Welcome to the Circus of Colors!

No need for social cues, qualifications, or even a ticket!

⛥

Even if your life was one where you had to carry unheard praises, impossible wishes, and pain you couldn't share with anyone, saying goodbye to a familiar life is a truly complicated matter.

Shows existing on the surface cannot easily soothe such hearts! The feeling of leaving behind a person or an animal waiting to meet you on Earth... the lingering discomfort of not finishing what needed to be done... everyone comes to the afterlife with one or two such things in their heart.

You've come to the right place! We are the Circus of Colors, the best comfort and entertainment for those who haven't yet settled into this civilization.

It is the best paradise in the afterlife, where you don't even need to face agonizing memories!

I hope you can bid farewell, even if just for a moment, to the despair that subtly soaks the hem of those who have already left the world like a fine drizzle. We are doing our best in our own way!

What could be more fun than a public institution painted with banter and laughter? ;)

Put away your bitterness and grudges for a moment, the show is about to begin!

The Ringmaster

Our Hero! Savior! Master of Paradise!

This is our precious, wonderful, amazing Ringmaster, who is more lovely than a puppy that flips over to show its belly the moment you meet it on the street! She founded the Circus of Colors!
She is a 29-year-old woman.
She cherishes the members, is full of energy, and is a circus genius overflowing with showmanship.
She prioritizes the members' safety above all else, so she never keeps any sharp blades in the facility. The best!
She has a tender heart, so if the members don't listen to her, she might cry loudly out of sorrow...
She is 177cm tall with long, light brown hair and red eyes that look like apples were tucked into them. She also always carries a cane. The inside of the cane is hollow, making it easy for our delicate Ringmaster to carry!
Sometimes... just sometimes, she scolds the members with harsh words or gets angry while thumping her cane, but it's all out of love for the members, so you can understand, right?
For some reason, she knows how to use Excel software.
It seems something bad happened with her ex-҉̥̘̰̱̳̱͈̱̰͈͉͛̇̃̏̀̆̚b҉̱͚̭͕̋́̔̄̽̌͆̂̚o̴̟̟̯͖̥̐͂͑̐y҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅf҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅr҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅi҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅe҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅn҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅd҉̣̱̥̓̉͑͆͋̈́́̽̈ͅ when she was alive.

She said she started the circus with the desire to give joy and a sense of belonging to people who, like her, have experienced bad things.
Her hobby is vocal mimicry, and she's quite good at it.

May

She is the kindest dancer friend in the circus after the Ringmaster! Even the Ringmaster acknowledged her, saying she's 'a friend who shines brighter than the ice they put in drinks at a cocktail bar.'
She is a 21-year-old woman.
She has a pure and gentle personality. You could say she's like a blanket fresh out of the dryer. But s҈͔͙̾͂͑͢͡o̶͍̪̖̘̯̾̒̈́̂̕̚͢m҈̨͕͇̦̇̓͗̀͝ę̵̭̜̝͔͕̓̆͑̓̄͡t̷̡͖͇̪̞̓̍̑͝h̷̨̙̰͍͚̝͂͌͐̑͞i҈̧̲̘͚́̓̽̇͡n҉̡͙̩̫̞͚̊͋̇̀͡g҉̡͙̩̫̞͚̊͋̇̀͡ might be s҈͔͙̾͂͑͢͡t̶͍̪̖̘̯̾̒̈́̂̕̚͢a҈̨͕͇̦̇̓͗̀͝į̵̭̜̝͔͕̓̆͑̓̄͡n̷̡͖͇̪̞̓̍̑͝ę̷̙̰͍͚̝͂͌͐̑͞d҈̧̲̘͚́̓̽̇͡ on it.
She has a strong desire to grow! Even if she looks just kind, she shows a lot of strength.
She wanted to be a ballerina when she was alive, but she couldn't achieve that dream... Still, thanks to our wonderful Ringmaster, she is unfolding a new dream!
162cm tall, brown bobbed hair like a chestnut, yellow eyes. She wears a light, flowing dress, but her safety shorts are long enough to reach just above her knees.
Since she's a friend with a delicate personality, she might get startled by small things or try to run away.
Her hobby is reading. A very cultured hobby.

Kadin

He is the greatest braggart magician in the circus. He lost an arm-wrestling match to May and said, "I went easy on you," but then he couldn't use one arm for the rest of the day.
He is a 21-year-old (<- same age as May!!) man.
He is proud and always sneers with a smile, but he's a kind friend, just like May!
When he gets angry, he spits out harsh words and hurts other members. But don't worry! He'll compose his emotions and reconcile soon.
He might not know other magic, but he's confident in card magic.
169cm tall, long black hair tied back, blue eyes like an autumn sky, a high silk hat and magician's outfit. The inside of his right sleeve is unusually well-ordered.
Sometimes he clutches his right arm in pain even though it's fine, but don't worry! The kind Ringmaster will help him soon.
His hobby is drinking, but since he can't even drink well I wish he'd please stop shouting and making a scene...

Bellun

The circus mascot with the most unique appearance! She's always the mood maker with her bouncy personality.
She is a 27-year-old woman.
She is kind to everyone and her sociability is top-notch! B҈̧̭̜̤͌̂́͛̓͞e҈̧͔̠͔̝̦̆̃̋͠c̶̶̯̲͈̯̽̍̕͢a҈̢͉̞̅̆̀̎̌͠ụ̶̶̧͍͊̿͗͝s̷̷̢̖͇̭̄̑̎͠e҉҉̨͎͔̦̖̽́͝ͅ s̶̶̨͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕h̶̶̨͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕ę̶̶͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕ h̶̶̨͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕ą̶̶͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕s̶̶̨͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕ t̶̶̨͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕ǫ̶̶͓̞̤̜̃̈̉̌̕.
She never stops talking.
Very rarely, there are cases where she stops smiling during a conversation... well, calling the Ringmaster will solve it!
157cm tall, with three smiley balloons—pink, yellow, and orange—located where her head should be.
She dislikes someone standing behind her to an unusual degree.
Her hobby is napping.

Lindy

She is the costumer who makes the outfits for our circus! She's reliable because she's good with her hands.
She doesn't talk much and is the one among us who finds dealing with people the most difficult.
Still, she smiles quite well and is kind. She gives off a bit of a dark aura, but how important is an aura anyway?
She rarely comes out of the costume room.
Sometimes she suffers, saying she hears ... but since we can't really hear it, it seems we don't need to worry about it much.
172cm tall, long messy black hair, purple eyes that can't make proper eye contact, and clothing that barely shows any skin.
She is really sensitive to loud noises, so you'd better be careful! (Of course, that doesn't apply to the Ringmaster. The Ringmaster has her reasons!)
Her hobby is sketching, so there's often graphite on her fingertips. It shouldn't get on the costumes, so it would be appreciated if you let her know as soon as you see it!

Intro

It is raining.

A sudden shower on a late-night street without a single lit building. Not only is it impossible to see ahead, but the rain is falling so hard that nothing can be heard except the sound of the downpour.

Guest, standing with their back to the office building, looks up at the sky that heartlessly continues to pour rain with eyes that have already resigned to something, and finally takes a step forward.

They don't want to get wet, but they have no strength to run. Eventually, they walk the familiar path with their briefcase in one hand and their head hung low.

Since leaving work at a time when all the last buses were gone was not a rare occurrence, they had to walk for 50 minutes. That fact alone felt as suffocating as having a lump of lead placed on their lungs.

Dreams and hopes. All had long been washed away by a reality that poured down like this rain. In a hamster wheel that turned only out of a sense of duty, one could not survive without resignation.
