[rowan_staff]

Signs go up announcing a field trip into the city to see the circus. The posters are simple, designed to be taken down and colored in by the students

Horus wanders around the school. Whenever he sees a sign, he writes on it in black magic marker.

CAGING AND BRUTALIZING ANIMALS FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT FOR OVER 100 YEARS!

Merry sees the posters and grabs one off the wall before noting the 'additions'. She runs down to Ash's room. She knocks on his door, and while she waits she looks at the sign, and the added words. I never thought about that... Well not all circus's have animal acts..."

The door opens in a few moments. Ash is dressed in his typical outfit, and on his desk, he has multiple homwork assignments spread out, the small barbells he juggels lying on his bed, and his new used computer glowing in the background. He smiles whe he sees Merry "What's up?" He pulls the door open wider in an unspoken invitation for her to come in.

Merry bounces in handing Ash the sign, "Want to go?" Before Ash can answer Merry gives him I playful kiss.

((OOC: this is before Rita-Anne's fall.))

Rita-Anne wandered through the halls with her nose stuck in her Cantrips book, so she nearly missed the poster. Nearly.

She doubles back and takes a look at it. "It's been half a lifetime since I last went to the circus," she said to herself.

She gets a dreamy look as she remembers when she was eight, and her father, mother, and brother had gone to see the circus. She remembered the clowns who made balloon animals and made her laugh. She remembered the elephant ride. She remembered the lion tamer putting her head inside the lion's mouth. She remembered the jugglers and vendors and the acrobats who seemed to fly effortlessly through the air.

That last thought jolted her back to the present. She had a job to do, and couldn't waste more time wool-gathering! But she did take note of the date, and time, and wondered if Hob would like to see it with her.

"Pfff, a circus. Like I'd want to waste my time on that!" Jasper says as he snags one of Horus's edited posters from the wall.

"Wow, the circus?" Ticklepurr exclaims gleefully when she sees the poster in the dining commons. "That sounds fantastic! I wonder if Alex would like to go. I love watching the trapeze acts..."

Ulf picks up one of the posters, smiling a bit, remembering trips to the circus when he was a kid. "This should be fun," he says as he folds it carefully to tuck into his pocket.
