I'm Kinky the Klown, but don't mistake me for a joke. Asking too many questions gets on my nerves too, so don't worry about things like who I am really, or where I came from, or my "Real name". Those are all just jokes with no punch line. I like to laugh, though sometimes it hurts people's feelings when they don't think it's "Appropriate".<br/><br/>These are the people I work with, my "Family" if you will. Everyone I love and loathe, all packed together, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. I'm not complaining, it's all a joke anyway. Get it?<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">*The "It" List*</div><div class="spoiler_body">These are the people who I've grown somewhat tolerant of, or at the very least can stand to be around. Sooner or later, all of them will hurt me, betray me or break my heart. That's what's so funny...<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Mari</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Mariana<br/><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Stage Hand<br/><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong> Mad Respect<br/><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I owe at least two "Favors" to any member of the Crew, given my junkie-like reliance upon their technical expertise. Even among the Techs, Mariana has something special. She knows how to laugh along, rather than laugh at. When I <em>really</em> need something done, I turn to Mari first, Elizabeth second (If at all).<br/><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I generally assume that most members of the crew despise me, Lord knows I give them all reason enough. Last minute light cues, costume changes, scene elements and effects. I wouldn't blame her for hating me. Still, she seems to have more of a sense of humor than most.<br/><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Kepler</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kepler<br/><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Stage Hand<br/><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong> Mad Respect<br/><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I owe at least two "Favors" to any member of the Crew, given my junkie-like reliance upon their techincal expertice. Kep runs the show from the technical side, and for that reason alone, I try to keep on his good side. He a straight shooter, no B.S. and less than average ego to work around.<br/><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I generally assume that most members of the crew despise me, Lord knows I give them all reason enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he thought that I was a huge asshole, he's not the type to get the joke. Still, he's not the sort to harbor grudges or let his opinion of me influence his work. He's brilliant at what he does.<br/><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lexi</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lexie<br/><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br/><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong> Protege<br/><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I often tell her that she's as green as a snot rocket, but deep down I'm constantly impressed with how quickly she's come along. She's recklessly beautiful and has a great sense of humor. If she wasn't a part of the act, I might have feelings for her, but given her role, my expectations of her are unrealistically high. I push her hard, because I want more for her. The Clowns are more than just eye candy.<br/><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> She probably hates me, and would be naive not to be a little bit afraid. Though, if she harbors resentment, no one would ever know it. She's equally bubbly, shiny and excited around everyone. It's hard to even imagine her being angry about anything. Some days this is refreshing, other days nauseating.<br/><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing.</div></div><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">*The "Shit" List*</div><div class="spoiler_body">These are the ones that have gotten on my bad side, one way or another. It's really easy to get on this list, and very difficult to get off. I tend to put up layers of defense between them and myself, yet I'll always keep my enemies closer.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Lawrence</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lawrence<br/><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong> "That" Guy<br/><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong> Rival<br/><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I'm amused by Larr-Bear's rage, also fascinated. I believe that he's still head-over-heels for the Boss Lady, but he'd sooner beat a clown than admit to it. I try not to hold it against him, when he cracks my skull for pushing a joke too far. It's just hard not to laugh at someone THIS humorless and droll. <br/><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I don't know, ask him! He doesn't like me, I know that for sure. He's so protective over Liz and her big ideals that anything new or innovative makes him shit a brick.<br/><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Chloe</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Chloe<br/><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Act<br/><br/><strong>Relationship:</strong> I'm the sizzle, she's the steak.<br/><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I have immense respect for Chloe and her abilities, not to mention an appreciation for her beauty. That said, she's as arrogant as the day is long, a real Prima Donna. She thinks that the entire circus and everyone in it exist only for her. Most people appease her, do the dance to prevent her from lashing out, not this Klown though. No-Siree-Boo-Boo! I'm the one trying to rescue her from climbing so deep up her own ass that none of us can ever find her again. Maybe she'll give me a tour some day. Does she appreciate me reminding her which way is up? Of course not, she judges me and spurns me and tries to embarrass me given any opportunity. Lucky for me, I have no shame!<br/><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> If she even notices me at all, I imagine that to her I'm just something underfoot. A nuisance with the bad habit of telling the truth.<br/><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing.</div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">*The "Hit" List*</div><div class="spoiler_body">This world ain't big enough for the both of us. These people are on their way out, they've crossed the line too often, now it's them or me. No one gets added to this list lightly, but there's only one way out. It's them or me!<br/></div></div>
