Welcome to The Cirque » Places

         Harriet rolls her eyes, putting on her suit for the lion taming. Her metal fingers click around the buttons, sometimes slipping. She puts on her top hat and waits for a while behind the stage. The girl looks at her watch, which displays the time as 3:30. Damn, it's thirty minutes 'til the audience gets her! Harriet thinks. She walks over to the lion's cage, which is decorated with red swirls. Reaching through the bars, she pats the lion with a gloved hand. It responds by breathing out a low, deep snarl. "Oh shut it, you." She says, with a hint of a French accent. Harriet sighs and sits down on the floor, rubbing her temples. "Jeez, I'm hungry. I'm going to go ask if I can I have some food." She blurts and walks away.
