3 ♞ Confidant and Circus Bullies

Noah's Ark was arriving to the village, Noah's Ark Circus! Stated the purple poster with golden lettering. The border of the page was fancy black swirls that surrounded the pictures of circus performers, as if swirly clouds was trying to block the sunlight away. Me and my two younger unrelated siblings sat at the back seats in a giant striped tent, and on stage was a group of circus performers.

The circus performers included a man named Joker, with purple eyes and long orange hair bleached at the tips and braided at the strands. He  wears light-blue make-up, which he uses to paint a tear drop under his left eye, and has four thick hoop earrings on each ear.

His outfit is composed of a yellow bow that you could see dangling from behind his chin, a purple coat used like a cape, trimmed with gold draped off his shoulders and the same gold as diamonds near the bottom, the inside was a dark red rose coloured fabric that also had diamonds lined at the bottom but of a darker colour. Underneath that was a lavender and coal checkered vest with a white ruffled button up shirt beneath that, which in between had a big bushy bow that you could identify if you noticed the ribbons dangling under his vest.

The rest of his attire resulted with puffy short pants with diamonds on the seam. He wore boots that from ankle and above looked like white knee high socks. At his feet was black which curled upwards like little christmas elves' shoes seen in stories. Additionally, one of his hands had the appearance of a skeleton's and the other was in a white glove that probably misses it's pair.

"Welcome To The Noah's Ark Circus." Said Joker with balls of all sorts of colours between his small variety of fingers, and bending down with a bow. His smile stretched across his face making us kids smile along with him with the excitement of what is to come. In fact, we had been listening to the other children talking about the circus all the time. They we almost as excited as we were. Almost.

"My Name is Joker. If You'll Look Here..." He said starting to juggle the balls, I already knew his name and the larger performers probably because it's been the talk. When stealing apples, the grocer was talking to a lady about how he wanted to go see the circus with her. In the end he caught us stealing the apples after he got rejected but we still got at least three.

"Whoops" He then failed to continue juggling as thuds of objects landed on the floor of the grand stage.

"Ahem! The whole circus is jostling for a chance to give you a fun show!" He said as a small crowd appeared from behind him after picking up the items which he dropped.

"Here we go! With one shot from the fire-eating man... The show of the century begins~!" And then a large man appears breathing out fire.

"Next is our gasp-inducing flying blaco!" As two short children had caught the attention of the audience by standing up on a high platform. Diving off the board into each others arms and then releasing each other again.

Then there was a sound of something crashing into each other, giving it a sound of impact. Noticing it was a dart hitting a direct bulls eye everyone gasped.

"He never misses his mark! The bull's-eye knife thrower!" And then we get introduced to a young man with daggers in his hand aiming them at a lady attached to a giant spinning board.

"And Next is--" Silence approached as everyone scanned the room where the next performance is kicking off.

"The princess of our circus and her death-defying tightrope walk!" The spotlight was then directed at a lady standing on a thin line staying balanced with simply stretching her entire arm span. Death-defying? Since when did that get so common, I thought it'd be nice to be the only one with a death defying experience.
