Valarie glowered menacingly and stood. "We'll see, Brita." She whispered. After another moment of pondering her image she turned towards her tent. "I'll meet up with you in a few minutes. Don't eat everything." Lost in thought, she strode into her tent and showered. Her fur vibrating before disappearing to reveal her alabaster skin. She rubbed absently at the bruise forming on her hip and finished up. Picking out another sundress, albeit a blue one, she sat down on her bed and began to brush the knots out of her hair.

(( Zolis, the HighFlyers and the Acrobats don't like each other so Rina and Valarie can't be friends. It's in Rina's Bio but you may not have noticed since I've added bits into them. If you'd please revise your post that would be great.
Tsanten Omocan hun the posts must be at a minimum one 7 sentence paragraphs. So if you'd revise your post as well, to not be a run on and have more to it that would be great thank you. ))
(( Ps: My grandmother is very ill and probably has little time left so I may or may not post regularly. thought I'd let you all know what's going on.))

Alphonse sighed and sat down, it was no use trying to get through to his sisters now. He turned to Althea. "Ne? Yeah, it'll probably ease the tensions that are running high from doing very little of recent. Although some of us will be....working our tails off." He smiled at that statement and began to make some tea, putting his violin out of harms reach.
The last time he really badly lost his temper was when someone, probably one of the high flyers, broke his violin. You have to watch out for the quiet ones, they keep all those bad emotions inside until someone does something to tick them off enough and they'll explode and lash out at the poor idiot that set them off. That happened when someone officially smashed up his violin, the last bit of his old life. He had lost it and shouted at everyone, about everything that had upset him over the last two years. He avoided everyone after that for about three weeks, although he had a feeling that everyone wanted to stay out of his line of fire at the time. Eventually everyone got over it and he remade the violin.
After making some tea, leaving enough for anyone else who wants any, he sat down and opened up his sketch pad, full of sketches for new outfits. In these pictures he didn't have to straighten his hair.

Brita purred at Valerie, "Careful not to ruin that great hair of yours." She chuckled and stretched, shaking dirt and twigs from her fur. She caught Alphonse with his sketch pad and she trotted over to him, looking over his shoulder, "What are you drawing?" She always liked to see his clothing designs. She wasn't so much interested in the clothes as she was at the skill with which he drew. Most people didn't know this, but she was a secret art lover. And when she saw something that looked good, she grew endlessly intrigued. Her tail flicked curiously and she tilted her head to the side, trying to see the sketch pad.

Alphonse smiled and showed her the page. "Eh, its just something but I'll be making this one, I've got the pinstripe material somewhere." He sipped his tea, and put the pencil he had been holding back on the table with his tail. He was sort of special between the acrobats as his tail was probably the strongest muscle he had and could use it for loads of things.
Alphonse was a musical artist along with being a regular one. Although he had a pacifistic nature most of the time he liked darkly mysterious things, and his look had a permanently spooky aura. He got up and put his Piano back in its case and put a few things back into a worn grey-blue shoulder bag "I've got things to do.. I'll see you guys later then. Brita, when you've finished with my sketchbook you can put it in the back of my caravan." He nodded to the others and headed back to his caravan. The Caravan was used for making costumes and where he could get some solitude when he wanted.
When he joined up with his 'sisters' and Cristo he was quiet but upset and angry too. His younger twin sister was killed, when they tried to escape a cruel master. She gave her life so that he could escape. The space away from everyone else was good for him. A few minutes later silver steam could be seen from the tree line. Where Alphonse's caravan stood.

Kale walked into the tent, he had on a simple cotton white button up shirt with black cargo jeans and a pair of brown suspenders that held them up. he looked around seeing some of the entertainers glad not to see the snake charmer but he was really looking for one person, he saw the acrobats and highflyers getting in their lounging time and the tent already smelled of cheap peanuts and stale popcorn"Althea...where could you be hiding"he said holding his hand to his forehead as to block the glare so he could look around, his Russian accent spitting out as he spoke""Brita...do you know where the mistress has gonehe said scratching a t a large scar on the side of his neck that slashed threw a old looking tattoo, it seemed military in design but mysterious in orgin

Althea smiled lovingly at her acrobats shaking her head at their antics. Nodding to the just awakened fire eater she spoke. " No he's been fine this morning, just his usual antics is all, trying to catch things on fire, as usual." Chuckling at softly her eyes soften to a bright amber as she followed the troop to breakfast intent on a biscuit and some bacon. Turning at the smell of a light smoke she smiled gently at the sight of it coming from Alphonses caravan. That cat, he was most likely hard at work making costumes again. Artisic thing that one was. But that was good. He was good at what he did and he enjoyed it, which made her happy.
Walking slowly she thought back to when the cats had come. Alphonse had been so quiet, more so than now. He had eventually come out of his shell slowly, and Althea hadn't pushed him. She knew his tragic past and never questioned him. It just wasn't her way. She welcomed all with open arms and a place among the family. Turning at a familar voice she smiled and called out as she rounded a corner. " I'm right here Kale. Good morning Beast Tamer." she spoke softly.

Kale saw Althea and bowed, his hair covered his face and one of the lashing scars on his neck came from under his collar as he lent forward"good morning Mistress"he said as his Russian accent chewed a few of his words but rolled off his tongue with a want to speak its language"i assume youve been waiting for me to cook...less one of the fire eaters have already started preparing it"he said standing himself straight up with an air of respect to him even under the five o clock shadow that was prominent among his face and seemed to bleed from his black hair

A decent while later, Alphonse wandered back in wearing the exact outfit in his sketch. Whenever the circus needed costumes Alphonse was always happy to help. The quality of the clothing he made was astounding. He could have easily been a top-of-the-range designer if he had wished to but he deeply cared for his family her and...the fashion industry was very uptight and racist, hoping that they ' wouldn't get upstaged by a black and purple cat.'
He was also very fast when he made clothing and costumes. An old friend had given him a lucky charm to put over the caravan, it looked like a midnight blue dream-catcher and that gave him extra speed while working.
Him wearing clothes was a bit of a novelty but it suited him just fine. His body fur was very short and, like the rest of his fur and hair, incredibly soft and silky. His sisters very rarely wore official clothing and it was a bare minimum when worn so. Shoes were just a personal novelty and only used when going across difficult terrain. Being barefoot suited almost everyone around here. His sister Mitsuki, had always loved his eye for detail and he considered his continuation with the arts also a tribute to her.
Only Althea knew he had a small, sort of shrine in the back of his caravan dedicated to Mitsuki.
He found Althea talking to Kale and wandered over.
"I was just wondering if anything special is to be planned for the opening. I'm yet to start new costumes so I'd be happy to take some orders for anyone that cares for a specific image."

Rina was sitting at the table, rather alone. It was strange to think she'd been here for so long yet had hardly made any friends. Glancing around, she had her brother but no one else that really came around to her. Leaning back in her chair she pushed her hair out of her face and took a deep breath. She really should be focusing on her proformance tonight, but it seemed too far away from her and she didn't have an outfit made yet. That could be a problem. . . .

Althea smiled at the Beast Tamer before she spoke. " Kale enough with the mistress talk you know I hate that. As for the good I don't know if they've started or not you can check." Looking to her acrobat as he walked up she had to look again. " Very nice Alphonse I like that on you. Hmm besides it being opening night it's up to the family if they have anything special planned. You know I let you all have free reign on most nights. I'll ask the others if they need anything though dear. Although if it's not to much I'd adore you forever if you could concoct me a new ring outfit dear." Smiling with a wink at the young feline she laughed softly.
Alphonse was amazing with anything fashion wise and most of the family's outfits were made by him. Her own outfits were very often made by the fashion savvy feline. She was honored ot have him amoung her people, instead of out in the fashion world. The Gods knew that he had more than enough talent. She always thought he'd be head of any fashion line he could dream up. But Alphonse was never one for all the dirty games of the business world, and fashion was one of the most cut throat industries out there.

Brita was completely fascinated by Alphonse' sketches. So much that when the Beast Tamer spoke to her, she didn't hear him at first. After a few moments, his words registered in her brain and she looked up sharply, "Oh, Kale, she's over.... Oh, never mind, you found her." She scratched at her ear, then went to her 'brother's' tent and returned his sketchpad. Padding bakc out, she glanced briefly at the fairy, feeling kinda bad for her. Then spite overtook her emotions and she scoffed, "You look sad there, Rina. No one to dance around the mushrooms with you?" It wasn't her intentions to be so mean, but sometimes she couldn't help it. When she didn't like someone, she couldn't hold her tongue.

Kale smiled and then laughed a little"forgive me...old habits die hard...you know that old saying"he said with a smirk and chuckled some"ill be in the kitchen then"he bowed again and turned and started for the kitchen to start a good meal of biscuits, sausage and eggs as he thought about it another thought popped into his head, he forgot his monkey...he never cooked without his monkey, he turned on his heal and started walking back towards his trailer to get his little companion

Valarie left her tent, feeling in a somewhat more leveled mood. She found her family sitting at tables, enjoying their breakfast. Once near them she heard Brita's jibe at the high flyer, and she snickered, shooting Rina a manevolent glare. "Don't daunt her too much, if she comes after you she might drop her fairy dust." Her eyes raked over the Fairy, watching her reaction with glee. "And wouldn't that be a shame." With a giggle she flicked her hair over her shoulder and padded to a table, sitting down with a graceful flounce.

Rina rolled her eyes over to the cats. They always thought they were so great, but they were just fat house cats. "Don't make me sick the dogs on you, and i gave my fairy dust to your father already. He loved it." She said and smirked for a second then returned to her happy self and smiled brightly. "Have a nice day." She said and fluttered into the kitched to find some more food to grab. Rina needed to head out to get started on her costume, it would take her all day to finish it.
