The shooting gallery is indeed there, a Corgi wearing a vest and jeans manning it as he leans across the counter, that professional bored look of a games worker plastered across his muzzle before Redd appears. "Ahhh, looking to try your hand at a few rounds? See if you can't hit the birdie eh?" He asks, that grin turning sharp. | The shooting gallery is indeed there, a Corgi wearing a vest and jeans manning it as he leans across the counter, that professional bored look of a games worker plastered across his muzzle before Redd appears.

"Doesn't look very popular does it..." He shrugs, before following after Razz. "Why'd you pick the hall of mirrors anyways?"<br> <br>The coyote picks up a rifle from those arrayed infront of him, breaking the action open to peer down the barrel before setting it down and picking up a different one. "Hrm. These have seen better days, methinks. How many shots do I get and how much. Also curious if you've sighted these in." He holds it steady, checking the sight picture against the view down the barrel. "I think I'll try this one."<br> <br>Razz shrugs "why not? Always wanted to go in one, never had the chance, simple as." he Grins. "Hehe-that reflection" he says grinning. "so-what you want to do?" he asks, Grinng as he eyesthe reflections. <br> <br>Jackle moves over to the the Strength machine, giving it a once over before looking over at the bear, and by extension, Fenris, idly moving to take the hammer and giving his own attempt at using the hammer.<br> <br>Edel nibbles down her funnel cake in short order, making her way up to the strength testing game. "I'll give it a go, too!" says the short woman with a grin. She slots the empty plate into the rubbish before patting her fingers off and flexing and waiting behind Jackle for her own try.<br> <br>Thelergramor watches the tanuki swing the hammer, then swallows the rest of his food and licks powder from his muzzle. Has no hands right now... "I'd try next, but... Swinging a hammer with my muzzle would be difficult. Funny, but difficult." Foxnods, smirks at the thought... Then watches Edel wander over. "Heh. I may shift, just to give it a try..."<br> <br>Each time the Hammer is swung, each time the weight goes up but none can reach the bell. "Nice try you lot." Came the words of encouragment from the Bear, trying to hide a grin behind his hand as he just chuckles. "If you want you can give it one more try I guess." He teases, his face growing serious once more as he crosses his arms over his chest. |
| + | |||
| + | "...Eh? Cleaned? I just run the booth, I don't clean or mess with any of it." a bag is placed in front of Redd, containing twenty bbs for the gun. "Hit at least ten of the birdies and you get a prize." | ||
| + | |||
| + | The reflections are distorted, some look fun wide and chubby or short and funny while others look just weird, skinny, distorted. But one mirror, one mirror out of the bunch is strange, there is nothing. No reflection, not even a hint of Razz's form as he passes by it.<br> <br>Fenris frowns at the hammer in his hand, then adjust his shirt over his fat belly. "Yeah," he says, "I'll give it one more shot!" The tanuki takes a couple of steps back, make a little jumping start, the leaps into the air, executing a perfect front flip, his signature tanuki endownments suddenly swelling to the size of boulders and slamming onto the strike pad with the full force of Fenris's weight and momentum! Not, perhaps in the spirit of the game, but certainly a very tanuki approach.<br> <br>Fengl shrugs as a reply to Razz's question. "Oh, I just stuck along mainly. No point being alone at a carnival. Hmm, these aren't very fancy are they?" He doesn't pay much attention to the mirrors, only the one without a reflection seems to catch his attention. He sniffs at it, before pointing it out. "Well, something interesting at least."<br> <br>Redd nods, "I'll take that as a no, they probably haven't been sighted in for these." He shrugs, almost casually, before loading the first bullet into the gun and firing. Making note of where it lands, he reloads and aims again, this time with an offset. He continues this pattern, trying to get each bullet into a different target.<br> <br>"Suppose still nice to have you wi-" he trails off and eyes the mirror. "now that IS interesting" he asks, poing it. "Hrrm What's up with you then?" he asks, eyeing it Carefully a small grin growing on his muzzle. "also find the most curious things in the strangest places."<br> <br>Jackle slowly begins to take the hammer, rubbing his hands together, before pulling the hammer back and slamming it back down, turning around seemlessly from the strength tester. Managng a shrug as he looks at the bear "Hey, could you come prove that this is possible to people who dont have huge balls?"<br> <br>Edel shakes her head, tail curling around her paws again. "That's alright! I've got no desire to try again! This has never been my strong point," she says with a soft chuckle before moving off towards the target range, instead! "This isn't my strong point, either, but... Maybe I'll have better luck here!"<br> <br>Thelergramor watches Fenris front flip, chuckles softly. Eyes the bell, though, assuming it's rigged... Ponders... "...No, grenade wouldn't work... Nope." Fox continues to wonder on the validity of this... Terrible plan. Decides against it. "...No, not doing that." Idly scratches at his ear, then walks over to Jackle and sniffs at a bit. Has not met this one...<br> <br>The Weight sails into the air, hitting the bell with a DIG! A hollow one at that as the bell continues to quiver, the weight now stuck in it as the bear just stares. "....Never seen that before, guess you win...So, here's a prize." With a grumble a teady bear is handed off to Fenris for his efforts, the brown little fuzzy thing staring at the Tanuki with black glass eyes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It took a bit, but Redd finally hit the mark! But, there is no ding, the target doesn't fall back. Instead, it's the sound of the BB hitting flesh, crimson blossoming from the impact as the target starts to shudder and twitch against the rope keeping it in place. Seems the birdie's weren't just a nice little nickname for the targets. "Good job, you got one! Pesky little bastards." Exclaimed the Corgi, thumbing his fist against the counter in congradulations, his smile losing warmth as it grows sharp. "Now, how about we get a few more for a prize hmmm? Maybe you'll even get a pie at the end of it." | ||
| + | |||
| + | The mirror in the Hall was strange yes, there was no reflection of the two, no reflection of anyone as both Fengl and Razz stare at it, but that doesn't stop the boards behind them from creaking under the weight of something just behind Razz, heavy breathing just out of reach of the Wolf's ear.<br> <br>Fenris grins and takes the teddy bear! "Thanks!" he says happily, "Never won a carnival game before! You know that some people claim that they are actually rigged? Glad to see that they were wrong! Pleasure to meet an honest bear!" The tanuki produces another deep fried treat from his bag and meanders back toward the food stall. "I think I'll go stock up on treats and head for the big top," he informa anyone who might be interested, "After all that exercise, I am starving!"<br> <br>Jackle pot<br> <br>Fengl's ears twitch as the floorboards creak. Then, with a flash he turns around, concealed blade in hand. The blade seems to move as if it had a life of its own, twirling, its surface shimmering like oil on water. His entire demeanor seems to change, lighthearted cheerfullness gone in an instant. <br> <br>His costume seems to flicker out of excistence, replaced by his plain gray shirt and shorts.<br> <br>"I'll pass on a second round at the birds. If I can't be certain what exactly I'm shooting, I'm not continuing." Redd turns towards the corgi, eyes narrowed. "Though, I am tempted to put a certain sick dog down. But I'll be civil." He drops something into the breach of the rifle, the material solidifying quickly in the barrel. "Perhaps you should learn to at least clean the guns, once in a while."<br> <br>Razz tilts his head "huh How...Curious.." he sats, teh tentacles on his Back Sliding out as his ears twitches. "Cant say I've seen a mirror do that Before. "his Right hand pulls the Scian Free On his waist, the daggers Glinting slightly as he Taps it on the mirror. "wonders how they do that?" he asks, not Reacting at all to Fengl's 'outburst'<br> <br>Jackle turns his head to Telergramor, sniffing him in turn, deciding that he was probably a fox snififng at a wolf before starting to move around the circus, trying to find somethng to do, mostly looking into the more minor tents.<br> <br>Edel tilts her head, watching Redd quietly for a few moments before humming. "This is an interesting variation of the game. Live targets? Can't say I've seen that before," she comments, before grinning. "Shame I can't use a bow!"<br> <br>Thelergramor smiles up at Jackle before he heads off, then, being Thel... Sort of just follows after him. Quietly. Or, not quietly. "So... Yeah. You, I don't know. How's it going?" Fox walks along, paws making little noise as they fall, still licking powder from his face. Finally gets all of it. Clean fox!<br> <br>Redd is greated with that smile once more, the Corgi leaning forward on his left Elbow, his right hand sliding under the counter. "My my, someone has a bit of a temper. We did warn you this was the Circus of fear no?" He asks, his ears flicking just a bit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Fengl turns, the blade singing through the air as it sinks into. Nothing. There was nothing there, not right in front of them, but Razz can feel it as something wraps around his ankle, digging tight into the flesh before yanking the poor wolf off balance, tugging hard against his strength before two more tendrils lash out from the darkness behind the pair in a futile effort to drag Razz away, slowly pulling him towards a darkened corridor. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Fenris gets nothing but a smile from the bear as he leaves, a wave from a few people that he walks by on his way to the Big top. As he gets closer he can hear something, faint at first but it starts to slowly grow as he moves closer to the big top. Fabric popping, rapidly from the sound of it.<br> <br>Fenris holds his new teddy bear under his arm and frowns a little at the strange sound. "Didn't think it was so windy," he says to no one, "I hope everything is alright, I like this carnival!"<br> <br>Fengl blinks in surprise as his blade wiffs. He turns to look at Razz being dragged away. He rushes, trying to hack at the tendrils, frowing intently. His ears twitch as he listens for any other movement. <br> <br>Razz Blinks as he GEts Tugged, not that he moves very Far. "Well that's Not nice.." the Wolf GRowls before barking as three rahter large ice shards appear and try to stab into teh Tendrils. "how about you FUCK OFF?" he Roars, his own tentacles also lashing out at the tendrils as he snarls loudly,sorta hopingthat the others heard or could hear him, he did NOT wnat to see what they were for....or from..<br> <br>Jackle manages a shrug while peeking into tents "I'm Jackle, Jack for short. Its going well, but somethings nagging at me...Probably just the smell of pasteries. Kinda bored to be honest."<br> <br>"Don't think for a second I didn't hear that." Redd's hand catches the corgi's right elbow. "And based on how you maintain these rifles, I'd say you ain't have a snowballs chance in hell to hit me somewhere it actually hurts." He holds the corgi's arm there, keeping it underneath the table. "Let that hammer down softly, and I'll let go. Otherwise, you'll probably be needing a glass eye, and some time in a full body cast.<br> <br>Edel tilts her head, watching the scene between Redd and the Corgi with an ever-present smile. It's a slight one, though. "Now, now. Let's relax, hm? This is a night for trying to have -fun-. Not for bloodying hands," she says sternly, fixing both of them with a disappointed mother gaze.<br> <br>Thelergramor sniffs at the air, then. "That might just be me, now. Since I'm following you around, Jack. And, call me Thel. Nice meeting you. Also, did you see that gator back there? Woof~ right? Or was that just me? Probably just me." The fox nods, shrugs a bit. Sniffs more, though, ear flicking back towards the others...<br> <br>There is a Snarl as the tentacles are Attacked, blood splattering across the wall and on Razz before they yank themselves free. "Son of a Corgi bastard!" Came a femine shout from down the hall before the owner of the voice flees, their footsteps easily heard as they make a break for it after the onslaught. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Redd gets a glare, the smile gone, but the Corgi lets up on the guns hammer, flicking the safety on with a click. "Let me go, and leave this booth. Unless you think you can take on all of us. Besides, ain't the Ringmaster got something in store for ya?" The corgi states, as more then one set of eyes trains on Redd for his actions, bored game workers finally seeming to come to life at the commotion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The tearing sound stops for a moment as Fenris reaches the big top, light spilling out of the tents entrance as he can hear cursing, the Ringmasters voice ringing out. "Mora! Mora, where are you you deaf bitch!"<br> <br>Fenris does not much like the sound of that. "That is no way for a civilized person to act!" he says, then hesitates. In a crazy world like this one, that ringmaster might be talking about a literal deaf bitch. But the angry tone suggested otherwise. "Maybe he'll be nicer if there are customers around," he says, hugging his teddy to his chest and shouldering his way through the tent flap. "Hello?" he calls, "Is it time for the show yet?"<br> <br>Fengl blinks in surprise at the very ordinary yelloing as someone flees. He scratches his head, blade disappearing back into its sheath. "Well, that was interesting to say the least. Don't know what I was expecting from the carnival of terror." He holds out a hand to Razz in an effort to help him up.<br> <br>"Fair enough, but if I hear that hammer being cocked... I'm not giving a warning before breaking your arm next time." Redd lets go of the dog's arm, appearing to simply vanish before the coyote passes the next stall. A few moments later, he shows up again near the Tanuki. "If there were a place that exemplified bad vibes, this hellhole is it." He mumbles under his breath.<br> <br>Razz Sighs and Frowns."so.. was that theIdea of a trick then?" he muses chuckling slightly. "oh well, his sheathes the Scian and stretches slightly as his tentacles withdraw "lets go and try to find the otehrs, shall we? i've grown....Bored of this hall" he smiles to teh cat before looking at where teh tendrils came from, muttering something under his breath as he does so.<br> <br>Jackle turns back to Thel "No I get you. Woof...~! I wonder if she'd mind getting her tail held, or-" stops mid-lusty talking, clearing his throat as he looks at Thel's ears. Sniffing the air in turn. "Whatcha hearing?"<br> <br>"Yes, the gator certainly was something," Edel agrees, stretching her arms out and folding them behind her head as she passes Thel and Jackle. When she got there from the shooting tent is anyone's guess, but she's already on the move again, off towards the big tent. "I might be feeling inspired to be a gator for a while," she comments idly to herself.<br> <br>Thelergramor scratches at his ear again. "Eh, nothing. Bits of... words. Nothing worth mentioning. We, or you, or just me, should get her info later though... Because, yeah, woof~" Fox snickers as Edel passes. "Still got nothing on you, Edel." Yips approvingly "Right... I'mma head back to the big tent, Fenris said he was going there and they might have something for us. Rest might be too.." He then Foxes back on to the tent, stopping only for a moment to sniff the ground. Squints, has urge to find a good spot to mark here... Suppresses it for tent though!<br> <br>As Fenris and co enter the Big top the scene is revealed, the preperations had been underway. The Cage in the center had been set up, chairs, stool and other assortment of items set within perfect for a lion tamer to show off their act. And as soon as people Enter the Ringmaster freezes in his work, a sheet half way torn clutched in his hands as his eyes widen, a deer in the headlights before he regains his composure. "Eh, uh. I thought I said to go have fun with the games until the main attraction was prepared did I not?" He asks, his ears up right as he clasps his right hand behind his back.<br> <br>Fenris is embarrassed for the poor fennec. "Oh!" he cries, "I am so sorry! I thought it might be ready and I wanted to get a good seat!" The burly tanuki continues to munch on his treats while clutching his bear under a free arm, "Should we come back? Super sorry! Really! We'll just come back." He stops, mid-turn and looks back. "Unless you need some help?" he offers, ever helpful.<br> <br>Fengl follows by Razz's side, twirling with much less enthusiasm as his costume reappears. He seems much more alerts, ears twitching, eyes darting around. His posture is also noticeable different, almost crouched he looks like he's ready to spring at a moments notice.<br> <br>"I'll pass on more games, besides, I'd much rather be doing something." Redd shrugs, his eyes watching the fennec's expression closely. "Not sure they'll let me back onto the midway in any case."<br> <br>Razz Sighs and Hums as he walks before turning and headding for a food stand. "Hrrm what we got?" he asks,looking it over "hrrm i'll have some of that.. and that... and Mrrrm." he nods, taill wagging behind him, the wolf seemingly not caring about waht happened in teh hall of mirrors.<br> <br>Jackle manages a shrug and begins to head after Thel, placing his hands on the back of his head and scartching himself, focusing mainly behind his own ears as he follows along. "I would be up for a 'we'. But. I have gotta be honest, are you getting a bad vibe too? It just seems like there isnt that many people around...Oh right, fear place. Huh." As soon as the ring master says he wasnt ready he immediately heads off to find a booth. Maybe a kissing booth or a meat food booth.<br> <br>Edel frowns a little at the lack of readiness within the tent! And so she turns and resumes on her way, tapping her chin. "Where to, where to," she says before eyeing the funhouse. "Hmm... Why not!" She says, shrugging caution to the wind and wandering off in that direction.<br> <br>Thelergramor shrugs and answers Jackle. "Only a little, but I thought that was the point. I'm not concerned." Then just eyes the surprised Ringmaster for a few moments, letting the others do the talking while Fox starts trying to remember why he showed up unarmed on Halloween... Forgets, looks over the room, then stares at that cage. The cage: He wants it. A small rumblinb sound leaves the Fox, starts eyeing the room conspiratorially... Searches for something to hide behind. Small as he is, could possibly sneak in there.<br> <br>Those big ears flick, eyes dart a bit. "No no, I've got this handled if you can't go to the midway you can always check out the food stalls." He speaks rapidly, his left hand tightening on his cane. "Either way shoo, Shooo so I can fi-" That's when Mora bursts in through the other side, covered in blood and cursing as she drags along her damaged Tentacles. "Bad news Reg, they aren't gonna be easy pickings like last timmmmmmmm, sonofabitchinhell." She stops short as she notices the party, and the Fennecs ears droop rather quickly as he realizes the curtain has fallen.<br> <br>Fenris frowns. "Easy pickings?" he asks, his usually sunny face darkening, "That does not sound like the kind of lighthearted scares I was hoping for." The tanuki stuffs the last of his treat in his mouth and his teddy bear into his pack. (It is bigger on the inside.) "Something you feel like saying?" he asks.<br> <br>Fengl stands on his toes, easing up slightly as they leave the hall. He doesn't touch the food, still not ready to trust the carnival, but at least he's calm enough to not jump at any and all sudden noises.<br> <br>"Suppose you ought to start packing early, then." Redd comments, walking up to the fennec. "I'd say ya'lls best bet would be to skip town. And fast. After all, looks like your gator friend got off lightly." He grins, scooping the fennec up into his arms. "I feel like I'm obligated to show you what can happen to people who don't play nice out here."<br> <br>Razz hums and noms some foods before Padding with the otehrs over to the tent "sooo what's up?" he asks Idly. "oh and for the reccord I was attacked in teh house of mirrors." he nods. "grinning. "just saying."<br> <br>Edel pauses midstep and backtracks her way into the tent, ears flicking at the words she caught. "Is there to be a brawl? If there is, I want in on it! If not, we should probably scoot. I'm starting to get the feeling we aren't welcome!"<br> <br>Thelergramor just eyes the surprised Ringmaster for a few moments, letting the others do the talking while Fox starts trying to remember why he showed up unarmed on Halloween... Forgets, looks over the room, then stares at that cage. The cage: He wants it. A small rumbling sound leaves the Fox, starts eyeing the room conspiratorially... Seeing as how, there's shit going down... "If there's a brawl, Edel, I'm keeping the cage. I... don't know why." Starts stalking towards it, foxily...<br> <br>IF the poor Fennecs ears could droop anymore they would as Redd steps up, eyes darting back and forth for a moment as he sucks in a breath. "Guess the jig is up, might as well finish this eh?" He comments, his right hand coming up towards Redd with sparks of electricity falling off it, that's until it comes into contact with Redd, the current shorting out instantly leaving the little Fennec blinking in shock. ".....I hate you people." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mora springs into action as well, but instead of just rushing into the attack she reaches into a crate nearby, pulling out a double barreled shotgun and letting loose with both barrels pointed at Thele<br> <br>Fenris nods matter-of-factly to Edel. "Could be a brawl, yes," he says, "Could be that. Or," he says with a but of emphasis, "This could be an opportunity for learning." The big tanuki rolls up the sleeves on his jack-o-lantern t-shirt and gives the big croc a meaningful look as he does so. "What do you think it is, Miss?" he asks, frowning, seeing that the fennec has his hands full.<br> <br>"Right, didn't I say this town can be nasty?" Redd chuckles, grabbing the lion tamer's whip and wrapping it around the fennec's wrists, with a loose loop around his neck. "I'd drop the gun, if you care for your partner." The coyote makes a gagging gesture towards Mora, watching her reaction.<br> <br>Razz Pops into the tent and Grins "Oh hey there!" he smiles to the Gator. "See yu're a Bit bloody-How'd that happen?" he asks, smiling as he eyes her. "I see someones got a bit Nasty...Why oh Why would THAt happen?" he asks, chuckling.<br> <br>"We shall see, Fenris!" Edel says, grinning. She is across the room swiftly, sword drawn and tapping on the barrel of the gun. "And for yourself. Unless you think you can reload that gun of yours faster than I can act. Your call there, though I'd think carefully on it."<br> <br>Thelergramor dodges shotgun, makes it look easy by diving off to one side and rolling back to his feet. All four of them. "You need a new boomstick!" He cries at the shotgun wielding gator. Then focuses. Foxuses, even. Proceeds to, as coldfox, try to flashfreeze the gator. Because he can do that... Tries not to get Edel in there too. Would prefer she not be icy.<br> <br>Edel' is answered by the swift raising of the guns barrel, Mora trying to use the steel as a club against the Tanukai even as Edel barely skirts away from the swing. Then Redd has the ringmaster, Reginald squirming in his restraints as he glares Death in the Coyotes way. "Drop Reg and I'll drop the gun, simple as that. And it' be easier getting out of here alive with him unscratched, We ain't the only people here, especially now that there's gunfire."<br> <br>Fenris frowns. It is an alien look on that chubby face. "And I had so much fun up till this point," he says, ignoring the gun and the fighting as if they were nothing more than spilled drinks at the party, "I won a teddy bear, you know!" The tanuki brightens up at that. "Don't see what you thought you would get off us anyway," he says, conversationally as he swings into action, moving with surprising celerity for a creature of his marshmallowy build to slam his prize winning club into the big gator, "Honestly, it is shameful!"<br> <br>"Gun first, then... Or that works too." The coyote snickers as he sees Mora clobbered with the infamous Tanuki Flail. He undoes the loop around Reg's neck, instead binding his ankles together, leaving a section of whip between the ankles and wrists as something of a carrying handle. "Once we're out of your circus, I'll untie him. Not a moment sooner."<br> <br>Razz Blinks and Whistles. "Oh my.. this is ging welll! " the wolf chuckles and Grins-letting teh otehrs handle it for now he is content to watch.<br> <br>Edel ducks under the swinging rifle, shifting her sword into both hands and readying herself before Fenris swings into action. "Ah. Very good," she says, smiling and turning her attention toward Redd and the fennec. "Let's get out of here, then. Hopefully they won't try anything to stop us."<br> <br>Thelergramor glances between the non frozen one, the handbag, and the cage. "...Fenris, think you can drag that cage out of here for me? I kind of want it... Also. Good job." Fox nods, rushes over to the shotgun, and grasps it in his jaws. Peers, heads back towards the exit, readying to leave.<br> <br>Mora is KOed by the wrath of Talakai balls, the Gator hitting the ground hard with a grunt as the shotgun clatters to the ground, picked up before she can do anything. Redd recieves a glare but she doesn't move from her spot, as for Reg. Now that the cord wasn't wrapped around his throat a string of curses are thrown Redd's way, getting louder as he's turned into a handbag by the bastard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As they leave the Main tent there is no movement outside, but the group can feel eyes upon them, many a carnie sticking just out of sight as they quietly wait for the interlopers to leave and make good on their agremment.<br> <br>Fenris seems in much better spirits as he saunters away from the tent. "Thank you!" he calls out amiably, waving in a general way, "The carnival was wonderful right up until the part where you threatened our lives!" He gives Thel a grin. "Sorry," he says, "It is a little too big for me. But I imagine we can find something else around." He starts a little and then turns back to shout, "And thank you for the teddy bear!"<br> <br>As the group passes the entrance to the circus grounds, Redd begins untying the fennec. By the time everyone else has passed the exit, the ringmaster is free, though not without a small pair of breasts having been added by the yote. "Be glad I left your bits alone."<br> <br>Razz Hums "well that went Well.. mostly.." he nods to Redd. "nice work there,, Shoulda made him female." he Grins to Fenris "Great Ball action too! Goo tankui!" he then smiles to thel and Edel. "Woof~" He simples says to thel, adding a wink before noddign at Edel. "You still scare me..heh.." he nods. "Food was nice though, If laced with underlying 'you gonna get done' " <br> <br>Edel slides her sword back into its scabbard as they step outside of the park, sighing. "It was fun while it lasted, yes. I enjoyed the funnel cake. I suppose I should be getting back home now, though. It's getting late," she says, glancing around before settling her eyes on Razz, adjusting her glasses. "And why do I scare you?"<br> <br>Thelergramor nods at Fenris. "Yeah... Thanks anyway." Runs over, marks the cage, then sprints back after the party. Will come back for it at some point. Maybe. Unlikely; Fox will forget about it soon. Maybe. He stops to peer at Razz, nods. "Woof~ right back at you, there." Passes by Edel, stops. "Was nice seeing you again." Turns. "You too Fenris!" Then starts running off towards home.<br> <br>The ringmaster is deposited, curses are once more thrown at the group. "Just you wait! We will be back next year, You aren't going to stop us you ragged bunch of mangey shits!" He snaps, standing up with his ears folded before heading back to the Big top, yelling something about leaving this craptown behind for now.[[Category:RPLogs]] | ||

The wind howls through the trees, the light rain hissing as it fights to exstinquish the torches placed along the path leading the way. Over night a Circus seems to have sprung up in the middle of no where, ramshackle tents fluttering in the wind as music plays. Shadows creep between the tents, people and creatures moving in preperation for the big night of fun and fear.
Fenris trots happily through the streets, his furm, round tummy leading the way. The burly tanuki heard there was some kind of party tonight and he was not about to miss it! His sword and spear bounce lightly behind him and he has swapped out his nirmal t-shirt for a shirt made to look like a jack-o-lantern on his belly in honor of the holiday. Otherwise, he wears nithing but an amiable smile.
Fengl scratches his head, tails waving lazily behind him. He is, for now, wearing his normal clothing, although that would change soon enough. His head pivots around, ears twitching as he listens to the sounds of the carnival.
Ah, Halloween, perhaps the best night of the year for mischief; the title of best day being, of course, held by April Fool's Day. A not-too unfamiliar coyote strides up behind Fenris, prodding the tanuki on the shoulder. "Good to see some familiar faces out here." Redd's dressed almost like he ought to be in the circus himself, looking very much the part of a stage magician.
Razz Pads along and Blinks "So.. all the way out here Eh? Well lets see what halloween Has in store shall we?" the wolf chuckles and walks along grinning. "similar or diffrent to The motel I wonder..." he muses, tail wagging as he walks along.
Jackle Having quietly explored the area, he came in dressed with a pair of casual jeans inplace of his normal attire, being rather skittish despite heading toward the carnival, feeling rather cold despite his fur, his tail constrained by his recentally gained pants. Traveling toward a party from someone he didnt know. Hastily shoving his hands into his pants to hide his overt shaking. Somewhat following along with the group at large.
Dressed up in her typical, traditional black and gold silk robe, Edel wanders along towards the circus, tail flicking behind her. "What an unusual thing this is." She trails off. "Distinctly reminds me of that funhouse I tried to plan a couple of years ago. How very... Suspicious. And not at all sketchy," she murmurs before grinning and adjusting her glasses, approaching the entrance.
The Circus was in motion, people moving to and fro as the party approached. There were games, there was fun, there was food! Attractions of all kinds where scattered around the place, a funhouse here, the hall of mirrors there, games of skill games of chance, so many choices! But that would have to wait as the welcome party approachs, a Gator in a dress eyeing up the group before dropping a soap box at her feet. "Welcome to the Circus of fear, the ring master should be out here shortly to greet you all."
Fenris raises a hand in greeting to Redd and to Edel. "I don't think I've ever been to a circus before!" the tanuki says, "And the nanite built one doesn't count." The big coon dog sniffs wistfully at the air. "All that food smells so good!" he moans, "It's like deep fried happiness!" He looks a little disappointed that he can't start raiding the food stalls yet, but it might be fun to meet the ringmaster.
Fengl waves happily at the group. Then, he claps his hand together as he sees the others in costume. "Ah, this won't do. Not tonight." He twirls around theatrically, his clothes changing, at least to those that can't see through the illusions. His clothes shift and change, turning into a somewhat ill-fitting witches costume. "Ah, that's better."
Razz Pads along And Eyes Fengl, just as his outfit changes. "Hey-Fengl, come to enjoy it too, eh?" He chuckles and Grins before blinking at the gator. "oh.. Oh my. haha." He smiles. "this will be fun been a while since i've had fun and jsut relaxed, what about you?"
Jackle slowly brings his hands out of his pockets, starting to relax with all the people being around him, taking a moment to sniff the air and enjoy the sights. Enjoying a relaxing moment in the Circus of Fear. Clearing his throat to speak-up. "Did the ring master the one that asked us to be here?" directing the question to the Croc in a dress.
"I actually haven't even been to a fair since I was a little kid, much less a circus." Redd nods in agreement with Fenris. "The food does smell good... I bet ya they've got an eating contest somewhere."
"I've been to a few," Edel says, nodding before offering a smile to Fenris. "So you are still alive! I was wondering what ever happened to my Tanuki champion," she says with a little wink. "And hello to you, too!" She says towards the croc, bowing."I do smell some pretty fantastic food, for sure!"
There's a flash of light, a puff of smoke upon the Soap box to reveal the ringmaster! Dressed up in the ring masters outfit tailored for one so small the Fennec straightens his bowtie, hooking his cane in the crook of his elbow as he eyes the group in front of him. "Welcome, to your greatest fears!" He speaks, his voice booming despite his small stature. "Here you will face your greatest fears, and your darkest desires but for now be mary. Partake of the food, enjoy the games for they may be the last bit of fun you will have in ages." His grin is sharp as he looks upon the group, a strange glint finds it way into his gaze before he slips off the soap box and starts walking towards the Center ring, leaving the party to do as they please. The gator giving him an odd look before speaking to the party once more. "We have something set up in the center ring for you all later tonight, but for now have fun."
Fenris smiles and applauds. The smoke thing was a good trick! And it was a good spiel! "I wonder what my greatest fears are?" the tanuki wonders aloud as he wanders toward the source of those heavenly, deep fried smells. "Gee! I hope I have something to trade!"
Fengl shrugs, witches costume moving in a manner that isn't entirely natural. "Oooh, free food. Can't say no to that." He doesn't seem to pay much attention to the show, only sniffing at the air. He shifts from side to side, illuminated tails waving happily as he looks at everyone in turn.
"He's adorable." Redd snickers quietly, commenting on the miniature ringmaster. He reaches for the ringmaster's ears but stops himself short. "No, best not get thrown out of the circus before I eat, maybe after." He mumbles to himself quietly, as if arguing over the best course of action.
Razz Nods "Sounds.. Fun! And food! better be good! Like that small cafe up in teh east forest..Damn that place is nice." he grins before looking to Fengl. "Heeyyyo-You thhhere or has the Idea of nice food captured you too?" he asks, grinning.
Jackle quickly brings up a hand to cover his mouth to stiffle a giggle, before clearing his throat speaking toward the gator "So, what sort of attractions are set up for us if you dont mind me asking?"
Edel folds her hands in front of her, tail curling around her feet as she listens to the fennec make the opening. As soon as the group is given the go-ahead, though, she's off! Seeking snacks and generally just enjoying the atmosphere. She'll enjoy it extra more if she can find some funnel cake...
Thelergramor has been quietly slinking about at the back of the grou, all ColdFox and such, listening to the ringmaster and his smoke. The Fox sits there, quietly watching, sniffing as he tends to do, glancing about at the fun to be had... He speaks up, smirking. "I know what mine are, Fenris." Finally making some noise, then follows after the tanuki towards food.
The Gator speaks up as she points towards some of the games. "We have carnival games, can always see if your aim is true and pop some balloons, or hit the pin over there in the games of skill. Always test your strength, or if you're hungry." She comments, turning her gaze over to the food venders. "We have a lot of things to snack on."
Speaking of food, Fenris is greated by a large Lion beast waving him over. "Good evening my good man! I take it your looking for something sweet to eat this night hmm?" He asks, his voice matching his outfit, rather loud and easily to notice, a big grin plastered on his muzzle as he leans against his counter. There were funnel cakes galore, sitting all in a row on a the counter of another stall that remained silent, lights on but no one there at the moment as the wind blew the scent towards the Tanukai.
Fenris approaches his new best friend with a grin. "I hope you take freecred, pal!" he says, "And that you have a lot of whatever that heavenly smell is, cause I'm starving!" The tanuki starts to pick and choose all sorts of carnival food, shoveling goodies into his mouth and his bag. For later, of course. That test of strength thing looks kind of fun too. . .
Fengl rubs his belly, walking back and forth as he struggles to decide. "Aaa, too many options. That has to be one of my weaknesses." He looks around, at everyone in turn. "Where're you going? I'll just tag along."
The coyote watches as people begin to scatter. Much like the nekomata, he was struck with indecision. "What to do first, what to do first..."
Razz Grins "Hrrm. halls of Mirrors!" the Wolf Grins and Heads along and into it, tail wagging. "Lets see what you got-maybe after this they have a Scare house!" he chuckles. "oohhhh this'll be fun!"
Jackle nods slightly, "Thanks, oh and before I forget to ask, what is your name? It's rather rude of me not to ask afterall, and it looks like everyone else is already scattering."
"I want that," Edel says simply, pointing towards the funnel cake on display at the counter. "A big plate of that, and that'll be all for now! It's been sooo very long since I've had funnel cake, you know," she explains, leaning forward and flashing the lion beast a smile.
Thelergramor remains near Fenris, peering up at the loudly dressed and voiced vendor. His tail curls about him as he sits, sniffing at the air. "...So, uh, food. How much?"
There is no answer as to how much it costs, the sweet are slid towards all three of them without another word as that smile remains plastered on his muzzle. There's a wink from the Lion before he speaks again. "Haven't had someone this hungry for sweets in a long long time, enjoy yourselfs."
Razz is stopped as they move towards the hall of Mirrors by a wiry black panther, only for a moment as a single rule is given to them. "Please keep your voice down in the hall of mirrors, no yelling." Before his way is no longer bared.
As Jackle asks the Gators name he's greeted with a smile, showing just a little to much fang. "Why my name is Mora, please have fun at our Circus, I need to help the ring master with his set up." And with that she's gone, heading back to the big top, her thick tail swaying behind her with enough force to knock down a chair as she passes by.
Fenris munches happily on funnel cakes and fried sweetbread and all sorts of other goodies, waving his thanks to the very generous vendor. "Should I try to win a prize?" he asks between mouthfuls, "I'm pretty strong!" The hefty tanuki flexes a burly arm and steps up to the strength contest.
Fengl wanders after Razz, lit tails waving behind him. He takes long strides, nearly bouncing as he tries to catch up. "Hmm? Why would we shout in a house of mirrors? Mind if I tag along?" He grins, shifting his weight side to side as if he was walking, even if he's standing still.
Redd moves towards towards the shooting gallery booth, watching the others as he looks around for the proprietor. "I suppose I'll give this a shot, heh. When I was young, my folks never let me play any of the games at the county fair or the like."
Razz Grins "heh, sure Fine by me" he smiles to teh ca before nodding to the panther. "wouldnt plan on shouting but Got it!" The wolf Grins and Chuckles. "hehe Fun fun fun!" he says tail wagging.
Jackle trys for a moment to not stare visibly after mora, admiring her tail strength expecially, before shaking himself a bit and starting to head toward the strength attraction, idly moving his hands back into his pockets.
Edel takes her food with a bow of her head, slinking off to watch the others play their games while she enjoys her treat. She wouldn't be participating in any until her funnel cake was gone, but that didn't mean she couldn't watch and plan for what she -would- play.
Thelergramor now has food! Winfox. He leaps up to grab it, dragging it back down in his muzzle and chewing contently. All... Dough and powder. Happyfox sits and gnaws on it, trying not to drop it on the ground. He shifty eyes around, eyeing those around him Foxily. Then drops his food, saying: "Heh, go ahead Fenris. Could be fun to watch." then notices he dropped his cake. Grumbles and snatches it back up; Fox don't mind, resumes eating.
The Hall of mirros is deathly quiet, the slience disturbed by Razz and Fengl's entrance. Dust is kicked up in their wake, what little light illuminating the room casting sinister shadows upon the warped, antique looking mirrors lining the walls before them.
The shooting gallery is indeed there, a Corgi wearing a vest and jeans manning it as he leans across the counter, that professional bored look of a games worker plastered across his muzzle before Redd appears. "Ahhh, looking to try your hand at a few rounds? See if you can't hit the birdie eh?" He asks, that grin turning sharp.
A single torch lights up the Strength testing machine, the Hammer in the hands of a Bear leaning against it in wait, giving Fenris a wink as if to get him to come over.
Fenris grins at the bear's wink and meanders over, sucking sugar from his fingers. "I'll give it a whirl!" the tanuki says, once more flexing and stretching a burly arm before taking up the large hammer, "Let me at it!"
Fengl sneezes at the dust, waving his hands in an effort to dissipate it. "Doesn't look very popular does it..." He shrugs, before following after Razz. "Why'd you pick the hall of mirrors anyways?"
The coyote picks up a rifle from those arrayed infront of him, breaking the action open to peer down the barrel before setting it down and picking up a different one. "Hrm. These have seen better days, methinks. How many shots do I get and how much. Also curious if you've sighted these in." He holds it steady, checking the sight picture against the view down the barrel. "I think I'll try this one."
Razz shrugs "why not? Always wanted to go in one, never had the chance, simple as." he Grins. "Hehe-that reflection" he says grinning. "so-what you want to do?" he asks, Grinng as he eyesthe reflections.
Jackle moves over to the the Strength machine, giving it a once over before looking over at the bear, and by extension, Fenris, idly moving to take the hammer and giving his own attempt at using the hammer.
Edel nibbles down her funnel cake in short order, making her way up to the strength testing game. "I'll give it a go, too!" says the short woman with a grin. She slots the empty plate into the rubbish before patting her fingers off and flexing and waiting behind Jackle for her own try.
Thelergramor watches the tanuki swing the hammer, then swallows the rest of his food and licks powder from his muzzle. Has no hands right now... "I'd try next, but... Swinging a hammer with my muzzle would be difficult. Funny, but difficult." Foxnods, smirks at the thought... Then watches Edel wander over. "Heh. I may shift, just to give it a try..."
Each time the Hammer is swung, each time the weight goes up but none can reach the bell. "Nice try you lot." Came the words of encouragment from the Bear, trying to hide a grin behind his hand as he just chuckles. "If you want you can give it one more try I guess." He teases, his face growing serious once more as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"...Eh? Cleaned? I just run the booth, I don't clean or mess with any of it." a bag is placed in front of Redd, containing twenty bbs for the gun. "Hit at least ten of the birdies and you get a prize."
The reflections are distorted, some look fun wide and chubby or short and funny while others look just weird, skinny, distorted. But one mirror, one mirror out of the bunch is strange, there is nothing. No reflection, not even a hint of Razz's form as he passes by it.
Fenris frowns at the hammer in his hand, then adjust his shirt over his fat belly. "Yeah," he says, "I'll give it one more shot!" The tanuki takes a couple of steps back, make a little jumping start, the leaps into the air, executing a perfect front flip, his signature tanuki endownments suddenly swelling to the size of boulders and slamming onto the strike pad with the full force of Fenris's weight and momentum! Not, perhaps in the spirit of the game, but certainly a very tanuki approach.
Fengl shrugs as a reply to Razz's question. "Oh, I just stuck along mainly. No point being alone at a carnival. Hmm, these aren't very fancy are they?" He doesn't pay much attention to the mirrors, only the one without a reflection seems to catch his attention. He sniffs at it, before pointing it out. "Well, something interesting at least."
Redd nods, "I'll take that as a no, they probably haven't been sighted in for these." He shrugs, almost casually, before loading the first bullet into the gun and firing. Making note of where it lands, he reloads and aims again, this time with an offset. He continues this pattern, trying to get each bullet into a different target.
"Suppose still nice to have you wi-" he trails off and eyes the mirror. "now that IS interesting" he asks, poing it. "Hrrm What's up with you then?" he asks, eyeing it Carefully a small grin growing on his muzzle. "also find the most curious things in the strangest places."
Jackle slowly begins to take the hammer, rubbing his hands together, before pulling the hammer back and slamming it back down, turning around seemlessly from the strength tester. Managng a shrug as he looks at the bear "Hey, could you come prove that this is possible to people who dont have huge balls?"
Edel shakes her head, tail curling around her paws again. "That's alright! I've got no desire to try again! This has never been my strong point," she says with a soft chuckle before moving off towards the target range, instead! "This isn't my strong point, either, but... Maybe I'll have better luck here!"
Thelergramor watches Fenris front flip, chuckles softly. Eyes the bell, though, assuming it's rigged... Ponders... "...No, grenade wouldn't work... Nope." Fox continues to wonder on the validity of this... Terrible plan. Decides against it. "...No, not doing that." Idly scratches at his ear, then walks over to Jackle and sniffs at a bit. Has not met this one...
The Weight sails into the air, hitting the bell with a DIG! A hollow one at that as the bell continues to quiver, the weight now stuck in it as the bear just stares. "....Never seen that before, guess you win...So, here's a prize." With a grumble a teady bear is handed off to Fenris for his efforts, the brown little fuzzy thing staring at the Tanuki with black glass eyes.
It took a bit, but Redd finally hit the mark! But, there is no ding, the target doesn't fall back. Instead, it's the sound of the BB hitting flesh, crimson blossoming from the impact as the target starts to shudder and twitch against the rope keeping it in place. Seems the birdie's weren't just a nice little nickname for the targets. "Good job, you got one! Pesky little bastards." Exclaimed the Corgi, thumbing his fist against the counter in congradulations, his smile losing warmth as it grows sharp. "Now, how about we get a few more for a prize hmmm? Maybe you'll even get a pie at the end of it."
The mirror in the Hall was strange yes, there was no reflection of the two, no reflection of anyone as both Fengl and Razz stare at it, but that doesn't stop the boards behind them from creaking under the weight of something just behind Razz, heavy breathing just out of reach of the Wolf's ear.
Fenris grins and takes the teddy bear! "Thanks!" he says happily, "Never won a carnival game before! You know that some people claim that they are actually rigged? Glad to see that they were wrong! Pleasure to meet an honest bear!" The tanuki produces another deep fried treat from his bag and meanders back toward the food stall. "I think I'll go stock up on treats and head for the big top," he informa anyone who might be interested, "After all that exercise, I am starving!"
Jackle pot
Fengl's ears twitch as the floorboards creak. Then, with a flash he turns around, concealed blade in hand. The blade seems to move as if it had a life of its own, twirling, its surface shimmering like oil on water. His entire demeanor seems to change, lighthearted cheerfullness gone in an instant.
His costume seems to flicker out of excistence, replaced by his plain gray shirt and shorts.
"I'll pass on a second round at the birds. If I can't be certain what exactly I'm shooting, I'm not continuing." Redd turns towards the corgi, eyes narrowed. "Though, I am tempted to put a certain sick dog down. But I'll be civil." He drops something into the breach of the rifle, the material solidifying quickly in the barrel. "Perhaps you should learn to at least clean the guns, once in a while."
Razz tilts his head "huh How...Curious.." he sats, teh tentacles on his Back Sliding out as his ears twitches. "Cant say I've seen a mirror do that Before. "his Right hand pulls the Scian Free On his waist, the daggers Glinting slightly as he Taps it on the mirror. "wonders how they do that?" he asks, not Reacting at all to Fengl's 'outburst'
Jackle turns his head to Telergramor, sniffing him in turn, deciding that he was probably a fox snififng at a wolf before starting to move around the circus, trying to find somethng to do, mostly looking into the more minor tents.
Edel tilts her head, watching Redd quietly for a few moments before humming. "This is an interesting variation of the game. Live targets? Can't say I've seen that before," she comments, before grinning. "Shame I can't use a bow!"
Thelergramor smiles up at Jackle before he heads off, then, being Thel... Sort of just follows after him. Quietly. Or, not quietly. "So... Yeah. You, I don't know. How's it going?" Fox walks along, paws making little noise as they fall, still licking powder from his face. Finally gets all of it. Clean fox!
Redd is greated with that smile once more, the Corgi leaning forward on his left Elbow, his right hand sliding under the counter. "My my, someone has a bit of a temper. We did warn you this was the Circus of fear no?" He asks, his ears flicking just a bit.
Fengl turns, the blade singing through the air as it sinks into. Nothing. There was nothing there, not right in front of them, but Razz can feel it as something wraps around his ankle, digging tight into the flesh before yanking the poor wolf off balance, tugging hard against his strength before two more tendrils lash out from the darkness behind the pair in a futile effort to drag Razz away, slowly pulling him towards a darkened corridor.
Fenris gets nothing but a smile from the bear as he leaves, a wave from a few people that he walks by on his way to the Big top. As he gets closer he can hear something, faint at first but it starts to slowly grow as he moves closer to the big top. Fabric popping, rapidly from the sound of it.
Fenris holds his new teddy bear under his arm and frowns a little at the strange sound. "Didn't think it was so windy," he says to no one, "I hope everything is alright, I like this carnival!"
Fengl blinks in surprise as his blade wiffs. He turns to look at Razz being dragged away. He rushes, trying to hack at the tendrils, frowing intently. His ears twitch as he listens for any other movement.
Razz Blinks as he GEts Tugged, not that he moves very Far. "Well that's Not nice.." the Wolf GRowls before barking as three rahter large ice shards appear and try to stab into teh Tendrils. "how about you FUCK OFF?" he Roars, his own tentacles also lashing out at the tendrils as he snarls loudly,sorta hopingthat the others heard or could hear him, he did NOT wnat to see what they were for....or from..
Jackle manages a shrug while peeking into tents "I'm Jackle, Jack for short. Its going well, but somethings nagging at me...Probably just the smell of pasteries. Kinda bored to be honest."
"Don't think for a second I didn't hear that." Redd's hand catches the corgi's right elbow. "And based on how you maintain these rifles, I'd say you ain't have a snowballs chance in hell to hit me somewhere it actually hurts." He holds the corgi's arm there, keeping it underneath the table. "Let that hammer down softly, and I'll let go. Otherwise, you'll probably be needing a glass eye, and some time in a full body cast.
Edel tilts her head, watching the scene between Redd and the Corgi with an ever-present smile. It's a slight one, though. "Now, now. Let's relax, hm? This is a night for trying to have -fun-. Not for bloodying hands," she says sternly, fixing both of them with a disappointed mother gaze.
Thelergramor sniffs at the air, then. "That might just be me, now. Since I'm following you around, Jack. And, call me Thel. Nice meeting you. Also, did you see that gator back there? Woof~ right? Or was that just me? Probably just me." The fox nods, shrugs a bit. Sniffs more, though, ear flicking back towards the others...
There is a Snarl as the tentacles are Attacked, blood splattering across the wall and on Razz before they yank themselves free. "Son of a Corgi bastard!" Came a femine shout from down the hall before the owner of the voice flees, their footsteps easily heard as they make a break for it after the onslaught.
Redd gets a glare, the smile gone, but the Corgi lets up on the guns hammer, flicking the safety on with a click. "Let me go, and leave this booth. Unless you think you can take on all of us. Besides, ain't the Ringmaster got something in store for ya?" The corgi states, as more then one set of eyes trains on Redd for his actions, bored game workers finally seeming to come to life at the commotion.
The tearing sound stops for a moment as Fenris reaches the big top, light spilling out of the tents entrance as he can hear cursing, the Ringmasters voice ringing out. "Mora! Mora, where are you you deaf bitch!"
Fenris does not much like the sound of that. "That is no way for a civilized person to act!" he says, then hesitates. In a crazy world like this one, that ringmaster might be talking about a literal deaf bitch. But the angry tone suggested otherwise. "Maybe he'll be nicer if there are customers around," he says, hugging his teddy to his chest and shouldering his way through the tent flap. "Hello?" he calls, "Is it time for the show yet?"
Fengl blinks in surprise at the very ordinary yelloing as someone flees. He scratches his head, blade disappearing back into its sheath. "Well, that was interesting to say the least. Don't know what I was expecting from the carnival of terror." He holds out a hand to Razz in an effort to help him up.
"Fair enough, but if I hear that hammer being cocked... I'm not giving a warning before breaking your arm next time." Redd lets go of the dog's arm, appearing to simply vanish before the coyote passes the next stall. A few moments later, he shows up again near the Tanuki. "If there were a place that exemplified bad vibes, this hellhole is it." He mumbles under his breath.
Razz Sighs and Frowns."so.. was that theIdea of a trick then?" he muses chuckling slightly. "oh well, his sheathes the Scian and stretches slightly as his tentacles withdraw "lets go and try to find the otehrs, shall we? i've grown....Bored of this hall" he smiles to teh cat before looking at where teh tendrils came from, muttering something under his breath as he does so.
Jackle turns back to Thel "No I get you. Woof...~! I wonder if she'd mind getting her tail held, or-" stops mid-lusty talking, clearing his throat as he looks at Thel's ears. Sniffing the air in turn. "Whatcha hearing?"
"Yes, the gator certainly was something," Edel agrees, stretching her arms out and folding them behind her head as she passes Thel and Jackle. When she got there from the shooting tent is anyone's guess, but she's already on the move again, off towards the big tent. "I might be feeling inspired to be a gator for a while," she comments idly to herself.
Thelergramor scratches at his ear again. "Eh, nothing. Bits of... words. Nothing worth mentioning. We, or you, or just me, should get her info later though... Because, yeah, woof~" Fox snickers as Edel passes. "Still got nothing on you, Edel." Yips approvingly "Right... I'mma head back to the big tent, Fenris said he was going there and they might have something for us. Rest might be too.." He then Foxes back on to the tent, stopping only for a moment to sniff the ground. Squints, has urge to find a good spot to mark here... Suppresses it for tent though!
As Fenris and co enter the Big top the scene is revealed, the preperations had been underway. The Cage in the center had been set up, chairs, stool and other assortment of items set within perfect for a lion tamer to show off their act. And as soon as people Enter the Ringmaster freezes in his work, a sheet half way torn clutched in his hands as his eyes widen, a deer in the headlights before he regains his composure. "Eh, uh. I thought I said to go have fun with the games until the main attraction was prepared did I not?" He asks, his ears up right as he clasps his right hand behind his back.
Fenris is embarrassed for the poor fennec. "Oh!" he cries, "I am so sorry! I thought it might be ready and I wanted to get a good seat!" The burly tanuki continues to munch on his treats while clutching his bear under a free arm, "Should we come back? Super sorry! Really! We'll just come back." He stops, mid-turn and looks back. "Unless you need some help?" he offers, ever helpful.
Fengl follows by Razz's side, twirling with much less enthusiasm as his costume reappears. He seems much more alerts, ears twitching, eyes darting around. His posture is also noticeable different, almost crouched he looks like he's ready to spring at a moments notice.
"I'll pass on more games, besides, I'd much rather be doing something." Redd shrugs, his eyes watching the fennec's expression closely. "Not sure they'll let me back onto the midway in any case."
Razz Sighs and Hums as he walks before turning and headding for a food stand. "Hrrm what we got?" he asks,looking it over "hrrm i'll have some of that.. and that... and Mrrrm." he nods, taill wagging behind him, the wolf seemingly not caring about waht happened in teh hall of mirrors.
Jackle manages a shrug and begins to head after Thel, placing his hands on the back of his head and scartching himself, focusing mainly behind his own ears as he follows along. "I would be up for a 'we'. But. I have gotta be honest, are you getting a bad vibe too? It just seems like there isnt that many people around...Oh right, fear place. Huh." As soon as the ring master says he wasnt ready he immediately heads off to find a booth. Maybe a kissing booth or a meat food booth.
Edel frowns a little at the lack of readiness within the tent! And so she turns and resumes on her way, tapping her chin. "Where to, where to," she says before eyeing the funhouse. "Hmm... Why not!" She says, shrugging caution to the wind and wandering off in that direction.
Thelergramor shrugs and answers Jackle. "Only a little, but I thought that was the point. I'm not concerned." Then just eyes the surprised Ringmaster for a few moments, letting the others do the talking while Fox starts trying to remember why he showed up unarmed on Halloween... Forgets, looks over the room, then stares at that cage. The cage: He wants it. A small rumblinb sound leaves the Fox, starts eyeing the room conspiratorially... Searches for something to hide behind. Small as he is, could possibly sneak in there.
Those big ears flick, eyes dart a bit. "No no, I've got this handled if you can't go to the midway you can always check out the food stalls." He speaks rapidly, his left hand tightening on his cane. "Either way shoo, Shooo so I can fi-" That's when Mora bursts in through the other side, covered in blood and cursing as she drags along her damaged Tentacles. "Bad news Reg, they aren't gonna be easy pickings like last timmmmmmmm, sonofabitchinhell." She stops short as she notices the party, and the Fennecs ears droop rather quickly as he realizes the curtain has fallen.
Fenris frowns. "Easy pickings?" he asks, his usually sunny face darkening, "That does not sound like the kind of lighthearted scares I was hoping for." The tanuki stuffs the last of his treat in his mouth and his teddy bear into his pack. (It is bigger on the inside.) "Something you feel like saying?" he asks.
Fengl stands on his toes, easing up slightly as they leave the hall. He doesn't touch the food, still not ready to trust the carnival, but at least he's calm enough to not jump at any and all sudden noises.
"Suppose you ought to start packing early, then." Redd comments, walking up to the fennec. "I'd say ya'lls best bet would be to skip town. And fast. After all, looks like your gator friend got off lightly." He grins, scooping the fennec up into his arms. "I feel like I'm obligated to show you what can happen to people who don't play nice out here."
Razz hums and noms some foods before Padding with the otehrs over to the tent "sooo what's up?" he asks Idly. "oh and for the reccord I was attacked in teh house of mirrors." he nods. "grinning. "just saying."
Edel pauses midstep and backtracks her way into the tent, ears flicking at the words she caught. "Is there to be a brawl? If there is, I want in on it! If not, we should probably scoot. I'm starting to get the feeling we aren't welcome!"
Thelergramor just eyes the surprised Ringmaster for a few moments, letting the others do the talking while Fox starts trying to remember why he showed up unarmed on Halloween... Forgets, looks over the room, then stares at that cage. The cage: He wants it. A small rumbling sound leaves the Fox, starts eyeing the room conspiratorially... Seeing as how, there's shit going down... "If there's a brawl, Edel, I'm keeping the cage. I... don't know why." Starts stalking towards it, foxily...
IF the poor Fennecs ears could droop anymore they would as Redd steps up, eyes darting back and forth for a moment as he sucks in a breath. "Guess the jig is up, might as well finish this eh?" He comments, his right hand coming up towards Redd with sparks of electricity falling off it, that's until it comes into contact with Redd, the current shorting out instantly leaving the little Fennec blinking in shock. ".....I hate you people."
Mora springs into action as well, but instead of just rushing into the attack she reaches into a crate nearby, pulling out a double barreled shotgun and letting loose with both barrels pointed at Thele
Fenris nods matter-of-factly to Edel. "Could be a brawl, yes," he says, "Could be that. Or," he says with a but of emphasis, "This could be an opportunity for learning." The big tanuki rolls up the sleeves on his jack-o-lantern t-shirt and gives the big croc a meaningful look as he does so. "What do you think it is, Miss?" he asks, frowning, seeing that the fennec has his hands full.
"Right, didn't I say this town can be nasty?" Redd chuckles, grabbing the lion tamer's whip and wrapping it around the fennec's wrists, with a loose loop around his neck. "I'd drop the gun, if you care for your partner." The coyote makes a gagging gesture towards Mora, watching her reaction.
Razz Pops into the tent and Grins "Oh hey there!" he smiles to the Gator. "See yu're a Bit bloody-How'd that happen?" he asks, smiling as he eyes her. "I see someones got a bit Nasty...Why oh Why would THAt happen?" he asks, chuckling.
"We shall see, Fenris!" Edel says, grinning. She is across the room swiftly, sword drawn and tapping on the barrel of the gun. "And for yourself. Unless you think you can reload that gun of yours faster than I can act. Your call there, though I'd think carefully on it."
Thelergramor dodges shotgun, makes it look easy by diving off to one side and rolling back to his feet. All four of them. "You need a new boomstick!" He cries at the shotgun wielding gator. Then focuses. Foxuses, even. Proceeds to, as coldfox, try to flashfreeze the gator. Because he can do that... Tries not to get Edel in there too. Would prefer she not be icy.
Edel' is answered by the swift raising of the guns barrel, Mora trying to use the steel as a club against the Tanukai even as Edel barely skirts away from the swing. Then Redd has the ringmaster, Reginald squirming in his restraints as he glares Death in the Coyotes way. "Drop Reg and I'll drop the gun, simple as that. And it' be easier getting out of here alive with him unscratched, We ain't the only people here, especially now that there's gunfire."
Fenris frowns. It is an alien look on that chubby face. "And I had so much fun up till this point," he says, ignoring the gun and the fighting as if they were nothing more than spilled drinks at the party, "I won a teddy bear, you know!" The tanuki brightens up at that. "Don't see what you thought you would get off us anyway," he says, conversationally as he swings into action, moving with surprising celerity for a creature of his marshmallowy build to slam his prize winning club into the big gator, "Honestly, it is shameful!"
"Gun first, then... Or that works too." The coyote snickers as he sees Mora clobbered with the infamous Tanuki Flail. He undoes the loop around Reg's neck, instead binding his ankles together, leaving a section of whip between the ankles and wrists as something of a carrying handle. "Once we're out of your circus, I'll untie him. Not a moment sooner."
Razz Blinks and Whistles. "Oh my.. this is ging welll! " the wolf chuckles and Grins-letting teh otehrs handle it for now he is content to watch.
Edel ducks under the swinging rifle, shifting her sword into both hands and readying herself before Fenris swings into action. "Ah. Very good," she says, smiling and turning her attention toward Redd and the fennec. "Let's get out of here, then. Hopefully they won't try anything to stop us."
Thelergramor glances between the non frozen one, the handbag, and the cage. "...Fenris, think you can drag that cage out of here for me? I kind of want it... Also. Good job." Fox nods, rushes over to the shotgun, and grasps it in his jaws. Peers, heads back towards the exit, readying to leave.
Mora is KOed by the wrath of Talakai balls, the Gator hitting the ground hard with a grunt as the shotgun clatters to the ground, picked up before she can do anything. Redd recieves a glare but she doesn't move from her spot, as for Reg. Now that the cord wasn't wrapped around his throat a string of curses are thrown Redd's way, getting louder as he's turned into a handbag by the bastard.
As they leave the Main tent there is no movement outside, but the group can feel eyes upon them, many a carnie sticking just out of sight as they quietly wait for the interlopers to leave and make good on their agremment.
Fenris seems in much better spirits as he saunters away from the tent. "Thank you!" he calls out amiably, waving in a general way, "The carnival was wonderful right up until the part where you threatened our lives!" He gives Thel a grin. "Sorry," he says, "It is a little too big for me. But I imagine we can find something else around." He starts a little and then turns back to shout, "And thank you for the teddy bear!"
As the group passes the entrance to the circus grounds, Redd begins untying the fennec. By the time everyone else has passed the exit, the ringmaster is free, though not without a small pair of breasts having been added by the yote. "Be glad I left your bits alone."
Razz Hums "well that went Well.. mostly.." he nods to Redd. "nice work there,, Shoulda made him female." he Grins to Fenris "Great Ball action too! Goo tankui!" he then smiles to thel and Edel. "Woof~" He simples says to thel, adding a wink before noddign at Edel. "You still scare me..heh.." he nods. "Food was nice though, If laced with underlying 'you gonna get done' "
Edel slides her sword back into its scabbard as they step outside of the park, sighing. "It was fun while it lasted, yes. I enjoyed the funnel cake. I suppose I should be getting back home now, though. It's getting late," she says, glancing around before settling her eyes on Razz, adjusting her glasses. "And why do I scare you?"
Thelergramor nods at Fenris. "Yeah... Thanks anyway." Runs over, marks the cage, then sprints back after the party. Will come back for it at some point. Maybe. Unlikely; Fox will forget about it soon. Maybe. He stops to peer at Razz, nods. "Woof~ right back at you, there." Passes by Edel, stops. "Was nice seeing you again." Turns. "You too Fenris!" Then starts running off towards home.
The ringmaster is deposited, curses are once more thrown at the group. "Just you wait! We will be back next year, You aren't going to stop us you ragged bunch of mangey shits!" He snaps, standing up with his ears folded before heading back to the Big top, yelling something about leaving this craptown behind for now.
