Fantasy Cirque de Monstres (1941) second edition

"I'm nervous about tonight..." Sayuri said quietly. She was nervous about tonight; tonight, she was supposedly going to be going out and participating in the act for the first time. She already knew what she was supposed to do and everything, but she wasn't sure if she would do it right or not. She didn't want to mess up in front of everybody and ruin tonight's show, but she couldn't turn back because she really wanted to get out there and actually be known by the world as somebody, rather than only sit in the mirror maze while the rest of the circus had fun together.

As Kora pulled Nora away from him his slight under bite became a bit more prominent. Giving him a more pouty expression than usual. "Indeed....she does smell nice." He leaned away from Dá fú nī more to be closer to Nora. At least enough to whisper a response again. "I can't wait. Maybe we'll find some privacy away from the cirque tonight?" A sly little smirk decorated his face. He couldn't see Kora's expression, but he could sure sense it and gave an unamused expression in return.

Oh, come now my dearest. A doll should not be locked back up into her box.


A familiar voice appeared in Emmaline's head. The doll stopped her reading and set down the book on a nightstand. Once again, she found herself in the same place as before; legs dangling over the bed, and toes wriggling. Emmaline stared at the trailer door in front of her. The grip she had on the sheets tightened, and immediately the doll launched herself to her feet. Such a dramatic gesture was not something she usually did. Her glass fingers flew to the door handle and swung it open. It creaked loudly, and slammed behind Emmaline as she stepped outside. The cold night air enveloped her instantly. She found herself taking slow and soft steps towards the others, like an animal trapped in a cage. The doll began tracing her steps back, walking towards the food and voices. Until, well, she saw someone run straight into something right beside her. Emmaline's lips parted in surprise, and she tried to reach out to catch the woman. But it seemed she had beat her to it.


"A... Are you okay? Here... Let me help you up." She whispered in a soft, delicate voice. Emmaline outstretched her hands and gently wrapped them around Kaname's. The doll hosted the woman up to her feet. Her porcelain features were slightly frowned in worry.


"You aren't hurt, are you?" The doll asked quietly, looking the woman up and down. She didn't recognize this person, but she wasn't surprised. Emmaline didn't know anyone here very well anyways.

(I can delete things)


Sammy nodded.


"I am sure if we can get Nora to talk to us, in a nice manner, she will give us info in Paul."



She drew a circle around Nora.



"We need to find out how to befriend her."



She looked at Kiyoko who walked in.



"Well at least you can blend in tonight Kiyoko."



She didn't like her tardiness though. At least Sisceal was here, even though he asleep.



"Sisceal wake up!"



She looked back at the other two.



"Okay, who wants to try to talk to Nora and who wants to talk to the others?"

"Hmm! What?" Sisceal jolted upright when he heard his name called. "I was jus closin' my eyes for a moment....." He replied with a yawn. Stretching out and straightening his sleek pinstripe vest and gun holsters, quite a change from the saintly robes he used to wear a just a few years ago. They had managed to shift while he was slumped over his desk. "So....what is the plan of attack Sammy?"

Dá fú nī sighed as all the action in front of her rolled out. She had let go of Marius to take his clothes of the line and had been folding them into a neat little pile. When Sayuri came and the 'friendship' fear was broken up Dá fú nī stood and gave the clothes she was holding to Marius. "Marius it's not that I am uncomfortable with your dressing habits, I just don't want more little children seeing you like this." When Dá fú nī said children she had made hand gestures towards Sayuri. "As for you Kora I am just disappointed." Dá fú nī turned to look at Nora and Sayuri more directly. "Nora have a wonderful preshow tonight and Sayuri you will do great tonight as well. I will see you both in the tent later. Kora, Marius I will see you later too."


((So sorry about my disappearance I had another bad asthma attack to deal with. Also I forgot to put the picture of Dá fú nī's outfit up.))

Kora glared at the woman, snapping her teeth lightly as she pulled away from Nora. She snuffed softly, showing discontent as she flicked her tail back and forth and left. She wanted to stay and enjoy her time with something that smelled so sweet, but she couldn't, not anymore. Nora only wanted Marius, and Kora was determined to change that. 'I will one day have her.' She though, smiling as she thought of all the wonderful things she could do, if only Marius wasn't there to stop her, and if Nora wanted of course. She sighed and flicked her tail, running off towards the main tent with a happy expression, going to prepare her act.
 
Fiona realized that everyone was more or less getting ready for their acts. She had been so out of it that she didn't notice her two spiders get up in the tree with her. "Oh, Isezar, Dresca, we must prepare for the show, right? We have to make sure no one is injured." Fiona used her spider ability to climb down the tree with the agility of a contortionist. "Come along!" She told them in a singsong way as she followed everyone.
 
Lucas was startled as he had felt something or someone bump into his back. Behind him was a girl with a blindfold over her head. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there I..." Lucas' blood turned cold. He could sense something angelic about her. Lucas tried to avoid those from upstairs as much as he could.


But there was someone else who had helped her up, someone Lucas didn't know very well. "You...You are Emmaline correct?"



@Kiyoko Tomoe @The Velveteen Rabbit


Edith quietly shuffled behind the group that was heading to the big tent. When she arrived she carefully organized the things needed for the acts.


"Golden swords, slabs of meat, gallons of kerosene..." Edith was particularly careful around the Kerosene. She would be slightly upset if the big tent were to go down in flames.

Now a little less worried and more relaxed, Emmaline stepped back from Kaname to give her some space. Kaname seemed to be okay. All she did was bump into something after all.


"I think you're okay. I don't see any scratches..." Emmaline murmured to the girl with a smile Kaname could not see.


Someone stood a little ways behind the doll, and as usual, Emmaline didn't seem to notice until he spoke up. She swiveled around in surprise at the voice. Her crystal blue eyes blinked rapidly, trying to clear the confusion out of her gaze. Most people called her by her show name, Babydoll. It had been a long time since she had heard someone else speak her actual name.


"Y... Yes.. I'm Emmaline." She responded back to him, her expression soft. The doll tilted her head to the side slightly, causing a few strands of her white hair to fall forward.


"And you are?"

"Okay." Sayuri said to Nora, a childish smile on her face as she kept taking small bites from her cheese. She put the entirety of the cheese in her mouth after giving Noa enough time to know she was okay by the smile she gave, pulling the toothpick out as she swallowed the remainder of the cheese whole; a skill she'd learned from a thousand years of cheese eating. She covered her entire face with both of her hands, parting them and changing her face entirely in an extremely silly way. As always, she was trying to have a little fun and make a certain somebody by the name Nora laugh. She loved making Nora laugh, since it gave her a sense of being an actual part of the circus by being able to make somebody laugh.

Nora smiled when Sayuri made a face.


"Oh you! Come on, lets go see if that works on Paul! He is always so grumpy."



She stood up and put her hand on Marius's face.



"You should at least put on your show clothes."



She waved to the Kora as she walked away from the group. She looked at Sayuri.



"Paul was yelling about a new recruit. I wonder who or what it is...."



She spotted the new recruit, a young boy. She waved at him.



"Hello friend! are you the new recruit?"



She made sure to wear a warm friendly smile, unlike Paul, she would be easier to approach.



"Don't be shy! I'm Nora the one Paul was yelling for."

His expression softened to that guilty puppy on again as Da fu ni handed him his clothes. "I know.....I'm at least trying to remember have something on before I leave my trailer. Don't want another near law suit like last time.." He chuckled. His face reddened when Nora put her hand on his face. "Yeah yeah...... I'll go do that now so I'm at least ready. Da fu ni, Kora, Sayuri, Nora." His voice held a flirty tone when he said Nora's name. "I will see you later." He gave a little bow before heading to his trailer again.


@Icefox11 @Kiyoko Tomoe
 
Kaname was about to stand up herself, but somebody came and helped her up instead. "N-no... It's my fault..." Kaname said, having had quite the little scare when she suddenly ran into somebody. "I'm Kaname Ushinawa... Do you know where the-" She was cut off by feeling something slide off of her face. More accurately, it was her blindfold slipping down off of her left eye, revealing the pure white eye that lacked any light at all, a clear indicator to her blindness. She'd been told before her eyes were different than that of other people because she was blind, so her blindfold falling off was problem to her, as she thought that her eyes being different was a bad thing.


@The Velveteen Rabbit @Sungwonc01


Sayuri returned her face to normal, spinning around in front of Nora and disappearing for everybody else, with Nora probably not even knowing that Sayuri went in front of her and became her doll self. She had slipped on top of Nora's head and started laying there on her stomach, once more going unnoticed by even Nora with the actual moving of position, but Nora probably noticed the slight weight of the girl's doll form laying on her head. She was giggling on the inside, and slightly on the outside, about the idea of going and doing that in front of Paul. T would probably be either a hilarious reaction of uncontrollable laughter, or a hilariously serious lecture where she could fake cry about and get Paul yelled at.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Axel1313 @Yonsisac
 
Keving was looking around Tht Nora but dint go far from his area as he dint whant to wander around without Permision till he would hear some one call him,as he would look towards the Dirrection and would see a Lady,as she seem to be be some kinde of Dancer...the outfit she was wearing was a Giver,as he would her Nora...Nora ok got it she is Nor Dont Forget it!...wait who is Nora?...Dammite!..Ok Nora...and it seem Mr.Top hr was Paul...NEVER FORGET THAT!Got it now...ok names are in his head,as he would see she is kinda Friendly,as he would smiel as she says New Recruit,as he would Nod quickly.as he would get the back pack on his Shulder and would rech inside and get his Notebook,as he would Open it and write somthing in it and Rip the page out,as he would Aproche Nora and hand it towards her and it said in kinda odd Hand Writting and he seem to write EXTREAMLY fast as he just did that just as he got the book....did he even Write it?.

@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe
 
Nora looked at the boy with a curious expression as he wrote some thing down. She wondered if he was too shy to speak. She leaned forward and looked at the notepad.


Hello....blah blah...name is Kevin....oh he's a mute!....and red spaceman? What is he talking about? My head dress doesn't look-


She reached up and felt the doll on her head. She laughed and looked at Kevin.


"A fellow member....anyways Kevin."



She stood up straight again.



Let's go see what trailer you get! Also If you do an act get ready, Paul will most likely put you on tonight."



She turned to go to the trailers, she looked back at the boy.



"Come on! Our members don't bite....hard..."



She was trying to remember what trailers were currently unoccupied. She tapped her chin with her finger as she walked back to the trailer area.






@Kiyoko Tomoe @Yonsisac

@Kiyoko Tomoe @Lady Luna Ravenswood
 
Sayuri let herself fall back behind Nora, returning to her human form while upside-down, slowly floating in a slow backflip-like way to her feet, hugging Nora's arm while mostly behind her, starting to cry from having been called a red space man. "He's mean..." She pouted quietly to Nora, really not liking the guy at all. She kept walking with Nora and staring back at the new person with tears in her eyes. Sad as she seemed, she was actually plotting in her head how to get back at the guy for being mean and calling her cute doll form a "red space man."


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Yonsisac
 
Keving would see the Doll Turn Human...HE KNEW IT! HE-...wait what did he knew?...Damite he Forgot again!,as he would see the Lady be Crying and call him mean...Wait he mean?!....NEVER! keving would never be mean to anybody not even a Fly in the slightest way.He dint know what he did wrong...well there gose the Perfect score for him...especially in the first day,he sigh mentaly...Think...Think!

@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe
 
The lollipop suddenly floated up in the air and flew towards Sayuri in a large upward arch, spinning fast and then dropping in Sayuri's mouth, her swallowing it stick included. The same exact lollipop was somehow in her hand though, like it going in her mouth had never happened. She stuck her tongue out as she pulled her eye down to show that she tricked him, the lollipop now on her tongue with the stick in her mouth, not in her hand anymore. Well, she hadn't actually tricked him since she really was sad, but she didn't want anybody to know that she actually got sad from things like that. Nora would clearly know the whole 'tricked you' face was purely just a cover to hide her actually having been sad though.


Sayuri pulled her tongue back in, reaching behind her and swinging her right hand back out, spinning the lollipop in her hand like it were a baton and putting the lollipop in her mouth, sucking on it slowly with the stick outside her mouth this time, properly in her mouth. Sayuri always loved playing with things that way, and found it to be a nice way to entertain herself when she was alone, though it worked just as well while around others. Nora had probably seen her do things like that plenty of times in the past, but not recently since she'd been more locked up in the maze than usual in recent times. "Are we going to go have fun with him now?" She asked Nora, clearly referring to Paul and not the one who had made her cry.
