Cirque
The Ringleader Cirque
The sounds of the crowd chattered through the air, bouncing against the canvas cloth of the tent, creating a quiet rumble soaking into their ears. Dim lights flickered across the seating, the smell of funnel cakes and cotton candy filling the heads of the crowd. Small children giggled and laughed as they ran through the seats, mothers scolding them and pulling them into the chairs. Suddenly, a spotlight clicked onto the dirt stage, where a lone figure stood. "Ladies, men, and gentlethems! If I could direct your attention to me!" Voices hushing, the figure bared a grin full of glittering fangs at the crowd, making a small murmur run through the undulating waves of bodies. "My name is Cirque, and I am proud to present Circum Mortuis!" Making a grand sweep of their arm, the audience noted the jerky, unnatural movement of their body. However, they held a certain grace as they dropped the top hat from their head, rolling it into the palm of their hand. Holding the hole out to them, two crows flew out of the darkness within and through the entrance to the tent, cawing all the way. "The Circus of the Dead." Letting out a loud belly laugh at the stunned crowd, they replaced the hat on their head. "Welcome to tonight's affairs, come one, come all, lay your eyes upon the forbidden world between worlds-- Circum Mortuis!" Practically bellowing the name, they bowed and swept their body to point to the darkened backstage curtain. The audience held their breath as a hand reached through the curtain, tugging it out of the way.
