It was true that the carnival was full of wondrous things, all of them enticing the senses and begging for curiosity. Unlike the Red Light District, this place was more lively, full of bright whimsical colors and plenty to gawk over. Though...to Jace's right was a grand case. Golden filigree swirled all around its corners, encasing the woman inside. Ribbon seemed to waft around her, enchanted by something completely invisible but whatever the case, she was staring right at the young man. Corseted curves spun, high on her tip-toes she turned like a prima ballerina, and then grey eyes were again upon him. They were sad but curious, as if he was the only one in the crowd that would understand...or help.
Jace almost let out a yawn, when a chill ran down his spine. On the very boundaries of his vision he saw the girl surrounded by golden ribbons, she danced about in a glass case. It reminded Jace very much of a music box the ones that were often passed down the family and had jewelry kept in them. It was a profound thing to see it and not hear any music.This first oddness caused him to start noticing several oddities, his mind quickly racing. Such a beautiful performance, but something was off. There was no smile on the face of the performer, even the eyes seemed to have resigned themselves from any life of their own, and why the case? All of the other performers were in the open air... It wouldn't have warranted a second though if it was a water performance, but it wasn't. Then the eyes landed on him again... and he made his decision. If he was wrong he would owe somebody an apology but he wasn't about to shake the shiver that just ran down his spine. He had seen a glistening in the grey eyes, the eyes that had strained as much as they could to remain on his figure as long as possible. It was the glisten of a stubborn tear, one that refused to fall. When the girl could see him again, he pulled one pistol out of its holster and whispered, "I hope you're ready for this." he flipped the weapon around and struck the glass with all of his might.

Jack Ridgevale Rank: Trainee Energy:350/350 Strength/Speed: 6/5 Active Machines: Roacher Jack was quite surprised by the light that seemed to radiate from the carnival when he got there. Living in Nocturne his whole life, he had never realized that there would be places like this out there. He decided to watch some of the other locals interact with the jesters, silently laughing to himself from afar. No one had ever really noticed him earlier in his life, and there was no reason to draw the ire of some bloodthirsty beast here either. Jack just hoped this wasn't all a hoax to lure humans like himself in for the more predatory denizens to reap, as he took a drink from a mug of cider he was given by one of the vendors.

Clink.
She smiled sweetly, giving some thanks but the shot did nothing to the glass. Tendrils pressed to the clear confines, it was momentarily but enough that he would notice and then she kept spinning. As if life was only a series of contoured waltz, turning into infinity.
All around the crowd the clock tower chimed, it was midnight. Everyone at the carnival hoorayed, some cheering happily, others didn't even notice nor cared.
Again though, she looked at him, a subtle point of her fingers to the tent behind of her. It was black and white striped, the same as the others but it seemed to be dark...
A brief moment of confusion flashed across his face, not even a chip in the glass? The, tendrils moving in response to the strike... Jace wasn;t sure why but it was obvious that some power was at work. The smile of the girl saddened Jace for a moment, a silent thank you, when he hadn't been able to do anything. And then... the girl pointed. Jace looked at the tent, at first glance it seemed to be like all the others but the longer he looked at it the more he felt uneasy. He looked back at the girl, there was no mistaking it, she was hinting he should go there. "Ill be back," the words were barely more than a silent motion of the lips.
Jace walked to the tent, slipping into the curtain like opening. It was dark inside and it took his eyes a moment to adjust from the bright lights of the festivities outside.

"Tch," he exclaimed. Vince always hated working at these stupid things but it paid extremely well and he was perfect for the job. He noticed the bland, stark human, in fact, he could smell him above all of the other succulent aromas. So he tossed his f** and pushed off the wall, heading straight behind Jack. Though as he approached, Vince straightened his sleeves and seemed to be preparing something... As he drew closer his hands were gathered, cupping colorful chips, or fabric, it was rather hard to tell. All the women would turn, staring at Jack as if he was the center of attention now; however, the real grandeur was Vincent. His cocky smirk flashing a pointed fang, his incubus energy oozing from his pores. Praying alms released the vibrant petals, splashing the human with them and the surrounding crowd.
Jack would see the people but the ground around him started to morph, the snow melting away and green pastures began to rise. Higher and higher they climbed until it was almost aligned with his hips.

Jack Ridgevale Rank: Trainee Energy:350/350 Strength/Speed: 6/5 Active Machines: Roacher As he watched the ongoing action, he noticed a few women look at him strangely. He didn't think anything of it at first, until the snow around his feet had melted and the grass had grown by an absurd amount. This caused him to jump at first, but he soon calmed down and took in what was now suddenly a verdant field around him. "Well, this is an interesting development." He wasn't quite sure what he expected from this event, but he definitely hadn't expected to be in a field. Lifting up part of his mask to smell the rare scent of a fresh breeze, He muttered, more to himself than anyone else, "I wonder who I should be thanking for this."
"I wonder who I should be thanking for this."

She would merely nod, then continued her dance. Jace on the other hand would descend into the dark depths, though it wasn't without comfort. He could hear a soft melody play, unlike the cheerful upbeat steps of the one outside. This one was calm, tranquil, extremely elegant. There was no light though, only the music and as Jace approached it grew louder, this was only because he drew near the source.
It was foolish, curiosity killed the cat and though it brought him back....Jace was not a damn cat.
As he ventured, he would grow sleepy. Sands of time weighing heavily on his eye lids, when was the last time he slept? Had it really been that long? It was a wonder with all that hard training that he could even stay awake! Candles bobbed up and down, the chamber he wished to find was right up ahead, a thick velvety curtain the only barrier between him and whomever.
Lullaby Rank: B Requires: Adept Rank Description: A hypnotizing and calming tune is played from the instrument. This will slowly take the enemy into a deep slumber if they are not careful. It would only take effect once the song is finished but the drowsiness and the calming melody takes effect almost instantly. Takes two undisturbed posts of playing the song to take full effect. Once cast, the tune no longer needs to be continued. All enemies who have heard this tune would have gone to rest for 10 posts.

"Heh," The magi jester continued to perform his magic tricks on Jack. His exquisite cloak of gold, sapphire, and rubies glistened against the moonlight and lanterns. Vincent wasn't such a bad guy, he got laid already...at least a few times while he was in this darkened city. So all in all, he was in a rather chipper mood. His boss was a d**k, but eh, it was a rare thing indeed to actually like your boss. His smile flashed again, this time as his hands waved a giant lion rose from the plains that Jack was standing in. It roared viciously, saliva slapping the ground as it yawned at the human. It's maw almost as wide as Jack was tall. Beady black eyes stared at him, taking in this strangely armored man.

As Jace ventured further into the tent a soothing tune played into his ears, somehow drowning out all other noise, Jaces eyelids grew heavy and he allowed them to shut for the briefest of moment's... No! he forced his body into action against his every wish to fall peacefully to sleep. but the music was so nice, like the soft tune from a jewelery box... Jaces eyes widened a bit, Jewelry box, the silent ballerina begging for help and the suspicion of foul play. Jaces mind went back to everything he had seen, this had to be some type of magic having to do with music... music had to do with hearing... A sudden spark of either genious or insanity, Jace had no time to debate and hope for genious. drawing his pistols and bringing them beside his ears and firing both simultaneously. the twin explosions sent a surprising rush of pain through his head, and for a moment the only thing in existence was a pain and a ringing in his ears. Only a ringing, no more music. Jace gave a weak smile, the song has still made him drowsy, and somehow a gunshot right beside his ears still hadn't completely reversed the damage of the song.
Jace shook his head a bit doing his best to keep his eyes widely open and pushed through a velvet curtain in front of him.

Even as the lightning crackle of gunfire sounded, the music never faltered, not a single note off key in the slightest. The being behind the piano continued to play on as if this performance was for an opera house, it echoed in the small chamber of Persian rugs, candles, poetry, and of course, a bed. The man, he was a beautiful man with ungodly features that rivaled some of the world's most divine creations. If perfection was made to flesh, this man was it. When he turned to face Jace, who so rudely walked in uninvited, a comforting smirk drew up the corners of his maw.
"How may I help you?"
Even his voice was charismatic, alluring to the untrained ears and eyes. He stood from the bench, only a few inches taller than the human but his chest was bare and chiseled, a plush robe draped over both shoulders and the slacks he wore were ironed but barely buttoned. It was as if he had just thrown them on and the previous party had vanished. Steadily but swiftly, he approached the human, sky blue eyes staring deep in the soul of the gunslinger.
"You come into my chamber uninvited, obviously you want something..."
What he was doing was ensnaring the young man, the blonde's head tilting ever-so-coyly. This incubus was without a doubt devilish, his gaze the vice.

Jace stumbled upon a man with dazzling good looks. Looks enough that Jace couldn't help but to feel an attraction to him. Having lived in nocturne for such a long time Jace knew an incubus when he saw one, although this was the first one that had targeted Jace to be a victim of his "charms." Jace honestly didn't know how to handle this one, but the man seemed to be of a sophisticated sort, maybe if he were to be as irritating as possible...
"Dude, I can't hear anything you just said, you're music made my eardrums bleed! Maybe you should spell it out for me, like literally," Jace made a conscious effort to yell even though his voice would have surely been louder than usually, his ears still ringing from the gunshots. Incubi and succubi were masters of seduction, but it all came down to an attraction of the senses. Jace crossed his eyes and relaxed his eyelids Just enough so that his view of the incubus was not much more than a blob. Now the smooth voice and good looks would be rendered useless.

The human could be deaf and blind, neither mattered in the art of seduction. It is a bewitching energy that is pushed from the incubus's form and washed over Jace, this man's aura too great for one such as himself to even hope of withstanding. Instead with diligence and feral grace the tall being swooped in, grasping the human's backside at the crook of spine. Wet lips were pushed against the blabbering ones, molding and seizing speech. Jace had walked right into the lion's den and up to the beast himself. It didn't matter if either party was attracted to the other, of course Jace's face would most likely resemble this....as his attraction to the same sex was now overwhelming as opposed to the former love for womanly curves. How? What? Why? All of the questions whisked away with the incubus's tongue.
Seduction The way the succubus/incubus seduces the opposite sex with their charms. Regardless of rank, the opposite sex will find it very difficult to deny them. If the subject is two ranks lower then the user, they're automatically seduced. The higher ranks can be as well, but it'll be more difficult. The succubus/Incubus must use this to have its true effect. Once captured the target focuses only on the succubus/incubus, sort of like tunnel vision blocking out the surroundings. To clarify, seduction is energy. It is not eye-sight or hearing based. It's an aura that pushes outwards and seduces people. It can't be blocked by barriers/etc. People seduced will not attack you, and you can basically force them to do things depending on what you say. They won't hurt/kill themselves or attack another person.
When the Incubus finally pulled away, Jace's face was pale with shock, and then he began to turn red, flushed with the heat of embarrassment. And then, Jace got angry, not a furious anger, The anger of a man who simply felt that life wasn't fair."Man this is some ********' bullshit, just came in here trying to help out a pretty girl, but instead i'm swapping spit with some dude." Jace put his hands up to his forehead and rubbed his temples with his thumbs for a few short seconds. Then he looked up at the incubus, "And you just HAD to do that didn't you? Just HAD to ******** around with my identity! You have any idea how long this is gonna ******** me up? There is not enough alcohol and therapy in the WORLD to undo that s**t!"

Stone-like features remained hardened as the incubus stared at the human who was spouting some nonsense. They seemed to always do that. It was this excuse or that one, taking what they want and leaving as they pleased. Well not this time, this time Jace would find his body moving and placed against the bed. Fingers pulling at the cotton shirt and leather jacket, all the while he was grinning. It was nothing to 'charm' Jace, in comparison he was weak and dainty. A frail flower in the mighty, forsaken woods.
"Shut up. You talk too much. You want me to silence you?"
His aura exuding continuously. Jace's mind could say no for only so long but his body was speaking an entirely different language.
