[A circus, it's a real live circus! Allen grins, because it's been so long since he's been to one and he never gets to dream happily about them anymore. Everyone's getting ready for their act, and he wants to join in like when he was a child. That was why he was here, wasn't it? He was a clown after all, he must be here to perform. He's about to go get dressed when he spots a familiar face]

-Helena!

[Helena's talking to some of her fellow circus performers (fortunately the tent is no longer empty), when she hears a voice call out her name.]

Allen? [She makes her way over, juggling clubs in hand, mask pushed up onto the top of her head.] Where's your mask? [You can't perform in the Campbell Family Circus without a mask!]

[Backstage] jesusing_clown September 17 2010, 08:51:26 UTC

It is you. This is your circus? I'm afraid I don't have- [Suddenly a white mask presents itself on Allen's face] ...Never mind, heh.

[Backstage] helena_campbell September 17 2010, 09:03:03 UTC

That's what I thought. [She grins, gesturing vaguely to another clown as she shows Allen out of the tent, and into the lawn.] Did you want to perform? [It's noisier outside the tent, lots of little kids running around and their parents having a hard time finding them in the dark. The neon CIRCUS sign flashes overhead.]

[Backstage] jesusing_clown September 17 2010, 09:04:16 UTC

Mm, I'd like to! Although I don't know any of your circus's routines, what should I do?

[Backstage] helena_campbell September 17 2010, 09:09:54 UTC

It's simple, really. [She wonders if he's just part of her dream. He probably is; after all, it's not like she'd ever been to any places where she could meet someone as strange as Allen.]

You don't have to perform during the actual show. A lot of the clowns just entertain here, at the front, near the ticket booth. It gives people something to do while waiting for the show to start.

[Backstage] jesusing_clown September 17 2010, 09:14:08 UTC

Oh, that sounds easy enough. What will you be doing, Helena?q

[Backstage] helena_campbell September 17 2010, 09:17:56 UTC

Actually, we could juggle. [She shows him the juggling clubs in her hands, which seems to have multiplied enough to work for two people.] That'll be good enough.

[Backstage] jesusing_clown September 17 2010, 09:19:39 UTC

Really? I like that idea, lets put our practice to use.

[Backstage] helena_campbell September 18 2010, 05:12:28 UTC

Right, then. [She pulls her mask down, waves at the crowd to catch their attention and makes a big exaggerated bow before turning to Allen, clubs at the ready.]

[Backstage] jesusing_clown September 21 2010, 09:18:09 UTC

[This is some awesome juggling fun time right here, BE AMAZED CROWD]

[Backstage] helena_campbell September 22 2010, 05:28:28 UTC

[And because this is a dream they're going to break out into applause and burst into tears.]

[Well, maybe not that last part.]

[Although Allen probably can't see it, Helena's grinning behind her mask, feeling good to be out in the circus again.]
