Its been a year or so since then, the Noah's Ark Circus has become famous. Picking up new preformers and stage hands a long the way. It keeps (y/n) and the others fed and its relatively fun. Tonight the circus had stopped just outside of London, after a few hours of preporation the tent was set up. (Y/n) was watching as crowds of people pilled into their seats, (y/n) could see everything from his seat.
He was sitting up on the tight rope stand, watching everything from below. (Y/n) was dressed in laced boots, brown pants with a black belt, a grey shirt, a necklace made by Doll and a red paint around his fake eye. (Y/n)'s job was to occassionally preform on the tightrope but to mostly make sure Doll doesn't fall off.
Joker had took center stage, quieting down the crowd. Joker was cleanly dressed in a purple outfit with a blue line of paint going over his left eye. Holding four different colored balls in both hands he does a small bow.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys n' girls of all ages, welcome to the incredible, stupendous, unparalleled Noah's Ark circus" He begins juggling the balls "I'm Joker, the Ringleader, a pleasure to meet ya it is"
Joker bows again letting the balls fall down and bounce off his head, the croud laughing at the sight. (Y/n) chuckled a bit as well.
"Tonight your sure to see performances that will stun and amaze ya, and leave ya a breathless"
The lighting darkens, as the preformers start to get into position. Doll, Beast, Dagger, and the new preformer Snake take their places on either side of Joker. Wendy and Peter sitting on a trapeze swing. While (y/n) hooks his legs on the tight rope and hangs upside down, holding his necklace up out of his face. The lights brighten up the room as the crowd claps.
"And now a performance from our fire eatin' Jumbo, the show of the century begins!" Joker announced.
At that time Jumbo stood behind Joker, holding a torch in hand and let out a roar as the other ran away acting scared. Jumbo puts the fire a few feet from his face and pretends to eat it, then with another roar the fire flew up into the air.
With in a few minutes Peter and Wendy had gotten into position at the trapeze, swinging a good few feet off the ground. Flipping into each others grip.
"First up we have our two talented trapeze artists, Peter and Wendy!" Joker announced
Wendy let go of the trapeze, doing a flip mid-air and grabbing onto Peter's hand as the swung to safety. Those little acrobatic devils always like to show off for the crowd. By this time Dagger had brought out the spinning wheel with another female preformer strapped to it. Dagger began throwing well daggers at the lady, occassionally getting close to skin or throwing off a little.
"Our knife thrower, a perfect shot who never misses his target" Joker announced "Dagger!"
Dagger turns to the crowd and waves, dressed almost like a mime with all the white stripes on his outfit. A few seconds after words Snake had stripped of his shirt and took his position, covered in snakes.
"And now the daringly beautiful dance with the rarist of rarities, our serpant man the amazing Snake" joker said in a lower voice to not disturb the snakes.
Snake did a few movements while wrapped in snakes, honestly (y/n) always wondered how Snake was so good with snakes. By this time Doll had arrived on the tight rope with (y/n), she was dressed like a doll, in a white skirt gloves and shoes and holding a small umbrella. (Y/n) wished her luck and took his spot as safe keeper.
"And our next performance, if ye look above ye ladies and gents, a death defyin' walk across the tallest tight rope by the lovely circus princess Doll!" Joker said gesturing up to her.
Doll had began walking across the rope like it was nothing, such grace yet no fear in her face. (Y/n) was impressed how well she could do given such little space. Doll then did a split while walking, stopping in the middle of the tight rope. (Y/n) held a rope in his hand, the other in tied to the mast that held up the tight rope. She then did a back flip which turned into a hand stand.
(Y/n) removes the necklace, tossing it down to Joker for safe keeping. Turning towatds the tight rope (y/n) steps to the edge of the rope, stepping out slowly at first.
"Along with her the circus prince, don't let his looks fool ye, he is a demon when it comes to movin' " Joker said "the talented tightrope walker Silver!"
(Y/n) walks towards Doll, turning towards the crowd and doing a bow. Then turning towards Doll once again, doing another bow and offering her a hand. Doll takes (y/n)'s hand, placing her feet apon his and leaning backwards off the tight rope.
Down below Beast had already gotten things set up while everyones attention was with Doll. One whip crack sent everyone's eyes towards Beast and her tiger. Beast was dressed in black and red, leather that showed off some of her chest, stockings and a red rose in her hair.
"Last but not least, we bring ya a famous tamer of wild cats, Beast!" Joker announced "this very special act calls for some particapation, are there any volunteers then?"
(Y/n) stood beside Doll, watching the act below. A man clad in black from head to toe stood and made his way down towards Joker and Beast.
"Oh ho ho, the gent in the tail coat there sure looks eager eh?" Joker said offering a hand to the man "please come up on stage"
The man steps onto stage and began walking passed joker towards the tiger, ignoring his words. The man gently began to pet the tiger like it was a common house cat. (Y/n) couldn't really hear the man speak unlike joker and Beast, but he was pretty sure the man was complementing the tiger.
Which the tiger replied by stuffing the mans head in her mouth, something that could have killed him. Which got the crowd a little excited and scared. Beast raised her whip towards the tiger.
"Release that man immediately Bee!" She orders.
The man stopped the whip mid-strike, "she has done nothing to earn punishment, the fault lays with me, I was so over come by her beauty that I behaved rudely" the man said loud enough for everyone to hear "furthermore I doubt indescriminant whipping will count as a way to tame her"
Beast backs up a bit pulling the whip from his hand. After the show ended the crowd began to leave the tent, (y/n) began to climb down the mast. Retrieving the necklace from Joker and then heading to his tent. A small light blue tent surrounded by nine others, which are used for the main preformers. Stepping inside (y/n) stretches and yawns. It was late, (y/n) was rather tired but it was a little to early to sleep.
After a bit (y/n) had changed into more casual clothing and removed the paint. Laying down on the bed, he puts his hands behind his heads. It was good to have a place in the world, but (y/n) didn't like the cost for it. He knew that one night this week, he and the other major preformers would have to head out to the city.
Father's orders....
