Mellie smiled at Rythen and blushed when he wrapped his arms around her. She watched the twins, her mouth agape. She probably looked ridiculous, being the only one in the circus that was truly and completely amazed and surprised by their performance. She clapped loudly when they were done, and giggled, looking at Rythen. "I can do most of that ... But they make it so beautiful! I'm so clumsy," she laughed, leaning on him slightly, her right hand resting on his hands, and her left playing with a few strands of his hair. She smiled and watched Scarlett, and held her breath slightly, watching carefully, her eyes staring Scarlett down. Her lip was almost bleeding as she bit down on it, and she tried to ease up, but her heart stopped quickly. "Oh my ..." she whispered.

~

Lucifer watched the first part of Scarlett's act, and smiled as he clapped with the rest of the audience. She was so graceful and beautiful, and her body flowed. As he watched her, he felt his heart beat fast. He wanted to go join her, be by her side. A few times, he let his eyes skim over the audience, looking out for any odd doings, but as far as he knew, everyone was watching his beautiful woman do her performance. When her bun came out, his eyes widened and he stepped out into the performance area and looked from Scarlett to Cire. She looked ready and he sighed softly, but his eyes darted to Scarlett. "Scarlett ..." he whispered, feeling the air grow heavy with tension. "Scarlett ..." he said, louder. Slowly, he got louder, and looked at the audience as they chanted with him. Smiling, he raised his fist and yelled her name, cheering her on to his fullest intent. "I love you!" he yelled, over the audience, and coughed, his throat starting to burn.

Scarlett heard Lucifer and her heart almost stopped. She caught her breath and soon found herself onto the platform, breathing deeply from her fear of falling. She bowed and tossed her rose to Lucifer, the one he had given her. She climbed down the ladder and ran to Lucifer, giving him a hug and a kiss. "You love me?" She asked softly. She knew the crowd was probably watching but she didn't care. In her eyes it was just her and him.

Lucifer caught the rose and cheered loudly. When Scarlett ran over, he picked her up and spun her around. "Weeeeell!" he said, playfully, then laughed. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't." He grinned and set her down. He didn't love easily. He had come across women here and there, who tried to get in his pants, but the only thing that had ever come close was his hand. Blushing softly, he turned her around and took a thread out of his pocket. Swiftly, he put her hair up in a bun. "You may be immortal ... But that does not mean the things your wear are," he whispered, and bowed to the audience. "Please exit, in an orderly fashion!" he called to the audience, and moved closer to the crowd, waving to those who passed by. "Drive safe!" "Have a nice night!" "Good luck with the wedding!" He called out to people, who called to him, and smiled softly, holding Scarlett's hand.

Rythen watched as Scarlett came out. She really was good on the wire but he had seen that when she helped him across the practice one earlier. He clapped along with everyone else. When her bun came undone he did not worry. He doubted she would fall but even if she did this wasn't a normal circus. She would have the help of two magic users. He clapped when her act was done. "Your not clumsy. No one that is clumsy could walke a rope." He looked around at the humans getting up to leave. "Well it looks like the show is over. Time to get people up and out. Remember the hunters though." He helped Mellie off his lap before standing and taking Ahanna's hand. He turned to look at the crowd and bowed with Ahanna. He spoke loudly to the crowd. "Thank you all for coming. We hope you had fun." He dropped Ahanna's hand and smiled at her. "You two can leave if you want. Stay together though."

Ahanna watched the last performance. She clapped along with the rest. She stood with Rythen and bowed but as soon as he dropped her hand and told her she could go she turned to Cire. "Ready to go?" She helped Cire down out of the tent before most of the crowd had started out. At first she didn't know where to go but she thought it would be a good idea to go see the animals. With the mounts being magical the hunters might attack them. She led Cire to the animal tent. "I hope the animal tent is alright. I thought you might be comfortable here. Plus I'd like to watch the animals till the hunters leave."

Roe and Rae stood up with the rest of the crowd. They noticed as two of the female circus members ran out of the front. They made sure to not be the first out and not the last. They laughed together and made small talk about what they had seen. As soon as no one was looking right at them they walked into the trees and walked back to the tree that Roe had hide her katanna in. They both climbed up the tree and got ready to wait. They would stay here till they went to sleep. They might be able to kill one of them. No they would probably just sit around and go back with the knowledge.

Hello All! Sadly, my character Adam and Emily are done with the Circus. Sorry but, I wasn't going to stay here forever......Bye Bye. Hope to see you later!

Scarlett rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say darling.." She said softly, kissing the side of his face. "But thanks for putting on a nice show." She said softly, her hand lacing with his. "Wanna go to bed?" Se asked, yawning a little and putting her head on his shoulder. "Wedding? What wedding?" Scarlett asked, slightly puzzled. She was tired and a bit confused though as long as she had Lucifer with her she felt perfectly safe.

((Hey all. Would anyone be kind enough to give me a lowdown of what's going on? That way I can better squeeze my character in? Much appreciated! :heart: ))

((=o.. Awww T.T Im sad to hear so Holleh... You will chat with us once in a while right? =o...

OH MY GOSH DREI <3 *starts squeeling* Kyaaaaa <3 Buuut, we've got an OOC thread for that :P Ill try to post a summary in there, just to lead people to where they should OOC xD Nvm... Already have a post there... x.x; Okay: Up to the summary:
The circus has been roleplayed for one day, obviously exists longer than that, and the first performance night has yet be closed by the circus master... People already appear to have an idea they have to leave though. Uhmm... Some people got together (now already xD) and others didn't. =3= Some are planning to go out of night, but join the roleplay and you'll notice easily who. They all obviously have this ring so your character should be able to notice who's a carnie (if they wear it that is) ^-^; And here a list of all the carnies for you, o means they performed, x means they didn't. Tell me if there's a mistake guys =3

Ahanna and Rythen o -Rythen seems to be together with Mellie =P Ahanna seemed to like Adam a bit bit bit but he left so right now that has probably ''never existed''.
Adam o Left liked Mellie but was rejected.
Mellie x - Seems to be together with Rythen, first day so she didn't perform.
Lucifer o -Obviously seems to like Scarlett a lot, doesn't know if he loves her. Gave Scarlett a special rose necklace to make her immortal, his mother told him to give it to a special person.
Emily o Left
Kalapos x Left
Ido x Left
Doll x Left
Azra and Chenol o -Twins, able to finish each other scentences and move in perfect sync.
Scarlett o -Probably about the same as Lucifer, love's a big word after all =) Wears a beautiful rose necklace which makes her immortal, gotten from Lucifer.
Cire x -Plain doesn't perform unless asked or someone's sick xD
Zalia x/o -Circus master so says everyone's name ^-^ Longest OOC ever xD))

Cire nodded, more than glad when her feet touched the soil of the main tent. When Ahanna spoke, Cire moved over to the cage of a tiger, moving her fingers of the bars. ''Hmm, I don't think they will leave to be exact. Which is troublesome, the circus tent probably won't move when being watched. It's good you're worried about the animals though...'' She brushed a hand through her hair, taking a moment to think. ''Do you think Melody would still like to join our... Night out, now she seems to be occupied with Rythen?'' She asked, pursing her lips, frowning. Both Adam and Emily left, they had told them a while ago this would be their last day... Cire hoped they would still be there during dinner, but that was too much it seemed.

((that was fun to read dia ^^
Anyways, my hunters were left out and I see that your going to be a hunter Drei so you might want to know what they've been up to. Rae and Roe snuck into the show and have put tabs on all the carnies. They are currently on the outskirts of the circus sitting up in a tree. They are watching two females (Cire and Ahanna) and waiting for everyone to go to sleep or at least things to calm down.))

Ahanna watched as Cire moved to the tigers. They were beautiful animals. She walked over to the mounts and gave them each a carrot. She listened to what Cire said. She really hadn't thought about the tent not moving. "No I doubt they will. I hadn't thought about the tent not moving. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll fall asleep?" She turned to look at the animals. "I don't really fear for the normal animals but for the magical ones. I guess though that they could simply set fire to this tent and then they would all be caught inside." Ahanna stopped to think. "hm... well, it can't hurt to ask her. And I think it might be a good thing for her to come with us. She seems to want everyone to like her but has become almost dependent on Rythen." She looked around the tent and thought about how some of the members had left them. She hoped they would be safe.

(( Thank you Lilith <3
and indeed, but I thought that Drei might had read abour Roe and Rae =o ^-^))

Cire sighed, brushing a hand through her black hair making it turn the colour of her fur, white, again.
''I doubt they will fall asleep, but who knows? We might get lucky... and maybe they'll leave seeing as we do no harm. Not so plausible for either of them, sadly. Anyway, just to know... If it comes to a fight, are you and Rythen able to defend yourself using some combat skills...? Magic maybe?'' The woman pursed her lips after she asked, shook her head at the thought of the hunters leaving, just like that, and walked towards the food storage.
'' Hmm, it won't hurt... As about it being good to Mellie, I tend to keep myself from judging whether or not something is good or wrong for someone, yet I can't help but think socializing shouldn't hurt.'' The door opened at a flick of her wrist to the left, and cold air from the storage hit her face. She used some air bending to get the food up and floating without using her back -Humans got pain in their backs so easily- and closed the door with a small movement of her foot to the right. She smiled while dividing the food between the animals with her fingers. Water and air were her best elements. Earth she was in balance with and fire was quite hard.. Since she herself was maybe too much of a fierce person. But of course, the fox would gladly ignore reality and just say fire was too stubborn. ''I'll ask Zalia whether or not she can put a protection spell at this place... If not I'll ask an animal here to close a contract with me. That way I'll be able to know straight away if there's something wrong.''

Ahanna smiled as Cire took on a more normal apperance. "Ha, leave because we do no harm? They will simply think we are planning something." Ahanna stopped. They hadn't really spoke of what their fighting skills were but it wasn't like Cire would use the knowlege against them. "Neither of us have any real magic. The only skill we have in that department is that we can tell where other magical beings are. But we can both fight with blades, preferably daggers, we both have nearly perfect aim, and I have made poisons. We both have long daggers in our tents. We keep throwing daggers on us." She pulled up her sleeves and started to show Cire her hidden blades then remembered that she couldn't see them. "We both have four blades hidden on each arm, two in our boots, and a bigger one hidden in the crease of our backs. The blades are coated in a poison that makes a person fall asleep when cut. We both have a resistance to it."

"It would be good for her to get out. She worries about so much. It would be good for her to only worry about her hair getting tangled. She watched as Cire got the food out. Magic always amazed her. In her town there had only been three with the gift; one with the power for earth, one for healing, and one for animals. There powers were all small and none flashy. They could simply grow plants faster and better, heal themselves and others of minor things, and get animals to listen to them slightly better.

"The protection spell would probably be the best. If something goes wrong we will know right away no matter what. People will hear the battle cry of a unicorn and pegasus from miles away. That is of course if they haven't already been killed."

((lol... A more normal appearance xD))

Cire laughed, closing her eyes as she made her hand twirl a bit as if portraying a perfect cute and beautifull picture. ''And then they will ask us to join for tea and a cookie, we'll tell them our masterplan, everyone laughs and we'll be happily ever after. Then we'll give each other gifts at christmas and illuminate the sky with fireworks wishing each other happy new year. No, I don't think so either.'' Her eyes opened, almost illuminating their blue colour. It was quite obvious she was letting go of her human form, slowly. Then again, if the woman wanted to 'see' again seriously, if she didn't want to be locked up, she needed to go way further than this. Only taking on the appearance that would belong with her wouldn't do the trick.
''I see, that sounds like a pair of real elves. No battle magic so aiming it is. I'm sure it's not wrong to guess you two are quick witted, faster than most and maybe a bit agile?'' She said, quite the rhetoric question if Ahanna let it be, smiling to reveal the exact same slightly pointy teeth from when she was human. Her ears and nose were just that bit more pointier than before, but nothing serious so she was barely letting go. ''Hmm... Worrying isn't a bit thing, it's worse if you can't stop and will miss out on stuff... Mainly the stuff that should distract you or rid you from those worries.'' She said, brushing a hand through her hair again, enjoying the fact she could feel a bit of her own aura in it.
''Let's go to Zalia for the protection spell.''

((diamondt I could kiss you! Thank you so much for what you said. That just really made my day:) And thank you so much for the summary! I don't think I could have written that lol.))

Stepping out to the stage once more Zalia gave the audience a goodbye and pointed to all the exits. Using a spell she lit the exits up and made am isle of bright light that lead out of the circus so no one would get lost or wander off. It was laced with another spell so once you were on it you would not want to leave it until it ended. Smiling she turned around and walked off stage. After talking to the tech crew they vanished. All the helpers around the circus weren't real, they were the magic of the circus.

Going into the back she waved to the twins and then started off towards her personal tent to change into normal clothes. Flicking her fingers her staff appeared in her hands. Whistling softly to herself she walked to her tent. As she walked she studied her surroundings, looking for anything off.

Ahanna laughed. "It really is too bad that wouldn't work." She flicked out her wrist catching the switch that kept the daggers in their holders. The knife slid into her hand. She carefully put it back where it belonged. "I suppose you could say that." She laughed. "Sounds good. Then we can pary." She started walking in the direction of Zalia's tent.

Rae watched as the ringleader walked out of the main tent. It looked like she was going to her tent. It would be good to mark down where that monster slept.

(( *laughs* I'm glad you like whatever I've done this time (I'm having the thought it's my abuse of the word 'obviously' though) =3 OH WAIT, you're meaning my last post on the previous page =O Well that's what invisible friends are for right <3? Support, sicne we waste our lives we want to waste our lives having fun and being nice and all =) Like, obviously obviously, right? And Drei is a friend of mine, sorta, and I had time on my hand... :P *rolls eyes* Boredom on the internet makes me a very usefull person xD But seriously, guys, the OOC XD I chat so many I can't wait for my posts =3))

''So it is.'' The fox said, with a smirk of her own. When Ahanna started to walk, Cire jumped in the air and got down harshly on purpose, which earned her a full and detailed view of the area. To not risk anything, such as having white hair with blue eyes around people who stayed behind, she changed her appearance to the black haired and black eyed woman from before again. ''If you want to, I'd love to spar together, might as well stretch my bones a bit.'' The woman said, going for a small jog to catch up the the elvin. The idea of sparring together was one she couldn't help but love... Don't ask her, but she feels you can talk so way easier if you've had a battle.... It's like opening several gates. ''Do you think Zalia would join us? Then you can ride the unicorn if she lets you, I can let Mellie ride my back, and Zalia can ride your pegasus''

Ahanna watched as Cire caught back up in the black haired look. She thought about the practice spar for a moment. Her style of fighting really was more about long distance attacks, poison, and running. But it might do her some good to practice with something different. "Sure I think I would like that. Though I should probably use some of our juggling daggers instead. Their not as sharp and haven't been coated in poison." She paused at the change of subject. "She might. That is a good idea. We should ask her. Hm... she would probably let me ride her."

Mellie stood and waved to everyone, who stared at her like she was crazy. They whispered, and wondered why this strange girl they had never seen before was waving and telling them to enjoy their nights. She had forgotten she didn't perform. 'Well ... I kinda did. For Rythen,' she thought, giggling to herself. Once everyone left, she walked by Rythen and made her way to her tent, hoping Rythen wouldn't follow. She went to her mirror, opened it, and took out eleven pill containers. She took either two or three from each, and swallowed them in a gulp of water. She turned, hearing some people walk by her tent, and knocked down an open bottle. Squealing, she didn't bother to close her mirror before bending down and picking up the stray pills. As she did, she sighed, feeling her nerves calm down at a quick rate.

Laughing, Lucifer turned to Scarlett. "That woman's getting married!" he grinned and walked out of the performing tent, leading Scarlett to his tent. When there, he took off his sweater, and pants. He groaned softly, stretching his arms and cracking his back. "Would you like to sleep or talk?" he asked, stroking Scarlett's cheek softly. He smiled and sat next to her, yawning softly. He wasn't so much tired as he was exhausted.

Cire laughed softly. ''When I heard sparring I thought of punches and kicks~'' Not that she minded having knives thrown at her... ''Thanks, sending poison my way probably wouldn't do many except for a fever and some throwing up. A waste of poison and of the food I ate...'' She said, scratching the back of her head.
''Sounds like fun... A small girls' night out. Then the guys can be woman free too, who knows they might have fun too~'' The woman said, looking around a bit. Hmm... She thought she sensed someone.

Scarlett was to lazy to change from her pretty clothes and decided to just lay on the bed. "Talking would be good.." She said, her eyes scanning his body, then back up to his face. She looked to the ceiling, letting her bun out to relax herself and sitting up to slip her shoes off at the end of the bed. She laid back down and let her muscles relax. " So, whats on our schedule for tomorrow?" She asked, smiling a little.

((You totally rock diamondt and you are really nice:) Thank you for brightening up my day!!!!!))

As she made her way to her tent Zalia swung her staff around absentmindedly. The bright orb trapped in the black cage pulsed with energy each time to swung it. Once she entered her tent she tossed her staff on her bed where it seemed to float down to the mattress. Even though they lived in tents it was just like an actual room. Walking over to her closet she opened it up and grabbed out clothes. She chose a pair of cotton leggings that were a deep blue and a loose gray sweater that fell down to her mid thighs. It had a v-cut and the sleeves tightened around her wrist's. She pulled on a pair of fuzzy black socks then pulled on loose knee high gray boot's that had no heel to it. Taking off her hat she let her rich dark brown hair fall around her in waves. Smiling she closed her closet and walked over to her bed where she began looking around for her favorite heart necklace.

((Aw, I'm so happy to see that I am well received. -grins at Dia- And thank you for the summary. I think I'll have Mikhail harass the other hunters for a bit. ;) ))



"Damn... Looks like I got here a little later than I had anticipated. Bloody coordinates... How are we suppose to do our job correctly if the intelligence can't even give us the correct information." A tall male with a more slender yet strong build stood watching as the circus crowd thinned out. Arms crossed over his chest he fumed silently to himself as he waited patiently studying the location. Concealing himself with the surrounding trees and their distorted shadows he remained silent and still as he began to formulate a new set of plans to infiltrate the infamous circus. Originally, he had set out early enough that he would be able to nab a ticket and partake in enjoying the show that the unnatural beings were putting on. There he would be able to fully view and study what he was to go up against. Sure as a Hunter he had a certain mark that he was to follow and eliminate, but who was to say no to him when he had the possibility of knocking off a few more? It just granted him a better paycheck in the end and the order would be that much more satisfied that there were a few less of those beings in this world.
But no. Of course his plans had not gone the way that he had wanted. Thanks to the dimwitted idiots that gave him what little and critical intel that he had received. As a result he was in this new situation. Scratching his chin he contemplated his next set of moves carefully. Surely if they held another show he could still set this plan into action, but he would have to be patient.

Unfortunately Mikhail was not feeling very patient at this very moment. Deciding to scope out the area and get a complete look from the outskirts he began to move with the silent grace that a true Hunter possessed. His attention was attracted to a large tree as a branch seemed to shake slightly. "Squirrel?" He wondered as he crept underneath the large branches to peer upwards secretly hoping that it was a member of the circus looking for some quiet time. His hopes were killed once he registered the brief glimpses of the two faces that sat above him.

"Roe and Rae." Mikhail spoke softly crossing his arms as a slight smirk crept onto his lips. "I'm not surprised to see you two here as well. When were the two of you dispatched?" It was an amusing sight to see the siblings sitting up in a tree together.

Rythen watched as Mellie walked off. She didn't involve him so she probably didn't want him to follow. So instead he walked out of the tent and noted that she walked to her tent. He sat down a bit from her tent and took out his juggling daggers. He would juggle for a bit.

Ahanna blused. "Oh well in that case that sounds fine. And the only poison that I have that would really hurt anyone is kept safe in my tent. No the stuff I have on my blades only puts a person asleep. They might want to kill me but I do not feel the same." She sighed. "That sounds really nice. A girls night."

Roe smiled down at the man. She slipped down out of the tree to come eye to eye with him. "Hey Mikhail. Looks like your laaattee." She dragged out the last word then laughed. "We were sent out three weeks ago. Weren't given much info so we just now caught up with them. We kept showing up right after they left. We got to see the show though." The entire time she spoke softly.

Rae looked down at the man and shook her head. This just complicated things. She liked Mikhail but he might just try to steal this from them. Though it really didn't matter if they all walked away and the monsters died. They weren't in this business for the money. "Hello Mikhail. Did they send anyone else with you? Or any news?

"Oh Roe... I'm not late. I'm fashionably late my dear girl." He smirked and winked at her before looking back up to listen to the other sibling. It seemed that his presence here was not entirely welcomed, though he could have been misreading Rae's face as those eyes of hers studied him briefly. Turning to look at Roe he playful mused, "I'm jealous. You got to watch them perform? Any of them seem like they might actually put up a bit of a struggle for us?" He grinned, "I wouldn't mind a little bit of a challenge you know."

As Rae spoke, Mikhail looked back up at the other female. "Thanks for the warm welcome Rae, and no. I'm the only other member that they sent this way. I guess that they decided that this was a job that needed done quickly and cleanly, eh? As for news-" He snorted halfway annoyed, "Come on, you know how they like to keep us in the dark about everything and anything they can."

((~smiles oh so broadly~ OOC chat people <3 And thank you Crimson, I hear that a lot <3 A bit of brightening shouldn't hurt ay? =3
Lol xD He's very good at harassing Drei <3 Once again a wonderfull character off your side.))

''Hmm... No fever then, throwing up would still be a liable change if I wouldn't cut the hit limb off. My body rejects poison quite agressively...'' Cire said while taking a moment to roll her eyes.
Throwing up for a while or cutting off a limb... Limb cutting hurt, but it would be healed within 10 minutes so there would be no problem. Well, except for the cleaning maybe... Only with the moon shining she could control liquids with little water in them. Without the moon she'd bend the water in the blood out of it, which would end up with red powder on the floor rather than blood spatters... The woman turned to the elvin, and nodded slightly. Killing wasn't on her daily to do list either. Unless they hurt innocent people... Children for example, are creatures in need to be avenged when killed.
''Since you have such nice aim, I can give you a book about a few spots in the body which will make a certain limb useless when hit with something like a dagger of yours... I'm sure I have one from when they tried teaching me about bodies for my healing classes... In the end I used it for close combat.'' The woman said, shaking her head with a smile. 2000 years old and she still took half an hour healing a small gash... She was probably and proudly the worst student of all the healing classes around the world.
''Zaliaaa~ Wonderfull show today wasn't it? I feared Scarlett would fall for one second, wonderfull how she keeps the tension sky high.'' The woman said upon arriving the tent of the circus mistress, her hands at her hips waiting for the even older woman to come out. The fox sure enough had respect for her... To still be able to fit in so wonderfull after 3000 years. Adults feel like they are centuries back when they are 50, and Zalia fits right in as if she was born that very second.

Roe laughed. "Psh, I thought only girls cared about that." She looked up at her sister knowing she would be upset but this just meant more help. She thought about all of the performers for a moment. "The Ringmaster didn't do anything, of course, but she seems to have some kind of magic. There are two elves, one dark and one light, who juggled things. I don't think there much of a threat, though they might be good at throwing things. Then a man who did aerobatics. Seemed strong but I can't place what he is. Two girls that could bend pretty much any way which makes me think they have some connection with snakes. The last act was a girl on the high wire and I couldn't tell what she is either. I think there are at least two other members. The elves sat in the crowd with two other females. One seemed blind but noticed a lot so she probably has magic too and the other seemed to be a succubus. None of them seem like they would really cause that much trouble but since we can't place most of them it is a bit more difficult."

"You forgot dear sister, the elves rode in on a pegasus and a unicorn. Suprisingly enough the male was on the unicorn. Made my day." She laughed at the thought. "My welcomes are always warm." She huffed at the news. They would send them out but never tell them anything. "Great, its always so nice to go in half blind huh? Well at least we have help now. So did they send you out because we weren't working fast enough?" She was keeping her eyes on the circus waiting for something to happen but she looked down at him at this.

"Good thing to know then. I'll be careful with my blades." She thought about the hunters. She knew people thought something was wrong with her because she did not wish for the hunters deaths even after they killed her entire town. But after that she had a hard time with any death. She had even stopped eating meat. "That would be nice. With something like that I bet I could hit it with a juggling ball hard enough to make it work. Ha then your like me. When I was suppost to be learning how to make sleeping tea I was making a poison that induced sleep instantly." She laughed at it. Not that she didn't master the potions and teas. When they reached Zalia's tent and Cire called out she stayed silent. Zalia seemed nice but she was still unsure how to take her.
