"Oh, you're here, you're here! Tonight, we'll be showing the sad fate that some of this world carry. Children that God has abandoned, restlessly creeping out. Children who can't even carry the trembling limbs they were born with. Their shaking tongues even accidentally cry out. The crowns of their heads that caress the dark clouds. The smile as they dream of their mother's embrace. Ooh, the deformity! DEFORMITY! Drop by and see him. Drop by and see him."

~ The Chairman

Plot
Deep back in the woods there is a traveling circus come to town. The cast is all jolly, and although their forms are strange, it is ever so fun. You're a visitor, aren't you? Saw one of our fliers in town and came to see? Well, take a seat, and enjoy the show! We have freaks of all kinds here, ones that know tricks, ones that are funny, ones who disturb and disgust, and some just for show.

***

You know, we weren't always like this. These wretched things sitting behind the bars of our cages, waiting to be trotted out for all to gawk at. Most of us were normal. We heard of a fabulous show deep in the woods where you could find amazing sights brought to you from foreign lands! We came to enjoy ourselves. We were their guests. Yet here we are today, tortured and mutilated into what you see before you today, standing upon the stage. So...what will you do? Will you try to save us? Will you run far away, and try to escape the fate that befell us? Or...will you join us? We could always use another volunteer from the audience...

Notes
This RP will be loosely based off of the song "Dark Woods Circus," as the title implies. You don't need to know anything about the song, though, the plot will stand alone and use mostly OCs. The "Cast" listed below is merely a list of the freaks shown in the original music video. You can use one of those ideas if you like, or you may make your own.

Rules
1. Please follow all guild rules as well as site rules.
2. Literacy is a must. No less than a paragraph per post, please. I prefer more, but will make do with at least a paragraph.
3. If I disappear, just send me a PM. Chances are I'm busy or forgot that I hadn't posted and will do my best to get on it.
4. If interested, please PM me.
5. If you do PM me, please put a bunny in it.
6. My character shall be one that's been with the circus for some time now. Yours should be one who is just coming to see the show.

The Jolly Cast
one with two heads
a blue beast (who loves to eat things cold)
the couple with strange forms
the chairman with big eyes

a deformed diva
Real Name: Fukui Kou
Nickname: the Sable Siren
Gimmick/Talent: A heavenly voice and incredible range, but physically deformed enough to frighten most people. He has several vestigial wings growing out of his back at odd angles and his legs below the knees are covered in a thick, rough, yellowish skin with talon-like toenails.
Bio: When he was seven, Fukui begged his older brother to take him to the circus when it came to town. They finally went together, and it was one of the best nights of his young life! All of the freaks and performers, things he had never dreamed of before in his life, all dancing and skipping around just for him! It was as though he’d stepped into a fantastic dream he never wanted to wake up from. Unfortunately, his wish came true. As his brother tried to make him leave after the show, Fukui pulled away from him, wanting to see the weirdos one last time up close. He got his wish, running into the ten-meter-tall chairman as he ran around the back to try and see the freaks just one more time. Before he knew it, Fukui woke up in a dark cage, everything smelled, and he was cold. It took a while for him to realize that his dream to see the circus had become the nightmare of being in it.

The air throughout the woods was heavy and slightly foreboding despite the marvelous treat that had rolled into town earlier that day. Fliers had been passed around and posters pinned up advertising the world's most unique and thrilling circus. The tent had already been set up in the middle of the woods by the time the first few curiosity seekers had come around mid-day to try and sneak a peak. Despite their best attempts, they had been turned away by a freakishly tall man in a suit and top hat who urged them to return that night with their friends to see the real show. Rumors began spreading through the town like wildfire about the acts, claiming everything from an animal tamer and acrobats, to one of the finest selections of freaks and misfits.

There had been a quiet unrest all day as some of the older members of the town had become suspicious of this new attraction. Although it would only be there one night, there was a natural sense of hesitation in the hearts of many. Still, hundreds of young people, families, and couples had already made plans to go and were eagerly awaiting the sun's final descent beyond the horizon. For as soon as the last light of the sky had faded and the street lamps flicked on with their usual soft buzz, they would all flock to the forest which had always stood by the edge of town and ready themselves for an unimaginably fantastic show. Little ever happened in town besides the usual comings and goings of your average blossoming metropolis. It seemed as though the world was unfolding before the citizens' very eyes, and that the arrival of such a storied troupe was merely par for the course as their reputation and population grew.

When the twilight eventually passed and the evening had arrived, the sound of skipping feet and chatting crowds could be heard nearly everywhere as the audience of the night began the walk through the trees. At the entrance of the tent stood a strange man, mostly sitting in the shadows of his booth, taking money and distributing tickets for admittance. Above the entrance stood what looked like an oddly shaped gate, but staring for more than a second would prove it to be a pair of performers holding hands high above the heads of the entering queue. Their legs were long, easily longer than any of their guests full height, yet they stood rather still, staring down with blank smiles as they welcomed their meal tickets for the night. Every now and then they would look at each other, exchange a brief word, but they were always orderly. With one staring out from beneath a top hat, and the other peering out from behind long bangs and a silken veil, they almost appeared to be standing at Hell's altar.

Within the tent the mood was lighter, with the audience noisily taking their seats with snacks from the vendors. A few stage hands down in the dirt ring of a stage were pushing props into view. At the center stood the man in a top hat who had earlier barred snoopers from ruining the spectacle, whispering curiously with one of the many helpers running about. His smirk was confident, his poster self-assured, and his height and smooth figure won him a few fans of his own before he even spoke. With the stage prepared, the guests arrived, and the time approaching, the lights across the tent began to dim. Spotlights flashed onto the center of the ring and the dashing chairman, and the audience finally began to quiet, their roars falling to whispers as the tension they had carried in their hearts all day reached its peak. The show was only beginning, yet for some it would never end.
