Welcome to the Carnival

Part II - The Circus Star

You sit down in the first of the many rows set up in the tent. The lights get turned off except for a single spotlight being shown in the middle of the tent. Mist started to crawl against the ground, some of it going on your shoes.

A man appeared where the spotlight was and spoke into a microphone. "Greetings ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. Welcome to the Dark Carnival!" Everyone began to clap, and you joined in. "Now let me introduce our main acts for tonight. We have The Grand Highblood," A large man that looks about 8 ft tall walked out, with purple and black clothes on, and scary looking light grey make up. "We have Kurloz Makara," The cute boy that showed you where to sit walked out and honked while waving. He wore a skeleton outfit and purple shorts, and he had stitches on his mouth. "And last we have Gamzee Makara!" Another boy walked out, wearing grey polka-dotted pants and a purple and black shirt. He had some funny looking clown make-up on as well.

The boy named Kurloz came up to you and pointed to the centre of the tent. You looked around and saw Latula. She nodded and smiled widely. You got up and Kurloz took your hand, leading you to the spot light. The Grand Highblood put his hands on the ground and Kurloz stepped onto them. Once Kurloz gave a thumbs up The Grand Highblood lifted him into the air and Kurloz balanced on his hands. Gamzee then guided you over to a ladder and you climbed up. "W-wait.. You expect me to get on your hands?" you said to Kurloz. He nodded and gave you a honk. Reluctantly you stepped onto his hands and everyone in the tent started to clap. Kurloz honked and smiled and you were just standing there scared out of your mind.

"C-can I get down now?" you looked down and asked. The Grand Highblood gave a growl and spoke in a low voice, "Be patient lil' mama. You'll be down in a second."  The tone of his voice made it seem like an invisible 'or else' was at the end of that sentence so you just stood there, your vision beginning to double everything and your stomach beginning to hurt. "I...I can't see strait." you quietly say. You begin to wobble and fall. Kurloz quickly honks three times then catches you, the crowd gasping then clapping and cheering loudly. Kurloz jumps off of GHB's hands and lands on the ground, putting you down after. Everyone cheers and claps once more and you hug Kurloz tightly. "Thank you so much!" Kurloz takes your had and guides you back to your seat, picking up a dirty pen off of the floor and writing something on your arm. ' I'm sorry we can't talk more but here's my number ###-#### '
