The Freak Show OOC
people are strange when you're a stranger...
The wind that blows into town smells like fried dough and kettle corn. In a distant field, skyscrapers of bright bulbs and churning machinery light the sky while tinny music and raucous shouts fill the air around the midway. The carnival's energy is contagious, but this isn't just any carnival that's come to town. This is the Freak Show.

To most patrons of the carnival, it appears to be fairly standard despite its old school flair-- but beneath the surface, the Freak Show is full of secrets. None of its workers have wound up there by accident. Many of them have gifts that simply cannot be explained-- eerie little affinities that have been passed down their family line, whether they are aware of this fact or not. Their talents have strengthened since joining the carnival, their strange skills almost impossible to ignore. They are bruja, rootworkers, strega, sorcières. Witches.

Wanted to apologize for random disappearances! I've gotten wrangled into 12 hour shifts which the last day or two has sucked the soul right out of me. I get home, pass out, get up go to work and pass back out. I had a short shift FINALLY yesterday and couldn't get up the energy to sit at my computer :O I have a couple more days of hell - Friday through Sunday, so hopefully on Monday i'll be back

TRIN ♥

So um... hi! I'm Heather. I'm 24 years old and really tired right now because I just got off work but whatever. Hey. Sup. So anyway. I'm a cashier at W*l-M*rt and I live in a small town in Iowa which sucks big donkey balls. I live with my mum who's having surgery next week to fuse her neck and I live with my five year old autistic brother. It's... fun fucking times. Lemme tell you what. -_- I'm not really used to the present tense writing but I'ma give it my best. On to the part you care about. The characters!

Annie Boleyn (this journal) is a 25 year old queen bitch type. She's the child of two treasure hunters and was born in Cairo, Egypt (though she's not Egyptian), spending most of her life traveling. Joining the carnival just seemed natural. After her parents split, she moved to Trenton, New Jersey and went to college for dance. On that note, she's part of the burlesque troupe and has been since December last year. On stage she's known as Succubus or Demon Woman depending on the day. Does she have a power? Why yes she does. She has the talent of remote viewing - if she has a specific address, she can look into that building with her mind's eye and get details about the layout, the things inside and juicy secrets about the inhabitants.

Oh, one more thing. On the side, she's kind of a prostitute. No, seriously. Sex acts for cash, bb.

Second and finally is Simon Bellamy ([info]simon_b). He was born in NYC to a whore of a mother who eventually abandoned him at a homeless shelter. He went into foster care, ran away, went to another family, ran away again and ended up a waif on the streets. He spent a couple of years on the streets, usually drugged out of his skull until one winter he slipped on a patch of ice on the run and broke his brain. Now he's blind. Sort of. He's always been able to See the timelines whether in the future, past or present. Now it was worse - it was on constantly which allowed him to see the world around him, yes but it also meant he was seeing multiple timelines at once so he was never sure exactly where the chair was or what was going to happen at that moment.

His act is The Last Oracle of Delphi. A patron pays and is allowed one question for which he will give one answer, as true as he can See it (although the future is a wibbly-wobbley timey-wimey thing and can change of course). He truly is descended from the Oracles but of course has no way of knowing that. And truthfully he could give as many answers as he damn well pleases but that would ruin the mystery of the thing. He's been with the carnival since the 7th of June, 2012 so he's rather new to the group.

Personality wise, he's a more serene type and tries to be a neutral party in all things. He does have a vicious temper and drug addiction problems though. Also, he's kinda gay.

So now that that's done, hey hit me up on NemesisKismet for AIM and Gmail. Fuck yeah. Does anyone else REALLY wanna watch Carnivale now? I wonder if it's on Netflix.
