By the Prickling of my Thumbs

0 INK

It's a dark midsummer's night in the south. The carnival is rolling into town to the tune of a hellish calliope. The ringmaster broods over a well of souls that powers a merry-go-round. It's running low, the need a pit stop.

855 readers have visited By the Prickling of my Thumbs since Jack Winters created it.

Introduction

Based loosely off the novel "Something Wicked this way comes"

It's been twenty years since Jim Nightshade and Will Halloway disbanded Cooger and Dark's carnival of horror that fed on the desires of humanity. A new Ringmaster has found the merry-go-round and started a new carnival of dark souls seeking immortality. He has noticed that it requires power from a well of souls, and quickly found a manual in the gears. Now they have stopped in the south to gather more souls in their hellish journey.

Leroy Deviant found himself in one of his favorite places in the whole carnival, his private study. It was a large car that was part of the jet black train that carried the carnival where it was to preform. It held a desk and several armchairs, in case he had guests, and a bed tucked away in the corner. The raven haired man found very little use in sleep, or company, yet he always partook in the occasional nap, and always had guests in his study. At the moment everyone who reported to him would be guiding the drones, which were humans with their souls sucked out, in setting up camp. Soon however, they would all come flocking to him to request time slots in the routine, and to find out their quota of souls they had to steal. It was simple really. Large quotas meant grander shows, which meant more fun. Leroy sighed and stared at a random spot on the roof of his study. He had to figure out how many souls he needed, he had enough to keep rejuvenating his workers for a couple months, but he had to fill the tank eventually. The question remained, now or later?

Most recent OOC posts in By the Prickling of my Thumbs

Re: [OOC] By the prickling of my thumbs...

Because the history is too long winded and complicated I decided to role play it out in flash backs and dreams...

Re: [OOC] By the prickling of my thumbs...

I'd like to join as a "beast" under the Beast Master, if that's alright~ My character is a hellhound - who, rest assured, can take human form and has a good number of weaknesses. His performance with the Beast Master and assistant would be a feigned show of the Beast Master's prowess, with him simply acting along with the Beast Master's "commands" the whole time.

Also, I realize you're the GM and everything, but I don't feel it's very fair for your character profile to be so short... You completely omit your history but still ask it from others.
