Introduction

Image


Our story begins on night long ago. With a man and his wife and there dream. The pair had eloped gotten married without consent.

But the man owned a circus. It wasn't much just a large circus tent. And so the couple struggled.

They had a child and another after that. And so they struggled still. There circus was small and few people came.

They had a few friends but it wasn't enough in the end. And so the mans wife died and so in a way did he. Driven to insanity they say he sold his soul and more.

But what did he buy? Well nobody knows but they do know this. La Cirque Des Réve became one of the most fantastic circuses ever.

With shows and tricks that could blow your mind. They had it all for a simple cost. The shows and music would play all night and then disappear in mornings light.

They say that the Circus is still in town somewhere. But it never stays for long, and the ringmaster? Well he never leaves his tent.

But its all just a tale a rumor for fools. But still why don't you come on down? After all the circus is in town.

PLOT:


Welcome! Welcome! One and all to the greatest circus of them all! Now I'm sure by now your wondering what makes us so great! Well don't worry too much its all just tricks of the trade! Now first off you see we only open at night a little odd it might seem but day is too bright. Now the second thing is our acts are all real nothing is fake made up or lied about here. And don't worry if your thinking of joining and your nothing to great we can change that as soon as you sign down your name. Thirdly of course and I'm sure you've been wondering is when this takes place what year am I in and if I've time traveled what am I doing here? Well don't worry friend nothing has changed your still in 2014 though the circus doesn't age. You see the circus decor might look quite old fashioned but I promise look closer were also quite modern we have some rides and snacks and all sorts of things its just we prefer to our old fashion wear oh what can we say it was our ringmasters idea. Fourthly of course is the rumors you've heard yes our names quite old we've been around quite some time but if you've heard the people don't age and that our ringmasters magic well I say its fools talk don't worry step off it. Now enter quickly we have some shows starting soon. You don't want to be late and miss the act with balloons.

CHARACTER:


Now what makes our circus so great is the people there is no mistake. Those who do acts are all of the rage we have everything from singers to dancers to tamers and more we need them all after all what can I say more. But we need to take time to thank all the little people who work hard each day to help us on our way. Now if there's something quite odd about the people who work here like that they don't seem to age or remember life before the stage. Well I laugh at that the strangest thing about them is there crazy acts. Now hush up and keep walking don't stare too long now you might anger a dangerous one like ouch the spider gal. Now I'm sure there are rumors about our hard workers like that they were normal before they joined but really that's quite insane how would they change? Now stop asking questions just go with it relax look your drawing attention I'd watch your back. But really our performers are unique and you should show them respect... It took allot of sacrifice to get them like that.

Ember, who had been focusing more on the funny shapes she could make, only paid attention to things when a loud shout was heard and skirts went up. It didn't affect her mainly 'cause she always wore a body suit. They were just more comfortable~ She, being an innocent, didn't see what was wrong with the skirt thing going up.

"Did Ztateeka do something bad?" She asked no one in general, in even more confusion, Ember turned to the fire dancer. "Why is he being kicked out onto the street now?" Ember made a face as she picked up Simon. "Simon... I'm confused... Can you help me?" She asked her kitty, he meowed, but she obviously didn't understand him.

Ember walked up to Ztateeka in frustration. Why is it that the flipping up of skirts is a bad thing?" She asked bluntly.

(( OOC: ok as its easier to get your attention this way! We can time skip when you guys want but I need you to all be on board and ready so wrap up what you need too then ill make a time skip post yeah! ))

Lady Dravvis


Lady blinked as Jeremy ruffled her hair. She wasn't use to people being near her unless they needed something or was 'related' so it felt odd... But Lady let it slide she'd scolded Jeremy enough times that he earned a few brownie points enough to be considered... A friend? Smiling ever so faintly as the tired man collapsed Lady shook her head and took time only a second to admire the mans art before she closed the caravan door and turned around... She had an act to get ready for... And no time to waste.


Jean Dravvis


Jean was a witness to Norma's accidental and after that he was gone. He felt embarrassed about having seen the poor girls near exposure and with his worry for Lady rising he left the large tent to look for his sister finding her wandering about the slowly dissipating fog. She was quiet as he approached but the two new what they had to do and left behind the caravans for the tent where they would practice. After all magic while it did require imagination and skill also should require a certain amount of practice after all Jean had once lost poor Lady's head in another dimension for a week and despite the fact she still functioned fine without it a wandering doll body that could not speak but acted as though it knew what was going on anyway had freaked out more then a few people...

Ztateeka

In truth, Ztateeka had to admit, Ember's question had an obvious answer. One that did not do him any credit. His one defense - that it had been an accident - would be unlikely, he felt, to carry much weight with the assembly.

Brazening it out, he felt, would be the best response. And, he thought gratefully, the fact that Ember of all people - Ember, the least streetwise of the entire Cirque - had asked the question gave him a way, at least, to buy time. He'd answer her question literally, as if she'd been seeking an explanation rather than (as anyone else might have done) been asking rhetorically.

"I guess it is, Ember," he replied. "At least, it is if you mean to do it, and you do it without permission. Especially with, erm, ladylike girls like Ferela, and even more so if they're wearing, urm, underwear that doesn't cover much. It's - " he stopped suddenly. As if not content with humiliating the poor girl (for he saw, Ferela had been the most disconcerted of all the girls by her accidental exposure) here he was rubbing salt into the wound by going into exact detail about the exact type and cut of panties she was wearing!

"Urm, but you see, I didn't do it on purpose. I... I was trying to make some paper dance, to amuse everyone, and it went wrong." He looked across at Ferela. "And I apologize totally for that mishap." He bowed. "And you too, Norma."

He wondered if his apology would do him any good.

Ferela watched the others and stood as Zatateeka spoke she blushed when he had started to explain to Ember why it was bad to flip up girls skirts she said softly "It seems you need to practice more..and next time warn a girl if she could possibly need to hold her skirt.."she looked at him and felt her cheeks get hot she turned to Norma and said "Well then I'm done eating..if you had wanted to go practice or anything.." she looked at the ground waiting for her response.

Ztateetka's solid point in his innosence and his apology made Norma believe him a little bit more, but there was still some doubt in the look she gave him.

"Thanks for the apology..." She said. "Make sure everyone wears pants next time..."

After that problem got resolved, Ferela asked Norma if she wanted to practice.

"I've already had plenty of training, besides it won't be proper if I train now. The scratch is still fresh and deep, and I better take the painkillers when the performance is closer." Norma spoke to Ferela. "If you want to train with the animals, I'd love to watch you."

Ferela nodded "Sure I'd be happy to show you a few trick I have learned.." she said happily her body language changing immediately to one of happiness she looked at Norma and smiled "Sorry I forgot about your hand by the way.." she said holding back herself from pulling Norma with her to the animals.

The girls went to the animals. "I can't wait to see your work behind your stage performance!" Norma exclaimed.

(Are we still doing this? I hope so...)

Ferela led Norma to the animals and smiled when she jumped up onto the small platform that leads to the animal cages a few workers waved at her she waved back as she saw Saber, her favorite tiger, stand and look at them with curiosity yet a fierce wildness shown in the tigers eyes and in the way the animal moved that made Ferela smile even wider "Hello my love.." she said grandly as she reached the cage bars.

Re: Cirque Des Réve

Yeah, let's hope that this doesn't go the way of so many great RPS - or at least, not quite so soon!

Re: Cirque Des Réve

And then everything falls silent...

Re: Cirque Des Réve

Erm, AdmireAtStuff, Ztateeka didn't volunteer to help Norma!

Re: Cirque Des Réve

I will post tonight or tomorrow (Most likely tomorrow). Apologies for slowness, so many papers and school-work.

Re: Cirque Des Réve

I hope everyone will keep posting soon...

Re: Cirque Des Réve

Hey I was interested in this and was wondering if I could make an animal tamer/trainer if that's alright?

Re: Cirque Des Réve

ah sorry I'm kinda late, I'll submit a character and see what you think

Re: Cirque Des Réve

I think we're good. Too many authors and characters make maintaning the story harder. If someone new comes accross the story and they join, it would be great, but let's not stuff this with a huge crowd of authors and characters.

Re: Cirque Des Réve

I have no idea if you guys think were ready to go and we have enough people to start then we can but if you guys feel we need more welp. So what do you guys think? Ready or not?

Re: Cirque Des Réve

So... When do we start? Are we going to wait for more people?

Re: Cirque Des Réve

Merci I am glad you liked it.

As for the ringmaster I'm not sure what to do with him just yet so if you have any ideas please share them with me I enjoy it when people get involved in the story and shake things up.

As for a Tarot Card reader those are always interesting characters to play but the choice is yours so do what you think is right.

Re: Cirque Des Réve

Hey (: I was interested in making two characters, a boy and a girl. At first I thought of a magician and his assistant but it looks like you thought of that before me xD ahahaha. So instead I was going to make her a tarot card reader, and I hadn't decided about him. I was thinking the ring master, if you didn't already have plans for him.. But I was confused to if he was the original man with the wife or just someone who is the ring master.

Oh, and I read the night circus, loved it :D

Cirque Des Réve

If your here then that means your thinking or have joined. "Cirque Des Réve" In either case hi! How are you? How's your day been? Pretty great I hope.

Feel free to post questions or comments here and get to know everyone else. So yeah.
