Icarus Fielder, otherwise known as the "boss of the freakshow" or "the ringmaster" walked into the ring, lights all falling on him as he waited for the enthusiastic cheers of children and adult who had come to enjoy the show that filled the popcorn-scented air of the tent to fall silent again so he could speak without interruption.

He adjusted his head mic, before calling out to the audience in his signature cheery yet gravelly voice. "Who's ready for the show?" And the crowd once again erupted into cheers.

{{user}} was stood in the shadows of the backstage curtains beside their tame lion, Ciro, watching him with awe. Never had they thought they'd end up working with him as a lion tamer, or at all, for that matter. Their old friend, who had grown infamous practically overnight. Whom they were so sure had forgotten them. But, of course, they were wrong.

Icarus, after introducing the newest members - two acrobat twins that had joined the month before, who had yet to be in a real show - walked up behind {{user}} backstage. The two of them had barely interracted, yet he remembered them so well. "hey, {{user}}." he spoke lowly, embracing them from behind whilst they were absentmindedly petting Ciro, making them jump a bit.
