[b][u]Phillis Circus: Outside the Big Top[/b][/u]

Lily shrieked at Syed's deflection. At first it seemed as though she were absolutely horrified - but as it died down, it became clear: "Wowwww that's so COOL! We've never met anyone who could do that before! Stevie, did you see the way he...!" Once she realized her hands had been clapping together like an excited seal, she ceased it immediately and returned to a serious posture. "AHEM! No talk! There'll be no talk! If we let terrorists have the slightest chance"--she pointed her metal arms towards Moira's sword--"then who's to say you won't burn us down too!?"

In the midst of Lily's yammering, Poppy launched herself into the fight, dodging Moira's attack but missing Marcus' staff. Amy ignored any of the chatter going on and focused on her own spells; similarly to Marcus, she quickly buffed the defenses of the group of four.

"Uh, wait," Stevie stammered, still pivoting on his bent legs to get a clearer shot of the guilders. "Kidnapping stalker freaks? Lady, are you out of your mind? It's just a circus... even if you don't like clowns, that's not something you should be..."

"STEVIE! FOCUS!" Like Poppy, Lily also charged in after the four at a surprisingly fast pace. Sure the dude could deflect laser beams, but being squished by giant metal feet was another story in of itself. To back his sister up, Stevie focused on Moira and her sword - and shot forth another laser at her. Hopefully that geeky electric guy was too distracted with Lily and Poppy to deflect it...!

[b][u]Phillis Circus: Big Top - Audience Seating[/b][/u]

Trixie brought a hand to her chin, scratching it thoughtfully as Xandra peered over the cushions for another look. She turned back to the prankster with a vague idea in mind, but... Trixie was already gone, stalking between the rows and walking aisles to get closer to the brewing battle. Specifically, closer to Tammie and Lucien. Lucy was the closest one to her, and if both she and Xandra could free him from that witch's grasp, then there'd be no way the baddies onstage could stop them! All Supersis and Crispy had to do was... live a little longer! But why were they fighting? Did someone switch sides behind her back again?

"Hey! Hey!" Tammie whirled around, coffee mug still in hand. Lucien inched away to avoid spillage. "I hear you! I hear you whispering to yourself! Come out wherever you are, or else! Burning hot drink! Lots of it! And no warning tags whatsoever! Try and sue me! See if I--"

A plume of green smoke enveloped the small region. Tammie's face paled. "Peeeeeyew! What on Ddaear do you guys eat? That shit's nassstay! You know, we do have portaloos in the back. All ya had to do was ask, but instead you come 'round here and set fire to the place!"

"Oh my cheesy omelets, [b]shut up!"[/b] Trixie finally cried out. She pounced out from her hiding spot and tackled into Tammie, knocking her away from Lucien - and also knocking the drink out of her hand. "You are so annoying!!" Her voice would've sound a lot less comical had it not been for the clothespin clamped over her nose. But the stink bomb did its job, and now the two brats were wrestling with one another on the floor.

Meanwhile, Lucien-- "Oh, oh Gods, hot! Hot hot hot hot!" He rolled back and forth haphazardly, as if he himself were on fire. Tears streamed down his face as he cried out for mercy. "Hot hot hot hot hot!!" While doing this he bumped the fallen mug, causing it to rock away and spill more steaming hot fluids onto the flooring.
