   Summary

   What if, instead of the MC having a sensible head on their shoulders, the MC was just a straight dumbass? Instead of realizing right away that something is amiss with the circus, they're just painfully oblivious? What if the MC just has orange cat energy?

   Would they still survive, or would the MC meet with a terrible fate?

   Summary

   It was supposed to be a game, just one game after all, "The Freak Circus," a visual novel game that became popular a few months after its release... so why am I here now?

   AND WHY THE HELL AM I A LITTLE GIRL?!

   Summary

   Being human comes with many perks. Being a cat also comes with perks. Switching between either one means you get the best of both worlds. And the worst, but the best parts cancel out the bad ones.

   But one of Pierrot's favorite perks of being a cat is being able to spend time with his lady without worry of her becoming scared. He can come into her home as he pleases, sit on her lap as he pleases, even sleep in the same bed with her as he pleases. He can do anything and she'd never get mad. No one would.

   Cats were once worshiped, after all.

   Summary

   Prairie Hayes moved back to her hometown to finish her degree and survive on two part-time jobs. She wasn't supposed to get involved with the Circus of Horrors that rolled into town in December. She wasn't supposed to help the bleeding jester who kept getting attacked in her coffee shop. She wasn't supposed to accept the painted roses, the whispered secrets, the tickets to performances that blur the line between illusion and reality.
   But Prairie has always been too kind for her own good.

   Summary

   Monsters. They are rare, sure, but not impossible to find. Some prefer to be loners, and others prefer teamwork. But some competing groups of them do not like competition.

   Mike does not like competition. At all. She had agreements with others to work together, but she hated competitors. Modern Entertainment was always fighting for your attention, with flashy lights and all, so she just had to modernize (cut off her head and replace it with a television...), but when she saw that poor little pathetic red clown getting harassed for little to no reason, she just had to step in! "Surely this will have no consequences!" she thought! ...With her hindsight 20/20,she could understand where she whent wrong. Well,At least she and her group of monsters now had more to deal with. How fun.

   OR

   The MC in this Fic is a jester equivalent. She's much less...moral than him when it comes to her own, actually.

   ( Former Name(?) 'Square-headed in both definitions' )
