conversations.value: *It's not safe to go alone.*
  
  There are no flyers that advertise its arrival, but when the Midnight Circus appears, word spreads like wildfire.  Whispers passed from one person to the next proclaim the news: the circus is here.
  
  For three nights only, the circus displays its phantasmagorical delights. Illusionists, acrobats, beast tamers and fortune tellers populate the faded tents. Anything your heart desires can be provided -- for a price.
  
  But beware; the gates creak open on the stroke of midnight and close as the sun breaks the horizon. Those who remain inside - or those who wander off on their own - may never emerge.
  
  *Messrs. Sable and Slaughter are demons in the business of collecting souls. Their employees are either fellow creatures of the night (eg. vampire, werewolf, undead), or unfortunates who owe them a debt and sold their lives into indentured servitude rather than sell their souls.*
  
  *I'm not sure where I want this to go, plot-wise; collaboration is greatly encouraged. Feel free to make suggestions/write your own character cards/ etc.*
  
  *Vampires and werewolves in the classic tradition, please.*
  
  *Overall, I'm going to rely less on cards and more on your writing.*
  
  *Tone should be relatively serious and dark.*

conversations.value: Snake Charmer: There is nothing ever quite so surreal or enchanting as your dance with the snake. Most would flee in terror, but you’ve embraced that darkest part of yourself and have learned that within you, there is a secret blood that calls to the serpent. People watch, transfixed, as you mirror the beautiful dance between life and death, victim and prey, lust and hate.
