Solo RP 1- Arrival at the Cirque Du Coeur Torve
------------------------
The note was still clenched in Lucrezia's hand. At the moment, it was the only tie between her and the circus where she had grown up. A single sheet of rough paper was meant to act as a reminder of the last sixteen years of her life. How could a single peice of paper do that? She frowned at it and read it again. It was some long note from the ringmaster explaining he was sad to see her go and that she would be sorely missed. Already the fold marks were beginning to crack the ink. Lucrezia folded it back up again and tucked it into the rucksack on her shoulder.
It was weird to be headed out of the city instead of into it on market day. She reminded herself that there wasn't anything left in Rome and kept walking, her thin-soled shoes pounding again and again against the dirt road. She knew she'd find work somewhere. Maybe another circus in another town. They were always hiring.
Climbing over the crest of a hill, the faint sound of carnival music became audible. Lucrezia looked down into the valley below her and spotted what looked to be a big top in the process of disassembly.
Her heart fluttered a little. Maybe they were hiring.

When Lucrezia closed her eyes, she saw sequins. She'd been sewing the little orange sparklies onto the leotard she had found for the last two hours with the intention of making it a costume. The diamond pattern she'd decided on was coming along nicely, with the little plastic disks aligning themselves in neat little increasing rows like soldiers in formation. However, trying to push a needle and thin orange thread through nearly microscopic holes got tiring after a while.
She closed up the box of sequins and stowed the whole operation in the nightstand.
She'd get back to this later. She was determined to finish the costume.
