Simon Says
Dance

Name:
Castile de Blanche, or Cas for short
Age:
24
Gender:
Female
Act:
Clown
History:
She worked a series of odd jobs around her one-horse town before joining the circus, including a couple less-than-honest gigs that paid her bills. She'd been into acting since she was a little girl, and when the circus rolled into town she jumped on the opportunity to get to perform. Her role as a clown had been... disappointing, but after putting together her act and putting her own sensuous spin on the trope she was much more comfortable performing her stunts with her fellow 'clowns'.
Appearance:
Platinum blonde hair, big brown eyes and painted red lips, she's a live fast die young bombshell if you've ever seen one. She might have some tattoos under all that leather and fishnet but it's unlikely you're going to get a peek. She's got sex appeal, spunk, and drips with generous amounts of confidence on and off the stage.

Intro
It's only a good hour before the first show, everyone is rushing around, prepping and unpacking what is left. The Circus plans on staying here in Chicago for a week before moving on to their next stop. In the background, Mr. Robinson can be heard...

Mr. Robinson
"I need you guys to get this together! You are moving all too slow!" He snaps, pounding his cane down on the wooden floor boards. He points to one of his performers, "You! Fix the lights! I can't have my show if the lights aren't right," He voice is sharp, demanding. He darts his hawk like eyes around, carefully observing his performers' every movements.

Rae:: Fortune Teller/Gypsy
Rae rolls her eyes, grabbing a hold of one of the wooden boxes from behind the tent, bringing it inside as she hears Mr. Robinson going off. He needs to stop running his mouth... She thought bitterly, setting the box down before heading back out to get another. She still had yet to set up her own tent and didn't even know who she would be staying with during the week.

Name: Mr. Robinson
Age: 46
Gender: Male
Act: Ring Leader
History: Mr. Robinson grew up in a poor family who traveled place to place, performing magic tricks. Often times, as a young boy, Mr. Robinson would pick-pocket spectators, generally in search of gold. Getting older, he decided to continue on the performance business and run one of the most successful circuses in America.



Name Rachel "Rae" Ophelis
Age 27
Gender Female
Act Fortune Teller
History Rae has only known the circus show business her whole life. Never knowing her father, she lived with her mother who was also a fortune teller, and traveled across the country by train with her mother's group before they went out of business. Taking her abilities, Rae began to look for jobs once she hit 16. In doing so, she had found Mr. Robinson and was one of the first to join his show. Rae hasn't seen her mother since and believes her to either be dead or in a cathouse.

Samara Jewel
She had fixed up her tent and was up in the rafter and swung down on the silk hanging in front of Mr.Robinson
“Lights are done.” She smiled and laughed her braids hanging down underneath her head as she swung back and forth, “Have you seen my net in any of these boxes?” She swung herself around and hung straight so she was right side up with a grin. “I’m so excited to be in Chicago!” She clapped and nearly lost her footing and then laughed

Mayra : Big Cat Tamer : Tags - None.

Mayra got on her jacket, and began gathering the tigers into ring, carrying rings alone with her. She began tapping the hoop, and the tigers jumped through, obeying her finger’s order. A friend that agreed to help with the tigers and lions pulled in the lions, and out the tigers. She occasionally whipped the floor, and the lions leaped up, which she thought may please the audience. The lions jumped through the hoops, then a few thorough a ring of fire. She then finished and waited for her friend to bring Kar. She waited for about an hour, nothing. She walked out, and sat outside the large tent.

Mr. Robinson
A meek smile curled on Mr. Robinson's face, seeing as how the performers were getting ready. Everything was falling into place and he speculated it would be a fantastic show. He clapped his hands steadily, walking through and checking in on everything.
"Splendid, ladies and gentlemen. Splendid," he applauds. Catching sight of Mayra outside of the tent, he followed her out. "Mayra, is everything okay?" He asks, leaning in on his cane. He looks over and sees Edward sharpening his swords.

Rae Ophelis
"Your net is over here," Rae called to Samara, opening up one of the wooden boxes and yanking it out. Ropes had managed to tangle themselves through it's knots. Letting out a groan, she began to untangle the netting. She bit her lip in frustration.

Samara
She smiled and rolled down landing on her feet softly before walking over and sitting in a box to untangle the ropes, “Thanks Ms.Ophelis” She finished her side and walked over to tie one end beneath the silk, she was one of the last acts next to the acrobat but they both needed the net so. She smiled at Rae, “Isn’t it amazing to be in Chicago?” She seemed so excited


Jamie Ann Stevens
From the bar she had been swingin from Jamie dropped in front of Edward and smiled leaning on a box her blonde curls in her eyes, “You excited?” She smiled sweetly as she sat on top of the box pulling one leg straight up in the air to stretch
