Re: Cirque Des Sauvages

[Charlie]

Tommy got out of the jacuzzi, and dried off. He just let the water evaporate. He turned the jacuzzi off. Shook his head once, to let some water splash around, and went to find everyone.

[OpenTheDoor]

"First doors, now Molly? Grand."
She smirked at Mal, stroking her head slightly with a smile.
"And I personally like roaches too, you need to learn to spread your wings a bit m'boy," she winked as she told Mal to flutter back to him.
She looked back to Molly and Dimitri, "And it's okay as long as he's okay. I'm fine but the door may need replacing..."
She looked to the hinges and sighed, swinging the door slightly in time with her tail to see it almost fall off straight away.
"Yeah, my door's basically a car-flap."

[Charlie]

Tommy walked up at that moment. And immediately wished he could go back.

[BariJoy]

"I honestly don't know what you all see in roaches," Xander said as Mal landed on his shoulder, "They're alright, but they're not the tastiest bug in the world like Mal seems to think they are."

[OpenTheDoor]

"I'm impartial, I prefer small mammals personally, but sometimes you can't get them all so I just go for whatever's there, y'know?"
She perched the door against the wall and sighed once again. She was kinda glad that she saw him; he was animalistic too so she felt more relaxed, more that then anyone else.
"Anyway, you ready for the show tomorrow at all? We'll be docking soonish."

[Charlie]

"I don't like roaches." Tommy interjected his thought. He disliked bugs, and fish. Well he had a reason for not eating fish it would make him feel like a cannibal.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Well you know that I rather like mice, eh Tommy?"
Ilia smirked slightly, before her eyes darkened. Yes, she still held that hate for him that she couldn't help but exert. She didn't really want to, but it was just what she felt like she had to do.

[BariJoy]

"There, see, Tommy agrees with me!" Xander said, to no-one in particular. Mal took this as an insult and shot out a wing very fast, slapping it across Xander's face. Then she flew off somewhere. Xander chose to pretend that hadn't happened and answered Ilia's question, "For the most part, yeah, I'm ready."

[Charlie]

"What, oh yeah." He said hoping she would have forgotten that. "Oh and yeah I'm ready." He looked at Xander, with a look saying he saw that.

[BariJoy]

Soloman stood in the doorway. "How quaint," he said, in a velvety smooth voice that was as venemous as black-widow spider, "The children are having a little playdate." He looked at each of the performers in turn. "The Ringleader," he continued, "Sent me down here to remind you all that rehearsal for tomorrow's show will begin in roughly one hour. He also said not to be late, or suffer the consequences." Soloman, personally, hoped that at least one would be late. He loved doling out consequences.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Yeah, that's what."
She turned her head back to Xander with a nod, smiling as Mal swooped out of the room past her head. She honestly loved the fact that Mal was so wild yet had that element that made her so well-behaved, much like her.
"Anyway, Tommy eats normal food unlike us two! He only would if he was dying on a deserted isle. Anyway, if you need any help with setting up, I here, that's all I'm used for nowadays apart from warming up the crowd...though Randi does a better job than me."
She smirked at her pun, now completely blocking out Tommy. A girl's wrath, especially one so catty, could be rather fatal.

[Charlie]

Tommy wasn't a huge fan of what Randi did. Fire. Fire was his biggest fear. And well fire wasn't the most pleasant of punishments. Solomon didn't give him his, the ringleader did. He would do everything to not be late.

[BariJoy]

Soloman chuckled when he saw the fear that poked its way into Tommy's eyes. "I see you get the point," he said, then turned and left the room.

Randi walked in as soon as Soloman had left. Gesturing back to him, she asked, "Did I miss something? Did the Ringleader's lapdog have a message for us?" Randi hated Soloman. For that reason, she called him all manner of derogative nicknames.

[Charlie]

"Rehearsal in an hour." Tommy said. The only person he was weak in front of was Solomon, he could read him like a picture book that was only pictures..

[OpenTheDoor]

"Great, another chance for me to be stuck on the sides do nothin' grand."
Ilia leant on the wall, sighing. She didn't enjoy all of this, she just wanted to be normal, it was just that she couldn't.
Just as she thought that, her tail swished infront of her face, covering it completely.
"I swear this has a mind of it's own," she muttered, grabbing it, "eh, Senior Tailio?"

[Charlie]

Tommy sighed, and it seemed like his skin drained of moisture something it did when he was uneasy. He looked at the jacuzzi he would spend a good long day in their after the show.

[OpenTheDoor]

Ilia hadn't really met Solomon yet, she tried to steer clear like most people, it was just that she was more successful, something that she was glad about.
"Tommy, you get yourself hydrated, if anyone says anything then I'll whack 'em one, okay?" she nodded, putting the whole thing below decks away.

[Charlie]

"I'll be fine." Tommy said. He wouldn't be able to protect her from his punishment. He had been punished five times to date, he hated it every time. His kin regained it's color, as he hydrated with just the thought of the word. He had to learn how to control the amount of water his body had, if he got to much he could die, and to little he could die. It was just the matter of putting it in different places.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Whatever," she muttered, "The least you could is not be a sour puss, eh?"
She slipped down the wall and landed on her butt, her tail wrapping around her front. Ilia defiantly felt like crap, just wanting to do something to get her mind off of things.
"Anyone got something that needs sorting?"

[Charlie]

Tommy shook his head, and went to the stage to practice. He wished he could just tell her, but she would find out one way or another. He sat on the sage, and looked at the shark tank behind the curtain. Ed the head of them, looked at Tommy.
Tommy walked over, and cussed, he was going to get in trouble now.

[OpenTheDoor]

What was Tommy doing?
Ilia raised a brow at his back, wondering exactly what he was doing but didn't rise from her dark corner. Instead, she just continued to watch.

[Charlie]

Tommy climbed in the tank, and fished out the dead shark, and plopped on the platform backstage. "Shit, shit, shit." he said.

[OpenTheDoor]

Curiosity got the better of her as always.
"Tommy, what is it- Holy catnip!" she shouted, looking at the shark, "How the hell did that happen?"
She stood to the side, pinching her nose from the smell; that was the last thing that she needed at the minute.

[Charlie]

"I don't know. Ed said something happened. And then I see him dead." he sat next to the shark. "I might as well be dead." he said, it would be better than his punishment.

[OpenTheDoor]

"No, just leave it," she shook her head, "It's a course of life, he was getting old anyway, I just didn't have the heart to tell you earlier. If it's anyone's fault it's mine."
She was lying, she couldn't understand sharks at all, just some mammals, and the only reason she knew about bats was because she grew curious of Mal.
Taking a perch next to the dead animal, she sighed again, "If you want I can go tell someone. It isn't a disaster, if need be I'm sure that I can have a go at being a shark... I guess that's the beauty of my freakness."

[BariJoy]

"Well, now isn't this an interesting development," Soloman, who was standing off to the side, commented, "Do you think I should tell the Ringleader? He might appreciate knowing that he can finally punish someone." With that, he walked away.

It was all Randi could do not to throw fire after him. Soloman was the worst of the worst, except for the Ringleader, of course.

((Despite what Randi thinks, Soloman is one of my favorite characters.))
