"But we were different. We wanted to work here, we wanted to impress people and make the ringmaster proud of us.", Louis argued. Even when they were tired because they talked all night, they bit through the next day and did their best without complaining. The next evening they'd just fall right into bed. "Once they realize the gravity of their situation it's too late and they... can't stay here anymore. Do you ever think about those who aren't here anymore? What happens to them?", Louis asked hi…

"They just need to keep their door shut at night, right? They should go to bed earlier anyway, most of them are way too tired in the mornings and training is impossible..." They'd only hurt themselves because they made mistakes and then... Well they wouldn't be able to perform and that was bad. Discipline... That was all Louis wanted and Josiah sabotaged by being just too nice. It was to their demise in Louis opinion and someone had to be harsh to keep them in line. How was that when they were y…

"Or we let her roam free... Or maybe on a leash?", Louis suggested. If anyone was able to control that snake, it was Josiah, he always loved them and it was kind of on the nose. Well he used them in his performance often enough, so it was good the animals trusted him. They were able to sneak out the fence though anf that was probably a bad thing. Louis looked up again, knowing fully well that Josiah had so manx questions for him, but he couldn't answer any of them. What happened? Why was Louis s…

"She can only eat what finds its way to her.", Louis reminded his friend whom he looked at somewhat puzzled. He wasn't scared of mice, was he? Sure, they were an annoyance and sometimes ate away on their food, but that was it. In the end this guy just wanted to lighten the mood probably. It was funny, when the circus opened his door he was easy to talk to, friendly and the one to tell a joke to a crying child so it cheered up, but right now he couldn't access that person, that side of himself at…

"I wouldn't worry about any robbers...", Louis mumbled. In all these years they never have been mugged before. Some people stole some food here and there but that was about it and it only happened while they were open and it ought to. Louis would have been surprised if there wasn't anything missing every now and then. At the same time Louis visit probably came as a surprise, it was a first since the fire after all. If anyone vitised it was Josiah visiting him, though he rarely was let inside and…

Louis looked at his friend who had opened the door as if he was expecting something horrible on the other side. They stopped sharing a wagon after the fire. Once Louis was all patched up and his wounds healed enough so he could go back to work, he practically moved out. He wondered how Josiah felt, but he never complained. Well, he rarely did complain about anything. "I doubt a robber would knock on your door...", Louis answered, ignoring the comment about him being scared. He wasn't, he was sim…

Louis thought about the children, about what stories Josiah told them and what stories were told to them when they were much younger. They weren't the oldest residents here, there were others that even taught them and still worked, but not many were left. They weren't all replaced by children someone strung along, some performers auditioned and got the job often enough. Compared to how small the circus had been years ago, it grew extensively with more to see and do even outside of the big tent. …

Arthur had picked up Josiahs name before, the children were greeting him and calling his name to show him things they learned from the others. He only sat patiently by, but he didn't mind watching others talk and have fun as a silent observer. He almost felt bad for taking Josiahs time away from all of them. "Nice to meet you too!", he gleefully smiled and was excited by the little bow the older one made. He wondered if someday he could also be a role model to others, like Josiah was to so many.…

Being nice didn't prepare anyone for anything, but Josiah was still the same kid he was years ago, despite being grown up now. Louis left, keeping his comments to himself, the only thing that changed was that he grew up, he wanted to tell Josiah, and his friend kept stuck in a world he no longer should be in. He couldn't run around naively like that anymore and yet he did, bringing children here every other night, wherever he found them all. They trusted him almost instantly, they still did, the…

Louis glared at his former friend for being tapped with a silly hat for no reason. "He doesn't care as long as I do my job and that I do. I have no obligation being nice to some brat, or all of you.", he answered and it was the truth. Whenever they had customers he was the most cheerful person he could be and that person was akin to his former self who adored this circus, everyone in it and everyone who might join in the future. This place was his home after all and everything he knew, but every…

"He's not a customer, so I don't care.", Louis answered bluntly, watching the two of them how they finally entered and closed the gate behind them. It screeched loudly once more, then fell into its lock. It always felt like everything fell incredibly silent once it did and Louis took his gaze off of the two and looked outside. Josiah and him never knew a life outside of these gates, at least none they could remember. When he thought back to the times he could remember, he realized how few people…

Josiah was being smug with Louis and the latter clicked his tongue again. Found him at the tent, huh? He was such an idiot. Louis eyed the boy, he didn't look poor, not like tgr usual lost child that sneaked into the circus without paying, sometimes they were even invited. His clothes looked expensive, not like all of theirs or some street kids and they also looked like they had been recently washed. The boys hair was combed, no knots, no dirt in it, nor on his face or hands - curious, but not r…

haven't you heard? the circus is back in town, complete with all kinds of shows and entertainers! new performers line their ranks and old ones have since left, but what does that matter? the entry fee is too good to be true and all the cheering from the big tent, especially during the later shows at night, is bound to attract attention from all around; strangers flock in from different towns in the countryside, just to see that one particular show again, no matter the cost - no matter how long t…

Name: Louis Age: 20 Height: 177cm anime-rpg-city.de/attachment/40350/Background: Louis lives in the circus as long as he can remember. He isn't sure if he was snatched from the streets, sold by his parents, or born there (though he never saw anyone being pregnant, so he didn't really believe that theory.) He was always eager to impress the ringmaster and started out juggling for the other children that came to visit. Soon he dabbled in other disciplines too, he performed on the ropes, as a mere …

"That's not what I was trying to say. I've survived for over 800 years, carrying you won't suddenly kill me. I know my limits and people like those who are following us, even i I can not recall specific events in my past, the experience is still there.", he tried to explain. Why would either of them worry so much? Mikuni was not worrying about himself enough and Otoha didn't recognize the limitations of her new body, which belonged to a boy that never travelled farther than what he could see fro…

"I won't.", Kosuke made clear, since Gin didn't seem to want to drop the topic. Thus far no one asked the other party anything substantial and while Kosuke didn't tell them what his line of work exactly was, he also never lied to them, he was just never asked. He didn't want to lie to their face and he didn't want to tell them the truth either. He liked it here and he saw no reason to disturb his life here. "I'm not sure your boss would allow his employees to have a relationship with each other,…

Hideyoshi wurde irgendwann ein Tee auf sein Zimmer gebracht, wie so oft brauchte er nicht zu fragen, damit Kanako sich um ihn sorgte. Dieses Mal brachte sie den Tee auch selbst, anstatt diese Aufgabe Miyako zu überlassen. "Danke.", lächelte Hideyoshi der ihr dabei zusah, wie sie alles vor dem kleinen Tisch vor ihm abstellte. "Das Essen ist bald fertig, ich bringe Euch gerne etwas.", bot die junge Frau an und Hideyoshi nickte. "Bring auch etwas für Akihisa. Ich bezweifle, dass er sich noch zu euc…

"Hardly. I mean they are friendly, but they hardly know anything about me and I don't know anything about them either. There is nothing more than smalltalk.", Kosuke explained. He liked the couple, they didn't press him to pay his rent ever, they gifted him things from their shop, but that didn't mean that they were his family or friends. Kosuke lied to them in a sense and he rather kept his distance from them, it was better that way. He lived a dangerous life and even though he was in a positio…

"Ich verbiete dir nicht den Mund, du kannst sagen was du möchtest. Ich werde dich nicht bestrafen.", erwiderte Hideyoshi mit einem Lächeln. Das war nicht wer er war und niemand war gezwungen hier zu bleiben. Akihisa hatte weniger eine Wahl als alle anderen, aber daran konnte selbst er nichts ändern. Wie auch die Shogune war er mächtig, auch wenn er sich niemals als einer von ihnen betrachten würde, aber nachdem er den Fluch gesehen hatte der auf dem jungen Mann lag, fragte er sich, ob die Shogun…
