Let's say you decide to run off and join a circus. o: What do you imagine you'd be doing after you got there? Selling snacks so you can sneak them for yourself once in a while? Performing in the spotlight? Working all the buttons and knobs that make performances look flashy? Or would you want to be the ringmaster? Tell us all about it, yo.

There are shitloads of things to do at the circus, so kindly choose the "Something else" option and explain what it would be, should I not include your ideal circus jaerb. :]

Definitely tech support. Out of the spotlight, and plays to my strengths (#physics4eva). What else could I want for my life on the road?

Probably tech support. I actually enjoy piecing things together and fixing issues with equipment.

Clown here, as well. :jester:
 
Human cannonball all damn day.

Everyone knows they get the most chicks. Hazard pay, too.

EDIT: I also vaguely remember this briefly being a roleplay I was in......I think. Or else it's just something I always wanted to rp, lmao.
 
I'd be the person at the ring toss game that convinces you to play and that you can totally win and then rigs the game to help you win or lose depending on how I have seen you behaving before you competed.

Or help you win if you have kids so you can look cool and they get a toy.

I imagine I'd be something along the lines of an acrobat - though one of the lame ones who isn't really that flexible and just done a crapton of flips.
I have years of gymnastics training already, so might as well play to my strengths, right?

(Besides, I haven't been able to take lessons in over a year due to financial issues, and having no real place to perform is driving me nuts. I just hang around outside all day looking like a madwoman while I do flips in the mud and end up falling on my face because the ground is so dang slippy)

Support or something like that. I have issues with people and large groups of them, and even bigger issues with screaming children. And a seriously crippling case of stage fright.

Naw, hauling equipment and crawling around under trailers and fixing shit is more my style. I'm good with animals too, so that's a plus.

If nothing held me back, I'd totally be an acrobat, though. My ass would look gorgeous in a glittery, skin-tight suit.

I'd be a strong man, of course.




Also FUCK YOU @Seiji for taking my joke.

Fortune teller. I'm generally relaxed about most things, so I can deliver any good or scary predictions without making people freak out. Though, it would still be fun to see people's faces if I ever predict their death or meeting their 'destined ones' :P
