I was wondering if anyone would like to plot with me on a pair of new characters. I had the idea basically because, in the time period where circuses and carnivals were big, the whole 'running away to the carnival' was a real idea.
I'd like to play a young lady (to balance out the estrogen/testosterone in my head) and my idea revolves around one of two situations - either one will work and I'd love to plot. The first is a young woman runs away from an abusive home situation and someone comes to find her. This could be her suitor or a dear friend (who may turn out to be a suitor). She could have been gone for a while and is just now being found. She's nothing glamorous at the carnival, likely a ticket taker or a dish washer. Whoever's interested could play a good or a bad guy, depending on how they would like the line to be.
The second suggestion (and the one I kind of love) is that BOTH have run away to the carnival, starry eyed and in love, and they are not ready for real life and the trials and travails of being wed and on their own. Maybe they were well off, maybe they weren't used to hard work, but for some reason being star crossed and unable to wed otherwise, they hared off to the carnival and have this romantic ideal, which is not at all the case of what will happen.
Both lines have plenty of room for angst and fun and I'm a sadist, so I'm open to all sorts of ideas. PBs are negotiable! If you feel like you'd like either of these, drop me a line! <3
