•Sausage and Gem were 10 and 8 years old when they joined the circus.

•Lizzie and FWhip's predecessors (the people who were tightrope walkers before them) were none other than Pearl and Grian. Lizzie and FWhip aren't the only pair of tightrope walking twins in this AU, and the Emperors weren't the only people involved with Empiria Circus.

•Pearl and Grian left to go find another job (this was before the circus owner had decided on a way of controlling to performers), opening the tightrope walking position for Lizzie and FWhip. That's when they joined, and it's around when the story began.

•The first time Pix and Oli performed together, Pix accidentally tripped Oli up, but Pix helped Oli to his feet before the circus owner saw (even before all the accidents, all the performers had a bad feeling about him).

•It isn't mentioned, but Joel was... he wasn't involved with the circus as a child, but he went there regularly, just to see a specific cat hybrid tightrope walker.

•He left whenever Lizzie's act finished.

•Sausage's replacement is poorer quality than Oli's replacement, as it was one of the first androids the man who made him had constructed. By the time a replacement for Oli was needed, the man had much more experience with androids, so it's near impossible to tell that Oli isn't human unless you look really closely.

•The owner of the circus was very good friends with the owner of a tech company- that was how he got the biotic parts for Pix and FWhip after their accidents.

•When Sausage died, the circus owner was too lazy to find a replacement, and as Sausage was already beloved by the circus' regular viewers/customers, he asked his friend to make a robotic replacement for Sausage, which he did.

•The same happened for Oli when he died (the circus stayed open after they left), but we don't get to see that because the narrator has left the circus at that point. We only find out that Oli has a replacement when the performers get to Empires SMP.

•Oli has/had two mums. They are very dead, (all of the circus performers are orphans who got roped into performing in the circus) but he has them.

•Gem's fear of heights came from when Pearl was showing her the tightrope and she nearly fell (she was about 8 at the time and it terrified her).

•Empiria Circus actually has a dog that just- belongs to the circus, although the dog would often go onto Sausage's platform with him when he was announcing acts.

•That dog was Bubbles, and Sausage's replacement took her with him when he and Oli's replacement escaped.

•Despite the fact that Sausage's replacement had no memories of Bubbles, he still thought she was cute, which is why he took her with him when he escaped.

•Sausage is the oldest circus performer (at the age of 19 when the performers escaped), but Pix was at the circus the longest- around ten or eleven years.

•Lizzie and FWhip are the youngest performers, and they were at the circus for the least amount of time.
