Fantasy Cirque de Monstres (1941) second edition

[Yonsisac]

Rin sighed. "I would really like to do this after the show." She said softly. "I don't, ugh." She said, holding her throat. It had been so long since she had talked this much in a long time, and she took a few moments to take it in. She coughed lightly and looked at him, sighing. "I don't want to hurt anyone."
@Yonsisac

he Understanded her and Noded with a soft sigh as well...if she dint whant to he could not Oblige her,a he would look at her as the paper changes and says "Ok...well after the show?"it says as Hurt anyone? he was far curius of her voice now as what could a Voice do,he needed to know so maybe if he got the chance to hear her personaly...maybe he could idscover if this is true.

Rin nodded softly, opening the back of the tent. "Speaking of which, we should probably be heading inside to get ready." She said, before she slipped inside the tent. She held the curtain up for him, waiting for him to come inside to the backstage area before letting it drop behind him and going towards the mats to stretch.

Dá fú nī rolled her eyes when Lucas commented about himself. "Yes yes we know how much you love yourself and thanks for telling her the information." Dá fú nī sighed and shooed Lucas off in the direction of back stage like a mother would. Dá fú nī knew he was just trying to have some fun, but Dá fú nī always cared to make sure everything went on time. It always kept Paul from being in a worse mood than if everything was going behind schedule or just totally screwed up.


Dá fú nī made sure that Lucas had at least turned towards the direction before she turned to the women investigator once again. With a warm smile and calming tone Dá fú nī said, "Well I can guide you to your seat now if you would like. Oh, just incase, the bathroom is by the refreshments area. Please ignore what he said about the bathrooms just now. Lucas can be childish and immature sometimes." Dá fú nī stopped talking and remembered that she was one of the last to perform for the night. "Let's see I don't have to perform 'til the end of the main show, so why don't we get you a seat? or do you need to do something else first?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Sungwonc01 (sorry if this is a bit repetitive I am still pretty tired from the previous night and classes that happened today)

 

[Sungwonc01]

"Alright alright alright, I guess I'll go play with knives and tell all the little kiddies to try it home."


Lucas strolled across the circus casually toward the preshow tent. He opened the flap to the tent and started warming up. He grinned at Cenzio, Palomar and Emmaline.


"How is my favorite porcelain woman and people named Cenzio and Palomar?"


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[Axeykins]

"Whoa there laddie. Bring back that enthusiasm just a little bit now." Sisceal chuckled as followed at Will's heels. "We've got to wait until Ms. Ravenwood is finished with her performance before we bombard her with questions. Wait till she's just leaving the stage and not around others so she'll actually talk more."

"Yes sir!" Will said, keeping in character with a massive grin that didn't quite reach the murderous gaze he was giving the man, "Sorry its my first story and I'm just so excited to interview circus folk I really look up to them it must be such a life of adventure." Will paused, realizing he'd swung so far into sarcasm that he'd looped back to sincerity. He did like circuses. "But don't think you'll get to ask all the fun questions this way! This is still my story!"

Emmaline looked up as Lucas walked into the preshow room. His words caught her by surprise, and she felt her face grow hot.


"I'm doing okay. A little nervous." The doll responded in a small voice. Cenzio and Palomar grinned at her reaction. They pulled up to both sides of Lucas and wrapped their bony arms around his shoulders.


"Oh, we're doing well. A little too well. But we have a favor to ask of you." Cenzio whispered in his ear quietly.


"Should we ask him now?"


"We should." Cenzio answered Palomar's question quickly.


The two skeletons flashed Emmaline a mischievous look before forcefully making Lucas walk away with them in their tow.


"You don't have a sweetheart, my dear Lucas do you?" Palomar asked in a whisper. Cenzio let out a dramatic gasp, adding onto the effect.


"Oh! But he must! He's a real charmer, don't you think Palomar?"


"He is. And that's why we need him." The skeleton responded to the other, completely ignoring Lucas like he wasn't even there. Then, the two suddenly leaned their faces closer to his. Their cheekbones were practically touching.


"We want you to... check up on Emmaline once and awhile." Cenzio grinned wickedly at Palomar's words.


"Yes, yes. 'Check up' on her. You know how she is. She needs a bit of spice in her life. Some... attention."


"Yes, and you, my darling Lucas, are the answer to our problem." Palomar added. The two were like snakes, completely devious and taunting. They unwrapped their arms from his shoulders and stepped away from Lucas. Their faces were plastered with grins, as usual.


"Consider it, or don't." The two skeletal beings said at the same time, loud enough for Emmaline to hear. Cenzio skipped back to Emmaline with Palomar behind him. The doll had an utterly confused look on her face, but the two skeletons simply flashed her taunting smiles.

Sisceal raised an eyebrow at his enthusiastic character. Will was sure laying it on thick with this one, but who knows. That just might work. "Ooooh don't worry. I won't steal your thunder with this." He crossed his arms over his chest and gave the guy who had stopped him a tired look. "You'll have to excuse the lad, he's a tad....high strung. The poster child for an eager McBeaver." He looked back at Will with a teasing smirk.

(Lucas x Emmaline? )


Lucas paused for a moment as if stopping to think. But only for a moment. In the end, it was clear what his decision was.


He smiled and walked over to where Emmaline was. Gone was the swagger in his step, replaced by a vauded confidence.


"Well as we were saying before we were so RUDELY interrupted..." Lucas gave an amused look toward the pair.


"But anxiety is normal. For instance, my Edith once got so excited for my performance that her little finger fell off and into a monsieur's popcorn. In fact he nearly choked on it until Edith punched him in the gut and said some very unladylike things to him." Lucas then leaned in close for only Emmaline to hear. "And between you and me, she kind of liked it..."

Sammy was frustrated with the group of performers she was talking to, they were of no help. She sighed as she tried to come up with another plan.


If I try to get backstage to the trailer area maybe I will get someone's attention.


She gave up on her group, their attitudes were very bad too. She acted like she was walking to the main tent then made a sharp turn and started walking a little faster towards the trailer area. She was hoping she could get back there without anyone noticing.


(@Gilmoregirl12 Sammy is trying to sneak into the trailer area)


Nora looked at Kaname she seemed embarrassed about the fact that the blindfold slipped.


"You have nothing to embarrassed about! If you don't want to wear that blindfold do. I think your eye is pretty."


Nora gave a warm smile even though she was talking to two blind people.


"cleaning duties? Oh I'm sure Edith will love the help and it seems I need to talk to whomever told you that was your job"


She knew it was most likely Paul, he was the type of guy to give a blind person a useless job. She shook her head as she remembered the two men that wanted to speak to her. She wondered what they really wanted.


"Marius be a doll and keep her company while I go see what these two men want. I have a feeling they are hiding something."


She stepped out of the backstage area and looked at the two men. She wore a neutral expression as she looked at them.


"Hello, I was told you wanted to speak to me."


@Axel1313 @Kiyoko Tomoe @theunderwolf


Paul looked at cheese girl, he wasn't really a parent type. Hell, he wasn't even an uncle type. He was like the weird family friend who you were sure murdered someone. He rubbed his forehead as cheese girl talked him.


"Look, I don't have time to babysit you right now. We have investigators here and I have a cirque to run."


He looked at Edith who was trying to get him to care.


"Edith, I got you some help. Although, she is blind but, I figure she can help you."


He a gave her a 'really' look when she hit him with a broom.


"Come now, don't hit the man who pays you with a broom."


He looked back at cheese girl.


"Nora should be done by now."

~Zane/Jasper and Nikita/ Death~


The twins had been bored in the prestage area. They made there way out of the tent and saw Sammy. They followed her as she went towards the stage then veered for the tailers. They looked at each other and made a be line for her. They stepped in front of her. Zane crossed his arms."where do you think." He started."Your going." Nikita finished. Zane started again."Main tent is that way." Niki smirked."no its to the left.." she said. "We are the death defying twins.,"Zane said."as well as keeper of grounds and choices."Nikita Finished."Go to the right my sister will lead you wrong every time." Zane said."No no no to the left much shorter route."Niki said watching Sammy. They pointed different directions. The Twins liked to cause mischief it was what they did."But, we can't let you back there." Zane said."Don't have the proper authority." Niki finished."so do you choose right?" Zane asked."Or Left." Nikita asked."Or niether."they say together and point back the way she came.

Sayuri

Sayuri jumped off of Paul, going back to her human self once more, but this time choosing to stay this way for a while. She made a broom appear in her hand and began hitting Paul lightly with it. "I get to hit you then! I don't get paid, so I get to hit you!" She said like an excited little child. Before Paul could do anything though, Sayuri dropped the broom and, like a child who was in a park, started running towards her home, also known as the mirror maze.


Instead of making it to the mirror maze, Sayuri ended up running right towards and into Sammy, her running too fast to really avoid. The small girl fell to the ground, but instead of feeling hurt or anything, she just looked up, confused for a moment about why she ran into somebody. "Oh, are you one of those investigator peoples Paul told us about...?" Sayuri asked, looking a little embarrassed for running into the nice-looking person. Her tone was still quite cheerful though, with Sayuri already back to a bright childish smile.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Sungwonc01


Kaname

Kaname became even more embarrassed when she was told her white eye was pretty. "I-I..." She didn't know what to say. It was he first time anybody's called her blind eyes pretty. In fact, it was the first compliment she's received in a good while. Maybe ten, twenty years. "T-thank you..." Kaname said, but it was too quiet to be heard. Not to mention, Nora had already started walking away by the time she said that. Kaname slowly put her blindfold back on, hiding once more her left eye and the part of the bandaging that was over the right eye.


@Axel1313 @Lady Luna Ravenswood


Kiyoko

After having stood there for a while, Kiyoko decided she would go check out some of the performers. Kiyoko made her way to the small tent, going in the back and seeing the two blind people. She couldn't really tell they were blind though, since she couldn't see the blindfold on Kaname, and just plain had nothing that would tell her Marius was blind. She looked around the backstage area to see if there were others there she could talk to, though instead of an investigator, she looked more like a person who didn't care how they dressed, and was part of the audience but wanted to get backstage.

( Why not, yeah? xD )


"Her finger... in someone's popcorn?" Emmaline murmured quietly in question, imagining the whole scene play out in that little glass head of hers. She giggled softly at Lucas' words. Especially after he told her how Edith punched the guy. Palomar and Cenzio stood not too far away from them, trying to contain themselves. It was clear what Lucas' decision was. The two skeletons collapsed onto one of the couches together, grinning wickedly.


"This shall be fun, Palomar."


"Yes, yes, it shall. Should we intervene?"


"Soon, my dearest. Soon. When they are closer-"


"In love you mean?" Palomar interrupted quietly. Cenzio clamped a hand around his bony snout and hissed for him to be quieter. Emmaline glanced behind her, but seemed to be distracted as Lucas leaned his face closer to hers.


"But how did the man react? Surely he saw the finger..." The fragile doll asked him, now more interested in the small tale Lucas was telling. Her nervousness seemed to vanish, as she was completely distracted.


"Yes... in love. And then, my friend, we shall intervene."


"But how?" Palomar asked in a very small whisper, making sure both Emmaline and Lucas did not hear them. Cenzio leaned in closer.


"Simple. We give them a little push. More confidence."


"Feed the flame with some gasoline?"


"Yes, my darling Palomar. More heat..." The two burst into a fit of absolute evil laughter, but stopped once Emmaline was now staring again.


@Sungwonc01

 

[Sungwonc01]

Edith paused hitting Paul just long enough to give him a hawk stare.


"Monsieur Paul, when one becomes as old as I do, you simply don't give a rat's tail about money."


It was until the door shut that Edith realized Sayuri was gone. "The little madame should not be out, especially with the investigators about!" Edith immediately went and rushed after Sayuri. She went around the camp grounds to find Sayuri but froze when she found her near an investigator.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe

 

[Axeykins]

"Of course dear Nora, I'll stay here with our newest member while you take care of things." He smiled happily. Turning his head towards Kaname when she spoke again. "Oh, so you are blind too?" He asked. He wasn't terribly sure about that until Nora had mentioned the girl's eye being completely white. "I wondered about that after you bumped into me like that." A little chuckle escaped.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe

 

[Sungwonc01]

Lucas raised an eyebrow at the skeletal duo conspiring in the corner. "What a lovely and proper bunch they are." He then turned to Emmaline to answer her questions. "In truth? The monsieur was a bit of a 'food enthusiast' and it definitely showed in his girth. In fact, if my Edith hadn't decided to grow out her nails she would have had to search for her finger in the toilet." Lucas again leaned in toward Emmaline's ear. "And don't tell her, but thats the deepest she ever went inside someone in centuries..." smiling mischievously.


 
@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Emmaline's face turned a bright red. She turned towards him as he leaned closer to her ear. Their faces were just inches apart now. The two skeletons watched them quietly, smiling in a mischievous way. They wanted to desperately push the two together at that moment, but Cenzio and Palomar held the urge back.


The doll felt her breath catch in her throat. She couldn't tell if it was because Lucas was so close, or because of the words he had just spoken.


"Really?..." She whispered, at a loss for words. The skeletons snickered giddily, flashing Lucas amused faces.


@Sungwonc01

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Fiona was getting anxious about when her turn would come up. She was tempted to find her boss and ask him, but he honestly scared her. Paul didn't seem like the guy you would invite to a tea party. That's how scary he could be. Hell, even if you did, he probably wouldn't come. Seeing Jorah getting ready, she took another few drinks and chugged them as she rehearsed her own entry that she had practiced earlier. "Ladies and gentlemen, I must ask you not to scream.." She whispered to herself, stretching out her body as she did her make-up. "This show isn't for the weak minded."

 

[Sungwonc01]

Lucas smiled humbly and thought to himself for a moment. He was in great proximity near Emmaline in this moment in time.


"Yes madame Emmaline, everything I say is the truth. It may not be half of the truth or even a quarter of the truth, but I never directly lie. And on that note, may I just say you look positively ravishing this evening. Of course you look nice all the time but today especially so." Lucas gave off a brazen smile. "And may I just say that Cenzio and Palomar look particularly sharp on this evening as well, the light really catches their horns favorably."


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[Taelonthesands]

Dá fú nī, who had been running after the woman after they had ran away from her, watched as Sayuri ran into her. Immediately Dá fú nī was back into mother mode and she ran to Sayuri with panick. "Oh Sayuri, Hanizi, are you alright? You are bruised are you?" Dá fú nī immediately changed her expression, to one of frustration after Sayuri asked if the woman was an investigator. Dá fú nī knew the woman was one, but she still thought it was rude to blatantly say it. "Sayuri dear it is not nice to put titles on people like that. I am sure this nice young lady just came to see the show and got lost." Turning back to the woman, Dá fú nī gave her an apologetic face. "Are you alright as well ma'am. I hope you did not deal much damage." Dá fú nī held a hand out to the woman.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood (I think I forgot to mention I was talking to Sammy)@Kiyoko Tomoe (I am just going to assume that my character knows you somehow. Also if you question her mothering, it's just her natural instinct.)

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Emmaline had to force her blue gaze away from Lucas. She let out a small, nervous laugh and smiled. Before she could say anything, Cenzio adjusted his frilled collar and smirked.


"Oh, Lucas. You really know how to put a smile on a skeleton's face!" Cenzio exclaimed while pretending to be embarrassed. Palomar somehow had managed to find another pipe off a table nearby. Streams of white smoke drifted out of his nostrils like a dragon. He laughed boisterously, shaking his loose bones.


"My dear friend. Give yourself some credit. Any girl would fall head over heels for you in that outfit."


"Pure sex." Cenzio added in a voice on the verge of breaking into a fit of laughter. He could see Emmaline's face in the mirror. She was biting the bottom of her red lip nervously, clearly embarrassed. Unable to control himself, Cenzio snickered uncontrollably and strode over to the delicate doll.


"But Emmaline... looks the best out of all of us. Doesn't she, Lucas?" Cenzio ran a bony hand through her silky white hair. It smelled of lavender, but the skeleton was unable to smell it. Emmaline tensed up for a moment and glanced down at the floor, trying to hide her burning face.


@Sungwonc01

 

[Axeykins]

Sisceal glanced over as soon as heard Nora approaching them. "Well....if it isn't the she-devil herself." He muttered just under his breath. His smile twisted into a slight grimace as he tried to hide a little smile. Not the best cover up in the world....


"Why, yes. " He turned on his heel to face her. "This enthusiastic lad and I came here to ask you a few simple questions Ms. Ravenwood." He pat Will on the back as he spoke. "You want to go first Will?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @theunderwolf

 

[Sungwonc01]

Lucas looked to the floor and smiled a little regretfully.


"I'm sorry madame Emmaline, I didn't realize that present company provided would take things that far..." He stood up and shuffled his feet a little.


"If my current attire is a little too...revealing we can always talk after the show. Preferably somewhere less boisterous. Or perhaps I shall stay?" Lucas broke out the puppy eyes and stared at Emmaline.


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Emmaline slowly looked up to Lucas, her big blue eyes staring into his. The red blush from her face was now gone, and she felt herself begin to relax. A small, fragile smile broke out onto her red lips.


"You can stay..." She murmured quietly, feeling Cenzio pull his pointy fingers out of her hair and plop down onto a chair that spun. He kicked the ground underneath him and sent the chair into a whirlwind of spinning, like a small child on a merry go 'round. Palomar let out out a breath of air clouded with smoke, coughing slightly.


"Has time stopped? When is this show going to start? I'd like to dance with my Babydoll." Cenzio exclaimed in a bored tone. Emmaline looked up at the sound of her show name, but said nothing.


"Lucas, can you dance?" Palomar asked him, letting out another puff of smoke.


@Sungwonc01
