Summary
As any carnival or circus should, the Piffling Traveling Circus has a myriad of amusement machines, most of which Antigone finds pointless as she much prefers watching the performances. Despite her dislike for the contraptions she finds that even the smaller things that the circus offers her can bring her joy, as long as the ringmistress is by her side.

Summary
"Weariness wore Marlene down, it was evident in the dark circles underneath her eyes; her voice was gravelly as she spoke. Any minor hitch, no matter how minuscule, could drive the ringmistress into a rage in her frustrated, fatigued state. Antigone never wanted to admit she could be the same way when things did not go the way she intended them to, it was not lost on her how much she saw herself in Marlene when she was working herself to exhaustion like this with her perfectionist ways. She felt a need to take care of her, yet not for herself."
Marlene Magdalena runs a tight ship, or rather a tight circus, causing her a lot more stress than she is ever willing to admit. Thankfully for those who are stuck as subordinates to the ringmistress, Antigone is there; the only person able to calm the tyrannical woman. And has Antigone ever mentioned how masterful she is at breaking rigor mortis?

Antigone finds her lover among the branches of a cherry tree, and learns a bit more about the ringmistress's traditions of her home country.

Summary
"Upon the rain washed circus grounds, through the green of the fast growing grass rose the rich brown soil. The scent of petrichor hung in the air like perfume, complimenting the softness rain brought to the otherwise hardened earth.
Antigone would have found it quite beautiful if it were not for the fact that she had just slipped face first onto the muddy ground."The tenderness of bathing with one's lover, as presented through Marlene and Antigone
