until they are worn out and tired. 

At 4:00 PM, the shows begin. You are ordered to go into the ring when told to, and you perform for everybody. You perform show after show after show, with barely any time to rest. The shows end at 12:00, where everybody is put back into their cells to sleep until the next day. 



-----------

SCENERY

The ring is inside of a large white-and-red tent, as you would normally see in a circus. The tent, however, is located deep in a forest. So deep into the dense trees that cops would never find it.

The cells are small and all-metal, without any bed. There are bathrooms in the cafeteria-building. 

If you misbehave, you are taken to a large, metal room stained with the blood of other freaks before you. There, your punishment is harsh, depending on what you did.

Ciel: He laid in his cell, sleeping. It was almost 6:00 AM. His cat ears twitched as he slept, and his tail waved on the ground. 


Corvina: She sat in her cell, already awake. She sat much like a puppet, her head tipped to the side like a doll, and her hands laying limply across her lap.

(( Angelappocolypse, please see one of the rules. Your person (Jasmine) MUST be changed by the ringmaster. ))


Ciel: He groaned, some light flooding into his cell. The ringmaster walked down the slim hallway in between the cell, his purple tailcoat flying after him. Ciel woke up, and the ringmaster opened his cell, then moved to open the rest. The neko groggily walked out of his cell and stretched a few times, the bell on his collar jingling. 


Corvina: She looked up, seeing the ringmaster open her cell. The ringmaster quickly grabbed hold of her strings, and jerked her out. The girl made a high-pitched noise of pain as the ringmaster pulled her, but she was on her feet and began to walk towards the cafeteria-house.
