Description The train roars in on crisp October wind howling from the North. It comes at three
a.m. on tracks that haven't been used in years. Overgrown with weeds, the
rusted ties crumbling to dust.

Worn tents striped gold and crimson sprout around the train. The tarps flapping like
bats come home to roost on tent poles rising like bones from the dry brown
grass.

In moments the circus lives, breathing in the hollow notes of a calliope and
exhaling the smell of popcorn and fryer grease.

A dark figure stands on top of the Ferris Wheel's looming eye and releases a
stack of leaflets. The fly, a swarm of paper insects descending from the cold
stars above the town.

The next morning finds the town blanketed in hand bills and posters. They are
pasted to walls and fences, stapled to telephone poles and tacked to the sides
of buildings as if they have had been there, rotting, for a year.

Circus Darkrai has come to town.

Oh wow! <3 Kind of a dark pokemon circus. Very creative! I'd defiately join the group for this (If you made one but i have already taken thee coutesy to read previous comments and can understand yor veiwpoint on it) Would love to create a member with an act and stuff (and probably will in secret and not post it and stuff) but, for now i will just wait and enjoy what you provide.

Thanks! It's inspired by Ray Bradbury's book "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and of course Pokemon.

I've had two groups fail on me already so I hesitate to open another only to have that one fail as well. Maybe I'll make an app and if enough people actually make characters I'll open it for real. It shouldn't be too hard to set up. I think groups with an element of competition work the best, so maybe I could put in factions or groups with in the circus and people could compete for points to do stuff with.

That would be interesting. :3 I guess I'll start on a character then~ Ah, so many adorable dark pokemon~ Who to choose!

It doesn't have to be dark, they can be any kind. They just have to have made a deal with Darkrai to get a wish granted (that has gone horribly wrong. The only way they can free themselves form the circus is to tempt more souls to join so Darkrai can feed off them.)

I'll try to make the fake app soon. Maybe if enough people make their own characters I'll start a group. But it would take like at least 15-20 people, if not more. It takes a lot of people to make a successful group!

Cool! I've already started mine and will try spreding the word.And yeah, I actually am co-fouder of a group that is pretty much failing miserably right now. We tried to be a good group, nd then no one was participating, and the founder just started ignoring it too.

I've had two groups fail on me so far so I understand. I didn't even really ignore my groups, I guess they just weren't the right idea at the right time... I don't know...

Deamonsin-7 In reply to spiderliing666 [2013-04-09 18:47:02 +0000 UTC]

Understood, yeah. Not all groups can be successful. In fact, most aren't. I haven't created ny myself, but my friends have and they have a hard time runnng them. anywayss, seeing as you are starting to seriously consider circus dakrai as a group, I'd be wiling to act as a mod or contributor if you need it.

spiderliing666 In reply to Deamonsin-7 [2013-04-09 19:01:44 +0000 UTC]

Cool. Thanks. I would need active mods, people who can, if need be, create and monitor events, and keep track of points (which it turns out I'm crap at...)

This is amazing! However, I think you should have called it Cirque de Darkrai, but that's just my opinion.

spiderliing666 In reply to Pockymaster13 [2013-04-08 01:36:33 +0000 UTC]

Blah! Hit add before I finished... I think that name is too close to Cirque de Freak. Not that I have anything against Cirque de Freak (or is it Cirque du Freak? Whatever- those books). But thanks! That is a good name

Pockymaster13 In reply to spiderliing666 [2013-04-08 02:25:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, thanks. I think it kind of has a ring to it because Circus Darkrai has a slightly harder and choppy feel to it, while the word Cirque helps lead into the next word.

Well, I'm stuck with Circus Darkrai. It's literally stuck in my brain I couldn't rename it now if I wanted to.

I'm not making a group. I'm tired of rejection right now. It's been a solid month (and some change) of utter shit. It's easier if I just keep it to myself. Sorry...

I'm glad you like the poster though At least I get some positive feedback once in awhile. It's heartening

Wow! I did work on it a long time! I used some stock art of course, and Dover resources, but I drew Darkrai's silhoutte, the Gengar and the Umbreon myself.
