The rehearsal was breaking down, slowly but surely, everyone was dissipating. Pierrot was still unsatisfied with the amount of time they’d put in especially since several acts were changing. Yet Pierrot trusted his performers, he had to, besides they had yet to ever let him down. There were a lot of strange characters that ran with this “Carnivale” but above all they were talented performers.
Pierrot didn’t understand why this rag tag group was joined by such a unique affliction, or why they all seemed uniquely blessed with such talent either. But it was certain that to Pierrot at least, the trade off was worth it.
Alexis made her way down from the highwire trapeze platform and headed to the catering tent, it wouldn’t be long before everyone was clamoring for breakfast as well.
“Ok everyone, if you feel ready for the show you can go eat and tend to business.” Pierrot announced to the delight of most of the performers. “Remember though, it’ll be your asses on the line once those seats are filled. We’ve got a packed house tonight so bring your “A” game. I'm calling places by Noon. As always we open at 1:30 on the dot.”
Pierrot wished he’d had time for breakfast, there was still another set of risers he’d need to set up if they were going to have room for the throngs of people who he assumed would be buying tickets at the door. Not to mention the issue with Dani’s precious box.
Just as Pierrot was getting truly frustrated with all the responsibilities of being in charge of this madhouse Emily walked by and his jaw hit the dirt. Pierrot remembered when she’d bought that sexy leather outfit (Much at Pierrot’s behest), but she never seemed willing to wear it before an audience. Pierrot smiled the first genuine grin he’d struck all day.
“You look beautiful Emily. George would be proud.” Pierrot was careful not to voice the wicked thoughts of debauchery that were truly in his mind. He knew she wasn’t wearing it for him.
Just then Michaela slid her way down a rope back to the ground. Pierrot made his way over to her.
“Say Michaela…” Pierrot oozed with a lewd grin, “Want to help me set up another row of risers?”
She most likely expected a sexual proposition from him, but truth be told he had a greater need for capable hands than anything warm or wet.
