power.

We'd better hurry with the show, before Alex's father gets angry.
Make sure you look your best; we need to draw a crowd afterwards...
JopDance : jm: ::laughs:: I think I've heard
you say that before.
Alexlndigo :

Alexlndigo :
AX: ::looks down::

Dot Wrnr :
LB: ::shrugs:: Good

Alexlndigo :
AX:::looks scared::

Dot Wrnr :

and she knows it's a long shot, but takes Jasmine aside as she

to do whatever she's decided his act will be this week::
Quantum Catz : BM: Why can't you just let the

Dot Wrnr :
DN: ::manages to perform
his show all right, despite the cries coming from the closet::
Alexlndigo :
FO: Maeve, sweetie,

MaeveOwens : MV: :::smiles evily::: Promise?
Alexlndigo :
FO: Oh yes ::saying

Alexlndigo :
FO: Maeve hwat have
I ever done to you?
Dot Wrnr :
DN: ::gives up trying
to compete with the show taking place by the closet; mrrs sadly::
JopDance : jm: ::listens to Mr. Indigo and
wonders what is going on::
Dot Wrnr :

Quantum Catz : BM: ::flickering; sighs:: Back

Alexlndigo :
FO: Oh, your teleported

Dot Wrnr :
LB: ::eyes widen; rushes
backstage, and grabs Mr. Indigo's arm and yanks him onstage::
Here he is, straight from the broom closet! Let's hear it for
Maeve and...er...this nice gentleman!
Dot Wrnr :

JopDance : jm: ::hurries backstage to see
what's going on; goes pale under her tan when she sees Becky::
Again?
Dot Wrnr :
LB: ::quickly:: After
the show you're more than welcome to examine the closet. I promise,
there's no trickery involved. Speaking of which, after the show,
another thin dime will grant you an audience with the act of your
choice!
MaeveOwens : MV: ::wonders backstage:::
Alexlndigo :
AX: ::almost laughs
as he sees his father on stage::
Quantum Catz : BM: I'll be fine. I'm basically
solid right now...I just don't look it
Dot Wrnr :
LB: I know you've always
wanted to meet a special someone here. Now's your chance! ::nods
to Fox:: Thank you, sir. Now, for our next acts, let me bring
out Maeve and Alex!
Alexlndigo :
FO: ::glares at Libby,
but hopes off the stage to find a seat::
JopDance : jm: ::sits down:: I don't think
I'll *ever* get used to all of you.
Dot Wrnr :

and waits for Maeve and Alex to come on stage::
Alexlndigo :

at the girl:: And today we have somthing new up, well my sleeves...
Dot Wrnr :
LB: ::sighs:: I'm so
sorry...I couldn't think of any other way to get him out and make
it remotely look like a show...it'd've been better if you'd teleported
him onto the stage, but I know how you'd hate that...
Dot Wrnr :
DN: ::nuzzles Becky::
Alexlndigo :
AX: ::grabs Maeve and
pulls her toward him, taking his wings and starts to hover::
Quantum Catz : BM: I think i'm getting used to
this flickering thing...it's not as scary as before...

JopDance: : ::laughs and roars with him::
YarnKittymon: DN: Awww, you roar better'n me...
JopDance: : ::grins proudly:: You could be as good as me
if you practiced.

YarnKittymon: GC: Um, something like that. ::laughs
a little, then looks behind him:: There seem to be a couple young
men here to see you, too shy to push a midget aside, so perhaps
I'd best pull back...
JopDance: jm: ::looks at the line behind him a little nervously::
If you want to.
YarnKittymon: GC: I thought every girl wanted
a beau, and you've got three right there! None as good-looking
as me, of course, but surely one of 'em will do.
JopDance: jm: ::laughs:: All right, I *should* meet them
since they paid and everything
YarnKittymon: GC: ::steps aside::
Quantum Catz: : ::steps towards Jasmine:: You were pretty amazing
on stage, miss
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: Thank you.
Quantum Catz: : ::smiles at Jasmine and holds out his hand::
My name's Richard
JopDance: jm: ::shakes it:: Jasmine
Quantum Catz: RD: So tell me, how on earth did you pull off
that trick on stage?
JopDance: jm: ::grins:: Easy! ::quickly changes to her poofy-haired
violet-eyed self::
Quantum Catz: RD: ::looks amazed:: It's hard to believe you
can really do that
JopDance: jm: ::beams:: Oh, it's easy as wiggling your nose.
In fact, it's so easy, I bet you could do it if you tried.
Quantum Catz: RD: ::laughs:: I doubt it somehow
JopDance: jm: ::eyes twinkle:: But you've never tried.
Quantum Catz: RD: I must admit i haven't ::chuckles::
JopDance: jm: ::grins:: Anything you want to see me do?
Quantum Catz: RD: Actually no, i just wanted to have the pleasure
of meeting such an amazing woman as you
JopDance: jm: ::blushes slightly:: Oh, thank you! But I
don't thiink there's anything else interesting about me besides
this.
Quantum Catz: RD: ::grins:: And you're modest too
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: Not usually.
Quantum Catz: RD: Perhaps we could meet again sometime...outside
the show?
JopDance: jm: ::looks surprised:: Me? Well, I, uh...
Quantum Catz: RD: If you don't feel comfortable with that...i
understand
JopDance: jm: I think that would be better because, well
::whipsers conspiratorially in his ear:: I've never been on a
date before.
Quantum Catz: RD: ::looks surprised:: *Never*?
JopDance: jm: ::face goes red:: Never
Quantum Catz: RD: You could always try going out with me...i
promise i'm a perfect gentleman
JopDance: jm: Oh, well...all right. ::smiles::
Quantum Catz: RD: ::grins:: Would you like to give me your number
then, and i'll call you, rather than taking up your time here?
JopDance: jm: Oh, sure! ::pulls a scrap of paper from her
pocket.:: Do you have a pen?
Quantum Catz: RD: ::pulls a pen from his pocket and smiles,
handing it to Jasmine:: Here you go
JopDance: jm: ::scribbles down her number and hands it to
him:: There you go.
Quantum Catz: RD: ::grins:: Thankyou. I promise, you'll here
from me soon
JopDance: jm: ::waves at Richard as he leaves and then goes
to the back with the rest of the cast::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::gets bored so she goes off in search of
some excitement:::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::moves towards the back and away from the
noisy crowd, no one is going to miss her anyway:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::is sitting backstage, looking at her hand,
she's hardly flickering at all now::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::comes across a rope, wondering what it
does she gives it a pull::: Uh oh :::a curtain falls down::: oops
YarnKittymon: ((just a doorway curtain, most
likely; there's no curtain for the stage proper))
MaeveOwens: MV: :::hits her in the face and she struggles
to get untangled:::
Alexlndigo: AX: Notice the curtain:: oh no!
Maeve what have you done now!
MaeveOwens: MV: :::finally freeing herself, she stumbles into
the backstage and sees becky:: Oh hi, i was just...ummm...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs:: Causing trouble, no doubt
MaeveOwens: MV: ::looks indignant::: Me? Cause trouble? Never!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::laughs:: Yeah right
YarnKittymon: LB: ::watches them all for a moment
more, then heads backstage; she's pretty sure she can break a
five now::
MaeveOwens: MV: ::shrugs and sits down on a chair:::
MaeveOwens: MV: :::gets resless and stands up from the chair
and wanders back out into the crowd:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::ties the curtain back to
where it was before Maeve mussed it::
MaeveOwens: MV: ::spots Alex and walks over to him::: Alex,
I think I am heading home. Too many people around.
MaeveOwens: MV: I will see you later.
YarnKittymon: : ::Erin suddenly reappears, in
the midst of just about everyone talking with various and sundry
audience members::
YarnKittymon: : ::one of the people waiting
for Jasmine sees Erin and blushes a bit. She approaches Erin,
holding out her hand:: Good day...
Griffchook: ER: ::looks around, sighs resignedly.
Shakes the offered hand:: Good day
YarnKittymon: : ::the woman smiles:: My name's
Samantha. You're...Erin, right? How come you weren't at the show
today?
Griffchook: ER: ::smiles:: Nice to meet you
Samantha. Yes, I'm Erin. ::struggles to find an excuse:: I was...ermmm,
away on pressing business.
YarnKittymon: SM: So you can reappear? ::pauses::
*You're* the one who moved that rich guy out of the closet, aren't
you?
Griffchook: ER: ::takes a deep breath and
looks about, confused and searching for a familiar face:: No,
I'm afraid you're mistaken. My power is the sight of others.
YarnKittymon: SM: I know! There's nothing more
amazing than that! ::grabs Erin's arm:: Oh, *do* look through
my eyes!
Griffchook: ER: ::still scanning the crowd::
Em, perhaps later ::attempts to walk away::
YarnKittymon: SM: ::looks rather disappointed::
Can't I at least have an autograph? Or a kiss? ::quickly:: On
the cheek, of course.
Griffchook: ER: ::stares:: An autograph? Well,
uh, of course ::searches her purse for a pen::
YarnKittymon: SM: ::waits patiently, smiling
widely::
Griffchook: ER: ::finally produes a pen::
So, what do I sign?
YarnKittymon: SM: Oh...I don't have any paper...::pauses,
then rolls up her sleeve and holds out her arm:: How about that?
::smiles::
Griffchook: ER: ::turns away, rolls her eyes
and makes a face. Turns back to lady and smiles:: Sure ::scrawls
signature across Samantha's arm::
YarnKittymon: SM: ::hugs Erin with the arm that
doesn't have wet ink on it:: Wonderful! I'll come back and see
you tomorrow, of course. And every weekend!
Griffchook: ER: ::tries to look genuinely
pleased about that:: I look forward to it! ::walks away very quickly::
YarnKittymon: SM: ::waves at Erin, still holding
her sleeve up to keep the ink off of it::
Griffchook: ER: ::heads backstage, smiling
politely at various crowd members as she passes::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks up at Erin:: Hi, Erin
Griffchook: ER: ::looks relieved:: Hi Becky!
::stands beside her:: So, what is the nature of this madness I
find myself amongst?
Quantum Catz: BM: They're getting to meet the people in the
show...an extra way to make money
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just now notices Erin::
Oh, hello! ::pauses:: Wait...I thought...
Griffchook: ER: ::smiles and shakes her head::
Suddenly it all makes sense ::laughs quietly::
Quantum Catz: BM: What're you doing here anyway, didn't you
leave?
Griffchook: ER: Yes, I *did* leave. And then
I found myself here... ::thinks for a moment:: There must have
been a problem with the estate, it's the only reason that I would
be back ::looks worried::
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh my...I'm sorry to hear
that...though I *am* so happy to see you again!
Griffchook: ER: ::looks distant:: What could
have gone wrong? ::pauses, then smiles and looks at Libby:: Yes,
it's good to be here.
Quantum Catz: BM: Maybe your sister got the estate or something
YarnKittymon: LB: Send a telegram and find out.
Griffchook: ER: Yes, I'm sure it's nothing
to terrible. ::frowns:: Just more delays no doubt. ::claps her
hands together:: Right, anything I can do for this fine crowd?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles:: Things seem to
be winding down....though you could go to Raymond's arcade and
ask him for a dime...
HJennyG: ER: ::makes a face:: I think I'll
pass on that one. Nothing else then?
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::walks up to Libby and Erin::
Hey Erin back so soon?
HJennyG: ER: ::sighs:: Yeah, but don't
ask me why.
SquirtLaWort:
EM: Alright I won't, but I'm glad to see you again.
HJennyG: ER: ::smiles:: Yes, I'm actualy
glad I'm not still in England.
YarnKittymon: LB: No one can stay away from
Libby's Freak Show for long, eh? ::pauses:: That's kind of a good
slogan...
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::to Erin:: It's good to hear
you say that I was hoping you wern't sad to be back here.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::laughs:: Yeah, and if you try to make one
of us leave we'll lock you in a closet
HJennyG: ER: Of course not, I could never
be sad being here. Plus I wasn't really looking forward to going
home.
Alexlndigo:
AX: ::finally gets comes forth:: Oh boy what a day...
SquirtLaWort: EM: Well I was hoping you would
come back so this is a nice surprize.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smirks at Alex:: You couldn't
stand being surrounded by a dozen girls, could you?
HJennyG: ER: Really? ::smiles:: I actually
have no idea how long I'm able to stay. I just reappered a few
minutes ago. ::looks at Libby::
Alexlndigo:
AX: Oh I would like to take them all home! ::smirks:: just kidding..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::with a straight face:: If
you do, Alex, I'm afraid I'll have to charge them a quarter each.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::he laughs:: Oh Libby your
too good....
SquirtLaWort: EM: I hope you won't be leaving
any time soon.
HJennyG: ER: Same. Talking of that, I'd
really better get home and find out what's happened. ::smiles::
I'll see you later ::wanders around to say goodbye to everyone
before going back home::
JopDance: jm: ::takes off her shoes and rubs her feet::
I should be running off soon too.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks a bit dazed, though
not unhappy; snaps herself out of it, and hands Alex the five
dollar bill:: Youd' best take this back to your father; I could
make change, but after what we did to him...
Quantum Catz: BM: He probably deserved it anyway, right enough
Alexlndigo: AX: uhhh thanks Libby...but you
should keep it. ::throw it to the ground::
JopDance: ::hurres to the back, changes clothes, and walks
out, limping slightly:: Bye guys!
YarnKittymon: LB: Goodbye, Jasmine!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::picks up the five dollars::
I'll not have him think I'm a thief.
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::waves:: Bye!
Alexlndigo: AX: whatever...fahter is father
there aint no pleases him..
YarnKittymon: LB: I know, but I have my pride.
I'll give this to him next time I see him.
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::look at Libby and Alex wondering
what's going on but desides not to pry::
Alexlndigo: AX: He'll forget and wont take
it...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::stands up:: I'm gonna go see what Dan's
up to
YarnKittymon: LB: Then I'll slip it into his
pocket.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::is sitting on his haunches,
looking utterly contented::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins:: Hey, Dan. You look happy
YarnKittymon: DN: ::sounds rather like he's
sighing:: He's so nice...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::sits down:: yeah...you can....but
just keep it...Libby it woundn't hurt..
Quantum Catz: BM: Who is?
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks around::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: You know
I can't. ::irritated:: He thinks he's better than me...giving
me *five dollars* and pretending it's nothing...
YarnKittymon: DN: Peter. He's my new friend.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles:: Well, i'm glad you made a friend
today
YarnKittymon: DN: I didn't know so many people
could be so *nice*!
Alexlndigo: AX: oh Libby my father thinks
his God gift to the world....so just take it...
YarnKittymon: LB: I cannot accept a gift from
someone I...I *hate* so much!
Alexlndigo: AX: Hes not that bad...hes just
lost his whole family...he doesn't what to get to close to people
besides Alan...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles:: There're a lot of nice people around,
I guess
YarnKittymon: LB: Oh, I don't want him to get
close to *me.* But he could show a little consideration for *you*!
Alexlndigo: AX: Well I'm a fool...
YarnKittymon: LB: Fool or not, you're his *son*!
My brother's an idiot but my mother still cares for him! ::pauses,
then covers her mouth, evidently embarrassed::
Alexlndigo: AX: Don't you see I'm not anymore....the
Alex that was his son died in that fire...I've been dead all his
life.
YarnKittymon: LB: He should accept that you're
grown.
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::looks over at Alex:: So
then your living with a stranger?
Alexlndigo: AX: yes I guess so..
YarnKittymon: LB: Well, do what you like, Alex,
but I dislike that man.
Alexlndigo: AX: Yeah I do too...no matter
what I do...I try so hard...
SquirtLaWort: EM: Arguing about it won't change
anything. If you keep the money or give it back it won't change
the man.
Alexlndigo: AX: see hes right..Ethan, you
take the money!
YarnKittymon: LB: I don't expect any change
in him, but I won't let him think I acknowledge his superiority.
SquirtLaWort: EM: I'm not going to take it it's
Libby's.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::hits the 5 with lightning::
Now is dust.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::watches it burn::
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::gasps:: What a waste.
Alexlndigo: AX: oh sorry you feel that way...it
means nothing to me...just ink on paper...
YarnKittymon: LB: Ow! ::drops what's left of
the bill, then looks at Alex fiercely:: You...*fool*! That...::looks
about ready to cry::
YarnKittymon: DN: Yeah, there are...::nuzzles
Becky::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks at Libby:: Oh don't
cry, I'm sorry...
SquirtLaWort: EM: ::glares at Alex:: You should
think before you act once in a while!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quickly wipes her eyes::
I'll pay him back, Alex! That was as much as a whole day's take,
and it means nothing at all to you...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at her with a sorry
look:: I'll do it, don't worry...Libby its not like your going
to die...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::hugs Daniel and then looks back, hearing
shouting:: I wonder what they're fighting about
YarnKittymon: DN: I don't wanna think about
that now. ::mrrs::
SquirtLaWort: EM: Are you okay Libby?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just stares at Alex:: You...::stomps
back to the front room, then to the back one, slamming the door::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks down:: I really don't
mean to be so mean to her, really I tried...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs:: Me either
SquirtLaWort: EM: That was really stupid Alex.
Alexlndigo: AX: I really did not mean to do
that, I'm really trying to be a gentleman! Really!
SquirtLaWort: EM: You've got a lot to learn.
But in the meantime try not to worry about it. There's nothing
you can do right now. She'll forgive you later on.
Alexlndigo: AX: I just don't understand women...I
just can't
SquirtLaWort: EM: I don't understand them either,
I just know not to argue with them.
Alexlndigo: AX: Okay got it, no arguing....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::comes back a few minutes
later, most the make-up off her face, her eyes a little puffy::
Alex, you owe me five dollars.
Alexlndigo: AX: Hands her five dollars:: sorry
bout that...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::takes it primly:: Don't
destroy other people's property again.
Alexlndigo: AX:yes ma'am
