Welcome to the Big Top!
Clouds float in a blue sky, sunset paints them in rainbow hues, and twilight darkens to night.
The moon rises over a gaudy circus tent in stripes of red, yellow and blue.

It's a genuine big top tent, with three rings, tiers and tiers of bleachers, comfortable loge seating at ringside for the hoi polloy, the light and sound systems rigged and ready for a show, everything looking like a working circus down to the peanut shells in the dust, and up to the tip top of the big top, where the ropes for trapezes and nets swing from a field of black canvas studded with stars and at the very peak, a big full moon.

Within the big top there's a babble of voices. The house lights are bright, but the ring itself is entirely dark. Vendors are selling popcorn, peanuts, lemonade and souvenir programs.

A calliope begins to play the Cirque de la Lune opening theme.

The house lights dim.

Soon, the show will begin!

The tent is dark... then a moon seems to rise within the big top.

Silhouetted against the moon is a figure on a trapeze, which lowers, until she's lit in a bright spotlight.

"Welcome, welcome, one and all, to the Greatest Show on Gaia. I am your ringleader, Paloma Piés del Cala."

We open tomorrow! Wow!

Everyone at the Cirque is very busy rehearsing, grooming the horses, polishing the cannon, setting the lights up and making sure we're ready to give you a fabulous show.

You enter the Cirque grounds and approach the big tent. A shy-looking kid with purple hair hands you a program. Overcoming his shyness for his big public moment, he calls out,

"Welcome, everybody! Would you like some peanuts, popcorn, lemonade or hot cocoa? Help yourself to refreshments, and have a seat in the grandstands. The show is about to begin!"

((We will play here all this week, Dec. 1-8.))

While the audience was being seated, roustabouts were making certain that all the equipment was securely in place. The trapezes and other aerial equipment were all tested and ready. The lights were gelled, the cannon was primed.

Big Bill Barnham, the head roustabout, checked in ia headsets with the ringleader Paloma and the tech Jade. "Everything's ready to go."

"Thanks, Bill," Paloma murmured into her mic.

"Ready with Kibble's light cues?" Paloma asked Jade, and when the tech gave her the affirmative, the ringleader called out to the audience once again,

"Welcome to Cirque de la Lune. "

As her trapeze lowered her to the circus ring's floor, the full moon seemed to rise above the crowd, into the starlit roof of the tent. Standing below it, a spotlight lighting her as if she stood in the light of the moon, Paloma continued,

"Ah, the full moon. La lune. The full moon lights the paths of lovers, and calls the fairy folk out to dance on the green. But the full moon also calls the untamed beast out from within us, maddens the vampire, sets the werewolf howling..."

She paused, and a mist rose around her. "What will the light of the full moon reveal tonight?" she asked, and disappeared in the thickening fog.

But from the sound system, her voice rang out all around, in a pixie-ish laugh, as fairy lights twinkled and colored beams danced everywhere--- "Please welcome Miss Abby-Kibble!"

The tent went dark then... and...

Feeling vaguely and uncharachteristicly nervous, Kibble flipped out as a blaze of flame-colored lights ignited around her. Her costume matched the lighting, it was bright orange and she had braided red ribbons into her short hair.
Taking a deep breath, Abby-Kibble slowly lowered herself to the floor. Abby-Kibble brought her right leg slowly up round her neck - or she tried to. Her heel smaked painfully against her spine, making her wince slightly. "Oh...drat..." she breathed as her foot slid up her back to rest on her left shoulder. It stuck there, wedged between her head and her shoulder. As a last resort, she curled into a ball, and rolled around the ring until she became dislodged. It looked pretty impressive, anyway, Kibble thought, as she took a bow and backflipped away.

Backstage, Paloma hissed in a whisper to anyone who would listen, "Alright, who's on next?"

She tried to sneak a peak at the grandstands, but she couldn't see the audience because of the glare of lights in the ring.

"Anyone got a feel for this audience?" she asked the performers. "It's awfully quiet out there."

((All are welcome to post as audience! Come on and play! Are you here with your family, with a date, hoping to run away and join the circus, afraid of clowns, eating too much popcorn, applauding wildly, what?))

Shy little LJ was kept busy serving refreshments, but when he heard Paloma announce Kibble he slipped away from the refreshment stand and watched.

It was amazing to see how bendy that Kibble girl was. She was so pretty, and then she tumbled around like a funny wind up toy. LJ didn't know whether to say "oooooh, aaahhhh," or to laugh. So he did both.
