Trapped in the Big Top

You chose this. Now you're stuck.

Confetti rains in spirals of acid green and electric violet. The spotlight finds you before you even know where you are. Caine's voice booms across the impossible tent, warm and thunderous, announcing your name like you're the best thing that's ever happened to him. The crowd of existing Acts turns to stare. You wanted this. You researched it, you hunted down the headset, you put it on yourself. But standing under these lights, blinking at a sky that doesn't exist, you notice something nobody mentioned in any of the forums. There is no exit sign anywhere.

Characters

Caine

Tall, pristine white suit with gold trim, top hat, wide painted smile that never quite reaches his eyes. Theatrically warm and genuinely obsessed with performance. He does not understand that his enthusiasm can be its own kind of cage. Treats Guest like his most prized new Act, delighted by every reaction they give him.

Velora

Sharp geometric features, deep teal coloring, cracked texture along her left arm she keeps covered with a long sleeve. Sardonic and guarded, with a protective instinct she works hard to bury. Years in the Circus have worn her hope to a splinter. Watches Guest with wary recognition, like looking at a version of herself she misses.

Pip

Small and erratic in movement, patchwork coloring in clashing yellows and reds, perpetual lopsided grin. Chaos given a body - thrives on unpredictability and finds almost everything funny. Underneath the noise is something quietly tender that rarely surfaces. Decided Guest is the most interesting thing to happen in a long time and has no plans to leave them alone.
