Now that Arthur was gone, someone else was here and Josiah was left to wonder how many more of them would be crying in each others arms over Leilas death and maybe Lucas' disappearance. It was too much, there was no way of knowing, but they were all wallowing for their own reasons, be that as it may anyway. "He's fine, I'm sorry. I'll let you know next time he's here.", he assured Lucy and rubbed her back gently, as if she needed every piece of love that she could get in that very moment - Jo wo…

Arthur talked, which was nice, and Jo figured if he dozed off now, that would be for the best - he could blame it on fatigue, and Arthur would, in turn, not blame it on him for passing out mid-conversation like that, hopefully, but in reality, there was no way he'd be able to do any of that right now. "Yeah ..." That late indeed. Sure, they could go to bed, but who was to deny Arthur an extra hour of sleep, or maybe even some time alone tomorrow morning if he wanted to be knocked out cold? Not e…

With the little guy here, he could still sleep - Josiah just didn't not want any company, wasn't it that? He felt as if the moment he'd be alone, he'd probably go off his rocker and just be a mess himself, knowing that he could always try to save himself into someone elses arms, but at the cost of being nothing more than a burden to many more than just himself. There was this absolute misery of understanding something that he didn't quite like, or get for that matter. "It's probably around midni…

Jo was done eventually and wiped the paint off altogether - it was useless to him in the first place, he wouldn't perform tonight. What use was it if he occupied a spot others could need? None, absolutely zero, and he'd not force himself onto anyone either, knowing fully well that it would hurt others more to see him as a miserable heap of sadness than if he just forced out a smile. Tonight was absolutely done for; what was it again? Not everything could always go his way, sure, but he felt as i…

There wasn’t any energy left in him, not a lot at least and that which he had, he didn’t want to use to argue with Louis. It was no use anyway - neither of them needed to argue with the other and they could confidently avoid the problem altogether if they simply never argued again. Josiah knew that that was idealistic and unlikely, even in a perfect world, but tonight he wanted the world to be as close to that as it could be, even with how absolutely not alright it all was. Silence was cast betw…

He wanted to be quick with this, simply because he’d spent too much time dallying around already anyway, and he didn’t want Louis to come offer him some sort of help, or others to worry for him more than they already did. Jo was glad to get this over with, to get himself out there and just enjoy the show he’d put on, so it was no real surprise that his face was stark white with paint already, the moment Louis showed up. Just as he was about to dot on the rest of it too, but there was nothing he …

With Louis gone, the table grew silent initially, until Mara actually got up herself and waved James a quick goodbye - she went to all the people that Louis had told her to ask, in hopes of just making this mans job a little easier, but she saved the worst ones for last. Some of them she simply couldn’t understand, hell, she didn’t even want to understand them and they made no efforts to do the same for the rest of them. Oddballs, all of them, and yet the ringmaster kept them around for some rea…

And yet, there was the tinge of worry again - the crestfallen expression that James thought he saw in Louis face for a second, only for it to disappear soon thereafter. Ah, this was unfortunate in all the wrong ways. “If you say so, but if you feel like you can’t bear it anymore, we’re all here for you.”, he assured the younger man - he might be a giant, and at times almost too intimidating for anyone, but James was a kind soul to those who deserved it, or had a need of him. Of course, someone l…

James was eyeing Louis, who looked like he probably could use a pat on the back or some encouraging words - anything to get his mind off of the things he experienced, simply to give him some peace of mind, but he also felt as if he would touch on something incredibly touchy if he, at all, were to force himself and his opinion on the other man, or even just claim that he could help him for the time being. There was nothing to be gained or understood from continued silence, though. "I get it, he's…

Someone breathed life back into the tent as they all continued parts of their conversations with one another, ignoring most of their surroundings as it just so happened that Louis had come by at a rather unfortunate time, it seemed. Be that as it may, none of them were inclined to necessarily believe him and soon, another bowl of food was thrust in front of what would be Louis' designated spot for the morning, simply so he could sit and enjoy an early start. "That's what they all say.", James po…

When Josiah had sat down with the others, the mood was definitely dampened, but nobody tried to let them get to themselves - it seemed as if they were perfectly fine with playing a game of pretend for as long as they could manage to, but Jo soon find out why that was. In the end, Conny sat there, eyes puffy and teary, her face barely able to keep up with the stupity happening around her, but she was being encouraged through her tears in some way, and Josiah was sitting opposite of her, dumbfound…

Josiah was blissfully unaware of all that occured around him at the very moment, if only for the night. Even the soft click of the old lock on his trailers door, as well as the head that peaked in were lost on him in the haze of sleep that had overcome him involuntarily. All of this was going to culminate in something other than what they had planned it to be, and it only got worse the more time went on, wasn't it? Tonight, his dreams were almost restless; he wasn't sure why they disturbed him a…

This was dragging on and Louis was overstaying his welcome by now. Why did she let him in in the first place? To alleviate his pain? Alice couldn't help with any of that, in fact, she felt as if she were intruding somehow, yet still managed to make it count in its own way. There was, hopefully, a way out of here for all of them, at some point, in some capacity, but Louis was going to have to stay behind for now. Was he important? Not necessarily. But none of them were. "Look, I don't know what y…

"It is, I can see it in the way you look at me. The way you're starting to act." Lou was starting to grasp at straws, trying his utmost to help himself to a slice of cake that nobody was really willing to share and in the end, he only got his fingers dirty and the coveted piece decorated nothing but the floor. There wasn't some sort of decorum to be had, and Alice sure as hell wasn't going to ask him to have some decency or manners - he knew better than any other person that this wouldn't work o…

Playing with Louis was much easier than trying to get around convoluted constrains to get him to the truth that he desired, so to speak. Surely, this wasn't the only thing or time he came here for, and yet, it probably was something that he'd have to figure out in the end; Alice could and would only help him so much. "Sentimental, that's unlike you. Is it catching up to you, after all this time?" Alice smiled at him, not sincerely or even comfortingly - they both knew that she wasn't out to actu…

For Louis to come here, that had to mean some sort of desperation, but she didn't feel like judging him anyway. Why, even? Like her, he was a byproduct of some mad mans creation, and someone that could, without a doubt, knock the wind out of other peoples sails. It just happened, from time to time, that she - too - felt like playing with him, knowing that he fit nowhere, like a misshapen puzzle piece that should fit in the last indent, yet, he wouldn't; he was warped and deformed, because that, …

"Talk?", she scoffed at him, demeaning and confused. Why did he, of all people, want to talk to her, right now, here and in this very moment? He never spent time with any of them, but she'd heard he came here now, maybe because he was no longer being stupid, or maybe because he could use a genuine change of pace. Whatever the case, having him so close by was still not the most pleasant of experiences to her, especially when she tried to had keep everyone - and especially Louis - at an arms lengt…

"Why, of course! Couldn't be me, ya know.", Roy told him with a grin on his face, as if he'd simply heard the funniest thing ever. Why would he care if some mere idiots fell to their deaths, disappeared forever, and were whisked away by the ringmaster? Roy had been here for a while, this wasn't his first rodeo and it was no use getting attached to any of these guys - more accurately, he hated most of them anyway, for good reason. They were naive and doe-eyed, stupid and childish at times, and Lo…

As they got comfortable in their respective seats, Roy seemed to be quite glad that he had some more company than just Ruth - she wasn‘t boring, she just got stale and angry easily after a while, and as the two had their own differences, they banded together when need be. Right now for example, when Louis, an outsider, actually stayed with them right here and interfered with the natural order of things, or how they should be. Not that Roy cared, he‘d rather have the half-breed here than elsewher…

Every second he wasted with Roy felt as if he was missing out on something, and every question he asked the guy was just worse than the other. Getting an answer out of this guy felt even worse than talking to Louis at times, it was like pulling teeth, like looking him in the eye and understanding exactly zero of the nonsense he always spouted. "Hey, Jo.", Roy suddenly spoke up, as if he had spaced out for far too long, as if there was something that had needed his attention - it never really did…
