Fantasy Cirque de Monstres (1941) second edition

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

((I'm sorry for being so late... Alsoooo... Sisceal, hope you have a wonderful time while faded into the void known as content never to be spoken or typed about, because it may be the last moments of your life xD ))


Sayuri gave a short and quiet giggle, one that seemed to be that of somebody sleeping. She suddenly, but slowly laid herself on top of Sisceal. If he wasn't on the ground before, he definitely was now. Laying on him chest-first, she seemed to be lacking something important; a shirt. In fact, she didn't exactly have anything left on, knee socks aside. It was pretty dark though, so it wasn't very likely he'd be able to see what she had on. He'd still probably be able to tell though, with her knee placed between his lefts, and then the rest of her body on top of him.


@Axel1313 ((Aaaaaaaaaaand............ We're going darker than dark; blacker than black; more faded than, well, faded.))

 

[Axeykins]

((He is a lucky lucky man and poor unfortunate soul all at the same time.))


Sisceal giggled drunkenly before following suit and adopting Sayuri's new dress code himself. Discarding everything but his rosary to the floor beside them. Oh this poor poor, lucky man. There was no doubt he was going to have some fun tonight and Hell to pay tomorrow. The Hell bit no doubt coming from more than one person....


@Kiyoko Tomoe and (@Lady Luna Ravenswood for when you are finally free of homework)


((And now fade to the abyss!!))

 

[Sungwonc01]

Lucas shook his head, sorry that he meant Emmaline feel unwanted.


"No no, I didn't mean it like that. I prefer you stay actually." He made some room for Emmaline on the bench. He was thoughtful for a moment.


"Have you ever made someone you love, Cenzio and Palomar for example, incredibly angry?"


@The Velveteen Rabbit

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Emmaline slowly took a seat next to him on the bench. Her hands were in her lap, and she continued to fumble with her fingers nervously. His question startled her, and she glanced over to him in confusion.


"They've been worried before... but never angry." She murmured in response. Emmaline frowned in a concerned way.


"Have you... ever made someone you love angry?" The porcelain doll murmured in question.

((Just for a post cause it's been so dang long!))

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

(I know!!! Dx It makes me sad!!)

((We just gotta remain patient..))

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Time skip to the morning after the drunk party. Please note! A new character has been added see my CS post for details on Mr. Bones!


Weather: cool morning and slightly foggy.


Mr. Bones:


Rattle Rattle


A sound came from the closet in Paul's office.


Rattle Rattle BANG clank.


"Oh! Sorry miss."


The door opened and a broom fell out. A boney hand grasped the doorknob, it belonged to the most eccentric and mysterious member of the cirque. A Mr. Bones as he is called. The rest of skeleton emerged from the closet. A dark brown wooden pipe rested in his mouth. green smoke was bellowing from it and Mr. Bones chest. Somehow, this skeleton could breathe. He looked down at the broom and picked it up, hugging it.


"Oh Miss, you need to eat! You are as skinny as broom!"


He never made sense, and he never gave straight answers. It was always like you caught half of a conversation he was having with no one.


"Oh yes...I remember the good old days. Women looked like humans then...."


He was about to speak to his broom more when he spotted two lovers. He walked up to the duo, poking the man with the broom.


"What fasten two people yet, only touches one?"


His mix of language would be sure to confuse.


"I remember a tangled love yes, yes. I should have never tied the knot!"


this sent the skeleton into a laughing fit, he continued to poke poor Sisceal.


@Axel1313 @Kiyoko Tomoe


Paul


In Nora's trailer was a fast asleep Paul. He had stayed up into the wee hours of the night waiting for Nora. He always knew nights of drinking led to her not making the best decisions. As sunlight spilled in through a window he awoke.


"Where is she....."


He stood up as he realized she had not returned.


"If she...oh I will!"


He stood up and threw the door open, spotting a passed out Nora, face down in the ground, and wearing boxers a shirt that was not hers.


"NORA!"


He yelled at her, not in concern but in anger. He watched as she moved a bit.


"Come on! get up!"


He walked over to her and pulled her off the ground. She had a hickey on her neck, leg, and collar bone.


"Really, Nora?"


he slung the unconscious snake charmer on his back as he searched for the person who was her lover the night before. He was searching for the one man he knew could be behind this, Marius. He may be blind but, he seemed to have wowed Nora. Paul searched the grounds till he found the man. Passed out as well and, well not in his clothes. Paul kicked the performer.


"UP! Now! You have some explaining to do."


@Axel1313

 

[Axeykins]

Sisceal groaned and opened his deep red eyes slowly, the racket made by the latest addition to the trailer made loud enough entrance to stir him awake. Everything was a blur...what had even happened last night and....who was the. Skeleton?!? He really must have drank too much last night. "Wh...what? Who?" He replied groggily, stretching out a bit, but still managing to be mindful of his, at the moment, completely forgotten lover. Ooooh he was going to have so much to explain today as soon as he finally regained his senses.


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Lady Luna Ravenswood


The poor fool was snoring loudly, face down on the ground and...not exactly in his own clothing, when he was jolted awake by a sharp pain in the side. "Ohh...ow.." He mumbled into the grass. "Ce naiba Paul ?\\what the heck Paul?\\....there's no need to shout...or kick." He turned his head towards Paul to hear him better. His golden eyes barely cracked open and with dark rings around them. Even paler skin than usual made those stick out even more. He should really consider avoiding drinking at all costs if this was the result.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Sayuri let out a nice loud yawn, stretching out like she were a log or something. Hey eyes opened slowly, seeing Sisceal right next to her. "Ah... Good morning..." Sitting up, she noticed two things about the current situation. The first thing was that there was a skeleton in the room. The second thing, Sayuri was without clothes. "Ah, that's right... I went and got drunk last night, then played with this guy..." She said to herself, sleepily standing up. As she got up, she snapped her fingers and was suddenly wearing some clothes. To be specific, her vampire-themed outfit that had gone missing during last night's events. "That's better..."


@Axel1313

 

[Taelonthesands]

Daphne opened her eyes slowly as she started to wake up. It hadn't occurred to her why she was in her human form and last night's clothes until she felt an arm wrapped around her waist. She also felt a familiar breath on her neck. That is when Daphne remembered what had happened last night. Daphne turned slowly and faced Abigor. Taking her free hand that was not underneath her weight, Daphne cupped Abigor's cheek and smiled. It had been years since Daphne had seen his face and was somewhat unamused that his eyes were closed. She always loved how his golden irises would seem to glisten whenever she looked at him. With another smile, Daphne spoke in a gentle tone, "Rise and shine dearest."


@Axel1313 (I think this sounds okay?)

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Mr. Bones


Mr. Bones looked Sayuri.


"Ah, too much of the giggle water? Hmmmm yes, yes."


The skeleton did not stop poking Sisceal. He grabbed Sayuri's hand and tugged her closer.


"Hmmm...."


He let out a puff of smoke in her face, it had a slight floral smell to it, much like the cologne Thomas used to wear. He studied Sayuri with his empty eye sockets.


"Indeed, 2 cartons and chicken will do."


He let go of her and continued poking Sisceal, he leaned in closer to the poor man and pinched one of his cheeks with his boney fingers.


"Indeed indeed. Too much giggle water."


He looked back at Sayuri, it bothered him how he should know her. She seemed so familiar. He rubbed his chin as he studied her more. Not realizing all the while he was poking a human, and he was an actual skeleton.


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Axel1313


Paul


Paul sighed at Marius, the performer may be blind but he was sure the young vampire knew exactly that the kick was deserved.


"I have every right to kick you for leaving Nora in such a state."


He realized the vampire was wearing Nora's clothes, skirt and all. His face turned red in anger.


"Your pathetic, you know that? Trying to woo her with your helplessness! I cant get her to wake up and she is wearing, what I assume, is your boxers and shirt while your wearing her bra and skirt."


He couldn't believe that he had to babysit these two, especially Marius. He couldn't blame Nora, he did not want to upset her.


"She's covered in hickeys like you. My god, do you not care about her? Face down in the mud! She could have-"


He was cut off by Nora who had awoken. he heard her distinctive 'Shut up Paul.' He set her down next To Marius.


"I better make sure none of the others are passed out in the forest."


He walked away from the duo and made his way into the forest.


@Axel1313


Nora


Nora didn't remember much after the second bottle of absinthe. The last thing she remembered was walking home with Kora. Who as she looked around after when Paul set her down she didn't see. That left her mind quickly when she saw Marius in her clothes.


"Hahahaha!!!"


She was sent into a laughing fit at the sight of him wearing her clothes.


"Oh god! What happened last night!!!"


She still laughed every time she looked at him.


"Ow my sides!"


She fell over and continued laughing.


@Axel1313

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"That smell... It smells like Thomas..." Sayuri said quietly, having gone from mentally enjoying the skeleton's insanity to lost and confused, uncertain of a few things. Without warning, Sayuri was suddenly nibbling on a large piece of cheese that came from nowhere. She seemed nervous or worried about something, the entire room covered in a light layer of orange and yellow, like everything was turning into cheese while keeping their shapes and textures. A puff of smoke enveloped Sayuri for a moment, vanishing to reveal Sayuri in her doll form, still nibbling on the piece of cheese as she floated in the air. A sudden hiccup from last night's drinks caused pieces of cheese to appear all over the room, floating in the air.


@Axel1313 @Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Axeykins]

At the sound of a familiar gentle voice his eyes fluttered open. It took a bit for the memories of last night to come back, but once they did he swore this had to be a dream. He was staring at a beautiful face that he hadn't seen in so long. One that he thought he'd never see again too. "Good morning." He greeted her softly and with a sweet smile.


@rosamortelle


The poor man cocked his head to the side extremely confused by what was going on around him. He felt like he had gone through some serious head trauma rather than a wild night of drinking and other frivolous activities. "Will ya stop poking me..." He grumbled irritatedly and grabbed their wrist to get them to stop. That is when he felt his heart leap out of his chest as an entire arm came off and he finally began to realize that this skeleton from the closet was real. "Wha?!?" He yelped and chucked the arm back at it and sat up quickly. Snatching his discarded clothes from last night and pulling themmup over his naked behind as he realized that as well. What on earth happened last night?!? Where was he and who were these two exactly?!?


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Lady Luna Ravenswood


"Oh calm down....she's a big girl... And I ended up face down in the mud too you know?" He grumbled and pushed himself up to a sitting position. He could already feel the pounding headache of a monster hangover. "And don't you DARE call me helpless....you know I am far from helpless." He snapped. There was nothing he hated more than being called helpless or being accused of using helplessness to woo anybody. "You should be happy that she at least has clothes on too!!....cur..." He shouted after the ringmaster as he left, well...all except the last word. Brushing his hair back out of his face he then looked over at Nora. Who was having a laughing fit.


"Are you alright there?" He chuckled. "What happened last night that has brought about his laughing fit?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Nora looked away from Marius to answer his question, but she decided to mess with him a bit,


"Ohh, I guess you want to be a belly dancer now! I must say though, the skirt isn't your color and doesn't compliment your ass that well,"


She tried to stand up but, fell.


"Oh, well I guess, I won't walk today."


She sat up and looked at Marius. The cool morning fog making the outside comfortable for once.


"Say, do remember anything about last night? Last thing I remember is walking back with Kora and well, I don't know where she is."


She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. She couldn't remember the last time she wore a proper shirt.


"Shirts are more comfy than I remember."


She went to return it to Marius but, realized she was just wearing a shirt. and nothing under it.


"Well, they are comfy but, I still like wearing my show outfits...."


@Axel1313


Mr. Bones snatched his arm and pointed it at Sisceal.


"And on this day I do declare Mr. James an enemy!"


He needed help in returning his arm back to its socket. He looked at Sayuri.


"Tell me doll, where is the one who walks with snakes?"


He was talking about Nora, the times he did fall apart he always went to Nora, never Paul. Always Nora, he could never put a finger on why he preferred her to Paul. He looked back at Sisceal.


"Mr. James, first a chicken now a bird. I do declare you are most evil."


He took a deep drag of his pipe and green smoke flowed from his chest. The room was filling with the sweet tobacco, it wouldn't affect cirque members, humans on the other hand. Every human reacted differently to the green smoke.


"Hmmmm"


He stared at Sayuri again, trying to guess where he knew her from.


"Indeed, Indeed."


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Axel1313

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Older sis Nora?" Sayuri asked. "I don't know" Sayuri said, tilting her doll head to the side and holding it with one 'hand'. "Ah, your arm came off." Sayuri said, floating over to Bones and grabbing the arm with both hands. She placed the bone up to the socket, then with one push, it popped back in."There you go...!" She dropped down to the floor, landing on her back before going into her adult human appearance once more. "For some reason, you remind me of papa Thomas..." Sayuri said quietly, mostly just thinking out loud. The whole thing had her thoughts going, her now thinking about how Thomas would react to seeing her as an adult. Would Thomas be proud of who I'm starting to become...?


@Axel1313 @Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Axeykins]

"What the? Are you-" He decided not to finish that question as it seemed obvious. "Nevermind that...My name is not Mr. James!" He coughed as the smoke filled the room and his lungs. It made his head fill funny.... like it was drifting in a fog. "And I am not a chicken or bird you loon...I'm a...a..detective!" That took him longer than it should have to remember..


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Lady Luna Ravenswood


"Huh??" Cocking an eyebrow he felt from his chest down to see what she was talking about. There was a....bra and and of course a skirt. As she had quite clearly pointed out. "Maybe I am, and what are you talking about? My arse is fine as Hell in this. I think you're just jealous that I can pull this off better than you." He joked.


"I have no clue what happened last night....All I remember is. Walking back with you and Kora? Nothing past that really...it's all blank to me. Well...more blank than usual." He chuckled. "We should probably go change. As much as I love your style, I do love dry clothes even more.


@Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Taelonthesands]

"I do hope you slept well," Daphne said as she removed her hand from Abigor's cheek and placed it delicately on the bed the two were lying on. Daphne still had to convince her self that she wasn't dreaming and that Abigor was with her once again. She had cherished the night they had spent together, listening to every detail the each of them told in their stories from when they were separated to now. She also couldn't wait to spend more time with him and hopefully introduce him to her blood family, even though he would never get to meet her closest blood relative Thomas.


@Axel1313

 

[Axeykins]

"Better than ever darling." That sweet smile of his widened. He moved his free arm along the bed until his hand found hers. Wrapping his large hand around her's gently. "I haven't slept that well in ages. I hope your rest was just as good." He laughed lightly. It really had been forever since he had slept so well. Ever since he lost her he had hardly ever gotten a good night's rest and now...now she was not only alive, but right in front of him.


@rosamortelle

 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

As the moon began to fade into the pinkish sky, the sun rose over the horizon. It shone through Emmaline's trailer window and directly onto her porcelain face. But it didn't seem to wake her. She lay sound asleep, breathing softly. The cirque was quiet at first, but soon people came to life, one at a time.


The sound of Cenzio's usual piping voice echoed throughout the decorated trailer suddenly. They both seemed to already have awoken from their sleepless slumbering. The cackles and snickers coming from the mischievous duo awoke the sleeping doll. It was like waking up to a cup of steaming hot coffee waiting on your nightstand, the bittersweet scent drifting just under your nose. The sound of their voices were not as rewarding as a cup of coffee, but comforting to the doll. It reassured her she was not waking up alone in this world.


She peeked out from underneath her long black eyelashes sleepily before opening her eyes. Seemingly already aware, Cenzio and Palomar stared at her happily with their usual devious grins.


"Good morning, my dearest!" Cenzio exclaimed, leaping to his feet and throwing his hands into the air like he was introducing a celebrity. Palomar exhaled a puff of thick smoke from his pipe.


"Sleep well?"


She smiled and hung her legs over the side of the bed.


"Yes, very well." Emmaline responded in a gentle voice. Cenzio collapsed onto the bed next to her and hugged her lovingly. He let out a high pitched laugh and tightened his embrace.


"That's wonderful!"


"And surprising." Palomar added shortly after with a grin. Emmaline looked up to the smoking skeleton and smiled almost sadly towards him and his words.


"It was a rough night..." She murmured. Her mind flashed to Lucas and she wondered how he was doing. Cenzio saw her sudden change of nature and frowned deeply. His expression changed out of nowhere.


"Well, today is a new day! A fresh start!" Cenzio yelled out happily. Emmaline giggled softly and stood up. They always knew how to put her in a good mood. It wasn't long before the three were dressed, and out of the trailer.


(I wasn't getting notifications But I'M SO GLAD THIS IS STARTING BACK UP AGAIN!!!)

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Mr. Bones looked at Sisceal.


"Hmm? would you prefer to called by your first name Mr. James? If so pray tell what it is!"


He looked at Sayuri who had put his arm back in its socket.


"Ah, yes, my good arm."


He tilted his skull to the side as she said that he reminded her of a Thomas fellow.


"Don't know the man....was he one lump or two?"


When Sisceal mentioned that he was a detective it was like a switch went off. A large cloud of green smoke emitted from the skeleton.


"Oh lord I did say you was evil Mr. James and I have proof!"


The crazed skeleton walked out of Paul's trailer.


"Proof! proof proof proof proof. Most evil abound I have proof!"


He ranted on till he heard a familiar voice call out to him.


Nora


Nora rolled her eyes at Marius's comment.


"Oh please, it would look better in something tighter....trust me.."


She was not pleased that he did not remember much of the night before. She sighed as she looked at the sky.


"Maybe it is best? I don't know, usually I like remembering who I had some extra fun with...."


She was about to say more when she saw Mr. Bones ranting about evil.


"Great, I wonder what has Mr. Bones so worked up now."


She stood up, still not on stable ground but her slight swaying was not too noticeable.


"Mr. Bones! What is wrong?"


She slowly walked towards the crazed skeleton.


Nora and Mr. Bones


Mr. Bones walked towards the demon.


"The change of ware suits you snake walker."


Nora shook her head.


"No no Mr. Bones, who were you talking to in there?"


The skeleton laughed and let out a puff green smoke.


"A doll and an evil man of course! Murder a foul!"


Nora didn't like his answer, she knew he meant Sayuri when he said doll but evil man? She walked into Paul's office to see


"Hello lover boy."


Mr. Bones followed her laughing and pointing and Sisceal when Nora called him lover boy.


"Oh Mr. James! She sleeps with more men than I have fingers! you poor bird...."


Nora waved her hand at Bones.


"Sush."


She looked back at Sisceal.


"Care to explain what you are doing here? Please hurry though, I intend to kick you out very soon."


She caressed his cheek, knowing her touch made him uncomfortable.


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Axel1313

 

[Axeykins]

"What?! No! What are you even goin' on about! I'm not evil you fr-" Sisceal wheezed as the large cloud of smoke came from the skeleton. It was near suffocating and instantly made him feel like his head had been plunged under water. Forcing him to stop mid-word just to gasp for air.


"You really think so?" He chuckled and tried to adjust the bra. It was just a tad too tight at the moment. "I don't think you have to worry much about remembering what exactly happened last night...considering we swapped clothes and ended up passed out on the ground is a fairly decent hint to what happened..." Although, he would have liked to know the details....who knows what other trouble they got into. He was waiting for Nora to continue on when a familiar voice popped up.


"Hm?" He cocked his head to the side curiously when he heard Mr. Bones approach, talking about an evil man in the cirque? What was all this about? Marius stood to follow them. Quite uneasy on his feet, but at least there were things nearby to feel his way around with. "Who is he going on about Nora?" He was confused at this point, he didn't recognize the voice that responded at all.


"I...I...." Sisceal's face began to take on a lovely shade of red, just like the first time he had encountered Nora like this. It was more due to the embarrassment of the situation this time though. It would have been much worse if his mind wasn't in such a fog from the smoke he inhaled moments ago. "I don't know.....I can't remember anything...where am I even?...this isn't the office....or my apartment...and. Where are my clothes?"


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

"Geez, Nora..." Sayuri said, having gone back to her adult form. Placin one hand on Nora's shoulder, she gently pushed as to let Nora know to step away from Sisceal, but didn't actually move Nora herself. "You may be the older and more experienced one, but that doesn't mean you can steal my first away from me." She had an expression of frustration, though she was blushing slightly about having to even mention the events of last night. Still, she could at least tolerate having to say it since it was to Nora, who'd hopefully be proud of her.


"And you, smokey... Quit spreading that smoke everywhere. That smoke seems to be messing with my new boyfriend's mind or something." Sayuri noticed Sisceal's clothes sitting off to the side, so she had the clothes fly over into her hands. "Here are your clothes." Sayuri said, kneeling down next to Sisceal and handing to them. As she did so, she gave him a kiss on the cheek before standing back up. "Now then... I'll be taking Sisceal over to my trailer now, since Paul would probably kill me and him if he were to show up..."


@Axel1313 @Lady Luna Ravenswood

 

[Lady Luna Ravenswood]

Nora


Nora glared at Sayuri, her demeanor changed. It was like she had embodied Paul's scary attitude. Sayuri had slept with the enemy and, was trying to protect him. She would not tolerate such behavior. Not now, not ever.


"Sayuri, get out now."


She moved closer to Sayuri her eyes flashed a deep red color. Showing that the anger was making her show her demon side. It was rare for Nora to act in such a way, and when she did people ran for the hills, even Paul would run.


"That man, is our enemy, I am not letting you be with him nor am I letting you take him anywhere."


She turned to Sisceal, a devilish grin graced her face. She was going to mess with his head, so no one would believe what he said. All of this would be like a crazed dream.


"Sisceal is it? Well now, you just made a grave mistake."


She looked at Mr. Bones, who was still smoking his pipe.


"Mr. Bones, your pipe, I need it. Also, make sure Sayuri doesn't come in okay?"


The skeleton reluctantly handed her his pipe, and walked out.


"Come on doll! Evil Mr. James is in for a treat!"


He walked out of the trailer and Nora took a drag of the pipe. Blowing green smoke out. The tobacco had a slight calming effect on her.


"Now Mr. Sisceal, just punishment awaits. Don't worry, its all a crazed dream."


@Kiyoko Tomoe @Axel1313

 

[Axeykins]

"A little harsh aren't we?" Marius teased. "But I supposed it is necessary with the amount of heat we've had from his kind lately. So have fun with lover boy there. I'll make sure Sayuri stays out." He shut the door to the trailer behind him and stood in front of it. Chuckling to himself at the thought of what Nora had in store for that detective.


"Huh?" Sisceal had only just managed to wiggle into his pants when she said that. "Wh....what are you talking about? Punishment? But I didn't do anything....I think?" He was still so confused, with no help from that green smoke making him feel funny either. "Just...just let me go! I won't do a thing..."


@Lady Luna Ravenswood @Kiyoko Tomoe
