[color=wheat]"Thrilling isn't the word I'd use for it."[/COLOR] He said flatly. "I knew a witch who had enchanted her doorway. Anyone who stepped through was greeted by small fireworks. It'd surprise you how many burnt their eyebrows because of that one."[/COLOR] Nerissa's comment on drinks made him raise an eyebrow. [COLOR=WHEAT]"What, you don't like wine?"[/COLOR] He asked. [COLOR=WHEAT]"What do you think we drank before our worlds were separated? The likes of Medea, Solomon, or the Queen of Sheba drank back in the day?"[/COLOR] Percy sniffed. [COLOR=WHEAT]"It certainly wasn't butterbeer, I'll assure you that."[/COLOR] 

It took him a while to attract the waiter's attention, but when he finally got it, he ordered something faintly reminiscent of a Pinot. Watered down, and with the price jacked up. Exactly what he had expected from the establishment. His attempt to complain, however, was drowned by the crowd's applause. The woman in the bunny costume didn't wait for it to die down. She began announcing the main act immediately. Halfway through, Percy shot a questionable look at Nerissa. [COLOR=WHEAT]"Harlot of Vegas?"[/COLOR] He whispered incredulously. Was this really who the American agency had paired them up with? 

He jerked his head back to the stage when her announcement was cut-off. He grasped for his wand in reflex, only to see the anvil drop on the woman. Had it not been for how calm the personnel handing out menu cards were, he would've tried to intervene. Percy eyed the stage with a puzzled look. [COLOR=WHEAT]"She seems to have a morbid sense of humor."[/COLOR] smoke burst from the anvil and the blaring of trumpets filled the hall. [COLOR=WHEAT]"I'm sure the two of you will get along."[/COLOR] He muttered, reluctantly clapping along with the crowd. He came to realize that it was the backbone of her act too, when she produced a pistol. 

And it didn't take her long to fire it. 

Percy jumped, more so from the sudden cries of the audience than the sound of the revolver. Her firing the revolver, well, that much he had expected. The second she placed it against her temple, however, he had to stop himself from uttering a shield charm. 

[COLOR=WHEAT]"I'm convinced that this woman is as mad as they get."[/COLOR] He said, following with a delayed [COLOR=WHEAT]"No offense."[/COLOR]
