The girl just smiled. "No. You just have to amuse him. A laugh, a chuckle even a girly giggle." She giggled herself to illustrate the point. "Anyone who can make him laugh will be showered with riches." She then looked at Archaic and laughed even more.
"So funny..."

Alexiel was not at all surprised by the sudden change in clothing or the loss of most of her things, including her horse. She was slightly perturbed that her avian companion was missing and she hoped that he would be ok. Being as there was obviously nothing she could do to check on Daemon now, she examined herself. She still had all her weapons. The two blades in her boots were now strapped to her sandals. The blade on the spring at her wrist was still there. The blade that was strapped at her back was still in place, as were the kunai around her waist and along her body. Her whip was still in place around her waist. And most important, her powers still seemed to be functioning.
Then she saw the little girl and for a moment her heart leapt before plummeting to reality again. It was not her Sejai. This girl was different. Alexiel sighed, listening to the task that little girl described. And hardly moments after the girl had spoken, a challenger had come forth. A young man that Alex thought she remembered from the Void.
Alexiel examined the available seating and her eyes settled on the perfect spot. It would give her a good view of both the arena area and the Emperor of Tears. She made her way over to the seat and sat in it.
Now, she would wait and watch.

The prospect of riches didn't interest him so much, but this seemed to be the only way out of the abyssmal arena. He raked his hand through his hair as he thought. What would make a man laugh? Especially a man as sad-looking as him.... A sudden thought came to him, "Bizarre place, bizarre answer." He reached into his pouch and pulled two items out of his pouch. Irzael slowly stepped towards the Emperor of Tears, hands behind his back to hide the items. When he was in front of the emperor he pulled his hands out from behind his back to reveal the two clams with googly eyes he had picked up from the remains of the twigman. He pushed their faces together, "Oh, Mr. Clam I do love you so," he made them kiss, muah muah noise included.
He made a much softer voice and cooed, "Oh, I've been waiting to hear that my entire life! Let's get married!"
Irzel narrated, "And so the two were married. They had one child and then something terrible happened..."
He made a deep voice for 'Mr. Clam', "My back, I'm paralyzed!"
"But you don't have a back!" 'Mrs. Clam' replied.
"Mr. Clam then commited suicide because he was so depressed because he had no back," Irzael narrated, "The end."

The emperor leaned forward, his cloak falling from about his face onto his neck.
"Are you crazy, boy?"

"I think I may be becoming so, Emperor," Irzael replied, disappointed that his idea had failed. "Does anybody else want to give it a try?" He looked to the woman that was not far off. "I need time to reassess the situation, would you try?" Irzael had thought the story was funny...in a twisted sort of way....

Alexiel looked at the young man as he addressed her. Apparently, his try had failed to impress the Emperor. "I think I'll wait and watch for awhile. I hate rushing into things." As she spoke, she kept her eye on the Emperor. What of him? Why was he so sad?

"I guess I'll try again..." He thought for a few moments and decided to try a new tactic. Really stupid jokes that don't make sense.
"Alright Emperor, prepare to be giggly. Three ducks walk into a bar and one says to the other, 'quack'." Irzael was curious as to how well that would work.

"Was one a doctor?" The emperor frowned as he sat there, his hand rubbing his goatee as he thought about the answer. He then turned to the girl in front.
"I don't get it..." Waving Archaic off the arena spotlight. "Think before you speak boy."

"Actually yes, but no one went to him because he was a 'quack'," Irzael knew that the joke was terrible, but he needed to test to see what types of things the emperor liked. What would this man think is funny, dammit?!?

The emperor just looked at the man as if he had eaten a bad peacock beak or something. He then looked over at Alex. "You there...." He motioned her forward.
"You try..." he patted his flat stomach. "I hunger and tire of these games.."

Alexiel blinked. She had been staring intently at the Emperor as he watched the young man with the bad jokes and suddenly the Emperor was looking and motioning in her direction.
Alex looked left and behind her, then right and behind her and finally back at the Emperor before pointing at herself. "Me, your majesty?" O_o

"Do you see anyone else here?" Well, of course there were other people there, but he was an emperor. He didn't need to acknowledge anyone's existence unless he so chose.
"Make me laugh..." he grumbled. "It's supposed to be good for digestion." And then his lips quivered before a loud, bellowing belch issued from his throat and he thumped his chest with his fist.

Alexiel sighed, making her way down to the arena. The moment she hit the ground, she gave a grunt. This was not going to be easy. "Bloody ********... Why couldn't I have taken mail-order clown classes?"

"Mail order clown classes?" The emperor looked at her in puzzlement as well. What strange being were they indeed. He tapped his fingers and frowned. "I'm waiting..."
