Welcome to Gaia! ::

Located north east of the main tent, and in between the performers and animal tent, is the Freak tent. This one’s canvas is a royal blue color with a red flag that is tattered and stiff in some places. A picketed sign gives times for when this tent is open.

Inside is quite a gruesome scene. Animals and people sit in either cages, chains, or free if they are permitted. Deformities from birth, spells, or accidents are what make them, them and here they are “shown off” by the circus master. Those who take up residence in this tent care for themselves and their neighbors on their own. One case of this is that of the “Ugliest Man Alive” who is taken care of by his wife who lingers in the background until closing time.

All are allowed in here, but be weary of your limbs and selves.

Slinking through the grass, unheard paws, a dark blur, Kaida curiously ran around the grounds. Tents had been set up, she had been lurking around the mishap HQ for a while now. always looking from the shadows of the forbiden forest. Now there were tents being set up and a comotion stirred the life around the HQ. Being the cat she was, Kaida grew curious, and now lurks in the tents. The first tent that cought her attention was the, maybe it was the red flag, but she scurried to to the tent.

Inspecting the surroundings, to make sure no one was arround. Her ears alert to every noise that was around. Seeing no one was around She looked back at the forest from which she came, "Abby.. It's safe, come here." She sent a low call to her friend. This call was a low growling and a meow, that could only be picked up by those with sensitive ears.

At the call, a neon colored wild dog ran out from the forest, her tail low, and ears down. The timid dog made a quick dart for her cat companion. She stop and crouched low to the ground hope she hane not been seen.

"Erishi does not like this place, no no no." Erishi muttered, eyes half closed and arms wrapped tightly around herself. She looked from one cage to the next, blinking.

"People don't belong in cages, no no." She said quietly, blinking.

"Erishi is sorry." She said, eyes cast low. "Erishi wishes she can help."

She probably could, but it just wouldn't do to get people who could use hocus-pocus mad at her. Bad stuff allways happens when you make people mad who could hurl fireballs.

She jumped when someone said her name. Turning, she blinked at Julian with wide eyes. "Ah!" She carefully walked over to him, making sure not to get anything straw-like on herself and grabbed him by the hand. "Julian! Hello!"

Now, at least, she had some backup in case anything in cages decided that they wanted her to be in a cage. Nope, nope.

"Do not worry, Julian. Erishi is tough. She won't crawl off somewhere and die." Crawl off somewhere and dredge up an a*****e, that she would do. But not crawl off and die. That would be boring.

"No... Shammi is still in a bad place. They moved the bad place. It's not where Erishi was when Erishi was in the bad place." Her face darkened, but lit up a moment later. "But I think something bad happened to the bad bird who stold her!"

'Bad' as in Erishi had coughed up black feathers the other night after blacking out in the woods with him. She was slightly bothered by that fact.

"Yeah. Feathers hurt when they come out of your nose."

"Ummm. Went to Master's. He's around somewhere. He's kinda little and angry and red headed, so don't poke him with sticks. Master put my hand back in. There was lots of blood." She shrugged, tilting her head to one side. "You were a nicer doctor than him. Thank you for helping Erishi." Giving a grin, she hugged him.

"Oh! Ribby! Erishi forgot about Ribby! Yes, yes!" Erishi nodded several times. "Erishi would like ribby back. Tell Len if she wants a ribbyrang, she can make one out of her own ribby."

"Erishi would not want to be a bother. But, if bad things happen when Erishi gets Shammi, make sure Master doesn't hurt her. He's mean." She gave him a very serious nod.

"Len is such a little angel." Her smile was more than a little lucid. "Ribbyrangs do sound like fun.

Looking around at the cages, Erishi's face turned serious. Really, truly, serious. "Erishi feels bad for people in cages. She-" Here her face twitched and scrunched up- "I was never fond of them, myself."
