Fantasy Cirque de Monstres (1941) second edition

[Sungwonc01]

Lucas smiled as he stood outside chatting with the fairgoers. He genuinely enjoyed showing off his talents and found humans interesting. However when he saw a well dressed woman approach him...


"Investigators." Lucas thought to himself, his blood running cold. "They would wear a suit and tie to a baseball game..."


Lucas ran up and gave off his most winning smile, trying to hold in his disdain.


"And what is such an attractive woman such as yourself doing at our humble cirque?"

Dá fú nī had moved back out from the tent after talking to Fiona and stretching for the performance. She had gone over by the preshow entrance to watch the crowds pile in. It has always been one of her favorite things to do. She loved to watch the over ecstatic children pulling there parents who were just as excited into the tent. It reminded her all of the time how much the cirque meant to her.


Normally, Dá fú nī would have no problem doing tricks and things for the families, but she had to be on guard tonight with the investigators. She was glad to see Lucas helping out to greet people though. Dá fú nī was about to smile and give him a thank you until she noticed he was talking to a woman. Dá fú nī suspected that it was an investigator and didn't want to interfere for she knew that would cause some more suspicion. So Dá fú nī turned right back around and did one of her handstands for a group of little girls.

Fiona rejoined the others. "It's time, everyone! The final hour is here!" She announced. "I am more than excited!" Fiona was now drunk, with a small flask of spider venom in her hand. Still, this always made her a much better performer. After all, it makes the act more dangerous! "Ladies and gentlemen of this cirque, prepare to have your minds blown." She began playing with a black widow spider, letting it outline things in its web in her hand for the people, though parents didn't let their kids too close to such a venomous spider. "Come now, don't be afraid. Or...perhaps I shouldn't say that. After all, this is the place where your fears come alive."

Will stared at Nora shamelessly. He wasn't particularly enraptured. he'd had enough of this kind of entertainment in his youth. But he was taking notes on Nora. Appearance and mannerisms were noted, as well as her performing style. "So how you want to do this Sisceal?" he asked," Good cop bad cop? Cover or undercover? Charm her? Bribery?"

~Aria and Zafarina~


Aria walked the fair grounds. She nodded and talked to the cirque guests. After she had eaten her fill of meat, the juices running down her throat and the bloodier the better. She had walked the fair grounds all the time before every show. She would avoid the cop looking guests. She walked with Zafarina on her shoulders. Many wished to pet the dragon she so let them do so. She had found her along her travels very rare animal indeed. They were called real dragons looked like them. They just didn't breathe fire. Zafarina was her little ball of joy and she sometimes used her in her acts. Today was one of those days. She was The Fire Princess Azalia on stage her routine today obviously included her dragon form she liked to incorporate it, the fire was all real and never really burned the audience. She had done that a couple of tines on accident. They had a stand in Dragon thing for when the cops came asking questions everything in her show could be explained if need be. She was not nervous but excited for her show. Her eye's hungrily eyed the crowds of people. Her mouth watered. Aria danced in the streets not giving any of her show away. Just saying please move for the tent the show be starting in 20 mins. She had danced her way around the fair,before she made her way near the front gates. She rolled her eye's as two other performers dropped next to her. She smiled as she talked "cool it with the whole wings and flying you two." She scolded the twins . She liked them at the same time disliked them.


~Zane/Jasper and Nikita/ Death~


Zane and Nikita both had walked the fair grounds and ate before they took there place on top of the sign welcoming people who walked in. "Hello and Welcome." They would say together, jasper and death at there sides as always. The spread their wings out to sell there act. If an officer asked they climbed up on a rope and these are fake glue on wings. They knew how to throw illusion. It was there act that sold the illusion. They saw Aria and smirked dropping next to her. She scolded them."Oh come on aria" Zane said"just a bit of fun is all." Nikita said they laughed and watched her walk away. They would follow her as they all made there way to the preshow tent. They were up right before Aria today,they were also annoying and almost never went any where with out the other. Zane was still shirtless and Nikita was still in a top that just covered her chest and a flowing skirt. They liked to show off there perfections as fallen angels.

"Oh how I do love opening shows! Don't you Palomar?"


"Of course! The more entranced the crowd, the more souls for us, eh?"


The two skeletal beings burst into a fit of rattling laughter as they followed the human doll from behind. She was still wearing the same outfit from earlier; a beautiful pink pastel dress that flowed out at the bottom, along with a bow in her hair to match. Cenzio and Palomar wore their usual outfits: fancy dress clothes with a slight frill. Cenzio's style was always a little different. He preferred a more 'feminine' look, instead of the manly look Palomar wore.

Spoiler

The three entered the backstage of the preshow tent, making sure not to be seen. It wasn't too often you saw two individuals with deer skulls as heads walking around. The three appeared behind Nora, and Palomar and Cenzio grinned their toothy grins, bowing in sync.


"Good evening, my dearest Nora. Oh, how marvelous you look tonight. The crowd will be simply amazed!" Cenzio exclaimed in his usual high pitched voice. The two straightened up as Emmaline took a seat next to Nora, beginning to brush out her long white hair. Her eyes were blank and glassy, but she still managed to smile.


"Ready for the preshow?" The doll murmured in a soft voice. Palomar and Cenzio began to distract themselves, and ended up peeking out from the red curtains into the crowd.


"I call the one wearing the blue dress." Palomar whispered to his skeletal friend, staring at a woman sitting down. As a response, Cenzio let out a gasp and crossed his arms across his chest.


"Unfair! That was the one I wanted. Oh well. I suppose the another woman will do. But if she doesn't work out, I'm stealing an extra at the end of the show as a finale."


Emmaline flashed the two a look, and they immediately quieted down, but continued to stare out into the crowd eagerly.

Nora stood up to stretch her back some more when suddenly, she felt someone grabbing her butt. She looked to see Marius.


"Ah, Marius please."


She spoke with a giddy flirty voice.


"Not right now, I have a show to do."


She tried to shake him off by shaking her hips.


"Come Marius I have a show to do."


She jotled slightly when she saw Emmaline enter. This must have been an awkward scene.


"Oh hello."


She looked at the two skeletal beings.


"Sorry guys, no messing with people tonight. We have investigators amongst us."


She hated telling others that, she knew some lived off that but, they needed to careful. She was nervous about her pre-show.


"A little nervous, this is a new routine for me, I finally found music that worked for it. Just hope they like it."


@Axel1313 @The Velveteen Rabbit


Sammy looked at the man with a skeptical eye.


"Well, I assume you know why I am here."


She wasn't going to ask him about the missing people, instead she wanted to ask about the higher up's.


"But, I'm not here to talk about the missing people."


She pulled a small note pad a pencil out of her jacket.


"So, tell me. What do you know about your boss Paul? And throw in anything you know about his fiancé Nora."


She decided to say fiancé Nora, even though she was not entirely sure what their relationship was.

Lucas yawned and feigned boredom.


"Truth be told? He dresses like a pauper. And his taste in music? Horrendously mundane. Honestly madame, it would make for a much better conversation to talk about moi." Giving a smirk.


Out of the corner of his eye he saw Edith quietly directing people into the tent.


Edith stood in silence as she watched the woman approach Lucullus. She quietly disengaged from the group and headed toward Paul's trailer. When there she lightly tapped Paul on the shoulder.


"It seems that our fruit basket of a circus has attracted some flies. I hope you have a plan for these annoyances."

Rin was having fun walking around the tent, smiling and waving at the kids as they passed, but not saying anything. She was silent as ever, her black bouncing as she skipped softly. She was closing in on the entrance to the tent when she saw someone peeking their head inside. She stared at the unfamiliar boy for a bit before getting closer, and looking though the entrance right next to his head, her arm barely brushing his as she looked around inside.


@Yonsisac

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

"Oh boo. Investigators always ruin the fun."


Cenzio muttered, letting out a sassy hmph as a response. Palomar plopped down onto a chair and rested his bony elbow on the table. He let out a sigh, rattling his white jaws slightly.


"Looks like our performance will be limited tonight. No soul sucking for us." He observed his jagged fingers in front of him. Despite his lack of muscles, the skeleton managed to put a visible frown on his face. Emmaline set the hairbrush down on the dressing table, and flashed Nora a gentle smile.


"I'm sure you'll do great. I wouldn't worry." She responded gently. The two skeletal beings nodded in agreement, flashing Nora toothy grins in sync.


"Besides, those brainless investigators don't know what they've gotten themselves into. I say knock em' dead, Nora."


"Literally." Cenzio commented after Palomar's words. The two burst out into a boisterous fit of laughter.

Jorah began his walk by the tents, every so often stopping and admiring the sky which had always interested him greatly. Sometimes he would eye an oncoming barrage of stares and always break the focus with his deep skeptically demonic like eyes. Sniffing up at the air he could smell fresh venison being cooked,"Of course it's my favorite," he mumbled. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted the whiteness of a notepad, it had always meant autographs or investigators. Turning his head he saw the arrogance of Lucas not causing problems as much as diffusing them. Stepping at most six feet behind the investigator he stared at Lucas's eyes, giving him the 'if you fuck up i'll literally eat you' stare.

Mark was looking inside...as so many people...as he would be distracted a Little as he sigh thinking its better to just leave them to do ot today without him,as he turns around he would see some one right infront of him,he was alredy nervius of the people inside and she just stardled him,he jump slight,and fall down on his butt,,he shook his head and would look up,how worse can this get?! he was enbarest at what happend,as he would amidiatly stand and look at her as he wave his arms infront,like if saying sorry,he hope he dint stardled her eather.wow...first day and he is alredy messing the thing up...wonder what else could happen.

[Axeykins]

"Oh! Woops! I'm sorry, I just reached for the closest thing I could." He chuckled. Giving her bum a playful little squeeze before nearly jumping at the new voice. His face turned bright red and he immediately pulled his hand away and to behind his back. A nervous chuckle escaping from him.


"Investigators?....they just love to pester us don't they?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @The Velveteen Rabbit


"Hmm....I dunno....based on some of the reports charming her could lead to some...unintended results." He scratched the back of his neck as he look towards will. "Good cop bad cop will probably just get us in trouble with that ringleader...Undercover would probably be our best bet. The least they could do is toss us out."


@theunderwolf

 

[IceQueen]

Rin looked down at the person who jumped but made no sound. He was almost, like her, not talking, though it seemed as if it wasn't his choice. She smiled kindly at him as he waved his arm, and she stretched out one of her cold hands towards him, smiling softly. She nodded, as if saying she knew, as she waited for him to shake her hand, which was cold and metallic.


@Yonsisac

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Emmaline blinked rapidly in confusion at Marius and his... gesture towards Nora. Her face turned a bright red, along with his as well. She turned her gaze away and pretended to brush her hair once more. The two skeletal beings let out small chuckles of amusement.


"Oh, my friend. We all saw it. No need to cover it up like a small child." Cenzio tilted his head to the side, and met Marius' blind gaze with his. Palomar picked up a pipe that had been left out on the table, and placed it between his lifeless teeth. He sucked in, and exhaled out. Huge puffs of smoke wafted out from his nostrils.


"Shut it, Cenzio. He's just having a little fun, eh?" Palomar let out a cough that rattled his skull. Emmaline, now clearly embarrassed at her two lifeless thralls, sent glares in their directions. Palomar practically choked on the smoke at her expression. Cenzio adjusted his collar nervously, and cleared his throat.


"But let's not fret! The show is about to begin!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands together excitedly. Emmaline let out a sigh of relief, and applied a dark red lipstick to her lips.

Mark look at her as she knew...ok atleast that was out of the way,as he would see her hand extend towards him,as sudently a Bright smiels pops on his face as he would Gladly chake it...Ugh...his body shiverd as wen you see in cartoons wen they shiver? that what could be seen,her hand was cold and metalical...he still had that smiel and chake her hand rapidly as he was like this,always happy and with a smiel,as he would look at her and would point at her and shrug...he seem to be asking a name,he would say his but he is figuring a way how to tell her.

 

[IceQueen]

Rin looked at him, cocking her head as he visibly shivered. She drew back her hand, keeping it close to herself as she added to the distance between him. She didn't want to make him uncomfortable, but honestly she made most people feel that way. She looked at him, who was almost asking her name, and she smiled softly, shuffling from foot to foot. She used her sweet voice to barely whisper "Rin." As she looked down shyly and away from the mute man.


@Yonsisac

 

[Yonsisac]

Mark look at her...Rin..Rim..Brin..spin...Yea still good rhymes he can use for the name,as he would nod at her with a smiel,as he would remove his Top-hat and would reach inside geting out a small pice of paper as he would show it to her and would say his name "Mark" as he would bow down to her with his top hat on his chest just like a gentle men...well he had the uniform why not act like it,he straight his body and smield at her,as the paper would change and now says "What you preform?"

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Fiona entered the performance tent. "Lovely to meet you, ladies and gentlemen." She stumbled drunkenly. "I promise you all that you will enjoy the festivities." She did a few acrobatic tricks all the way backstage, then began grooming her gargantulas. Even while she was doing that, she took vile after vile of venom from their fangs and drank it. "We're going to have such a good time. Remember to focus all your attention on the investigators." She applied apple red lipstick and pulled the top of her dress down. "I know I will be."

 

[IceQueen]

Rin giggled a little bit at his trick and curtsied, looking back up as she had her black outfit on, exposing her pale skin and she crossed her arms over her belly. As he asked her about her performance, she lifted the curtain of the tent and pointed to the trapeze ropes that where dangling from the ceiling, and then she pointed to her neck, showing that she would sing to the crowd.

"All right then. Stay cool and follow my lead." Will said coolly and put on his glasses and a warm smile. Then, he pulled out a pencil and put it behind his ear. Then with a quick step, he rushed over to Nora, note pad in hand. "Ms. Ravenswood!" He said chipperly, making sure to sound naturally cockney (Not exactly hard), " Will Clancy, London Times Newspaper. I'm running a story on the traveling circuses of Europe and I was hoping to ask you a few questions."
