Supernatural creatures trying to make a -mostly- honest living in society, by running a circus, using their *talents* to delight and amaze.
Several of the monsters have been there for several years, and the circus is the closest theyve ever had to a family, but newcomers are welcomed wherever the circus travels, as long as they have some talent for performance, stagecraft, or construction, and are willing to supress anymore animalistic nature they may have.


The circus isnt just a front for...

A gentle spring breeze swept through the outskirts of a modest town in Swindon, soft charcoal-grey stone houses and meandering cobbled pathways making up the still sleepy town.


It wasnt exactly the largest of potential audiences the circus had ever settled by, but it was nice to have a slightly less hectic town to settle in to get everyone into the swing of things after a resting winter, before the spring fully got in gear with warmer weather and they visited the larger cities and more critical crowds.


It was a little easier to excite someone who's most thrilling day to day routine was nipping to the local shops, rather than, say, an audience in Vegas, after all.


The town was even quiet enough for the circus inhabitants to wander through the village in the day, as long as they didnt cause too much of a commotion.


The circus tents interior was still being set up ready for the grand opening in a days time, and posters being strewn throughout the town.


Not that it was likely anyone could miss the vast, brightly striped tent dominating the landscape, stone circles and relics of the past dwarfed in comparison in the valley it sat in, surrounded by hills and enbankments.


A collection of old but well maintained trailers and wooden caravans smattered the area around it, banked right on the junction between the town itself, and the open expanses of pasture.


There was an almost palpable excitement buzzing through the usually dreary village, for the circus was in town.


---


Florence walked along the bridleway, and up to the land her odd little family was currently occupying.


She felt a slight twinge of guilt as she walked past the sheep they'd temporarily displaced, but they didnt seem all that bothered by it.


Pausing for a moment, she adjusted her headscarf and watched the sheep grazing, on her way from handing out fliers.


On inspection she looked entirely human, though if you were to get very close you could hear the gentle trickle of water flowing coming from her headscarf.


"Thanks for letting us rent out your land, mister sheep." She said in her youthful, melodic voice, leaning on the fence and contemplating the wooly animal. "Dont worry, we wont damage your grass or anything."


Carrying on her way, she passed through the tents large open front. The red and yellow stripes would look garish almost anywhere else, but for her they were the colour of home, and in a circus something about it just seemed right.


People were busy constructing the stage and setting up seats, and for all the world the tent looked like an ordinary circus.


Or at least, it did from this side.


Walking to the back of the tent, she passed through it's folds, and the soft fabric accepted her as belonging there.


If anyone curious decided to pass through them, they'd simply find themselves at the back of the tent, with a fairly large chance of their foot ending up in sheep droppings, what with the environment they were in.


A joyous grin sprang to her face as she walked into their cosy hidey hole, partitions of curtains bordering off rooms on one side, an open food court and various forms of entertainment covering the other.


Now this, more than anywhere else she'd ever been, this was home.


Pulling off her headscarf and placing it into a pocket on her handmade dress, she took of her shoes with distaste showing on her face and flinged them on the floor by the edge of the room.


She did so hate having her feet covered, but people tended to give funny looks to someone wandering around on stone floors with bare feet, and she obediently followed the rules that they werent supposed to draw undue attention.


Glancing around, she surveyed the room to see if anyone was doing anything interesting, or needed help.

 

[Chiryu]

Malane curiously roamed the land where they were staying, in her outfit and cape, inspecting the freshly grass and plants to see if there was anything of interest in it for her she could take. It was something she always did the first day on a new piece of land. This way she would keep up her strange inventory of herbs and other special things. For the stranger things though, she'd sometimes have to go through a lot more trouble.


As she roamed the field, she did not only try to spot new interesting ingredients. She would also just enjoy the new view. It was one of the many advantages of being a circus carny. She got to see all kinds of different sights. And it never got boring, because they'd always travel to someplace else again eventually. She quite enjoyed this way of living. Because they had a nice safe and comfortable home, the circus, who’s surrounding's only continuously changed.


And looking at the tent always made her feel oddly at home. She had never felt more accepted and happy in her life, than she did in that goofy looking place of mysteries.


Malane continued to search the land and dream about her life, until the wet and sticky warmth of dung accidentally hit her feet. Even though she was a brewing witch who had to deal with ingredients like toad toes, she still was not comfortable with the idea of sheep feces finding its way onto the bottom of her shoe. Disgusted, she groaned, being taken away from that wonderful landscape in her head, back to the harsh reality of this dung filled piece of land she really was in. She sighed deeply trying not to get upset and without having found anything, she gave up on her little searching quest.


As she walked to the entrance of the tent, she tried to rub the remaining pieces of feces off on the grass, getting most of her shoe clean. When she entered the tent, her attention was suddenly reverted to the people working and setting up the stage. As she walked on, stopping in the middle of the stage, she looked around and cheerfully smiled, forgetting about the prior incident. This is where it was to happen. Their show! Their moment of glory where they will radiate the joy in people’s hearts. It made her happy thinking about that. And after a short moment of enjoying the glory that was to be bestowed upon them later here, she decided to walk further, to the back of the tent.


And eventually she reached the place where only a few got the glory to gaze upon. The few selected performers of this circus. She entered this part of the circus, dropping her coat immediately on the table. It nearly felt like a butterfly popping out of a cocoon, and with her newfound joy, it only seemed just the more that way. And that’s where she saw a familiar face. “Goddes of the element water!” She exclaimed joyfully as she walked up to Flow. “How beautiful was the sound of the rooster that sang you awake?” She asked, maybe a bit too happy to see someone else awake (She is simply asking how Florence is doing and if she slept well).

 

[heysappho]

Vineres hugged her arms, delighted by the progress everyone was making. She had just finished distributing drinks to many of the workers who had been waking up, and was making a sorry attempt at covering her face with the blue and grey scarf her mother had sent her. The smell of herbs wafted wherever she walked, as her mother had stuffed the ends of the scarf with the contents for a warmth charm. Though the spell had since worn off, the smells of home still seemed to make Vi's heart melt.


The stalls had been cropping up everywhere throughout the days as the earth was buzzing in anticipation for tomorrow. While she enjoyed the brinsk air, the vampyre had grown tired of the constant work. Luckily all of her chores had been finished long ago.


As she mad her way to the food tents, the blue hair of a certain Naiad caught her eye as it slipped into the common's tent, and the voice of a witch she knew caught her ear.


"Hello girls." She said, her accent still thick after all theses years. Vineres had what could quite possibly be the world's biggest grin spread on her face. The scarf had since been unraveled from her face as the warmed air of the tent thicked to her bones.


"Seem's you both have awoken early as well."

 

[tem502]

"Hullo, Malmal!" Florence said sunnily as her blonde haired friend came over to her, a smile on her face, hair flowing faster in the presence of a friend.


"I've told you Im not a Goddess before Mally. I have a Mom and everything."


Her bond with people tending to run fairly deeply, so she was one of the few people who usually understood exactly what Malane was saying, even when she was using her slightly dreamy manner of describing things, so she immediatly answered with regards to her sleep.


"Someone almost knocked my bath over and spilled me, but after that I slept fine, thankyou. I wont ask how you slept because you always seem to sleep well." An excited tone entered her voice, amazed by things most people would find mundane, and her accepting nature lead her to occasionaly mix up legitamate lore with fairytales if sometime told her it whilst they were feeling mischevious. "Have you been into the village? Some of the roofs are made of straw, instead of tiles, but it hasnt been blown away by a wolf or anything."


She turned as an instantly recognisable accent floated to her, a one of a kind mix of Romanian and French, and if possible the warmth in her expression got even more pronounced.


"Hey Vampy!" she exclaimed, moving forward and hugging them both tightly at the same time and burying her head in each of their shoulders in turn, closeness to those she loved being a fundamental part of her nature and repeating anytime she'd been away from someone anything longer than a few hours. "Did you sleep well too? No one trying to stake you in your sleep?" She said teasingly, with the slightest hint of mischeif in her otherwise completely innocent smile.

 

[Mendaian]

Jack had rolled out of his sleeping bag with a groan, he was still in his skeletal form, and would begin to scratch his head. " Its way too early for this cr*p…" With a small grunt he rolled back over, and tried to pull the sleeping bag over his head. After a few moments he sat up, and unzipped the flap door to his personal tent. He'd poked his head out slowly, and looked around. The construction of the circus had already begun to take flight. His black eye sockets narrowed slightly at the sunlight, and released a sigh. Jack pulled his head back in, and pulled out a black robe, and a pair of black slippers. He walked out of his tent, and made his way into the much larger food tent.


When he walked inside in Food tent he looked around, and quickly found the black coffee pot. He pulled out his coffee cup from his robe pocket, and quickly filled it with the black coffee. He then took a seat at a chair in the corner, and grabbed a morning paper from the entrance. Jack opened the paper, and began to read the daily news.

 

[Chiryu]

What was maybe normal to most was something Malane loved about the people around here. They understood what she was talking about and what she meant. It was a nice feeling. A shared bond. A...family. Thinking about that only made the sunshine in her smile only the more brighter. "I'm glad to hear. The gratitude is mine. Though children of the circus know not to touch the bathtup with our own sister in it." She said, wondering who could so careless. After all, almost tipping over a bathtub is even when you do try, not easy. Especially when it's filled with an water entity.


"Straw? With the slightest sigh from a wind god, straw may sway away. So why did they not use tiles, they're there to stay." Even though she was a little confused by the strange manner in which people made their houses around these parts, she still couldn't help but giggle a bit. "My certainty is set that the wolf will send his thanks to these beings."


Their small talk was soon interrupted by the sound of a familiar and comforting voice. One, any carnie had learned to distinguish between all the other voices. Not that it was that hard to do though, as her accent was as thick as a brick wall. "It would be boring to be the only early bird, which is why I can chirp so happily every morning seeing you 2!" She said happily as she participated in this 3 way hug, enjoying the cuddle of her friends, which felt surprisingly warm for a water entity and a vampire-witch.

 

[heysappho]

"No, no ones tried to stake me in my sleep. Though I did receive a letter from my mêrê" Vi said, chuckling a little at the remark. It was always fun to have someone that was willing to joke around about everything.


"My mother and father have sent some gifts for everyone. I believe you two's are still sitting in my trunkette." She said. Vi smiled to Malane.


"Yours I believe you will be exceptionally happy with. Tell me, have you been working on your herbals lately?" She asked. Her parents always loved the circus family, and take great joy in sending everyone "start of the year" gifts. This year, they all have decided to bring a little of home to the States with them.


For the workers it was Mary assortments of food that is currently awaiting them in their quarters- and for the performers it was things to assist them in trainings or performances.

 

[Chiryu]

"..." For a moment Malane just stared queitly at the cheerful young looking vampire girl. Her family sent a gift to Malane? Why? She knew she was supposed to be happy and cheerful about receiving a gift from someone she barely even knew, but....she wasn't.


Malane and Vi had known each other for a while already, obviously, and she could ussualy really get along well with the child. However, there was one thing that just rubbed her the wrong way: Vi was still so close with her current family. Her blood family. It....Malane didn't like it. She never really did.


However, for the sake of Vi and for the sake of the mood she simply smiled and nodded. "My talons have been rubbing in more green than the paw of a fox!" She tried to say cheerfully. "The woman of your blood really does not have to do all that for me." She also noted, with a little awkward giggle.


"What of the lady of the water though?"

 

[tem502]

Florence clapped her hands and came very close to literally jumping up and down at the thought.


"Really!? A present again?" Her excitement caused her speech to quicken, words threatening to merge into one long noise as she gave a deluge of questions.


Her watery matrix meant her thoughts travelled extremely quickly and her species often carried out multiple conversations at once, so she occasionally needed reminding she wasnt talking to others of her kin when she got particularly excited.


"Is your mêrê okay? What did the letter say? Did she mention me in it? Have they visited Greece yet? Where have they visited? Can-we-go-mook-in-your-notelephanttrunk-and-get-them??"


As she questioned about getting the presents her face was somewhat similar to the look of a puppy begging for food.

 

[heysappho]

"Yes dear, they have. In fact they wrote out a letter explaining everything to their kin without blood. They've been doing quite well, and are excited to finally be back home. I believe my father indulged a little too much in your home countries food!" She said, assuring Florence that their time has been all well spent.


"And love, you know it will be always like them. You are all my family, so my mother will feel obligated. Without any of her own non surrounding her, she's always making things for the circus."


A couple gusts of wind found themselves blown under the tents walls as Vinnie took off her coat. Her mother really did feel obliged, as the circus folk were keeping her daughter safe. It was custom of her family to always give thanks, even if its meaning had run generations dry.


"I hope they do not make you uncomfortable, Mal. My mother simply has a heart too big for just one small family" she chuckled, fixing the bottom of her dress. The skirt hung low today, about 2/3rd of the way down her calf and hung loose with ruffles. The chest piece was simple with a black belt on her waist. She preferred against heels and wore simple black flats instead. Not an outfit for this weather, but a comfortable one at least.

 

[heysappho]

(Just me or is the order of the messages messing up?)

 

[Chiryu]

"Yes. I suppose it's not the first time" Malane said, surprisingly normal for her doing, as she rubbed her hand over her neck. "Sorry." She honestly admitted as she bowed herself a bit before the unique looking vampire. It wasn't Vi's fault after all. So it wouldn't be fair to bother her with it. "Though if I may, when will is the tent filled with people anxiously waiting the appearance of the stars of the circus again? Will your blood be amongst one of them?" (When will the shows start and will Vi family be there?) She asked curiously. Even though Malane had come to accept the fact that Vi was still in good contact with her family, she still felt a bit uncomfortable to talk about it. Being her stubborn self, her natural reaction was to change the direction to something completely off. So she quickly added. "Might I say your beauty today shines brighter than the moon?" Malane complimented, upon seeing her attire.

 

[Wateryes]

As always, Aileen spent the morning standing by a table making hot chocolate. Preferring the sweet drink instead of coffee had always been a childish side of her, and even though she loved coffee, the mornings never felt the same without chocolate, in one way or another. She let her dark eyes let go of the drink and glided over the room, taking in the few people who was awake, while breathing in the smell from her steaming cup. She instantly relaxed, and the taste of the sweet chocolate made her lips curve into the tiniest of smiles. She used the table to lean against since no one else seemed to be in need for hot chocolate, and enjoyed the few minutes where she could just relax and watch those she considered her family. Those who were her family.


She was quite used to this, never resting in one place for too long, performing at new places every other week. She liked it though. Even as a kid she wished to travel the world, mostly because she wanted to find a place where she could really feel like she belonged. Now that she got both, life seemed just as perfect as it could get. Even so, it wasn’t always that fun not being able to stay for a bit longer in a nice town, and yes, her family was pretty screwed up, and not even a little. Although, she would handle the nomad life well, and her family being weird only made it more precious to her. They didn’t care that she was a freak, because she was, and even the times when she retreated to the loneliness and the silence of her room, they never judged her for being anti-social or anything.


Aileen did notice the young magician in the black robe, sitting only a few meters away from her, but she didn’t leave the table to start a conversation with him. Not that she disliked him, Jack was an okay guy, really, she had just never been fond of walking up to a person to start talking about the weather, or anything else for that sake. She probably wouldn’t be all that dismissive if someone tried talk to her now, though. She had just woken up, but after only a few sips of her hot chocolate, she felt much more open to socialize. Again, she let her eyes drop to the cup her hands were clinging to, and because she liked it as hot as it could get without burning her throat out, she made her hands slowly heating it up. She used her “abilities”, as she liked to refer to it as, whenever she could. Not to brag or show people how good she was, but because she simply liked it. It made her feel alive, and always sent a warm shiver down her spine and a foolish smile to her face.

 

[tem502]

Florence beamed up at the taller vampire as she spoke, hanging on every word.


"Thats nice that their doing well."


As Malane seemed uncomfortable talking about the subject further she smoothly added to the subject change herself as she could always inquire further another time when she was by herself.


"Have you both been practising over the holidays? I Ha~ave!" She sang, smoothing the hem of her hand made dress down. "Look look, Im getting better." Staring at Vinnie for a moment, she took in a breath and then growing taller to match the vampires height, her face shifted into a not quite perfect, but very close mirror of her face.


Her hair morphed into the style Vinnie was wearing, and while it still flowed, it was a very slow pulsing rather than her normal stream.


Pulling out a small pippet from her belt, she dropped some white dye into her hair, untill it matched the pale gold of her friend.


"See? Now were both looking prettier than the moon! I reckon I could allmost do my mirror with the lights on fully, now." Supressing her excitable noture, she took a deep breath and then let a calm expression come to her face. "Now try and put me off while I copy you. Do your Claramovoyance thing!"

 

[heysappho]

Vinnie couldn't help but laugh, swiping a hand through her hair and clapping her hands together.


"Don't day I didn't warn you" She said, lowering her clasped hands to either side. Simply standing still she focused in on Flow's forehead, at least the mass of solidated water that resembled it and thought.


It took her a couple moments to break her way into the girls mind as she had never done this with a Naiad. She imagined the girl morphing back into the version of herself Vinnie and Mal knew. Her hair slowly pulsed faster as the color began to dissipate, and her height grew slightly shorter. She could feel Florence fighting against her energy as the girls mirrored face only became more detailed.


"You're getting good at this. Not much longer and youll be a brick wall to Empaths and witches alike." Vineres said, gritting through her teeth.


She squared her feet as the familiar flood rushed into her brain. When Vi was this focused in on something, it was sometimes hard to keep their memories from seeping in. With a final pulse of energy, she managed to push them out. The clairvoyant tried a final attempt at pushing memories of her own into Flow, to try and distract her. She could only open her grey eyes and watch Flows reaction to see if it worked.

 

[tem502]

Florence grunted slightly as she concentrated on keeping her form, her forehead rippling in her equivalent of sweating.


She breifly found herself thinking of her lake, her parents, and the time she got in trouble for attempting to put a customer who was on fire but actually just had red hair.


She had a moment to start steeling herself in a temporary reprieve, then found herself thinking about sitting in a cafe in France with her father, which didn't make sense for 3 main reasons.


1) Shed never been to France.


2) She didn't have a Father, and perhaps most significantly, 3) She didn't know what a croissant actually was.


For a moment the young Naiad seemed like she was going to push the memories out, then with a slight crackle of psychic energy her face ran clear and rushed into its normal position, her hair surging out like a flood as the damn broke.


She fell back slightly and flumped to the floor with a slight splash, panting slightly.


"Youre too strong, Vampy!" She conceeded gracefully in a cheerful voice.

 

[heysappho]

Vineres immediantly shook herself out of the daze, and dove down next to Flow once she caught wind that she had fallen.


"I am so sorry, Flow!" She said, face paling into worry and guilt. Vinnie really hated doing anything to hurt anyone especially if it was those she so strongly called her family.


"I really did not mean to. I would never hurt you on purpose. Are you okay? Please do not be injured." She said. As she got higher strung, so did her words. The blue haired girl was afraid of even touching Flow at this point. Needless to say the little accident she had centuries earlier has still imprinted itself in her memory to this day.

 

[tem502]

Flow waved her hand dismissively, shaking her head slightly and putting her hand on Vinnies shoulder reassuringly.


"Of course im not hurt, you just turned me around for a minute. I don't think you could hurt me by pushing me over if you tried." Her comment wasnt one of boast or trying to puff herself up, she was simply trying to reassure her friend not to worry.


She was even more sensitive than Flow in some ways, though she usually showed it less.


"That memory thing you did was really cool. Did you pick the memories or do they just happen?" As she spoke a pillar of water surged underneath the Naiad, placing her gently onto her feet, and she looked between Malene and Vineres. "What are you both doin' for the day?"

 

[Wateryes]

The hot chocolate disappeared within only a few minutes, and Aileen resisted the urge to refill it. She wanted to take a look around at the circus, maybe help with the construction or take a trip down to the town. She hadn’t got the chance to visit it yet, but from the view from the circus, it looked especially nice. Aileen had always liked the small and more friendly towns better than the big and loud ones. It was exciting with bigger places, but she felt more relaxed and confident when performing in the less crowded ones.


She placed her cup on the table and held back a yawn. She was actually quite a morning person, and had no problems of getting up early, but last night had been long since she had to get everything in place for the next day. She wished she had spent a little more time in the bed this morning, but it was too late now anyway. Eventually she poured up some more to drink since she had nothing better to do at the moment. She decided to help out with whatever was needed after breakfast.

 

[tem502]

Lilly walked gracefully from her room, which despite her station was no bigger than any of the other sleeping areas (Although some people did share theirs) and surveyed the area as she went, waving in a cheerful but dignified manner to all her children.


She loved all of them near unmeasurably, though she was honest enough with herself to admit some slight preferences for certain members of the circus, though she did her best to treat all of them just as fairly.


Since this early in the day people were still free to do as they pleased and no formal practise was happening, her time was currently free.


Wandering along in a genteel manner, she entered the eating area, and a small but warm smile played on her lips as she saw Aileen with her habitual cup of chocolate, and Jack sat with his paper.


The two of them were sat in a comfortable silence, but silence nontheless.


An amused twinkle shone in Lilly's eyes. Neither of them were ones to start a conversation just for the purpose of filling the air, bless them both.


She however, required conversation and companionship for her tea, which was only proper for a lady to expect.


Healthy communication was the foundation of any good relationship, after all.


Sitting on a chair opposite Aileen, she sat, her pose almost statuesque in its elegance, intense blue eyes studying her in intimate detail.


"Good morning, dearest." She said in her warm, rich voice. As she spoke she gave a little shake of her hand almost negligently, and a china teapot and a set of cups appeared on the table with a little gust of wind and a smattering of snowflakes. "I trust you slept well Aileen?"


Pouring out a cup of tea for each of them; she expected them to join her in a cup because it was the polite thing to do whether or not they actually wanted one, and the cups were small and delicate enough they could finish it in almost a mouthful if they really wanted to.


As she finished pouring she turned her head to look over to Jack. "Do be a dear and join us, wont you my skeletal friend? You look awfully antisocial sat over there by yourself, and your newspaper isn't going to grow legs and run away."

 

[Wateryes]

Aileen again let her eyes go of her hot cocoa when the as always gracious ringmaster entered the room. She was hard, if not impossible, not to notice there she moved over the floor like she was dancing, not walking. Aileen enjoyed the company of the young-looking woman, even though Lilly accounted for most of the talking. “And to you,” Aileen answered with a polite nod with her head in her direction. “I always do,” she then said, this time with a tiny smile as well, though most of it was hidden behind her cup. She came to the conclusion that the smartest thing to do was to put it away when she saw Lilly pouring up more than just one cup of tea. Usually, Aileen didn’t drink that much tea, but she never said no thanks to the ringmaster because the simple reason that she wanted to be polite. She usually didn’t care much about manners either, but it came naturally around Lilly. She’s always respected her more than anyone else, and when she didn’t care much about what others thought of her, Lilly’s opinion had always mattered to her. Also, drinking tea with her was relaxing and simply nice. Therefore, she slowly put down her beloved cup of chocolate, and pulled out a chair to join them both. She have had enough a long time. Too much sugar wasn’t good for her as she often became much more outgoing than she was comfortable with. She sat down, pulled one leg up and placed her foot on the seat, so that she could lean against her knee. Much different from Lilly's high held head and straight back.

 

[Chiryu]

Malane's hand covered her mouth as she was not paying much attention to anything. Accidentally, mid-conversation, she had reverted back into her own mind. Did she practise enough during the break? The question bothered her, like a drawing pin on a chair. She had been very occupied with a lot of things other than her original act: dancing. Though it was something that came natural to her, she knew that slacking off practise could be a snowball that would be hard to stop. And especially since it was vital for her and her family, she had to keep it up, but....


Lately her mind had been occupied by a lot of other things. For one, her brewing skills had grown tremendously. She could list all the ingredients out of her head, their nature and their effect. She could even, for the most part, tell which combinations would do what. To her though, it had become something simple. Just a matter of "knowing what you're doing". She had also been busy with more conspicuous things.


After she recited the 'new' dance in her head, she convinced herself that she did actually practise enough. And with that safe notion, her sight returned up from the floor, where she suddenly gazed at 2 Vinnies. Most people would be surprised, but having been part of this unique circus, she knew dam'n well that one of the 2 was Florence, performing what had to be one of her most amazing abilities. She stood in awe as she looked at the 2 who seemed nearly fierce in battle. A battle of wit and skill. It was quiet a sight to behold. Vi's clairvoyant powers against Flow's shape shifting abilities. Eventually it was Flow who took the short end, but she definitely gave up a good fight. What was more important though, was that Flow's shape shifting skills had grown quiet a bit. Malane was to lie if she said it didn't make her even a bit jealous.


When Vi had made sure that Flow was alright, Malane's face suddenly grew bright and she started clapping in her hands, as if she was one of the circus' customers. Though even as a performer, it was still a sight to behold. "A bear and a wolf fighting should be envious!" She said joyfully as the clapping came to a stop and she just smiled at the 2 of them. "Evolution should be proud of you! So much improvement." She complimented.


Then she concentrated on Flow, who started up the normal conversation once more. "Today, my time's going to be wasted by the filth on my shoe. Though that will only be a slight bit of most of my time yet to figure out how to spend." She explained in a strange fashion, waving her arms as if that would make the concept of time more clear. "What of your time?" She asked back politely folding her hands up in front of one another on top of the cape which was covering her.

 

[RedUchiha]

Unlike what the others are doing, Red was at his station, reading his books like he would normally do. "Oh so that is what I have to do." He said to himself after realizing he can do a new trick from his book. He starts spinning his hand and darkness appeared onto it and he drew a skull that was laughing hysterically like a crazy man in an insane asylum and disappeared into thin air. "Well, I should think of something else then that." He said. He then got up, put away his book onto his spell shelf, and went outside of his station for some fresh air. "I wonder what the others are doing." He then starts looking around for somebody to talk to.
