Ch.8: Welcome All to the Circus!

Comic, The Great Barley and Bay-Lily Circus
March 13, 2018

A new figure enters the circus ring in a puff a smoke

It smirks and adjusts it's cap as lights set the stage in an ominous green glow

A headlight pierces through, spotlighting a fox dressed as a carnival ringmaster. "Ladies and Gentlemen.", it speaks. A green glow emanates from where eyes should be. "Boys and Girls, and Everything between and not.

"flora, fauna, and strange creatures with gills!" the fox continues. Gemini and various beings from the crowd sit transfixed.

"welcome." it spits, while flower petals escape from a maw of sharp teeth.

"Welcome to the Barley – That's me", she speaks in dramatic flair.

"and Bay-Lily, that's she", the fox mentions, moving asside to reveal an almost identical fox with a slightly sicklier shade to its pelt, but the same ghostly glow escaping from the slits where eyes should be.

"Circus", both foxes say in unison.

"Prepare to be awed and amazed--", Barley whispers, holding her sister close. "—As our decadent acts entertain, delight...", Bay-Lily continues.

"And satisfy" they finish together in unison, seperating to show the next act, a woman in a feathered tutu riding a unicycle, and resembling Gemini.

Barley and Bay-Lily are identical in almost every way. How do you tell them apart? Barley has a brighter, orangier pelt. How does she keep her glow?
