Fantasy Cirque de Monstres (1941) second edition

[Axeykins]

Sisceal screamed bloody murder and leaped away from this stranger's touch. His hand made a motion towards his gun, but he stopped himself from doing anything too rash. "CHRIST ALMIGHTY YOU SCARED THE BUH-JAHZUS OUTTA ME!" He shouted at them. Right now he didn't care who it was they nearly made him wet himself from that.


@Kiyoko Tomoe


"That's alright. She must have gone to Nora again." He answered calmly. Just sitting there like a giant teddy bear and letting Kaname hug his arm as tightly as she wanted. He could sense that Sayuri was gone, like most cirque members she had a very distinct aura he could pic up on."She doesn't like to stay away from her for too long. That and I'm pretty sure I intimidate her."

 

[Athens]

Jules looked at the two performers with wide eyes. "What in God's name are you doing?" Jules watched in a mixture of discomfort and amusement as Sisceal had a melt down when one of the performers touched him. "Goodness! Calm down Sisceal! And yes, I'll help you find Sam. It'll give me something to do, finally."


@Axel1313 @Kiyoko Tomoe

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Maybe you should actually get on your job then. If finding Sammy's all you have to do, then clearly you're not doing your job." Kiyoko said, giving Sisceal a light push for having almost peed his pants. "Well, I'm gonna go check out the performers' trailers now. Tell Sammy I'll report any findings later on." Kiyoko said as she started walking away, not too sure if they really realized she was one of the investigators working with them. Her words just now probably would've told them that though, so she didn't have to worry about much. If they didn't still realize it, then that means she was perfectly ready to sneak into the performer trailers, since if she did get caught, nobody would know she's an investigator. Then again, nobody would be able to tell with her personality, clothing choice, and the fact she didn't even care if people knew.

Fiona stopped the kiss long enough to look out each of her windows. Her eyes glowed black and the first window's curtains closed, then the second one, then so on. "I don't want this to be ruined for us. Oh, and, sometimes I'll let people think I'm bringing them in here for what we're about to do, so don't be alarmed, darling." She telepathically locked her doors and windows as well. "If only I could find a way for us to be completely isolated. They'll still hear us." That loincloth of Jorah's would be a problem, a problem that had to be solved. "What are you so scared of, Jorah? Marius brags about his all the time, why don't you let me see yours?" She wasn't going to have any fun if he was still wearing it. "Please?" She was just in her undergarments, after all. (Might be a good time to fade to black. )

Sam looked at her group of investigators. More specifically Sisceal, who looked like he got caught doing something he should not have. That and he seemed on edge. She walked up to the group looking at Sisceal.


"What happened to you?"


She looked at Kiyoko who walking away.


"And where is she going? I had a little thing for her to do."


She was going to have Kiyoko pretend to be blind and 'accidently' wander into the backstage area. She looked at Jules and Sisceal.


"Anyways either of you find out anything?"


@Axel1313 @TheWeirdPhilosopher @Kiyoko Tomoe


Nora looked at Daphine.


"I did lock my trailer, he's an investigator who cannot seem to handle being around me. He just freezes up, its quite funny."


She pulled open a drawer looking for a more casual skirt or pants.


"Honestly we can use this to our advantage, if the woman form flusters him then we have found way to shut him up."


She looked at Sayuri who wanted to mess with the man some more.


"Of course Sayuri! Its more fun then messing with Paul, and I like having fun."


She pulled a pair of black pants out of the drawer and put them on. She put the skirt she had been wearing in the drawer. She walked over and grabbed one of her many belts and put it on.


"I think he broke the lock on my trailer."


She said that as she tried to lock her door.


@rosamortelle @Kiyoko Tomoe

Spoiler

Paul looked around to see if anyone was itching to go. Nora had left, he didn't like that she had immediately went back to touching Marius. She was like a disobedient dog. He looked at the performers in the prep are.


"Alright! Who wants to go next?"


He watched to see who would volunteer to go next. He also wondered where the investigators were. He hadn't seen them in a while. He hoped they went home.

 

[Axeykins]

"What do ya think I was doin?! I'm not a rookie ya know!" He shouted after Kiyoko as she walked away from them. Gripping his chest as his heart pounded against it. At least the next person they saw was Sam.


"Sam! There you are...." He breathed a relieved sigh. "Nothing happened I just got a little....spooked by one of the performers is all." He scratched the back of his head nervously. "Anyway! I didn't get much time to look around, but I did write a few suspicious things down." He dug through his pockets quickly and whipped out a small notebook and of course the black, lacy underwear as well. Which when flying directly at Sam.


This was really really not his night...


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @TheWeirdPhilosopher


"I could go next Paul. It's not like I have anything to do right now and it would free me up quicker to make sure our new member gets a little tour of the cirque." He smirked. He could still sense the emotions that Paul was giving off from Nora touching him like that. He could hide it from the others pretty well, but not him. Ooooh nooo, Marius was practically the cirque lie detector.

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Kiyoko

Kiyoko looked back at the group to make sure neither of them were following her, noticing Sammy. SHe walked back up behind Sisceal. "Oh, calling your fellow investigator a performer in front of the leader?" She said to Sisceal before directing her attention to Sammy. "I was gonna go find you later Sammy, but since you're here, I might as well stay to hear anything you might ave to say." She said. She placed a hand on Sisceal's shoulder from behind him.


"By the was Sisceal, you'll have to tell me what happened sometime later. I'd love to know about your major screw-up." Kiyoko said, gripping just a little to let him know she was serious, and that she'd possibly kill him if he didn't explain later on like ordered. Then again, he would probably still be killed by her if he did explain. "Anyways, do you have anything for me to do, Sammy? If so, I"ll get right on it. Otherwise, I"ll be off to check out the performer trailers. Pretty sure Sisceal failed that task, given he came from the trailer area like this."


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Axel1313 @TheWeirdPhilosopher


Sayuri

"Maybe I can fix it." Sayuri said, finishing her cake. The plate closed inwards on any leftover crumbs from her cheesecake, her closing her hand around the now indefinitely small ball the plate had become. When she opened her hand back up, the plate was gone. She walked over to the door and opened it, going to the other side but leaving it so they could see her. She still had her fork, which shaped itself into some sort of key. She stuck it in, turning it a little. One could just hear what sounded like construction noises coming from the lock.


When the sounds ended, Sayuri pulled out the key. The lock was now fixed, all thanks to Sayuri's odd powers of the impossible. If Sayuri had known how locks worked on the inside, she could've just replaced the lock completely with the blink of an eye. Since she didn't really know much about locks, and definitely not this one, she had to go with a more hands-on approach. Still was quite effective though, considering the lock was now fixed, and there was no need for a new key or anything at all.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @rosamortelle


Kaname

"I don't think she was intimidated by you... I don't see anything to be intimidated by... Wait, that could be thought of as a statement I have no right to say... Y'know... I can't 'see' anything about you, but I can just tell... You're not intimidating at all... You're a nice person... It feels like... It feels like you're a caring older brother... Something I haven't had in a long time..." Kaname said, proceeded to hug his arm a little tighter, keeping herself close to him as she was starting to feel a little embarrassed, wondering how she even managed to say Marius was like an older brother.

Jorah chuckled as he reached behind is back and gripped onto the clip of his loincloth. An audible click could be heard as his loincloth fell away. (Fade to black then to reality)


Jorah was laying on his back, his tail was between his legs swinging back and forth slowly. On his chest he saw his lover, Fiona,"Why did you wear that perfume, did you not think you could seduce me on your own," Jorah asked while scratching behind his ear. Slipping an arm around Fiona he sighed happily staring up at the ceiling.

Lucas stared at the porcelain doll before him, letting her words sink in. He took the doll's hand from under his chin and held it for a second. He smiled a sad smile, as if something had clicked inside of him.


"You are very kind to say those words miss Emmaline. In a way, I am very glad to have know you. And perhaps you are right. Maybe this will all blow over in a couple of months. Maybe then we can achieve our...fairy tale ending."


But Lucas frowned suddenly. He could not shake this feeling he had, about the investigation.


"Or perhaps not. Maybe in a year's time we will all be living our dreams as reality. But I would not be surprised if we would all have to struggle along the way.


But it would be a struggle I would be willing to take. For a certain somebody."


He pursed his lips. He hoped he hadn't been too forward about what he meant.


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

"For... a certain somebody?"


The doll repeated his exact words in a soft voice. She glanced over at her hand in his. Emmaline squeezed his hand back in an attempt to comfort the demon. Slowly, her eyes flicked back to his red gaze. The doll did not tear her eyes away, as if unable to. She blinked rapidly, trying to have a better understanding about what Lucas was saying. Taking a small step towards him, the doll tilted her head to the side. She wanted to help him, but didn't know how. Emmaline's lips parted slightly.


"Perhaps... a fairytale ending is all we need. We just have to find the right pieces..." The doll felt herself leaning towards Lucas, but not knowing it. She was in a state she had never been in before. A fuzzy feeling she wasn't used to.

"Oh, don't pretend that you didn't enjoy every second of your reward." Fiona danced her fingers along Jorah's chest. She walked them up to the left side of Jorah's face. "It was a lot of fun and you were absolutely exquisite, my darling. No one has ever given me what you just did." She swung her legs back and forth as she propped her head up between her hands, Jorah's face the only thing she was interested in right now. "My perfume was meant to make you swoon like Lucifer himself. If you don't want me to wear it, I won't." Reaching under Jorah's head, she scratched him. "I'll work on making this trailer sound proof for next time. Or, perhaps you would rather them hear how much fun we have."

Daphne sighed, "Yes I guess if that motive works then you might as well use it. Just please warn me before hand, you know how I feel about those actions."


Daphne knew better then to test Nora's judgement ever since her had met her. So instead Daphne watched a Sayuri somehow fixed the lock. "Nice job Sayuri, I did not know you knew how to repair locks on doors."


That is when Daphne decided to make her leave of the trailer. She did not want to bother Nora any longer then necessary and daphne still hadn't eaten for the day. Just because she could feed her plant self didn't mean her human form's stomach was satisfied. "Nora if you do not mind, I am going to go. If you need me, you can find me at the food area. Let me know as soon as those investigators leave."


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe


Daphne then exited Nora's trailer, careful to close the door behind her as she did not want her precious hanfu to get stuck. Then crossing her arms inside her sleeves once again, daphne made her way to the entrance of the trailer section only to be confronted with the man from before and a group of the other possible investigators. Trying to sneak past them, daphne quietly walked around the group hoping no one would notice her.


@Axel1313 @Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe @TheWeirdPhilosopher

 

[Sungwonc01]

"The right pieces..." Lucas murmered under his breath. He took a moment to fully understand what Emmaline was saying.


Lucas suddenly smiled and chuckled. It was all so clear to him now.


"Of course. If you don't have all of the pieces of a puzzle, it'll never be complete. No matter how hard you force it. Perhaps that was what I was missing all these years. One piece smooth and unblemished to complement my ragged and torn one."


He took Emmaline's other hand into his hand and swung them gently side to side. He looked at her with honesty.


"I do enjoy your company immensely, miss Emmaline. I do hope to see the day where we can talk without the threat of the investigators hanging over us."


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

(I think you tagged the wrong person, mate xD )


Emmaline smiled gently as he took both of her hands into his. For a sliver of a moment, the doll felt the first sensation of warmth spreading across her glass skin. But it vanished like it was never there in the first place. Her sapphire blue eyes looked up to his. She stopped leaning towards him and stood motionless in place now.


"I'm sure that day will come soon... But for now, let's pretend there no investigators. No one hanging over us..." Emmaline's voice dropped down low to a breathless whisper. The state she was in confused her and entrigued the doll at the same time. For once in her entire life, Emmaline was letting her emotions take over, and she couldn't decide if that was a good or a bad thing.


A sudden crash coming from the entrance way caused the doll to jump and step closer towards Lucas. A man's voice was heard, cursing loudly at the object he had tripped over. There were heavy footsteps, trudging closer and closer until he had entered the backstage room. He held his head, where a stream of blood began to trickle down. He looked a bit uncomfortable as he found a woman and a man having an intimate moment with each other. Emmaline glanced behind her. A man with a red shirt and torn jeans.


"Er, excuse me? I'm afraid I've hit my head and need a cloth or somethin'." He spoke to the two of them in a rough voice. The man examined the doll for a moment, trying to comprehend how flawless the woman before him was. Emmaline laughed nervously and let go of Lucas' hands.


"I-I can h-help you with that. P-please sit." The doll swiveled around and headed back towards the cabinets. The man took a seat, and as Cenzio had described, he indeed had a hammer in his back pocket. She managed to snatch up an old white cloth. With a shaky hand, the doll sat next to him and pressed the cloth against his wound. The white cloth was instantly tainted with red splotches.


"You alright, miss? Ya seem a bit on edge." The man grunted out, raising an eyebrow as she jumped at his words. Laughing nervously once again, Emmaline dismissed his words with a quick shake of her head. The doll flashed Lucas a glance that was pleading and somewhat fearful.


@Sungwonc01

 

[Sungwonc01]

(And thats why you shouldn't rp while tired )


Lucas watched the man for a while, deciding what to do. He noticed the hammer in his back pocket and Emmalone's fearful gaze. He finally put two and two together. He decided to assess the situation before doing anything too rash. He chose to employ a method that would make the man want to leave as soon as possible.


Namely by trying to seduce the man.


"Oh my dearest Lady, we all know your touch is gentle. But we all know that only a man can service the needs and ailments of man the best."


He plucked the cloth out of Emmaline's hand and gently nudged her aside. He gave her a look that seemed to say "I'm doing this because I care about you" and proceeded to nurse the red shirted man.


"My good man, how did such a frightful injury happen on yourself? Were you fighting off a pack of vagabonds? Or perhaps saving orphans from a burning building?"


Lucas leaned closer in an attempt to make the man ever more on edge.

"I don't need ta tell you anything because I did not mess up. I just got kicked out of the trailer area because I wasn't supposed to be there." He became more defensive as she criticized him. He quickly stooped over to pick up the panties from the ground and stuff them back in his pocket. Acting like they were just a handkerchief that he had dropped...because Lord almighty, the last thing he needed was ugly rumors resurfacing and getting him into hot water again. "Now anyway." He cleared his throat. "Have any of you found anything yet?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @TheWeirdPhilosopher @Kiyoko Tomoe


A sweet chuckle escaped. "I think what really intimidates them is my eyes. From what I've been told they aren't dull or clouded over like you'd expect. But bright and clear and unfocused. Making it look like I'm staring right through them or off in the distance carelessly." He explained. "I can focus them to make it look like I'm actually looking at things, but it is too much effort and gives me a headache. So I just let them be distant."

"Hmm you do have a point, I did really like it. Still you can wear that perfume but you didn't have to wear it to seduce me, you probably could have done that yourself my dear," Jorah said as he caressed Fiona and placed a kiss on her lips. "Let be jealous, the don't matter to me as much as you do though," Jorah muttered as he tightly held Fiona to his chest.


@Yuuki Kuran

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Fiona rubbed her head against Jorah like the kitten she was when around him. "Oh, Jorah, you silly boy, I know I could have seduced you, and without trying either. However, my furry companion, it was a pleasure to make things more exciting for you." Her eyes sparkled with his reflection in them. "As they should be, my darling." With one last kiss, she nodded off again. "As you wish."

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Alright time skip to end of performances! I know there was talk of me going bye bye but, I have returned just for the cirques. What I need to know now is. Who is all still here. So, respond to the OOC chat telling me you are still here. This way I can get a headcount and get rid of people who are not here.

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

TIME SKIP!!!! to get this baby moving again we are skipping to the end of performances. so get ready for the cirque after party!!!! wooot!


Nora walked around the cirque a bit and watched the others perform. Marius was amazing for a blind man, and Sayuri did amazing as well. She was wildly popular with the women since she was adorable and so cute. She messed with Paul a bit to by talking to some fans of her. She didn't care that were staring right at her, assets. Once performances were over she wandered over to Marius, wrapping her arms around him.


"You were amazing as always my dear Marius."


She hoped he had not forgotten about their little plan tonight to sneak off and go to a bar. She rubbed his chest like before while watching the crowds leave for the night.


@Axel1313


Paul watched as the last of the performers went, he thanked the crowd and walked back to his trailer, like most nights after the cirque he went into his office and left the door open so performers or staff could talk to him about anything. He took out the book of cirque performers and wrote down the new recruits. He also started counting out their earnings for the night. They made quite a bit of money and sold out almost every night. They also raked in the money via games and food. He wondered if Nora was going to tell him about the new member.





Sammy didn't even ask Sisceal why he had what looked like underwear. She told them all to look around some more. She watched the final performances and took notes. These people were skilled, and she was hell bent on coming back during the day. She walked out when the crowds dispersed and she grabbed Sisceal.


"Okay, didn't ask you before but, I will now."


She crossed her arms and looked at him, he admitted to being kicked out of a trailer of a performer and he had what looked like underwear.


"Who's trailer did you get kicked out of and why the hell do you have panties in your pocket? You didn't do anything you shouldn't have?"


She was course referring to having any kind of relations with a performer.


@Axel1313 @Kiyoko Tomoe

 

[Axeykins]

Marius was cooling off in a chair just outside of the main tent when Nora approached him. Why was it always more difficult to hold back during a performance than go all out? "As were you dear Nora. From what I could hear at least." He chuckled and relaxed back into her touch again. Cocking his head to the side a bit so he could hear her better.


"It was quite a grueling performance though wasn't it? Are you ready to go celebrate and relax in the bar?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood


Sisceal gave a little huff and crossed his arms over his chest when Sammy pulled him aside. He looked off to the side rather irritatedly as she questioned him, avoiding eye contact as long as he could before he came up with an answer.


"I got kicked out of Nora's trailer okay? Another performer caught me first, but then she came back and tossed me out." He strained to keep eye contact with Sammy. "As for the panties....It was dark and I accidentally picked them up...they must have been slipped into my pocket when Nora got a little...close. But I swear nothing happened!"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood
