Tick…. Tick… Tick…. Tick….Tick….Tick.
The large grandfather clock ticked in the dark sleepy house. The world outside, was quite and still. It was almost to still as if the world was holding its breath for something. The sound of crunching gravel was heard as vehicles pulled up to a open space. Figures stepped out of the trucks and the beings pulled out fabric, poles, rope and more. Big burly muscular men started to pull the fabric up to a point as they hammered the rope down with spikes into the ground. As it slowly came together the distinct outline of a circus tent could be seen in the dark.
As dawn hit the newly built fairgrounds were empty and as if nothing walked among its grounds. It seemed almost abandoned, one would never know that beings had set this up the night before, only those who lived in the town knew that this had not been there the evening before. Flyers littered the town walls and some even blew across the streets. As the sleepy town woke to find the circus had come over night.

Mention/Interactions: Elijah @TheQueensGuard , Npc tara, Death and Cloaked figure
"Sky… Sky… earth to Skyla? Hello Skylar you in their." A voice asked and tried to get the detectives attention. Skylar had been off in her own world. She looked over at the person calling her name. "Oh hmm yeah sorry didn't get much sleep, last night what's up?" she asked. The woman was her secretary "I was asking if you saw the flyers." Her secretary said. "Flyers?" she asked. When her secretary nods and hands her the flyer to the Carnival. Skylar sat up and looked it over. "He's back."She whispered. "I am sorry detective what was that, whos back?" the woman asked Skylar. "Nothing no one, Tara get the files of the missing people reports and or Deceased that we keep labeled Carnival." Sky asked the woman.
Once the files were brought, she flipped through them, the Carnival came every three years since she was young. She went looking through the files when Tara brought them to her and found either a kidnapping or Deceased victim. She frowned as she taped faces of missing and murder victims up on the whiteboard and wrote in names and dates. Drawing a arrow to connect things then stepped back. She circled the murders and looked at the wounds. She opened her files in the Carnival that she made about what everyone was in it. She had something the fae liked to call the sight and she knew what everything actually looked like without the Glamour a lot of the creatures were not pretty underneath it all.
Skylar picked up her phone as it rang. "Elijah where are you? It's back in town, meet me at the station it's going to be a long day." She told him. Skylar hung up as she posted the last picture of the 16 year old who disappeared over 3 years ago last time the Carnival came to town. Sky waited for her partner as she hid the profiles on the carnies that pertained to anything supernatural. She had the thin covered up profiles.
As she waited, a darkly cloaked older gentleman walked in and sat down on the other side of her desk. Half jumping out of her skin when she looked up. Her hand went for her gun with supernatural bullets. " relax no need for those, I just want to talk." He said. " Talk all you supernaturals want to do is make deals and contracts. It's never a talk."She said. "Smart hunter, I see the legends about your family and you are true you do have the sight. How interesting." The male continued his voice was like crunching gravel to the ears. "No your right, I want you to sign a contract with me. You help me get rid of Deaths Carnival, I promise you will no longer have to see our kind for what we truly are again and will leave you be for a time being and this town." The male said.
His bone hands slid over a piece of paper. "Who and what are you?"Skylar asked. "Me no one and nothing. Just think of it as a gift."He said. "No Thank you." she said. He nods and hands her a card. It seemed to be blank except for when she moved it from side to side, silver numbers showed and a title The one they call when things go wrong, and things have definitely gone wrong. She thought it odd. She went to look up,but he was gone. Quickly hiding the card and contract in her desk drawer, she locked them up. Her eyes were fixated at where the man had been. Her face pale white drained of even the little bit of color she normally had. One would say it was as if she had seen a ghost.
When her partner arrived finally, she was outside smoking watching the sky and how the sun moved slowly in the sky. "Hey Elijah I am very sorry to have to do this, I got no sleep and I want to be at the Carnival when it starts. I am going to catch a few zzz's the best I can before it does. I have the whiteboard board set up. Connected the things I could. I just need to get out of here. Oh see you tonight at sun down front of the Carnival."She told him and made her way to her black truck. However a vanilla envelope was attached to her windshield. Her name scrawled in fancy lettering. She shook as she grabbed it and opened it. Pulling out a folder, as she opened it she frowned, it had her and Elijah's profile. "Wish for your partner to live, meet me in my tent before the Carnival starts. Welcome Home My Dear Sweet Skylar." at the bottom it was signed death. She breathed in and looked to the precinct. Maybe she should bring the strangers contract and see what death says or can even guess who it was, and what did death want with her now.
She stashed the folder in her truck as she got in to drive to her Plantation. Parking outside her place and turning off the roaring engine, she made her way up to her Plantation home. Once inside she locked the door and looked around the large house it felt oddly creepy even in the day. Jumping as the dogs came running and barking Happily, she smiled and knelt petting each on the head. "Alright enough time for bed." Sky scolded the animals playfully and went for her room. With a sigh she landed in her bed and stared at the ceiling as she fell asleep. Her dreams were weird. Screaming figures, a watery grave, and a finger made of bones. It changed quickly to her laying in bed. She sat up and looked around. Her door was wide open which was odd she had closed it before she went to bed. With a frown she went to it and looked out her bedroom door. "Hello?" She asked her voice sounding oddly hallow. Skylar was confused as she closed the door. She turned and gasped as a hand grabbed her by the throat and slammed her to the bed. She tried to kick and get the hand off, she was looking up into a gnarly gruesome face. A large noise rang and she tried to grab for her phone as it rang, but she was losing air and consciousness. The voice spoke to her. "Wake up Skylar. Wake up." the mouth said. Why would something strangling her want her to wake up.
Skylar woke with a start drenched in sweat as she grabbed her ringing phone. "Hello… huh? Outside?" she asked confused and went to her window moving the curtains. She hung up the phone and held up the one minute finger. She went to change into jeans and a black v neck. Slipping her boots on she walked out her door and down the step. "Mr. Thompson how can I help you?" She asked. "Oh I was just seeing if you could help out at the house tonight." He asked. "Sorry Mr. Thompson I have a case I am working on. I would love to,but not this evening maybe some other time." She said and smiled. " If I get up early enough before work tomorrow I will see what I can do. Have good evening Mr. Thompson." She said. "Oh no, no I understand. Thank you very much." He said and waved. He looked at her "You sure your okay?"He asked. "Yeah. Just got to go get ready." She said and waved as she rushed into the house. She knew that some of her neighbors including Mr. Thompson was into hoodoo and she was always reluctant to help him, that stuff was no joke.
After cleaning herself and dressing in new clothes. She strapped her work gun to her hip and the other went into her boot as a boot gun. Looking at the time she grabbed her phone and wallet. Running out to her truck and hoping in after she made sure her front door was locked and the salt line intact. As she drove the sun started to set and a shudder ran through her entire body. As she finally pulled up to the Carnival parking lot her car was the only one on the street the lot for the Carnival had been packed. She frowned at all the people here. Who would they lose this time. Turning on her truck lights and sirens she pulled up onto the sidewalk near the front of the Carnival. Grabbing her phone she texted her partner. 'Meet you just inside.' as she sent it, her eyes looked around she had a feeling she was being watched, shrugging off the feeling.
Making her way through the line, she stopped at the ticket booth and showed her badge. "Detective Howl I was expected." she told the young girl up front. "Please come right through detective he is waiting for you in the last tent on the right."The girl said. Skylar stopped, the girl looked and sounded oddly familiar. "Do I know you?"She asked her. "Detective, He doesn't like when people are late. GO." The girl growled than turned sweetly to the next customer. Stepping away from the front booth she walked for the tent she been told to go to. Stepping inside, she messaged her partner saying she be a bit late. Looking around the tent she frowned it was empty, odd, he wanted her here.
"DETECTIVE." A boastful male voice came out of the dark. "Come please sit, I am glad my little messengers got you the message I was afraid they would not have." The male voice said and snapped as a table appeared. Skylar sat in the chair at the edge straight backed. " Yes, surprising to myself I even decided to show up. What Would you like to Discuss with me?"She asked. "Down to business, right forgot you like no idle chit chat, I like that about you Detective.Well something has been making my acts disappear." The male said. "Okay?" Skylar asked confused. "I need your help to find it and if you do I will rip up the contract you unknowingly signed with me and you will no longer owe me a thing." He said. "I knew it, you never stopped watching me." She said. "Obviously not. Ever wonder why your still alive?"He asked. "Any way not the point will you do it."He asked. "No." She said. "Here I will give you the night to think about it.. Come back to me at 5 pm tomorrow 24 hours Detective." He said. " and if I don't?" She asked. "Well how do you like the inside of a psych ward Detective, because I will make the spirits make you go crazy and also kill your partner." He said. Standing and helping her up, he kissed her hand as he opened his tent flap. "Have a good evening Detective. Remember 5 pm tomorrow." He told her and with that he pushed her out the opening. She turned rapidly and looked for the tent it was gone she was standing near the entrance. When her name was called she half jumped out of her skin turning to the voice that called her. "Elijah." Her voice full of relief upon seeing him. Whos deal should she take deaths or the other males. The other male had a air that was more powerful than death she didn't want the bargain with the male she wanted her sight, but maybe she could bargain for something else. -
Mentions/Interactions: Elijah @TheQueensGuard, and Skylar
As he shooed the detective out of the tent his eyes glowed a dark green, a dark evil laughter filled the air behind her. Once she was gon Grimm turned back yo his duties and looked down at a old gnarly creature at his feet. "Ludo go make sure everyone is a awake it's time." He said. The gnarled creature bows his head to Death and snaps it fingers making a bubble popping noise. Leaving the air behind it smelling of death, Vanilla and roses. He raised a eyebrow and smirked as He pushed the tent flaps away to go to his trailer to get ready.
Sitting at his table after he was dressed smoking what looked like a cigarette, but was not, it also wasn't weed, but it looked like it. It however smelled interesting and the smoke that came from it was green and purple. Death lifted his head and smirked. " I knew you be back old man." He said. A Cloaked bone like figure stepped from the shadows. "I came to offer the deal again." A gravelly voice spoke in deep tones. " Sorry Old man Not today not tomorrow not in a thousand years." Grimm said. "Why not?" The male asked. "Because no one here ever trust me again, now be gone." Death Growled. With a bow of the cloaked figures head he disappeared into the shadow. Death growled and turned when he heard a New noise. "Ludo everyone ready and up?" He asked. "Yes My lord." The gnarly creature said. "Good time to meet and greet."Death said lifting his eyebrows. With a quick flick of his fingers the creature became a small fluffy dragon creature that sat upon his shoulders. He looked at the creature. "Ludo No biting anyone, remember what happened last time?"He asked and Ludo just growled in response.
Finally stepping out of his tent he walked among the guests and smiled tipping his hat to each. They had games and rides and sideshows, the mains show would start around 2 and end at 4 in the morning. He wouldn't be on stage for a while so he just walk the Carnival and enjoy the sights of his troop and keep and eye on the detectives. He stopped by Chars Caravan and knocked on the door. "Char, You still in here?" He asked with a small smile hoping she was about. -
Mention/Interactions: Dante @Denali
The sun slowly set in the sky Shira pushed her body up her chest rising first. Before her head popped up. Her long flowing red fiery hair. She looked over to where a body lay next to her. "Dante, it's time to get up love."She said and kissed his cheek before slipping from the bed. Flipping her hair over one shoulder she made her way to the bathroom in her Caravan. She showered and walked out in a towel, her flawless pale skin shone under the water droplets. Drying away all the water on her flawless skin. Finally walking out with a towel wrapped around her she poked her head around the corner. "Love the shower is open. Remember bring your violin." She said smiling. Grabbing her clothes she put the towel down and slipped on her red skirt that still looked brand new but was over hundreds of years old. The coins were just as shiny as the day they were put on. Her top was a red corset top with embroidered gold Markings. When Dante was out of the shower and dressed, she asked him to tighten her corset as she put her black lace fingerless gloves that had holes in them. Her feet were bare and she was good with that.
Grabbing her violin, she slowly tuned it and played a few notes. She smiled as she went outside to wait on Dante. She smiled at passersby and started to slowly play. Some stopped to hear the mournful soft tune as her hands smoothly went over the strings. It was, enchanting and more people stopped. She smiled and winked as her hands moved faster over the strings. She was waiting on Dante to join her. When he did she slid down her railing steps and jumped between. The crowd, she played her violin and danced around, her music matched Dantes. She stopped and bowed to the people. They put change in the metal bucket outside her Caravan as she bowed to them in thanks. She hadn't included her fire routine not when she is just walking around a crowd. -
Mentions/Interactions: Maeve @Aka~Kitsune @~Happily.Ever.After~
Greenish blue eyes stared back at a pale figure with large back wings behind her. Her slim form was dressed in a black dress and black heeled boots. She looked like she stepped out of the Victorian era except with the wings. She walked away from the mirror and made her way to the Caravan door and walked out. Nodding to people as she passed, she walked down the dirt pathway to go find her act partner and friend. She made her way to the water holding tank. It was a very very large tank held all the water creatures that the Carnival had.
Flying up to the rocks and sitting on them. She splashed her hand on the water wondering if Maeve would surface. She wasn't sure what to do when the main show didn't start for a while. She sighed at the silent ripple less salt water. Putting her wings away she slipped her boots off. And her dress leaving them on the rocks, she was in in black undergarments and could care less that they got wet. Diving into the water she swam down and swam to the underwater cave. Popping up, she looked around the cave her hair wet. "Psst Maeve Hey where are you?" She asked and looked around. She saw other half water half sea creatures. Swimming to the shelf, she pulled herself out and stood slowly as she walked around barefoot looking for her. She lifted a eyebrow when she found her. "Hey Maeve" she said as she went to sit next to the female Siren. -
Mentions/Interactions: Jazmina @QUEENIE
Stretching and yawning the blue four legged mini Alien stood from his bed in Jazminas Caravan. Hopping off the nightstand straight down onto her bed. With a purr like noise he sat near her face and pawed at her face to wake her up. When she was awake his head tilted and he rubbed his head on hers carefully not to hurt her with his horns. He finally sat on her chest and looked down at her. He was ready for breakfast and the day. Puffle normally always joined her and when she performed he sit on the sidelines and wait. He been with the Carnival since the beginning, but ever since Jazmina joined he become attached to her side. He often be at her side, near, or around her. He was on her shoulder, when she wasn't carrying him or on a pillow. He could walk,but it took to much time and he had a larger monstrous form, but that was his protective state he preferred his smaller state and being carried wherever Jazmina went, some could call him a nuisance, but he was also loved and adored. He did like to play with the Wendigo guardians of the carnival. They were a bundle of fun in his opinion.
Puffle could communicate with Jazmina and he often did so through telepathic communications, but normally he was silent. He only spoke with her and well death, but death could speak Grunchorian. He was surprised that Death could speak Alien languages, but he knew every tongue of all his employees. He knew Latin or Greek for the sirens, He knew Vampiric for the vampires, and werewolf, could speak to fae, He even could speak mogwai. Which impressed him even more. Puffle had learned many languages enough to communicate with Jazmina. When she was finally sitting up in bed Puffle just sat in her lap waiting to be carried to his bowl if food on her counter. -
Mentions/Interactions: Jazmina @QUEENIE Klaus
Elijah woke with a small growl, Ludo had woken him and his brother and he was not really in the mood to be up. He lifted the lid of his black sleek Coffin and slammed his hand down on his brothers Coffin. "Get up man." He said and hopped out. Grabbing a wto blood bags he poured 2 glasses for the both of them and slowly downed the contents of his handed the other glass to Klaus. Death did provide for them and that was nice, he missed his freedom to do as he pleased and not be stuck like the rest of the people here. He and his brother were not a sideshow nor were they something to be amazed watched. Even there death defying Daredevil acts bored them to tears. Death be better than living and eternity with this.
However recently Elijah had been intrigued by Jazmina and they had been trying to work on his issues with relationships. He was char and romantic and he had found some he was sure that he couldn't loose or he hoped. It would be his third love. If that went wrong than love was just hopeless for him and he never try again. Getting dressed in a black button up dress shirt, dress pants and dress shoes. He made his way to see Jazmina he grabbed a flower on the way to see her. It was dead and he used some magic to make it alive again. He knocked on her Caravan door. "Jazmina you up and ready?"He asked. He really liked her and that little creature she had following her. -

Mentions/Interactions: Aurora @TheDevil'sGame
Lazarette slowly sat up in her bed and looked around as she stood. The sun was going down, do to the magic Shakra had placed on her. Walking to the door, she made her way out of her Dollhouse as she called it. She had a tiny doll on her back that she had made and reanimated herself. The doll was always on her shoulder like and little devil. Slipping her sewing needle into her hair as she made her way to find her doll friend the girl was a demon forced to be in the dolls body, she was very intrigued by this. Finding her friends Caravan, she knocked on the rough wooden oak door. "Aurora you in here?"She asked.
As dawn hit the newly built fairgrounds were empty and as if nothing walked among its grounds. It seemed almost abandoned, one would never know that beings had set this up the night before, only those who lived in the town new that this had not been there the evening before. Flyers littered the town walls and some even blew across the streets. As the sleepy town woke to find the circus had come over night.
