roxie barringer doesn't turn on the red light ([info]tightwire) wrote in [info]gooseberry,

Apparently, I have deeply shamed our (questionably) good family name by having only ever invited friends back home when it's the holidays and we have the Big Top broken down.

My mother insists that we put on an utterly poor show of it - and, furthermore, that it's completely ridiculous for someone who lives in a traveling show to have friends that have never even been to a real circus before. And while I can't exactly argue with her, I honestly hadn't really thought too much about it.

So consider Gooseberry informally invited to Nox during Spring Break.

And free funnel cake. Ibu said to add that.

Do you guys perform in the summer?

All year round, generally.

Not that we don't take breaks. Just - you don't want to miss out on high traffic periods.

I've always wanted to run away and join the circus, but I have plans! Everyone else should totally go, though!

Doors are always open other times.

Especially to runaways. That's how we get all our best people.

I'm pretty sure my uncle said we're going to be setting up in Tennessee most of this year.

Uggghh, I wanna go but I'm going to a celebrity wedding during spring break instead. It's a three day wedding. THREE WHOLE DAYS (of luxury).

I can probably hit it up at the start of break if there's free funnel cake.

Ooh, fancy. What does a person do with three days of luxury, exactly? My sister had two receptions? But that's mostly because her in-laws are still mildly terrified of us. So we had a nice, normal wedding the first day.

And Ibu can always change it to a more convenient date for everyone, if need be. Tents are up most of the year.

I'll go.

Magic circuses are probably really different from the ones I know.

You're extra welcome. My mother feels the need to make it up to you and Sy for getting the half-ass circus treatment.

Are the animals treated better at your circus than they are at the Muggle circuses?

I've only been to a no-maj circus once or twice, and we weren't exactly allowed backstage. But I don't think my aunt would stand for anything less.

She's fully licensed. And she never makes them do anything she wouldn't do herself.

You can have as much funnel cake as you like.

Bet you'd clean up on the confidence games.

Aw, and here I thought you'd actually done something disappointing. Too bad, 'cause I love a good family shaming.

My mother was doing a pretty accurate impression of disappointment. But I'll be sure to try harder next time.

It's a carnival food - fried dough and powdered sugar. Kind of like a strung-out doughnut?
