Oh, okay. Sorry, I just usually hear about those and circuses being close to the same thing...

[Maybe that's a more modern thing.]

Yeah, Joker's pretty nice. He's a little hard to get used to at first, but I think he means well.

It's okay. Miss Elsa's show was the last one still running. Television came along, nobody has to go outside to get their jollies anymore.

Hell, we're not even a traveling show anymore. We set up pretty permanent down in Florida a few months ago.

[wing_attack]

I don't think I've ever been to Florida. I'm pretty sure we never had a mission there...

It's hot as the devil's ass crack, just as damp, and the people are shitheels. You're not missing anything.

I lived in California near the ocean. It gets pretty hot there, though not as muggy as Florida, I think. But there's plenty of jerks. I kept running into them at school.

Oh hey, I've spent time in California. Not in a long time, but when I was young we had a winter gig there for a few years in a row. Down south, by Escondido.

[wing_attack]

Yeah? I'm from farther north, near Pasadena. I used to live on the East Coast sometimes, though I prefer California.

[anexcitableboy]

I think I like the west coast better than the east coast. People seem...I dunno, more relaxed. Don't get all upset over stupid stuff all the time. It's easier out there for some people in the show, you know? We got people from all over performing with us, if you catch my drift.

[wing_attack]

Yeah, that's true. Not that people can't be uptight in my area, but it's definitely not like out east.

[anexcitableboy]

And the South is the worst. I just...don't get how people can be like that. Somebody's a little bit different, so they're not even a person anymore.

Folks are lousy.

[wing_attack]

I don't think I've ever been there, but yeah, that's pretty terrible.

... I think that's part of why I prefer being a bird. Nature doesn't really care much as long as you survive.
