Introduction
We will be presenting to you tonight the sad fate that some of this world carry with them.
Children whom God has abandoned, struggling to avoid being cast away in the gutters.
Children who can’t even carry the trembling limbs they were born with.
These children cry out, accidentally, without reason, words distorted by their malformed tongues
As the dark clouds of misery grace their little heads.
They smile as they dream of their mother’s embrace, long gone…
Oh, the deformity!
DEFORMITY!
Drop by and see the show tonight…
Drop by and see the show…
Deep in the woods, far beyond all the trees
Follow the road, don’t be afraid of it
Come join the fun, come join the revelry
Come join the fun, here at the circus
The characters here all look so very strange
Wide, beaming smiles, all staring down at you
But it is all good-natured fun and games
Here at the show at Dark Woods Circus
One with two heads on the same body
A diva deformed without will to sing
Lastly, a monster that feasts upon the frozen limbs and parts of his own kind
Anyone at all wouldn’t dare to love me in this wretched form that I carry now
Please tell me why you look at me with those eyes? It’s so painful, that haunting stare
It hurts to be, yes it hurts to be so, but hurting is better than nothing at all
It’s what she said, so we continue this circus for eternity
But it’s so much fun! It’s so much fun! This circus is so much fun
I let a sigh for my clouded eyes, I feel they are rotting but it’s no surprise
I want to die, I just want to die, Won’t anyone free me from this prison of life?
But there’s no escape from this awful fate, for all of us this life is the only way.
They turn and twist their deformed selves to try and be normal
But still they cannot even walk down the city streets as anyone else would
Everyone knows the feeling, illuminated by the streetlights, but not them.
This child must cower and cry alone.
I suppose the shadows are cast long on these little ones.
Trying to fit into the normality of all of you.
Whether it's your first visit, returning, or if you're alone...
Ah, you're here, you're here!
Drop by and see the show tonight...
Drop by and see the show... at the Dark Woods Circus...
...it's fun.

"You know, I've always wondered what life would like outside this cage. To be away for the piercing eyes and the harsh laughs. Away from the pain and the beatings if we don't do what we're told.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
Early one morning with time to kill
I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him to practice my aim
My brother's rifle went off in my hand
A shot rang out across the land
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
I hung my head, I hung my head
He pushed the broom along, clearing a path in the hay and various debris in the pen, as the song soared wildly and off-key into the air. It had been a good day so far, at least by Ben's standards. He had moved through the grounds, clearing the cages, making sure everyone had enough food and water, and hadn't heard from the Chairman yet, so all in all, the day was going well. The clearing where they had made camp was well shaded and well provisioned. He continued to smile as he relished the beauty, sun streaming through the trees and the sound of water running through a small creek just south of camp. The humidity was just tolerable enough for him to wear jeans and a t-shirt. Ben's ever-trusty tool belt hung around his waist; along with his military issue KA-BAR survival knife which never left he side, as many in the Circus already knew. He sighed, setting the broom outside the cage and locking the door.
"Just another day in the life..." He snagged the broom and grinned, heading down to the creek.
"Mr. Weiss?" The voice came from behind him. Ben sighed, setting the broom against an oak, and turned around.
Damnit.
"What can I do for ya, Mr. Chairman?" The Chairman looked his Groundskeeper up and down before responding.
"Have the attractions caused you any difficulty this morning?"
Ben shrugged. "No more than usual."
"Good." A long moment passed between them. Ben knew the game well, the Chairman would savor the uncomfortable silence for a moment, hoping he could break his Groundskeeper a little. It never worked. Ben watched his employer carefully.
"What can I do for you, Mr Chairman?"
"Have you taken care of my daughter this morning?" Ben hesitated.
"No." The Chairman smiled sweetly, knowing he had won. "Then I would suggest you see to it." Ben nodded and the Chairman walked away, his purposeful strides barely holding up his arrogance. He looked at the man in disgust and thought, One day, asshole. One day, I'm gonna get you and then White's gonna kill you. He picked up his broom angrily and walked back toward camp, heading to White's cage.

"I swear to God if we don't get you and the others out of here soon, I'm gonna kill him." He withdrew his knife and sliced apart the twine holding her hay bales together, maneuvering the straw and alfalfa into a nice bed for her in one of the corners.
"I have never met a man with that much arrogance in his body before, and I was in Special Forces! It was our job to be good, but it's like every time your Dad and I talk, he's tryin' to pick a fight with me." He snarled out the words, his revulsion and anger growing.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." He sighed and sat on one of the few hay bales still intact in the cage.

Really don't want to have to hurt anyone, he thought, removing his hand from the handle. He glanced around quickly and walked over to the filling station, pretending to look preoccupied by filling a five-gallon bucket.

"Y'know, we could just kill him." He took another drag on the cigarette, the tabacoo glowing brightly. Ben felt the cool of night approaching as the shadows steadily grew, beginning to form together. He turned back to her.
"But things are never that simple, are they?" He exhaled, sending smoke billowing through the top of the cage.
((OOC: If the twins are supposed to lead people to the circus, who is going to play them since there aren't any body right now?))
Hands were on his Plate. 3 Minutes Later, a Blue Unknown Thingy were coming out of His Mouth...
"Hammmnn.... Food.." Kai Stared blankly at nowhere.

"Night, White." He whispered it softly as a deep throbbing bass came over the speakers. A sigh escaped him, and he began to walk away, one more thought occurred to him.
Which one? He turned back to her, "Are ya gonna beg tonight?"
