The Dream Guardian wandered down halls, making his way toward the main medical hall. He was wrapped in his own thoughts, thinking about the message Rue gave him. 'Maybe I'm just overthinking it...' He finally came to that conclusion after running fingers through his hair. There was no point trying to figure out why Seishu would care to send Rue to apologize. It was just kept as him staying concerned with the Balance. Seishu's kingdom was falling, and it wouldn't be wise to cause any other trouble. The Dream guardian fixed his own selfishness and went over to the room the soldiers were being held.
Enasi brightened seeing that most of them were looking well, and on their feet. "Wonderful." He smiled and nodded towards the few that greeted him. The guardian approached one soldier who was still laying down and unconscious. "Will he be okay?" His eyes met the familiar sheep doctor who was scribbling something on his chart. "Yes sir. He'll be fine in no time thanks to Crios. There was a hole in stomach thanks to those leeches... But our head doctor handled it fine." There was a hidden hostility in his voice as he spoke of the nightmares who harmed the soldier.
"You're anger will solve nothing Iro. Just continue helping our own." The guardian's voice was soothing, showing no sign of anger or rash feelings towards the nightmares.
"Pardon me for speaking out Lord Enasi," Iro paused and everyone's attention turned curiously towards the two. It almost seemed as if he was trying to get everyone's attention. "I don't understand the things that are happening lately. You've let the Nightmare Guardian rest here in leisure. I guess I understand it's for Balance, but to be so friendly is highly... Odd." The guardian listened, not showing any signs of being phased. The others gave shocked expressions, some even agreeing with sheep doctor. "Not only this, but you're letting one of our own be around that monster. He is a child, so whatever that monster days will sink into his head. He'll become a tainted dream. This needs to end-." Enasi raised his hand for him to silence. Iro followed orders, though fuming with irritation.
"Iro, you are one of my best doctors. I understand you're confusion, but you should know- you should all know, that I have reasons for what I am doing." He looked at everyone, giving a serious look. "We are all aware of the balance that must be preserved, but I am being friendly to my counterpart in order from keeping him angry. Iro, do you realize how many more injuries would take place if the Nightmare Guardian was to lash out, out of anger? Surely you should know. You've been working here for years. As for Rue, he is only a child. Leave him be. He is fine." With a sincere look, he continued. "All I ask...is for your trust... What good can I do if you all don't trust me?"
This left an immediate guilty look on the sheep's face. "My apologies Sir. I-I never meant to doubt your actions. Please forgive me." Humbly, everyone else, bowed or bowed their heads in respect. "It's okay. I understand your confusion, it was to be expected. But now that you know, please, continue helping our own and honoring what I say." He received a nod, and Iro turned to do his job.
A musical chime sounded twice throughout the Cloud Kingdom. Enasi grinned softly and hurried out. With all that was going on, he almost forgot about the feast! Every time the battles ended, the guardian honored all the soldiers and other staff because of their valiant efforts. "It's almost time, it's almost time!"
~~~~~
"Alright everyone! Get everything set for the feast." A chef yelled out over the commotion of food being created and put into serving trays. "Oh Cho?" Enasi stuck his head into the large kitchen, knowing it was dangerous to go inside the busy kitchen at times like this. The head chef beamed and walked over to the door. "Lord Enasi! It is nice to see you. The food is almost ready, never fear!" Cho was a dream, one of the more human creations of the the realm. He was taller than the guardian, and bright red hair poked out from under the chef's hat he wore. "Actually, everything is being set now. We an ring the second chime now if you like." Enasi laughed as the head chef rambled. "I was only coming to make sure everything was fine. But if everything is ready, we can ring the chime." The guardian departed and watched as food was set out.
~~~
Chimes rang for the second time, and Ensy was sitting amongst the many who worked in the kingdom. From soldiers to doctors to the janitors. From dreams to minions alike. They all stood and looked up as Enasi stood before them. "I won't bore you with the same speech given countless times before, but I'll say this. You all worked hard and fought well. This isn't in my honor, but in all of yours. Without you all, this kingdom- no this realm would fall. So, enjoy! From the best chefs in the Dream Realm!"
An uproar of cheers sounded before everyone began to eat and enjoy the festivities. For the few that were stuck in the infirmary, soldiers went in bringing drinks and food for them so they were able to enjoy themselves as well.
Enasi weaved through the crowd holding two plates. One for Rue, and one for Seishu. He knew the guardian wouldn't come through and Rue wasn't going to leave his side. So he decided to carry some food to them. Not many noticed him leave, but it wasn't like he wasn't going to come back eventually.
"Rue, Seishu~ Here you go." He called, pushing the door opened. "I got it from the party- well obviously. But I'm assuming neither of you had a decent meal. So, here you go." Enasi gave an innocent smile as he handed them the plates.

Ones created by humans, the others born in the realm. That actually is a good differentiation of the two. I never thought of that. Ha, you should've said something earlier! Now that I have that clarification, I can most definitely make it so the first second in command was killed and Harper stepped in.
And I already have an idea for my next post so I'll let you have it. Don't worry, I'll try it out though~
Future stuff:
Going to earth? I agree, I agree! Rue getting captured? It'll happen!

Crios: One of those higher up dreams that won't deal with Seishu's attitude? Haha, they are always fun to have around.
I love the RP so far, what about you? More of~ maybe how progress for the taking over the Nightmare Realm (and then the universe! Oh wait I meant Dream Realm) is going. (Of course, I can always help with that. I just want an okay if we both agree) Less of? I'm not exactly sure.
Future~ I was thinking that sometime when Seishu was mostly healed up and was ready to go home, Enasi would have to go to the other realm (experiencing the Nightmare Realm) and either help Seishu or something (we can both think of). Maybe to add the dramatics, Rue ends up getting kidnapped by Gin. Because why not drama haha.
What about your ideas?

Oh the freedom of the Realms, anything is possible XD
But great!
We have a good bundle of side characters. Hehe, of course more will be added when we start moving towards the Nightmare Realm too.

Main idea:
Dimension traveler~ My character
That "unlucky" human~ Your character
Should we put a brief about our characters? At least name and a general appearance.
Aki and Glaw said Well, the idea that -since you wanted some sort of non-serious style rp- I was thinking that a Dimension traveler stuck in another dimension (low tech earth) (18th century circus) , makes friends with a local, but gets attacked regularly by dimension traveling enemies. Why he/she is getting attacked? Because s/he stole the item used for dimension traveling. (Reasons may vary) Now the local is sort of stuck in the situation having to help.
It gives a lot of freedom to make up dimensions and go adventuring and what not. It also gives room to make villain characters and other side characters per dimension.

Oh my, these new characters sound quite entertaining. I feel Ace is going to find Lesley exciting, and she'll mess with Vincent. Just because~
A demon hunting company you say? Well that sounds quite interesting, but you can't do such a thing all lonely like. You need a partner, or group for RPs silly Sweet. If you did it by yourself, you'd be making a story.
You too?
I think I'm coming down with a cold... *must kill sickness before it gets worse* Take your nap, sleep your sickness away.

Instead of the voice she expected, another so familiar spoke for the Wishmaster. "Distressed be Miss Air of Heaven? Fret not Sweet One! Pair with Andracos you ought to - for no harm will befall thee whilst at my side." The air Elemental's blue eyes found the source, but she stayed silent. Pairing with Andracos didn't sound like a good idea at all, but Ty didn't have the courage to say such. Thankfully, Mr. Seil interrupted his ideas and moved them along.
It made nothing better when Andracos revealed that matters were much worse than they appeared. In fact, it made another chorus of murmurs rumble, only to be silenced once again. She caught Mr. Seil's glowering eyes toward the siren, but looked away from them. Once she heard him call her by name in his sweet tone her eyes met his. It was a little disheartening to know that victims were being taken at random. This meant it was possible that even she could be next. It was more than unnerving. The carnival was meant to be safe for the workers there- maybe not for the wandering eyes that were dazzled by the shows, but indeed the workers were to be safe. Supposedly.
She found herself mildly amused as Pachid insisted the siren sat down and stayed quiet. Ty noticed it was much more movement that he ever was used to, only making things more comedic. Towards Mr. Seil's joke, she smiled gently in amusement. Her eyes met CeCi's and she returned the smile she was given, with a softer one. Their contact was short lived as others seemed to have questions as well. The next that questioned was Starla. Although she admired the dancer greatly, the question she had brought up a few inner protests. If the strongest disappeared, who would protect the ones that were still at the Carnival? If this criminal could slip under Mr. Seil's view, the others certainly had no match.
But Ty didn't speak out against the idea. She just let Starla's question be answered by the others' protest and Mr. Seil. No one else seemed to have anything to say, indicating that Mr. Seil could end the meeting and open the carnival.
One 'silly conversation' went between the three friends, Andracos, Pachid, and Arina. It was rather loud. Did they not care about their situation? That conversation only grew louder when Soren decided to put his own two cents in. They were so uncaring weren't they? Hopefully they didn't carelessly get kidnapped... She'd never wish that among her fellow carnival people. Right after the childish acts, another voice spoke up. To Vox's question, Ty did hold another bout of concern, but she sighed. At that moment, what was done had been done. Now it would've been best to stay alert.
And again, after Vol and everyone else had been answered, they were all left to their own conversations, Mr. Seil watching them all. Ty didn't move from her seat. She eyed the many different mythical beings, wondering who would disappear next? Would it be painful and a struggle? Or would it be quick and silent? One minute someone would be doing their daily job, and the next they'd be gone? The thought was almost exhilarating. Who would be next? Who would be next? She wasn't the strongest person in the carnival and she didn't believe she held as much value as the mythical beings like the angels, vampires, and sirens. But, Ty was 'rare', considering she was the last air elemental of her kind.
Her train of thought was startled by such a stern voice from Mogue. It was amazing how the little dwarf managed to get so much respect from them, but then again, Mogue was second in command. 'A shut down? There has never been one before... This is really serious.' In all her years, Ty had never experienced a shut down, maybe a clean up or short break to look for something, but nothing as serious as now.
But it was secondary now. The 'twits and twats' had to be on their way. Five o'clock was fast approaching, and she needed to get ready for her act. Everyone began to pile out of the theater, and she weaved through the crowd giving a few greetings or short answers where they were needed.
~~~
"Mommy, mommy, the carnival is starting! Come on! Let's go see the lady that flies through the air!"
"You want to go to the trapeze tent first? Okay sweetie, let's go."
Ty looked into a mirror as she tied her hair up into a ponytail with a silver ribbon. She had her left eye painted over with a red star, keeping to the color scheme of her attire for the day. She wore a red leotard with silver glittered all over it. Her tights were a silvery color as well. The contrast seemed to brighten her eyes more so as the day grew dim. "It's show time Ty." A stage helper called out. She gave a simple nod, before walking to her designated area, which of course was the trapeze tent.
The lights were off, and she could hear the murmurs of people wondering what was about to happen. A spotlight shined down on Ty and she gave a smile. Her smile was mysterious alone and caused everyone to quiet down and give their full attention. 'An introduction~ the applause~ the lights~ the music~ and begin' She remembered to thank CeCi for her wonderful help with it all.
It all started with a simple bound on the trampoline she stood upon. One great jump, and Ty was in the air, deciding to do a few flips before she grasped onto the bar that was swung towards her.
Already, she was given an applause. She lifted herself onto the bar and stood, holding the sides. This was when the real magic began. She began leaning back and forth, back and forth, so she began to swing until she was high enough to jump off, doing a split in the air. Ty gave a small prideful smirk when she got the reaction she did from the audience. From the crowd's view, Ty looked as if she defied laws of gravity staying in the air for so long managing to do a few flips before catching the trapeze bar once more as another was pushed to her. The crowd was in shock and amazement as she performed. A few of the tricks had put people on the edge of their seat. It looked as though she wouldn't catch the rope or bars in time and she'd end up falling to her doom- but that was never the case.
No one ever noticed the gentle breeze that blew through the tent. And no one was ever close enough to feel the faster winds that kept her gliding and balancing through the air.
The last act she performed for the opening crowd was with a sturdy silk ribbon connected to a swivel, allowing the ribbon to spin.
This was one of the most graceful and stunning of her acts. The lights went off for a single blue spotlight of her, and the music was much more peaceful and slow than the daring and exciting rhythms before. There was a series of twirls and movements, and times where she'd let go, falling down the ribbon only to be stopped by a tie in them. This made some gasp in awe and fear.
But in the end, she gave an outstanding performance. Just as she always did. When it was done, and the music faded, the dark haired girl loosened her grip on the ribbon and slid down to land on the trampoline. Ty gave a bow when she was finally on solid ground and was praised with a standing ovation. She gave that mysterious smile again and then the lights went off indicating it was time to go.
She slipped back into the dressing room to put sweatpants and a solid red shirt over her outfit in order to go to the vendors and grab a snack. Before she left, she removed the face paint but left the sparkly silver ribbon in her hair.
"Oh, I should definitely thank CeCi for the help with my performance." She felt the technician deserved the praise. Without the angel, she wouldn't be able to have such a moving performance. And none of the audience gave the backstage help applause.

I despise sickness with such a burning passion. I need to get rid of the one that's threatening to come about.
