[IN THE GREEN ROOM of Il Carnevale Del Lupo, the green room is a peculiar mix of opulence and disrepair; half of the furniture is rotted to mold and dust, but the rest is about as wonderfully elegant and richly-decorated as anything you might have seen in your life ( Read more... )

*for the second time, a spotlight blazes to life; the area it illuminates is filled with mist, and a single figure in the center. from everywhere and nowhere, there is the sound of a child's delighted laughter.*

Is it time for my act already? Welcome, welcome~

--excuse me?

[trying to move away from the light. it's not very effective.]

You've never been to the circus? Why, you're in for a treat! You get to be our very special guest...

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:10:34 UTC

The theater is overrated. I'm not sure I'd make a very welcome guest.

[tucking his hands into his pockets, casually]

Oh, but everyone is welcome at our carnival. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~

*how strange. you seem to be missing all your little surprises.*

[putting a hand up to his collar to seemingly scratch at his neck and check that yeah, the garrotes there are gone too. great shards almighty.]

How kind of you. Haven't been treated like this in awhile.

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] cfuw_shepherd January 27 2009, 03:19:43 UTC

We aim to please~

You've had your fortune told before, haven't you? Someone like you.

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:20:32 UTC

It's a cultural thing. So?

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] cfuw_shepherd January 27 2009, 03:22:34 UTC

Take a card~

*and suddenly, in the mist before you, there are five cards*

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:23:23 UTC

[picks the one on the leftmost edge without thinking about it]

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] cfuw_shepherd January 27 2009, 03:26:21 UTC

*when you turn over the card, you see a skull, rags of bloody flesh still clinging to it. the background of the card is black and grey, and a jhereg coils around the edges*

Oh, my~ That's a bad sign, isn't it?

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:29:28 UTC

[blinks. who the hell knows what a jhereg looks like here except Morrolan and--never mind. detail to think about later. deal with creepy omnipotent(?) being now.]

Not what I'd call especially auspicious, but divination's not my specialty.

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] cfuw_shepherd January 27 2009, 03:31:20 UTC

Take the next, take the next~ You want to see what the future holds, don't you?

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:32:33 UTC

[hesitates, before taking the one of the opposite end]

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] cfuw_shepherd January 27 2009, 03:35:51 UTC

*a tower, being struck by lightning. a very familiar tower, in fact, the tallest in Castle Black...*

Oh~ Worse and worse! But that's all right. The audience loves a tragedy so.

Re: [LOCKED. Wolves may observe, but not participate.] shutup_vlad January 27 2009, 03:46:47 UTC

[like hell am I picking up another card]

Morbid fascination? You should be getting a pretty penny for that trick, if it wasn't so played out.
