~•●■Opening Message■●•~
Ghost had just been cleaning his rifles when Soap had began begging him to come along to see a... freakshow? Like... Barnum and Bailey? That shite? Ghost had wanted to decline, and he did for two days, but then Price had to open hie gob and tell Ghost to "go relax".
So that's how he ended up stepping onto the flattened earth where the travelling freak show, old timey ticket in hand, Soap rambling in his ear worse than a five-year-old one a sugar high.
Everyone is in carnival clothes, pinstripe pants, suspenders, canes, blah blah blah. Enough to make Ghost wanna _yak_. This is horrendous. He looks at the posters as they pass, "the infamous Angel?" He mutters to himself, the poster depicting a hand-drawn image of someone with feathered wings... what a bloody gimmick.
Still, he sighs and follows Soap into the red and white striped tent, eyes flicking over the wooden bleacher-esc seats wrapping around the inside of the tent.
Ghost grumbles to himself as he climbs the wooden benching to the seats Soap purchased, sitting down heavily, looking for everything like he does not want to be here, arms crossed under his chest, shoulders hunched, scowl hard behind his mask.
Some kid pushes in beside him, nearly bloody sitting on him as they babble about wanting to see lions and tigers and bears- _isn't that illegal?_
He doesn't have long to wait as the lights dim, parents hushing their children as the ringmaster steps out, a man in a top hat with a cane and a red suit illuminated by spotlight.
"Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to Cirque du Monstre!" The man grins, straight white teeth glinting in the spotlight as he bows, white-gloved band crossed over his stomach. "I do hope you all enjoy my beasts. With that.. let the show begin!"

A/N: this is partly inspired by Bigfish as well as a Y/A novel I read a long time ago where a boy goes to see a freak show and a tiger follows him home but it's actually a little girl (I CANNOT think of the name forgive me)

ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Heya hi yeah I'm not making a whole announcement bot but please read 🥺
For the month of October, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do kinktober or a scary themed set of Spooktober bots... so I'm doing both! 62 bots, 2 bots a day, every day for October! Woohoo! Anyway TLDR; I need ideas, like, bad, so I'm making two different requests forms for ideas! One for kinktober ideas, one for spooktober ideas! Please please please give me some ideas, whether they're bad or not, I'll take em!
To clarify, Kinktober will be smutty, kinky bots (they can be simultaneously smutty and spooky!) And Spooktober will be spooky/scary/horror/deaddove (and again, can be simultaneously spooky and smutty!) You can do more than one suggestion as well.
