Geek
You head towards the Freak side of the carnival and try to find the Pinheads, when you see them you notice they're all congregated together in a relatively secluded area. Almost as if they're in a meeting. How odd.
They haven't seen you yet, so you take the opportunity to get closer by sneaking around behind them and hiding behind a barrel. You prop your back up against it, close your eyes and pretend to be passed out, just in case someone passes by, wondering what you're doing. You then attempt to listen and you can't believe what you're hearingÂ…
"So George did you hear what's going on in Germany?"
"Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if we had to go to war with themÂ…AGAIN."
"Well maybe a war would be good for the economy."
"Maybe, I doubt if it could get any worse."
"Yeah, but if we go to war that means less people coming to this Carnival, and that's not good for our income."
"Oh I don't know about that. History has shown that in hard times, people are actually more inclined to want to escape reality and that's what this Carnival is all about; escaping reality."
The Pinheads are discussing world matters! All this time they've been acting like idiot children and they're actually intelligent! You get enthralled by more of their conversation. They begin discussing literature, science, philosophy and other topics that are far above your comprehension or even a normal person's comprehension.
Unfortunately since you're not actually watching them and just listening, you don't see what some of them do. The Pinheads realize you've been spying on them mainly due to your powerful smell which is unmistakable at this range. A couple of them did a bit of sneaking around on their own while the others continued the conversation to keep you put until they got into position.
"Psst! Hey Geek, over here!"
You open your eyes just in time to see a baseball smash into your face, breaking your nose. You curl in a fetal position while holding your nose and resisting the urge to yell. You pretend you're still drunk, hoping you can throw them off suspicion. It doesn't work though. The Pinheads have been fooling everyone for so long they're experts in seeing through a fake act as pathetic as yours and even if they couldn't they still wouldn't want to take the chance of you blabbing.
"Shoulda stayed in your cell today Geek." are the last words you hear as a crowd of angry little squinty faces stare down at you, before they beat you to death and then dump your body in the clown tent.
You really don't want to know what happens after that.
