Phillis Circus: Funhouse

“Ouch, ow, ouch!” Eric screamed as he was sent jostled from his feet and cracking against the floor of the barrel shaped corridor as it swayed too and fro, his body knocked unceremoniously to the ground from Moira’s own spill. Syed had crossed before them and helped to avoid such a nasty fall, and Xandra too did a quick, lithe hop over the pair just in time. Moira’s expletives and Eric’s painful wallows continued for some time until Moira was able to be rolled out back onto solid ground.

“Stupid piece of fucking shit trash…” Moira mumbled and cursed as she dusted herself off, walking off in a foul mood and frightening other customers as she stomped off. Eric behind nursed a bruised cheek and swollen eye with a small sob.

“Oh, piss and bollocks,” Moira shook her head as she and the other three reached the funhouses maze, littered with a bevy of stairs ascending and descending to the funhouse’s multitude of floors, all accompanied with walls of disorienting mirrors and brightly painted walls. “They’re just trying to fucking piss me off, aren’t they?”

“Relax,” Xandra smiled. “If we keep calm and carry on, we’ll be able to get through without a problem. Eric sent his niece might be in here, so if we search extremely carefully then we might be able to find her-”

“BALTIIIII~~~!!!”

Too late. Eric had already raced off, taking down a flight of steps and disappearing behind a corner as he woefully searched for his niece. His screams seemed to echo and shift all about the bewildered Moira, Syed and Xandra, becoming louder and quieter, emanating from their to right, above and below. The useless sod had already obviously gotten himself lost.

“…he seems to remind me of a certain someone…” Moira frowned, although she couldn’t remember what his name was.

“Baltiiii!!” Eric continued to scream. “I’m here to rescue youuuuu-AGHH!!”

Eric suddenly felt backwards onto his rear after slamming his whole body and face roughly into one of the maze’s solid walls- this one having been trickily painted to look like an extension of the corridor itself. The funhouse was a devious ride indeed.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Quick post, before we head out to Disneyland. I'm going to update Eric later today, and Rex has said she'll write a post later our time too (as well as set something up for Estelle and Aria, but we'll still discuss that). I hope everyone has an amazingly fun day!!!

Also lmfao Kei's triple post.

Phillis Circus: Big Top

"I guess we're not allowed in until the show is starting," Aria remarked with a huff, crossing her arms as she nodded to the sign posted at the entrance to the Big Top clearly marking how only Employees and Staff only were permitted. "Do you think we should try and sneak in? It wouldn't be very fun if we got caught, though."

“I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this,” Estelle said with a mischievous wink, spinning the side onto its plain blank white side, and striding forth to carefully begin walking inside. “If we’re careful, we might be able to sneak about without anyone seeing us. Also… actually… I just had a great idea…”

Aria’s eyes lit up with understanding, and her lips curled into a sly smile. The idea was sound, and she was glad that Estelle also thought of it. With a flicker of magic and concentration, the familiar forms of Estelle and Aria vanished as a trail of magic drifted from their heads down to their feet, transforming their clothing and appearance from the two Guilders into two, comically hilarious clowns. This should help make their infiltration of the Big Top a little bit easier, at the least.

“Nicely done, Ari!” Estelle said with a clap. “I trust I can count on you to make an illusion of me juggling, if we need to. Because I don’t… juggle.”

Suddenly, a large muffled crash came from somewhere near the back of the tent, something that both the illusionist and swordswoman nearly missed because of the noise coming from the crowds around them.

"Did you hear that?” Aria flicked an eyebrow up towards Estelle. “I wonder if they're rehearsing in the tent right now?"

“Sounds like it,” Estelle replied. “Let’s go take a look!”

She set off with a quickened pace, hurrying towards the sounds of the peculiar noise. As far as clues went, it was a good first start. Their footsteps scurried throughout the big top, and Estelle’s eyes darted from left to right, partially to look out for any other passing circus performers (whilst their clown makeup helped to cover up their facial features nicely, it could still be possible for regular performers to identify them as not being familiar members…), but mostly to gawp at the healthy, vibrant display of colours around them, from the rainbow hued streamers and seats, the other lavishly painted and decorated interior pieces of the mammoth tent. This really was quite something. Estelle was interested in what the circus’ main performance would actually look like. Hopefully they could solve this mission peacefully and watch the performance as well?

“Hmm…” Estelle’s feet screeched to a halt, her head shooting from side to side, her ears twitching as she tried to locate the source of any other strange sound. The area was rather barren as far as Estelle could see… there were props and other pieces of equipment in mid preparation around them, but nobody along with them. Aria jogged to a stop beside her. “This was where the sound came from, wasn’t it?” Estelle murmured. “I don’t see anything…”

Phillis Circus

“Hahaha! Oh, my beauties, you are all so very hungry, da?” A loud and hearty laugh echoed across the circus grounds, as a large, powerfully bare chested and muscular man walked back and forth without a single care in the world inside the lion’s cage. He carried huge slabs of raw meat, dripping in barbecue sauce, draped over his shoulder as he walked towards the fierce animal, crouching down next to it and petting it roughly atop its head, and rustling its mane with great delight. “Oh Lidya, your coat is so lustrous and shiny today! You make papa so very proud!!”

After the man continued to roughly rub and nuzzle the lion’s head, he suddenly stopped, his eyes blinking with realisation as he noticed the laces of his boots were untied. He tilted his head down, to focus his attention on retying these laces, as Lidya the lion’s nose twitched from the delicious smell of the meat before her. She opened her powerful jaws wide, and leaned forwards, slowly drawing nearer and nearer to both the meat and the man’s head…

“BAD LIDYA!” The man’s fist suddenly swung out, punching the lion fiercely in the cheek and sending it flying back with a crash against one of the cage’s four walls, the force of the blow almost enough to topple the whole metal and concrete cage over and onto said wall. The man stood up, shaking his head with a disappointed tut, and folding his bulging arms over his rippling chest. “How many times must you be told! You need to wait until told to eat, da? Snatching is bad!”

The man walked back over towards the lion, and bending down again, affectionately nursed the sobbing lion, and giving her her dinner. All around, the rest of the circus’ animals either tucked into their lunch or were waiting for their meals to be delivered. All the while, the large muscular man in charge of the circus’ beasts laughed heartily.

“Hmm… oh my, this is quite… something…” A soft voice littered with concern wafted from the body of a middle aged woman with full, plump lips, her face covered and enshrouded in her shawl and masked to all who looked at her. The woman, in her light blues robes with fanciful gold embroidery around the shoulders and bosom, twitched her lips with a slight shake of her head in disdain as her hands, reaching over her table, held on to the palms of another woman across from her. A blonde haired woman with the ends of her hair tied into braids, and piercing cold blue eyes and fixed stare, looked back to the fortune teller, silently waiting and listening as she conducted her reading.

“I sense great calamity approaching, Isabella,” The fortune teller spoke with a grimace. “Great turmoil is about to approach and consume your life… something that will shake your resolve and test your strength.”

The blonde woman frowned, but said nothing. She looked down at her palms, and the fortune teller’s hands that gripped them, before returning her gaze to the soothsayer.

“You have known great tragedy before in your life… a great despair. This impending trial… it does not extend to the same reach as such tragedy, but there is no denying that it is great. The anguish and devastation approaching will have profound… longlasting effects… and there’s no way to prevent it. It’s also a lot closer then you would think…”

Isabella continued to watch the oracle. She narrowed her eyes, cautiously watching, as the hooded and robed woman’s body started to move and twitch in agitation at first, and then fright. As she began to witness more and more of the disaster that was Isabella’s future, the more she found it was too much to bear. Clenching her teeth in great pain, the fortune teller started to writhe and ache, groaning slowly at first before emitting a high pitched scream, and wrenching her hands free of Isabella’s hands, standing up from her chair and backing away to one of the small tent’s walls.

Her chest rose and fell with heavy gasps.

“Isabella… it’s… it’s…”

The blonde woman frowned and shook her head, scraping her own seat backwards, and rising to her feet. She looked back to the fortune teller for but a brief moment.

“Thank you, Elisa,” She said, striding towards the exit. “That will be all.”

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Ack, Fox, I'm sorry to hear about the crap going on with your laptop. :/ Talk about massively inconvenient and frustrating! :/ I also hope this won't negatively affect your schoolwork in any way. ;A; I hope your laptop gets fixed up nice and proper this time, and super quickly too!!

...for some reason I imagined the computer people opening it up and discovering all this weird delicious candy and cute stuff inside like that teddybear operation video.

...I'm weird.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I don't have a personal problem with it, but it is kind of a pointless, nebulous detail to be asking.
