Introduction

Image

The circus arrives without warning.
No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts or billboards, no mentions or advertisements on local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

The towering tents are striped in black and white, no gold or crimsons to be seen. No color at all, save for the neighboring trees and the grass of the surrounding fields. Black and white stripes on grey sky; countless tents of varying shapes and sizes, with an elaborate wrought iron fence encasing them in a colorless world. Even what little ground that is visible from inside is black and white, powdered or painted, or with some other circus trick.

Within hours everyone in town has heard about it. By afternoon the news has spread several towns over. Word of mouth is a more effective way of advertisement than typeset words and exclamation points on paper pamphlets or posters. It is impressive and unusual news, the sudden appearance of a mysterious circus. People marvel at the staggering heights of the tallest tents. They stare at the clock that sits just inside the gates that no one can properly describe.

And the black sign painted in white letters that hangs upon the gate, the one that reads:

Open at nightfall, closes at dawn
-The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

This role play is loosely upon the book "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. But, you can still understand the role play perfectly well without reading the book.

Le Cirque des Reves, or the Circus of Dreamers, is a mysterious traveling circus in the late 1800's. The circus erratically shows up in random locations, coming and going whenever it pleases. The Circus travels all over Europe and is beginning to branch out into Asia.

Le Cirque des Reves is different from any other circus preceding it. Instead of smoke and mirrors illusions, everything is real. The contortionist that can fit into the box, the acrobats soaring upon trapezes without nets beneath them, the illusionists who turn pocket watches into doves. There is no deception. But, the regular population will never know of the true magical people within the Cirque. To get into the Circus, you must of had to go through rigorous auditioning. Only the best may enter the Circus.

What will happen to the magical people within? Or the rather unremarkable people who are so enchanted by the circus, they follow it everywhere and are determined to understand what is happening backstage?

The Available Positions:

Ring Leader:
1) Open

Illusionists: Use real magic to create illusions that are actually real.
1) Taken
2) Taken

Acrobats: Perform stunts and amazing feats in the air or on the ground.
Unlimited amount.

Contortionist: Performs feats with the body and nothing else, manipulating body parts in odd ways.

2)Open

Fortune Teller: Reads tarot cars, palm reading, tea leaves. Actually has true psychic abilities such as reading the emotions of others, and foreseeing the future.
1) Taken

Unlimited amount.

Malina stood and wandered around with Alaska, spotting Eca speaking with Zeline.

She walked towards them nodding to both, then turning to Eca, "Shall we take our walk now?" She asks, and looks over at Zeline, "Will you be joining us?"

Tara was walking, still calling Malina's name, when she saw Eca and Zeline speaking to one another. "Oh, good evening you two. Have you seen-" She stopped as she spotted Malina walking toward the pair. "Oh there you are. I came to tell you that I think there is something wrong with Moonlight, the black mare. I don't know if it's anything, but she's wheezing and-" Tara stopped again when she noticed that the trio was planning on doing something. She smiled, embarrassed that she had interrupted. "Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted. I guess it can wait until tomorrow."

Tara comes over and says something being wrong with Moonlight.

"Oh... No, no. I will come check her out." Malina says, "Zeline.. Eca.." She nods to both and turns on her heel, motioning Tara to follow. Alaska trails behind.

"Wheezing?" She asks, "Anything else?" She wanders back towards the tent and comes upon Moonlight's stall, bringing her out and placing her hand on the side of the horse, feeling the powerful horses lungs move beneath her hand. Moonlight was a proud mare, beautiful and strong. She smiles quietly and continues to walk around her, feeling for any sign of broken ribs or possible injuries.

Tara began to follow Malina back to the tent, but stopped and looked back at Zeline and Eca. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you were doing-" She stopped, seeing that Malina was already inside the tent.

Tara finally caught up to her as she asked if anything else was wrong with Moonlight. "Not that I know of. I mean I heard it and I came to get you. I figured that you'd know. Do horses get colds? Maybe it's just a horse cold." Tara knew that she sounded stupid, but she kept babbling at the girl while she took out the mare and began to walk her around. "Ya know, I probably just overreacted. You know how I do that sometimes."

A small smile flashes on Malina's face, "I can't argue with that." She smiles at her, "But that's ok.. It's part of the Tara Charm I suppose."

She smiles, "I don't feel a broken rib or even a fracture. She is extremely healthy. Which is good, but from my experiences, horses are just as susceptible to asthma and allergies as we are. That's what I would assume anyway, we shall go to the market tomorrow and see if there is a real vet. It's nothing to truly worry about though."

Tara smiled at Malina. "Ugh. Sorry about that... again. And thank you... again. Maybe sometime you can teach me how to actually take care of these huge creatures. I mean I hate having to interrupt you all the time, and I'm thinking the animals like you better than they do me." Tara sighed and put back on a smile. "Anyway, where were you gonna go with Eca and Zeline?"

Zeline opened her mouth in reply to Malina's question, but closed it into a small pout as Tara came over to them. She snickered a bit as the dark hair girl talked in a panic- then suddenly stopped to apologize. "Isn't it already tomorrow?" the red head commented with a small grin. The circus ran by night, not by day. If they were to wait until tomorrow, it would be a few hours sleep away.

Malina soon hurried off, with a babbling Tara behind her. Zeline looked at Eca and shrugged. "I once worked with one of the tigers. It tried to snap at me, so I hit it," she said to nobody in particular. She wasn't sure why she had ever worked with the animals, considering her amazing abilities, but that was the only memory she had of the experience. "I think we traded that one away or it died... of old age." She added the last few words hesitantly, though she was sure nobody would suspect her of killing the tiger. She wasn't a killer, she just had a grudge against most animals.

Eca smiled at Zeline's comment about the tiger, she could relate to that, she wasn't much of an animal person either, more a spirit person, though cats she could handle. "Well even if tomorrow only a few hours away, there's still time to check out the haunted houses," Eca said, "We should wait though for Malina to get back, maybe twenty minutes?" she asked, more to herself than to Zeline, though she wouldn't mind if she did answer.

"Well Eca invited me for a walk." Malina says shyly with a hidden smile and she pushes her hair off her face, they approach Eca and Zeline again.

"Are you two ready?" She asks with a small smile.

Zeline was about to reply when Malina came over, quicker than expected. "I think we're finally ready now. Who will be leading the way?" The red head would have loved to lead the small parade of freaks and fabulous people alike, but she had no idea where exactly they were going.

"That'd be me," Eca said. She stood for a little while, awkwardly, before walking away. She led them down the dirt road that led into the London and then she took a series seemingly random alleys soon finding themselves in Belgravia, one of London's most exclusive neighborhoods, and in front of front of a red wooden door that had a sign above it saying 'The Grenadier'.

Eca turned around, actually looking excited, "So this London's most famous haunted pub, but let's just see how haunted," she turned back to the door, opening it and stepping back for the others to enter first, "Shall we?"

Tara saw the trio walk away and became extremely curious. She followed behind them on the roads, staying hidden in the shadows. The got to a pub whose sign read "The Grenadier". Tara had seen this the last time the circus was in London and had thought that it was both creepy and cute at the same time. Eca said something about it being haunted and Tara got excited. She gasped and then covered her mouth with her hands. She quickly jumped behind one of the dumpsters outside and hoped that they had not heard her.

Zeline followed along curiously, peering at the pub with a mixed sense of dread and excitement. "We shall," she replied to Eca, stepping into the pub. She could actually use a drink as well if it was still in function. The red head was not familiar with London and found its people to be a bit uppity. "Is there a story to this place?" she asked, stepping away from the door so the other two could enter.

Malina shudders as they walk towards the pub, her grandmother had taught her how to sense spirits, and her mother had a gift that allowed her to see and speak with spirits. Malina could only pick up on them, she had never fully expanded her horizons, she was much too afraid. For she had heard horrible stories of possessions and demons.
