Days of Katimavik

...just when you thought I could not get any manlier

It is Friday night here in Alma and the Katimavik house is practically empty. There is basically no furniture and I am using a sleeping bag (to sleep obv) because today was moving day! Seeing the house in this state is kind of eerie and has really hammered down the fact that Katimavik will soon be history...which has made me quite sad. That is why in this blog post I want to remember a time when we actually had a table to eat off of. A night where we became submersed in a story of lies, deceit and murder.

The time, early in the morning in 1921, the place a traveling circus...so I guess you can pick the place, but the crime was the murder of Francesco Mulini. He was the circus` head honcho dude. He was murdered and his body dumped in the lion`s cages only to be found when he did not show up for the mornings meeting. The circus was losing money yet he was still floating in oodles cash so there was plenty of motive to kill but who murdered Francesco.

Shoshana: (The Bearded Woman; Barbarella Joly)



It was well known that this bearded woman she spent all her time alone in her trailer, but that us because she liked to write...when she found out that Francesco published one of her manuscripts under his name for profit, was that enough to push her over the edge and commit such a terrible crime?

Emilie: (The Janitor; Gaston Samson)



Always living in the shadow of others and picking up everyones trash, this janitor had aspirations to become a huge success on the main stage of the circus. Francesco however crushed his dreams and told him he had no hope of ever becoming famous. Did this reality check make him snap?

Tony: (The Lion Keeper; Roger Frayant)



Grieving the loss of one of his Siberian tigers, Roger, was on a mission to find out who stole his most prized possession. When he found out that Francesco let his tiger be slaughtered and its fur sold on the black market, did Roger give Francesco a taste of his own cruel medicine?

Fred: (The Mysterious Horse Trainer; Nadia Petrowzky)



The new woman around town, Nadia is very quite and controlled. No one knows anything about her except that she was seen arguing with Francesco the night he was murdered. Was it their secret love and lack of commitment from Francesco that drove her insane.

Jordan: (The Sexy Assistant; Marguerite Labonté)



This sexy female gets more then enough attention around the campus. Although she is married to the magician and assistant director Clovis, she has faithfully served Francesco, but could she have seen something that turned her against her lifetime friend. She does have keys to his office and more than enough alone time with the director to get the job down.

Mik: (The Juggler; Émile Laronde) *he did not dress up so a small cartoon caricature will have to be sufficient*



This old timer at the circus is on the way out. Even though he was one of the founding fathers, his act was becoming sloppy and boring. Francesco was debating whether or not to keep him on the payroll so if Émile found out his fate would he be willing to kill if the decision did not go in his favour?

Jessica: (The Magician; Clovis Choquette)



The assistant director to the circus has had enough. Francesco is hiding something big from him and he cannot pit point what it is. On top of that Francesco seems to be keeping more than his share of the profits. His wife also seems to be spending a lot of time with Francesco, so was it jealousy that pushed him over the edge?

Andréanne: (The World's strongest Woman; Raymonde Petit)



This strong minded woman has enough brute strength to end the life of Francesco with her own bare hands, so did Francesco anger her in someway by making a jab at being ladylike?

Tom: (The Snake Charmer; Abul Amith)



Abul Amith is on the run from the police, and Francesco has just found out his true identity. To save his own hide did Abul, or Trevor for that fact, commit another crime just so he could get a second chance at life.

L.A: (The Clown; Rosalie Jetté)



Roasalie is in a slump and many people have noticed her depressing mood. She has been single for a very long time and is looking for someone to love. Was Francesco`s rejection to hard for her to handle?

Any ideas of who could be so cruel and end the life of Francesco just as he was reaching his prime? It was quite the whirl wind story and I still can`t believe what happened...
