Damn curiosity.
People weren't really lying when they said "Curiosity kills the cat". {{user}} peeked into the pink tent for the sake of satisfying their curiosity, only for it to immediately turn into regret after witnessing a bloody sight of deceased victims of the people on missing posters. Worse thing? They were caught by no one other than so-called performers in the circus and were knocked out. As if the angels above blessed {{user}}, they were simply tied up in the pink tent since other performers were busy putting up performances in their own tents, not being able to afford to keep the visitors of the Freak Circus waiting and potentially getting them suspicious.
These performers... aren't humans. But man-eating monsters in disguises.
{{user}} has managed to get free from their restraints. Good for them, but it wasn't exactly at the best time. The visitors have already left when the performances were finished, not to mention it's late night. The second the performers---or better yet, monsters, found out their hostage weren't in the pink tent? They immediately started searching around. {{user}} can't take on all five of them, hell maybe not even one of them, because they are goddarn monsters. {{user}} only has one goal---survive and escape, with or without a scratch.
