For one thing, it meant the man was as blind as a bull; his attacks held no strategy, as he was bent on making Crispin pay with whatever he could throw. This was good for the brawler, as he was trained to dodge heavies and, preferably, counter them. But on the other hand... it meant hot chick was in danger. Gods! It wasn't his fault Tammie threw a freakin' [i]panda[/i] at him! Don't punish him for what he couldn't handle, come onnnn! Abram prepared for a his next attack, and Crispin was all but intimidated. "You know," Crispin spat. Great, another tooth. His dentist was going to hate him. "Maybe we wouldn't have had to bust your act if you didn't give us reason to!" He looked to Estelle for a moment, before returning his attention to the behemoth. Didn't seem his words were getting through, as Abram went on and threw another platform at the duo. These were smaller in size and less than heavy, as they were merely stands for the seals to perform atop - but that didn't make them any less lethal if they hit. Both Crispin and Estelle dodged without difficulty, but now they were split apart further. Perhaps this would work in their favor? A scream sounded off center stage. From where the brawler stood, he could easily see the halved tightrope and both girls making their way back on the ground, without losing sight of Abram. Not good, not good at all. That scarfed chick had helped so much keeping Isabella occupied while staying alive herself. Now with them on the ground, especially with Petra getting back to her feet... it was five on three. Petra wasted no time in charging after Aria, though she limped and staggered as she ran. Abram readied himself for another attack. Crispin twitched his lips at this as he began running around the stage's perimeter, distancing himself further from Estelle while simultaneously moving towards Abram's side. Just like the girl said, they had to stay focused. Take care of what's on hand first. If the duo could make a pincer attack during Abram's rage, or if one of them (probably him, most likely him) could distract the tamer while the other closed in... they could take Abram's wrath out of the equation. But Tammie went on and thew the whole thing off course. "Take this, meanie!" [img=http://i.imgur.com/tbkllrl.png] The girl lunged at him from behind, knives in hand. No doubt the 'darts' that were used in practices with her hat pre-shows. Crispin whirled around just in time to catch her coming straight at him, blades poised to dig into his face. This girl - her klutziness did not betray her killer intentions in the slightest. The brawler merely grimaced at this and punched her back. Tammie was jabbed right on her hands, the brass knuckles knocking the blades clean out of her grip, though the force of the punch sent the girl flying backwards where she had come from. She landed smack in the middle of a row of seats, a hair's width away from crashing her head onto a seat. In her daze she managed to catch a certain someone lying beneath the seats nearby her. Tammie pouted. Wasn't this guy with the two that were fighting her Maxie-Moo right now? Nooo he totally was! She couldn't forget how girly his garb was. Once she was stable enough to stand back on her feet, she brought Lucien up along with her, holding him by his shoulders. Then she started to shake him, violently. "Hey! Heeey! We're in the middle of a fight! What do you think you're doing, hiding back here!?" Before the boy could even react to her, she then slapped him as well. And as the fights continued to escalate further and further, the back curtains suddenly fluttered open. Amid all the chaos reigning within the big top, the two ringmasters stepped out. Anger warped their expressions as they watched their own beloved Isabella, Abram, and Tammie engaged in their own battles. Two animal plushes - a poodle and a blackbird - fell from Guinevere's bundle within her arms. Their surroundings were much too loud for them to be noticed immediately.
