Cirque de Montstres (modern times)

[Axeykins]

"Um...Nice to meet you Jasmine." Lucid smiled sheepishly. He didn't expect to be approached by anyone tonight. Let alone another one of the performers. Cautiously he reached out for the fried thing on a stick. He wasn't sure what it was but it smelled good.


"Thank you and uh, nice catch there." he chuckled. The feathers on his wings settling down.

(@Yuuki Kuran , you can join in here too! That's why I placed Lucid near the tents. P

"Thanks." Jasmine held her plate of fried dough and broke off a piece of the crush powder sugar coated masterpiece that she'd come to enjoy so much. "So, are you new to the Cirque?" Jasmine asked. She'd only been with the troop for a few years, but she thought she knew everyone by now. So a new body was a bit odd, but welcoming. She was glad that she'd gotten rid of the electricity in her earlier. Otherwise, that little accident of dropping her food might've turned into terrible news filling the camp about a boy being electrocuted.....Jasmine didn't want that to happen. And the inevitable Interpol investigation that would follow was a terrifying thing to consider.

Minori heard someone nearby and quickly stopped her rage. When she realized it was Lucid, she smiled. "Brother!" she followed the found of his voice. "Brother, are you alright? What happened?" she didn't see his performance because she was too busy panicking. "Did something happen to your power as well?"

 

[Axeykins]

"It's gonna be alright kiddo, just hold on tight okay? Listen to my heartbeat and focus on that. Know that I'm here and you can hear and feel me." He spoke gently to Kaname as he broke through the trees and back into the cirque. He was out of breath and his muscle were screaming at him but they made it. "Okay, we're gonna get you help now Laura, I'll get ye to the medical tent and the hospital called." He took in a deep breath and marched forward. "You'll be right as rain soon enough."

[Axeykins]

"Wait? What? Hold on." Lucid made some gesture to get them to pause as he tried to swallow a big chunk of funnel cake he had taken right as they began talking to him. "I think you have me mistaken for somebody else." He spoke as best as he could through chipmunk cheeks stuffed with sweets. "I'm just visiting my father. I might stay but I'm not good at much. I'm a scruffy little sarcastic shit with the reflexes of a dead fish. I'm good with organization, some legal stuff and finances?? Doubt they need that here though, it looks well off at the moment." He chuckled.

"Because I have to parade around making sure Interpol doesn't decide to kill you all off!"


Sebastian crossed his arms, his father never understood.


"I have to always assume to worst and jump to conclusions so I can do damage control! You cannot keep this place under control and now there is word of murder! God!"


He threw his hands in the air as a cool breeze blew through the cirque. A faint voice rode the breeze, 'calm yourself'. Again, it was the familiar voice of a former member of the cirque.


Sebastian lowered his hands, a curious look graced his face before his attention turned back to his father.


"Look, just behave yourself before I have to call in so many favors that I will owe people things until the end of time."


He looked at his feet as a python slithered by his feet.


"What the?"


It was an ancient snake, one that went by the name Danu. it was slithering around and seemingly appeared out of nowhere.


Victoria heard the young vampires remark and suddenly appeared behind him.


"Say that to my face."


She grabbed the young vampire's neck, her talon like nails brushing against his neck.


"back when lord Dracula was still alive we used to eat weaklings like you for supper. Don't tempt me to pick up old habits."


She didn't release the grip on his neck as she smelled fresh blood, it was the same from the forest. She wanted to make sure the young one did not do anything foolish.


"Someone is seriously injured, dying. Yes, yes. Tonight the air of the cirque reeks of blood."


@Axel1313


Mera lowered her head, she knew they would have to face trial but like her mother she tried so hard to delay that.


"Yes but, like the file on my mother said 'she would even bring in the Krampus to delay any investigation of the cirque.' so don't think I would act any different."


She let out a small laugh as she felt the breeze. It was comforting.


"Sometimes I get so mad at her then other times, then other times I wish I had known her."


She looked back at the tents when she saw a fast moving shadow. She tilted her head when she felt an eerie presence. She shook it off.


"Anyways John. I guess, if I am to take you anywhere it will be the med tent. They may bring whoever is dead or dying to there."


She gracefully walked towards the med tent, like her mother, her hips hypnotically swayed back and forth as she moved.

[Axeykins]

"You don't always have to do damage control Sebastian! We can take care of ourselves just fine! Most of the stuff you hear is either an accident or false accusations. I hope the records at least show that." He stood up to stare his son down. "Interpol can't do a damn thing without solid evidence anymore. You should know that." He shivered as his body suddenly felt ice cold. "You don't always have to worry yourself to death about us. We will be fine, we've gotten through worse without outside help. And doing it on our own is sure as Hell better then dragging anyone else down with us if something goes wrong..."


"What are you? Deaf?" Marius hissed as she grabbed his neck. "I don't need some dusty old curvă. Telling me what to do." He wriggled around as he tried to break free so he could stare her straight in the eye. "Go ahead and try to eat me! I've had worse try, I'm stronger than you think. My master made sure of it." He growled and struggled even more. "Let. Go....I'm not some weak newly born! I don't snap at the slightest smell of blood."

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Kiyoko

"Grrrrrrraaaa...!" Kiyoko shouted in pain, clutching her head tightly. She currently stood in the middle of a world filled by darkness, not a single other soul around. "Dammit...! I'm still not... used to it...!" She murmured while still hurting, shadows slithering all over her body. "You asked for this body, however, so you must deal with the consequences," She spoke in a completely different voice; one quite clearly that of a child. "I... know that...!" She yelled at herself, breathing heavily as the pain and dark world around her vanished, plopping her right back where she previously was; outside the cirque. "Damn it...! Just a little more, and I'll be through the period of pain...!" She spoke to herself once more, before walking into the cirque. "At least I complete my first objective this way..."


With Seb & co

Kiyoko had gone into a completely different state before she'd entered the cirque. Standing beside the group of Marius and company was a woman with blonde hair, light red eyes, and a young adult appearance all the while clothed in black. "Evidence, you say...? I'm sorry to rain on your parade, though we of Interpol do have evidence... A shame though, that I must be the one to bring this news to the table." She spoke, acting as kind as she could throughout her words regarding evidence of murder. "On that subject, however... Would any of you know where I could find the person named Kaname...? I require a meeting with her, you see, as it's unfortunately her that my evidence points to..." The woman added in, showing a photo of what appeared to be Kaname shooting a gun at Laura back there in the forest.

Minori rolled her eyes, frustrated with herself. "You'll have to forgive me for speaking out like that. I haven't been feeling well for a long time." She decided to ask the man what she'd been wondering for some time. "So you didn't see anyone backstage this evening?" Why was she acting out and unable to perform during the night's show? "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion. Are you enjoying your cake?" She chuckled softly.

 

[Axeykins]

"I'm here! I'm here." Anton panted as he got to the fellow Interpol agent's side. Covered in mud, leaves and small scratches. "I.....guh...I got the message! I'm here as backup." He took out his gun and aimed it at the nearest performer. He had been waiting for this day forever. "So, who do we take in huh? I've got cuffs on me if we need em."


@Kiyoko Tomoe. @TheRiverSings (since it's near Seb and Iggy. Atm.)

 

[Soviet Panda]

Once that ball of bad feelings was put inside it's rightful owner, Gareth stood up, offered his hand, and held open the door. "I have done what I said I would do. Now if you will kindly, I have other things that need doing." That was a lie, but she held very little interest for him now. She wouldn't break one of the links, and she was human so odds were she would be gone by tomorrow. And if she told others what he had shown her, they wouldn't believe her. She was at a circus, stranger things have happened a places like this.


But he needed his lie to look believable, so he exited his trailer with her, locked it up behind him, and headed off in a random direction. Thanks to the events in the main tent, he doubted the performances would resume until a few days later. Perhaps more, perhaps less. Honestly he didn't mind, it gave him more time to try and get these mortals to slowly break him free. He would be free eventually, he was immortal and had all the time in the world.

 

[Axeykins]

"I wish I could tell you but the only one I saw backstage was the Angel lady. And then my father and half-brother. I caught a few of the acts but not much." he shrugged. "But I will be here for a while so maybe I could help you find who you're looking for?" he smiled sweetly as he took another big bite of funnel cake.

John sighed shaking his head. Here he was, back to where he should belong and finding that nothing had changed. The cirque was still in trouble, people were still dying, someone was getting executed. It seemed that his erasure only delayed the inevitable for the Cirque. For just a brief moment he began to question existence and question free choice. He shook his head, deciding that in the end it didn't really matter. Free will or not, such a question was meaningless. He walked behind her, his eyes drifting downwards to her hips and butt as he shook his head. Jeeze she was as tempting as her mother was...He sighed. That was dangerous. What would he tell Nora if he fell for her daughter? 'Oh sorry, I know I desperately love you, but your daughter has an amazing ass that I couldn't resist'.


He shook his head. Definitely a bad idea. He let out a sigh as he followed her to the med tent. "So the real question, miss Mera. Is what do you expect me to do? Do you expect me to heal your wounded? To help you escape justice? What is it you are expecting of me?"

 

[Axeykins]

Sisceal dashed through the circus as fast as he possible could. Laura cradled gently in his arms. The med tent was just in sight when he was met with an obstacle. He barely got any time to react and get himself turned around before hitting it. He could have sworn it was a brick wall but unfortunately it was the hotheaded Gareth or maybe fortunately this time. Right now he was a desperate man and needed help in any way shape or form he could find.


"Gareth! Thank the Lord! For once I'm glad to see your mug. I need help."

And he was having such a nice wander to. Looking down, he sees that it's the resident day time statue. Oh, and he was holding a person. Her name was escaping him at the moment, but he could certainly manipulate the situation to his advantage. "Oh? It was blind luck that you ran into me, not this Lord. And you know my price."

 

[Axeykins]

"Lord or not I don't care about that right now. I just need your help ya big galoot."He huffed, he didn't have time for mouth from hothead right now. "I don't care about any price either, just help me. Laura is dying and I'm going to be a statue in a few hours and unable to do anything. I'll pay your price a couple of times if I have to, do something!"

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Kaname

"Ngg...!" Kaname sounded in pain, hands digging into Sisceal's shoulders hard as she tried her best to get through the pain that flowed within. "It... hurts..." She mumbled, her body feeling as though it were on fire. Her closed eyes had snapped open, before closing tightly as she clung tightly to Sisceal.. Many images ran through her mind. Many, many things. Thoughts cluttered her mind, memories flew by in her head... Everything echoed within her very soul; however, nothing was her own. None of these thoughts belonged to her, none of these memories of her own actions or experiences. The things she felt were horrid, torturous even, yet the most anybody watching her could tell was that her body was in pain.


With the images, thoughts, and pain all subsiding suddenly, Kaname's 'vision' had returned to her. However, she felt most definitely different. She felt something was off. Slowly releasing her tightened grip on Sisceal, she hopped off gently and stumbled a little moving backward. "I... I need to go somewhere... Please, save Laura for me... I can't stay to help..." Kaname stated, before wings unfolded outward. The wing which had been shot still showed itself as injured and stained by crimson, though Kaname still used it. She flew off quickly, albeit her wing still hurt greatly. She soon found herself out at the front of the cirque, where she was met with a complete stranger. "Wings...?" She mumbled to herself, those the last words she made before finding herself on the ground, losing consciousness.


"Kaname's been detained," The man spoke into a radio device. Kaname's consciousness completely faded, with the man picking her up and leaving the cirque completely.

(Kiyoko (character) post once I figure out exactly what's going on xD )

 

[Soviet Panda]

Oh that was perfect. He would break several links, but Gareth had a better idea for him. "Two link, and you sign a contract to work for me." One link was really all he needed, the second one would give him the power to draft the contract for Sisceal to sign. A trick, yes, but the chain allowed it. Holding an arm straight out, a chain drops down with the end links spider webbed and seemingly cracked. Those cracks in turn burning a dark red and orange color. "You know what must be done."

 

[Axeykins]

"Anything, anything at all. I don't care." He stood up straighter as Kaname left his back. "Don't worry dear. I'll save her...I'll sacrifice anything to save her." He inhaled sharply as he turned to face Gareth again. He shifted Laura around so he had one hand open and one still cradling her close. "Please hang in there Laura...I'd sacrifice anything for you....the cirque needs you and I do too, okay?" He hugged her gently and reached out to break the chains and seal the deal with the demon.

Cyril was just hanging around the circus' ground. He had been he a month now and he has yet to really find anyone he got along with. But he also hasn't really tried to get to know anyone. He decided to go see who he can talk to around the grounds. He could tell there was activity considering he was able to hear and see all the sounds. Cyril began to hum a very nice, but somber tone. "God, this place is so boring." he saw three people having a conversation and figured this is his chance to meet some people. He approached them in a shy way, but kept a stoic look. "Hey there, my friends. My name Is Cyril and I am new to this circus and wish to make some acquaintances." he spoke with a slight Russian accent. @Axel1313 @Yuuki Kuran @Kiroshiven​

Smiles


Singer | Trapeze Artist

​

Smiles finally walks out from her trailer, letting out the scent of vanilla mixed with raw meat. She felt like she has slept for days really. Maybe she had but no one came to get her so it could have been that long. The night air cooled her and she yawns stretching. As she warmed up her throat, she wondered with the others had all gotten into, even though she hadn’t been here for all too long, to her the performances put on much of a show as they did in the tent even when they were out of the audience's view. As she brushes her hair and fixes her dress, she can’t help but wish she had eaten more. It wouldn’t be pleasant to sing on an empty stomach…maybe she could look around for some food.

 

[TheRiverSings]

Mera stopped dead and spun around to match her gave with John's.


"I don't expect anything of you. Nope, nothing at all."


She looked around, taking in the scenery of the cirque. Her home, her mother's former home, and Papa Bones's pride and joy.


"The cirque always has trouble, its our curse."


She laughed slightly as she looked back at the man that had already saved the cirque's skin once before.


"So I don't expect anything, its like clockwork really. Someone messes up, police get called, Interpol finds out, everything goes wrong, everyone goes crazy, and then like a miracle things work out. But alas.......I expect our stream of miracles is running dry."


She let out a sigh as she looked at her garments.


"God....wearing my mother's rags......I sure know how to make a fool of myself."


She felt an arm wrap around her as she was suddenly pulled against someone.


"I HAVE TO WORRY!!"


Sebastian shouted at his father, not really a rare sight.


"Because you have no idea how much danger you all are in. NO IDEA!"


His face was red with anger his father knew nothing of Interpol, nothing.


"You say they can't act without evidence, well they will create evidence. Just so they can have a reason. They are a powerful organization and you have just scratched the surface of them."


He was about to say more when he got a weird feeling. A sudden urge came over him, he needed to find Mera.


"Mera...."


He quickly walked around till he found her talking to man but, not just any man. He quickly moved behind her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close. He stared at John dead in the eyes.


"What are doing here and why are talking to Mera?"


His voice was cold and mean. He knew of John, and he didn't want him near Mera.


@Airagog


Victoria tightened her grip on the young vampire.


"I don't take well to that kind of talk."


If it wasn't for a cloud of green smoke and a faint whisper she would have killed the young vampire there.


"Learn to respect your elders. FIlthy blood..."


She let him go but not without giving the young vampire a hard shove.


"Anyways my young skeleton."


She returned to Jonsi's side looking him over again. Carefully touching his exposed bones.


"I shall stay by your side until it is all said and done. It will give me an excuse to keep an eye on this young idiot over here."


She threw a cold glare at Marius and she continued to examine Jonsi for any damage.
