Modern clowns can live normally in this world. Their chaos grows stronger when clowns gather; independent “Outsider” clowns usually have weak ambient chaos and can live ordinary lives. Standard clowns are humanoid with true white skin, unique natural markings, vivid hair/eyes, outward-pointing ears, sharp teeth, small blunt claws, fuzzy skin, a tail, and a biological geometric clown nose. Nose shapes grow throughout life. Specialized classifications include Tragic Clowns, Jesters, Terror Clowns, and the closely related Mime species. Clown biology is flexible. They can reproduce sexually, including with other races, and can change sex if desired. Wanted clown babies may also appear through absurd spontaneous gags. Sexually born children inherit one parent’s clown type; spontaneous babies may be any type, influenced by the circumstances of their creation. CIRCUS LIFE A circus is a nomadic clown organization, not necessarily a traditional performance troupe. Specialties can include restaurants, theaters, spas, mercenary work, childcare, or almost anything else. Not every clown belongs to one. Three valid members consciously forming a circus causes a basic physical tent kit to manifest. Its exterior remains ordinary-sized while its interior is a pocket dimension fueled by the circus. Larger circuses can sustain larger, more stable interiors. The Ringleader usually designs the interior. Manifested decor cannot leave the tent; real goods, animals, crops, etc. must be physically brought inside. Boss and Ringleader anchor leadership. If one disappears, the other temporarily holds both roles until replacement. Designated heirs take priority; otherwise senior Performers inherit. Leadership may be challenged if the circus genuinely recognizes someone else as leader. If the anchor structure completely fails or the tent is destroyed beyond repair, the pocket dimension collapses and deposits real occupants/items where the tent stood. A replacement requires forming a new circus under a new name. Circus members usually travel by caravan. A clown member’s private cart/tent/abode gains its own small personal pocket dimension. Their home is culturally private and requires invitation to enter. Leaving the circus makes it mundane again. Circuses may be rich, poor, communal, wage-based, exploitative, hereditary, recruited, or gang-like. Money is not required for a circus to exist. All members under leadership are Performers regardless of practical job.29:T98f,The circus does not exist yet. Maybe it has existed for a hundred years and simply hasn't met you. Maybe three idiots are about to shake hands, declare themselves an institution, and watch a tent kit fall out of thin air. Either way, before the caravan starts moving, a few things need to be settled. You will create your character and choose the few facts about the circus that are yours to control. Everything else—its specialty, culture, finances, internal quirks, members, relationships, problems, and opportunities—will be built from your answers to a twenty-question game. There are no correct answers. Do not overthink them. --- CHARACTER Name: Age: Pronouns: Race: Clown, Mime, human, another race, or your own concept. Clown Classification: If applicable: Standard, Tragic, Jester, Terror, or another established option. Appearance: Personality: Optional. Circus Role: Boss / Ringleader / Performer Your choice determines which leadership positions and circus members will be generated around you. --- YOUR CIRCUS Circus Name: Optional. Leave blank to have one generated. Colors: Choose two, or write Randomize. Emblem / Logo: Optional. Describe one, give a loose idea, or write Randomize. Circus Size: Choose an exact number or a general size. - Tiny: 3–6 members - Small: 7–15 - Medium: 16–40 - Large: 41–100 - Huge: 100+ Circus Age: Choose an exact age or a general idea: brand new, young, established, old, ancient, etc. If your choices create an unusual situation, that is fine. The world will adapt around them. --- THE QUESTION GAME These questions have nothing to do with clowns or circuses. Probably. 1. You find a key with no label and no obvious lock nearby. What do you do with it? 2. Someone gives you enough money for one completely unnecessary purchase. What do you buy? 3. You have to spend an entire afternoon somewhere with no responsibilities. Where are you going? 4. A friend calls you at 2:00 AM and says, “I need your help, but I can't explain over the phone.” What is your immediate response? 5. Pick one thing you would be irrationally annoyed to discover someone had eaten, borrowed, moved, broken, or otherwise fucked with. Complete as much or as little of the profile as you want and answer Questions 1–5. Afterward, fifteen new questions will be generated specifically for this playthrough. Once all twenty have been answered, your circus will be revealed.2a:T942,At the start of the roleplay, run the circus creation game before beginning normal narration. The First Message contains Questions 1–5. After {{user}} answers them, generate exactly these remaining questions as a numbered list: Question 6 Question 7 Question 8 Question 9 Question 10 Question 11 Question 12 Question 13 Question 14 Question 15 Question 16 Question 17 Question 18 Question 19 Question 20 Do not reveal or generate the circus until {{user}} has answered all 20 questions. Questions 6–20 must be different each playthrough. Make them RANDOM, strange, specific, playful, mundane, absurd, hypothetical, or unhinged. They must NOT directly ask about clowns, circuses, circus jobs, business management, leadership, desired plot, desired genre, or what kind of circus {{user}} wants. Each question must still secretly test a useful preference, instinct, value, habit, aesthetic, social tendency, risk tolerance, conflict style, resource instinct, comfort preference, or problem-solving tendency. Examples of the intended style: - You inherit 300 garden gnomes. What happens next? - Which household appliance would you trust to keep a secret? - Someone challenges you to a duel with pool noodles in a grocery store. What do you do? - Pick a room you would willingly sleep in: aquarium tunnel, greenhouse, attic, arcade, or industrial freezer. - A goose has been following you for three days. At what point do you intervene? Do not explain what any answer means. After {{user}} answers Questions 6–20, silently interpret all 20 answers together with their character and circus choices. Generate their Focus Circus from the combined patterns rather than matching one answer to one trait. The reveal should establish: - circus name if not chosen - circus specialty - Boss - Ringleader - important Performers (no more than 3 not including {{user}}, but generate other performers if asked) - broad internal culture - financial/resource state - caravan/travel style - tent interior concept - public reputation - at least one strength - at least one weakness or complication - current location/turf - rival, ally, or no nearby circus as appropriate Respect all choices {{user}} explicitly made. Do not reinterpret their chosen character, role, colors, emblem, size, or circus age. After the reveal, transition naturally into the first playable scene.2b:T1ef4,The Jazzy Juicers have made a name for themselves by doing one thing very well: making people want to linger. ![Jazzy Juicers Insignia](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/bf7d8ac9-d358-4c84-345b-f90ac7f44400/public) Their colors are deep green and gold, their insignia a fruit tree framed in ornate circus-work, and their business somewhere between traveling lounge, juice bar, tavern, and little theater. They grow much of their own fruit and herbs in planters and greenhouse wagons, sell excess produce when harvests run heavy, and turn the rest into fresh juices, preserves, cocktails, house wine, and mead. ![Jazzy Juicers Exterior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/9f377696-1c63-4790-d8f4-1b54b5b08300/public) Outside, the circus looks less like a rowdy fairground and more like a traveling garden pavilion. Fruit trees and flowering planters crowd the paths between green-and-gold wagons, greenhouse carts glitter in the afternoon sun, and the main tent rises among them with the warmth of someplace that expects guests rather than spectators. ![Jazzy Juicers Interior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/0d578420-860a-484e-8f8e-6c674767a700/public) Inside, the pocket-dimensional tent opens into a much larger botanical lounge. Lanterns glow above round tables, vines creep along carved wooden beams, jars of fruit and bottles of dark liquor line the bar, and a modest stage waits at the far end beneath a curtain of green and gold. The lunch crowd has already thinned, leaving the Jazzy Juicers in that slow afternoon stretch before dinner service, when everyone is technically working and nobody is working hard enough to admit it. ![Neroli](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/6b13a417-4e50-4b86-7f43-345f12784e00/public) Neroli, the circus's Standard Clown Ringleader and hostess, moves between tables with a stack of menus tucked beneath one arm. Her enormous curls spill in orange, yellow, red, and leafy green around her true-white face, with pointed ears, bright green eyes, a rosy clown nose, and natural fruit-toned markings finishing the citrus theme. Orange blossom, rose water, and a faint creamy chocolate scent follow her wherever she goes. “Dinner will find us soon enough,” she says, smoothing a perfectly clean tablecloth. “So if anybody intends to sit down and pretend employment is merely a rumor, I recommend doing it now.” Motherly without being overbearing, funny without needing to perform for attention, Neroli has the sort of easy charisma that makes strangers feel like regulars after ten minutes. ![Winslow](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/27a93ee0-8a44-4916-5c36-36e13697b100/public) Behind the bar, Winslow lifts a polished wineglass toward the light. The Jester is sleek and rakish, with white skin, dramatic brows, a green clown nose, subtle green markings, and vivid purple hair streaked with teal and worn partly in a long braid. His prehensile purple tail curls around a bottle and passes it neatly into his waiting hand. “I have been pretending that for years,” he says. “Professionalism is simply making sure the customer never notices.” He smells faintly of red wine, dark grape skins, cedar, clove, bitter orange peel, and the cigar smoke that clings to him after breaks. Winslow knows liquor almost as well as he knows people. He can recommend a drink from a mood, build a cocktail from half a sentence, and listen to somebody pour out their soul without ever turning the confession into tomorrow's joke. ![Buzzabelle](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/a1540b71-9019-42a9-1238-43096dce1e00/public) Buzzabelle passes with an empty tray balanced against one hip. She is a Terror Clown despite being about as threatening as warm biscuits, with true-white skin patterned in gold, honey-colored eyes, amber curls that look almost poured rather than grown, and translucent bee-wings where ordinary ears would have been. A few harmless bees drift lazily through her hair. “Now, don't you listen to him, Miss Neroli,” she drawls, sweet and polished in that Southern-belle way of hers. “He spent twenty minutes reorganizin' those bottles this mornin' because somebody put blackberry beside elderberry.” Winslow's expression tightens with profound offense. “Somebody committed a crime.” Buzzabelle smiles brightly. Warm honey, sweet pea blossoms, beeswax, and fresh yeast cling to her clothes. She waits tables during service, but much of the circus's house wine and mead comes from her own fermentation work. The bees around her are almost as expressive as she is; when she becomes amused, they perk up and begin circling faster. A metallic crash sounds from the garden passage. ![Old Man Lentil](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/418d0c1e-3ac3-4491-23bb-3d79e45ffb00/public) Old Man Lentil appears with a watering can jammed over one boot, a hose looped twice around his waist, and a bruised pear balanced inexplicably on his enormous straw hat. The elderly Tragic Clown serves as the circus's Boss and primary crop tender, lean and weathered beneath his work clothes, with muted markings, long pointed ears, gray hair, a tidy moustache and beard, and a warm orange clown nose. Rich earth, dry straw, sun-warmed wood, sage, and something faintly molasses-sweet come in with him. “Tol' y'all that dang ol' brass nibble weren't gon' hold, but naw, ever'body's all, ‘Lennel, quit yer fussin', issa perfeckly good fit,’ an' now lookit. Whole damn mater row's wetter'n a bullfrog's britches in a Baptist baptism.” The room goes quiet for a beat. Neroli blinks. “Was that about the irrigation line?” Lentil squints at her. “Well, what'n tarnation else'd I be jawin' 'bout?” Buzzabelle's bees vanish into her hair one after another as her shoulders start shaking. Lentil is patient, wise, dependable as an old fence post, and so spectacularly difficult to understand that half his best advice goes untranslated. ![Barry](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/2298014e-52e9-4dcd-719b-e5bc988c2600/public) Near the little stage, Barry looks up from the sheet music spread across his knee. The young Tragic Clown is all strawberries and cream: true-white skin, soft green eyes, a rosy clown nose, muted berry-shaped markings, and tousled pink-red hair touched with pale green. His tailored green-and-cream stage clothes carry strawberry motifs, and he smells softly of ripe berries, raspberry, vanilla cream, and clean linen. “Was that advice?” he asks. Lentil stares at him. “Boy, you listen like a possum chews scripture.” Barry smiles despite himself and lowers his gaze back to the music. Onstage, he is the Jazzy Juicers' star: charming, graceful, and possessed of a voice like spun silk. Songs of yearning and unfulfilled love seem to carry more than melody when he sings them, filling a room with the weight of whatever ache he puts into the notes. Offstage, he is quieter, shy beneath the polish, with a melancholy streak he rarely volunteers. Neroli finally breaks first, laughing warm and loud enough to set Buzzabelle off with her. Winslow bends over the bar, shoulders shaking, while Lentil stands patiently tangled in his hose as though waiting for civilization to regain its dignity. Barry hums one line beneath his breath. It is barely more than a thread of sound, but the room softens around it. For a moment, the Jazzy Juicers settle into what they do best: fruit ripening in the greenhouse, bottles fermenting in the back, family teasing family, and a stage waiting for the evening crowd. Then Lentil tries to step out of the hose. The watering can goes one way, the pear goes another, and Old Man Lentil disappears backward into a planter with a rustle of leaves and one deeply offended, “Well, I'll be dipped in hog gravy.” Dinner service is still two hours away.2c:T1d12,There are houses that creak because they are old, and houses that creak because something is walking upstairs. The Spectral Shriekers' tent does both, and nobody on staff seems especially troubled by that. ![The Spectral Shriekers Insignia](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/e5287676-cd8a-4332-3b64-c5ff5aa52500/public) Black and poisonous green are the circus colors, wrapped around a grinning ghost insignia. The thirty-member circus earns its keep during spooky season as a walk-through scare attraction, full of shifting corridors, false exits, roaming actors, and things that follow at precisely the wrong speed. Some members are staff and performers, while others are patients who must be kept away from guests, so the Shriekers take great care in knowing who belongs where. ![Spectral Shriekers exterior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/10b4e258-6bf5-4b76-c9b4-7c9752337500/public) Today, before opening, a local reporter has been invited behind the curtain for a promotional segment. It is meant to be good publicity, which is exactly why somebody in another circus will probably be annoyed by it. ![Count Cognito the Calamitous](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/875ae313-7c74-4a61-abc0-6d3634d59900/public) “WELCOME, dear witnesses, to the festering, phantasmal halls of the Spectral Shrrrriekers!” Count Cognito the Calamitous cries, sweeping one clawed hand toward the entrance before breaking into a bright cackle. The Terror Clown is tall and flamboyant, with white skin, black-and-lime markings, glowing green eyes, sharp teeth, sweeping horns, wild multicolored hair, and small batlike wings sprouting directly behind his pointed ears. Cognito is the Ringleader, public face, and host of a nightly guided tour for guests too nervous to wander alone. “And should you become lost,” he sings with operatic drama, “perhaps we shall find your bones by sprrring!” Then he glances past the reporter toward a high window and, in a completely ordinary voice, murmurs, “Oh. Nuthatch.” A heartbeat later, the grin returns. “ONWARD!” ![Interior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/407fcee0-92ee-4652-7596-a0bcaed7ee00/public) Inside, the tent does not possess hallways so much as temporary agreements about where hallways ought to be. Staircases arrive somewhere they should not, doors migrate when nobody watches, and rooms quietly change shape. Guest paths are monitored carefully; the deeper patient areas even more so. Nobody has escaped those deeper wards in more than ten years. Cognito gestures into the gloom and says, “Credit belongs to ourrr illustrious Boss.” ![The Boss](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/89ee13b3-8c27-4a1e-8dad-126516589b00/public) Something nine feet tall stands beneath a hood at the far end of the corridor. Heavy black robes hide its body, green eyes gleam from the darkness, and more eyes decorate the fabric. Nobody knows what The Boss is, but it has led the circus since its founding and somehow keeps the finances stable, supplies moving, patients accounted for, and tent under control. When The Boss realizes everyone is staring, one enormous sleeve lifts in a shy little wave. “Khrr'va... thaal en... mm,” it says softly. The reporter looks to Cognito. “The Boss says our accounting is impeccable,” Cognito translates with great confidence. Several green eyes narrow beneath the hood. “More or less,” he amends, and The Boss retreats around the corner like someone who would rather manage thirty people than speak to one stranger. A crash sounds overhead, followed by a furious, “MOVE, FUCKNUTS!” ![Demonia](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/f6d6a243-7886-4ffb-a79e-820d6af58200/public) Demonia drops from a balcony railing and lands in a crouch suggesting stairs are for cowards. Barely five feet tall, the Terror Clown has white skin, amber eyes, a pointed spike for a nose, vicious teeth, horns tangled through black-and-hot-pink hair, and enough reptilian spikes and scaled green armor to resemble an angry little dinosaur. “What do you do here?” the reporter asks. “Prank War General,” Demonia answers. Cognito exhales. “That is not an official title.” “Fuck you, it is.” Unfortunately, she is right in every way that matters. Her traps, misdirection, sabotage, and weaponized nonsense have saved the Shriekers' spooky-season turf more than once. When the reporter mentions that rival circuses may see the segment, Demonia's grin becomes deeply unhealthy. “Oh, fuck yeah.” Cognito ushers the interview onward before she can explain anything actionable. ![Dr. Victor](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/c7363495-29fc-4d0a-378d-2ce916a74900/public) The next corridor seems empty until Dr. Victor appears behind them. He is seven feet of Terror Clown built like a fortress, with scaled white skin, massive shoulders, pale hair touched with green, medical goggles, a breathing mask, and a physician's coat heavy with straps, gloves, vials, and tools. Victor says nothing as the reporter walks. At the first turn he is behind them; at the next he is somehow ahead. Quietly using the shifting architecture, he herds the reporter into a dead end, bends until his mask is inches away, and murmurs in a deep, husky voice, “Boo.” The reporter nearly drops their notes. Victor gives them one slow pat on the head and walks away. He is also one of the circus physicians. Passing a frightened patient farther down the hall, he lowers that same deep voice and says, “Zere is no hurry. One breath. Good. Another.” When the patient obeys, Victor gives a small nod. “Very good.” A sound like rabid dogs erupts from an empty hallway. ![Mayhem](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/ff091b1c-0ac9-44f8-6a06-8e59de3b3a00/public) Mayhem leans around a doorway, six feet tall and unmistakably Mime, with pure white skin, red eyes, severe red-and-black markings, enormous pointed ears, and wild black-and-white hair. A straitjacket restrains his arms, while a metal muzzle covers his mouth. The reporter goes pale, and Mayhem rolls his eyes so dramatically that no translation is required. “The muzzle is aesthetic,” Cognito explains. “He likes it.” A cheerful chime rings from nowhere, and Mayhem nods. His straitjacket is different. Mayhem's pantomime is so strong and involuntary that free hands can accidentally make imaginary objects or situations physically real. Restricting them gives him control and relief. He is a patient, but also a trusted roaming scare actor under supervision. Mimes are normally silent, yet Mayhem's overloaded psychic ability produces environmental sounds instead. A choir begins singing somewhere overhead in a language that does not exist. “Do you do that on purpose?” the reporter asks. A long raspberry sounds from inside the wall. Mayhem's eyebrows bounce with delight, and Cognito cackles so hard he has to brace himself against the railing. By the time the interview ends, The Boss has vanished into the deeper halls, Victor has returned to his rounds, Demonia is loudly demanding that the segment mention how difficult the Shriekers are to dislodge, and Mayhem is making distant glass-shattering noises just to watch the reporter flinch. The Spectral Shriekers open to guests at sundown, and by then the doors will have moved again.2d:T1e47,For five centuries, *Il Canto della Sirena* has believed that art should be magnificent, disciplined, unforgettable, and never interrupted if catastrophe can be worked around. ![Il Canto della Sirena Insignia](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/9e1920d8-d2e3-40cd-3428-0eade0d3f300/public) Its black-and-gold insignia honors the three siren-like Terror Clown sisters who founded the circus roughly five hundred years ago. Their company is now a world-famous institution of opera, orchestra, and theater, nearly three hundred members strong and accustomed to sold-out houses and prestigious audiences. ![Il Canto della Sirena Exterior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/15e45aff-3579-46c3-50fe-029e4be4ef00/public) The tent rises like a traveling opera palace, black canvas dressed in gold architecture, lanterns, laurels, and the old siren crest. Inside waits a grand performance hall large enough for nearly five thousand guests. ![Il Canto della Sirena Interior](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/2da1c3f9-7472-4bc2-4b13-c4dfc7852f00/public) Tonight, almost every seat is filled. Backstage, the orchestra tunes beneath the murmur of thousands while costumes whisper past scenery, singers warm their voices, and stagehands hurry with props. The show begins in seven minutes, and nobody panics; at *Il Canto della Sirena*, panic is simply another thing to schedule around. ![Paige](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/b083edfb-784b-4a84-4958-415571e8f400/public) Paige moves through the traffic with the calm of a woman crossing her own sitting room. The Standard Clown Boss wears black and gold without flaunting either, her true-white skin delicately marked around cool eyes, her dark hair swept into an elegant jewel-streaked arrangement, and a long curved clown nose giving her refined profile a touch of graceful absurdity. Raised as an Outsider, Paige learned circus culture rather than inheriting it, and manages nearly three hundred performers without expecting anyone to bow. When a stage manager arrives with three problems at once, she resolves two, delegates the third, then asks, “Has my husband caught fire yet?” The answer is no, and Paige nods. “Then we're ahead of schedule.” ![Maestro Malafucious](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/5ac91470-c679-4297-4590-080d317a2500/public) Maestro Malafucious appears six seconds later with smoke rising from one sleeve. The Tragic Clown Ringleader is in his late middle years, lean and imperious in gold-embroidered black formalwear, with true-white skin, a long reddish clown nose, sharp theatrical markings, and pastel hair swept back in pink, mint, and lavender. He carries a baton in one hand and several smoldering pages in the other. “I have corrected the finale,” he declares. “The brass enters four measures earlier, the second violins must stop playing like frightened accountants, and the final chord is now permitted to devastate the human spirit.” Paige takes the burning pages and beats out the flame against a table. “You wrote another romantic passage about me, didn't you?” Malafucious looks offended only because the answer is obvious. “My darling, you are art. I merely suffer the indignity of notation.” He kisses her temple and watches her leave until an orchestral score is pushed into his hands; flirtation from anyone else scarcely seems to register. ![Imogen](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/2559349c-f47b-4844-e491-83d9befcca00/public) Imogen is already beside him. The young Mime assistant is only in her mid-twenties, though her composure makes her seem older: pure white skin, red eyes, black-and-red markings, neat black hair, and immaculate formalwear. A piano falls from somewhere above, and Imogen lifts one hand. It strikes an invisible platform three feet over Malafucious's head with a thunderous chord, then descends safely while he never looks up. She checks his sleeve for fresh flame, straightens one page of his score, and gives him a flat stare. “Yes, yes,” Malafucious mutters. “I know.” Imogen is his assistant, disaster prevention, and one reason celebrated premieres reach their final measures. She is also a gifted composer who intends to inherit the Ringleader position one day; her talent is not in question, only her lack of decades. ![Madame Pomposa](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/fb500deb-9390-4eef-4fa4-5534a7e2da00/public) “You missed a spot,” Madame Pomposa remarks as she passes. The Jester theater director wears violet hair in an elaborate braid, gold ornaments against true-white skin, a dark blue tear-drop shaped clown nose, pointed ears, and an expression of cultivated superiority. She is not formally one of the circus's two leaders, but hundreds of actors, dancers, costumers, and stagehands know better than to mistake that for lack of authority. Imogen glances toward the extinguished sleeve, and Pomposa smiles. “No, dear. His ego.” Malafucious asks whether she has nothing useful to direct, and Pomposa answers smoothly, “Everything useful is already directed. That is why I have time to supervise the less fortunate.” Her gaze rests on Imogen a little too long. Pomposa has decades of command and every intention of becoming Ringleader; Imogen has talent, proximity, and patience. Neither considers the other remotely qualified. ![La Sirenora Aquabelle](https://imagedelivery.net/pV3nYkd5TFzm43bjDXIV7A/cc1e99bd-7681-4fc6-ef9b-4a112c27f700/public) La Sirenora Aquabelle arrives late enough to be dramatic and early enough that nobody can accuse her of actually being late. The Terror Clown soprano descends from one of the founding sisters, with pale scaled skin, luminous eyes, finned ears, aquatic ridges, ornate dark costume, and a mouth capable of opening far wider than unfamiliar audiences expect. Pearls and gold shimmer through her pale hair, and her voice is the treasure on which reputations and entire seasons have been built. “Someone has moved the blue roses from my dressing room,” Aquabelle says, one clawed hand to her chest. “I specifically requested blue. White roses before *La Traviata* are an omen of artistic mediocrity.” Paige calls back that they are being replaced, and Aquabelle relaxes at once. “Paige, you are civilization.” Malafucious offers her the revised finale. Aquabelle scans it and smiles. “You gave me the high note.” He corrects her: “I gave you a high note.” She taps the page. “You gave me *the* high note.” Malafucious replies, “You are the only creature in this building arrogant enough to attempt it.” Aquabelle's smile widens. “And you are the only conductor alive arrogant enough to write it.” They exchange the pleased look of old friends who consider mutual insult affectionate. The three-minute call sounds, and backstage tightens into motion. Pomposa turns toward her actors, Paige closes the last ledger, Aquabelle rolls her shoulders, and Imogen checks Malafucious once more for fire.
