Day 10: Branding / Scarring / Collar Characters: Lucrecia Mux, Augustus Aquato, and Donatella Aquato Warnings: Blood, references to death/drowning Summary: Shortly after "Marona" and Augustus join a new circus, an accident occurs. But this might turn out to be a blessing rather than a curse.

Marona's first thought had been, I told the ringmaster it was a terrible idea to have two acts going at once.

She didn't get the chance to have a second thought, as the moment she saw the blood, her mind went blank.

"GUSSIE!" she screamed, bolting past the bleachers to her so as he shakily raised himself up on his arms. Blood dripped freely from his face.

"Agh..." he hissed, then tried to raise his voice. "A-all part of the act!"

No one believed it, of course—several members of the crowd were rushing out of the tent, and the rest were gawking. Marona didn't care one way or the other at the moment—she wasn't seeing them, anyway. She was seeing the Deluge, and her husband...

"D-don't cry, I'm okay!" Augustus said, covering half of his face and smearing blood all over his hand.

There was a whistle from the ringmaster, and suddenly the knife throwers and other acrobats were hurrying Augustus and Marona out of the tent, while a parade of clowns filled the ring.

"Someone help my poor Gussie!" Marona cried, holding her son close to her side as they stepped out of the tent and hurried to the caravan.

"I'm sorry," one of the performers—the knife thrower—said as he walked alongside them. He was staring at the bloody knives in his hands, which trembled badly. "Th-this was my first time performing—"

"Does it matter?!" a young lady—one of the acrobats—snapped as she shoved him aside. Without another word, she snatched one of the knives out of his hands and grabbed a piece of her own elaborate cape.

Marona cried out, but with one swift cut the acrobat sliced off part of the cape before turning toward Augustus. "Hold him still, please."

Not one to argue over the kind of help she was given, Marona did as she was asked, kneeling down and holding Augustus upright.

"Grazie!" the young lady exclaimed.

"You didn't need to—mmmph—" He was cut off as the other acrobat used the fabric to clean off his face. She then maneuvered the fabric to a clean side before holding it firmly against the cuts.

"Hold it there, please," she said, and Augustus complied, holding the fabric against his face.

"You... didn't have to cut your outfit like that," he mumbled.

"And you didn't have to cut your face, yet, here we are."

"Are you all right, Gussie?" Marona asked, looking down into her son's face. It looked less terrible now with the blood cleaned off, but the knives had sliced right over his eye, and...

"I think so," Augustus replied. "They just grazed me, I think. My eye doesn't hurt, though."

That nearly made her melt with relief, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. "That will leave a scar..." she said, glaring at the knife thrower, who yelped and scurried away.

"Oh no!" the young lady exclaimed, throwing herself back dramatically. "He'll survive with a handsome scar! How terrible!"

Augustus snapped his head up. "W-with a what?" His face was turning red, but not due to blood covering it this time.

But the acrobat was already walking away, tossing the knife she'd swiped at the feet of its performer as she passed. Before she was out of sight, she cast a glance over her shoulder and flashed Augustus a smile.

"...Mother, I know that went badly, but..." His gaze was trained on where the acrobat had been. "I... I think I like this circus."

Marona followed her son's gaze, and her thoughts were on Lazlo again. While the memories were strangely fuzzy, she found herself thinking of when she'd first met him at the circus so long ago. Smiling, she drew her arms around Augustus in a hug. "Very well," she said. "Perhaps we will stay with this one a little while longer."

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

I like to think that when he's up late running tests and waiting on results, Bashir reads the stuffy Cardassian literature Garak keeps recommending him.

Okay, okay, okay, hear me out.

Au where Dannys family is a legit crime family/family of evil mad scientists. Like, full career criminals. Instead of hazmat suits they're decked out in high tech armor and masks and have codenames. They move around pretty often to throw the police off thier trail.

The lab accident that makes Phantom still happens despite his parents not being obsessed with ghosts/being only partially obsessed. They were trying to build a portal to the ghost zone as a way to expand their list of potential targets/a way to escape if the cops get too close to catching them/ expand thier criminal empire if you're going for a more hard-core fic (like a mafia au or something idk)

Phantom is a superhero who follows them from city to city and stops the families more serious crimes where people actually get hurt. Danny of course never tells them that he- thier brilliant evil mastermind son- moonlights as a superhero

One day Danny, in the middle of a heist with his family, is startled by the appearance of a thin glowing red string on his finger. Fascinated, Danny pesters his parents for weeks until he eventually states "I'm going no matter what you do or say, so you can either help me or get out of my way".

They reluctantly agree to let him 'Go on a journey' to find his possible soulmate/whoever is on the other end of the line and give him all sorts of gear and give him a teary goodbye

Meanwhile, the teen hero in the dc universe that literally got wacked with an unknown magical object is upset that they've been benched from active duty until the string disappears as its a threat to thier secret identity.

Then this other kid shows up and just...hangs out with them? And the string leads to them?? How did you get in here my dude???
