At the tent entance this circus performer lures you in with her pleasant smile, the spleandors she tells you will be inside and the mysteries to behold of likes you have never seen before. You'll get your cheap salted popcorn from the man with no spine and be guided to your seat by the faceless girls dressed in diamond patterns and painted smiles. The same splendors as in any circus act. The clown fool rolls around and the acrobats swim through the air. The daring leaps of faith and suspense crackling falls. The elephants, bears and lion tamers all presented by her and brought to you by her. 
She will step out all spotlights glaring down upon her. Her hair suddenly matted and her face dimmed as she declares the main act will begin. For none of their crew have eaten for a long long time and how oh so lovely it was for you to come see their act. You will be in the spotlight tonight. You may try to run and try to scream. If you survive this night you can live on and become one with the crew. 
Pray that you dont.
