Bartleby approached Lin who was peering at the Great White beast between the middle and bottom rung of the stands he himself had constructed, his claws tight around the bars and his small body quaking with terror.
"Now my boy..." Bartleby placed his hand on Lin's slim shoulder and Lin almost jumped out of his skin with an audible yelp, prompting Farnum himself to jump in startled fright.
"Sorry boss!" Lin saluted bartleby, once he had realized who approached him. "I didn't know it was you! That beastie has me on edge!"
"Well get over it!" Bartleby snarled. "I want to know if that special trap has been completed yet."
"Almost." Lin answered. "I'm having a little problem with it." Lin pinched his foreclaw and thumb close together to emphasize this point.
Bartleby's brow furrowed into a frown. "And the problem would be...?"
"I can't get it to work."
Bartleby face palmed and dragged his hand roughly down his face, eyeing the diminutive gremlin standing attentively in front of him. He wouldn't inform Hagetha about this. She's never let him hear the end of it if she discovered the gremlin was fouling up such a simple trap. She didn't want Lin working for them in the first place.
Bartleby huffed, then pulled a folder from the inside of his vest and removed a photograph from the inside.
"Just... make it work! I have a very special monster in mind for that little beauty. Someone I want you to personally lure into it."
"Oh yeah? The werecat twins I presume. *growls!*"
Bartleby frowns. "No." And he passes the picture to Lin's open claws and the gremlin finds himself looking at a picture of...
Gryff!
Lin frowned.
Lin's bottom lip wobbled.
Lin blinked and then frowned again before he looked back to Farnum's expectant face.
"Problem?"
"No. I mean, yeah. I mean NO! It's just ... isn't a circus too ... mainstream for Gryff?"
"Be that as it may, I want him captured as soon as possible. His put off personae can offer this three ring show a touch of ... class." Bartleby snickered and then looked at Lin.
"Contact him."

She went from hero to damsel in three-point-two-seconds flat!
"Ahh a Normie!" She screamed, as the giant hand grabbed her she dropped her iCoffin to the dusty floor. "No! My iCoffin! Hey! What's you're childhood trama? Get your ... HAND off of me!"
She struggled against the hand to no avail, it would not budge! And she certainly wanted to get away when the witch came floating down and called her names! How rude!
Then Lin brought out the tracker and she trembles with fear in suspense of what horrid creature they could come up with.
It was the most terrorizing creature she'd ever seen!!!
"AAAAHHHHH!!" The prefect horrified scream of an actress exploded from her lungs at the sight of the beast! Plus, everyone knew Vanissha was a dog person.
"What madness is this?! Please let me GO! I want to go HOME!!!" Tears ran down her face, then suddenly stopped as Hagetha's spell did it's job, the trembles went away, as did the tears, replace with a smile.
"Oh My Ghoul, Who needs monster high! I'm going to be so famous!"

Outside in the woods with Hellene and Roswell, Draconia looked at the time on her iCoffin.
"She's been in there for a while, do you think she-" Suddenly, the three of them saw a spotlight blare up somewhere in the middle of the circus tents, and the sounds of movement. "Oh! Oh dear!"

Hellene's rose up in the air a few inches. Her wings beat so fast they hummed but, unable to decide if she should rush to see if her friend was alright and the pragmatism of knowing there was nothing she could do even if Vanissha wasn't, Hellene bobbed in a tight little circle.
"oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no ...."

Draconia took a deep breath and peered through the knothole in the fence near them....the selfsame knothole that Vinnie had looked through only a day ago, though Draconia didn't know that.
What she saw made her ruby heart skip a beat. Vanissha, surrounded by unspeakable horror-beasts! All of the other kids cheering her on as she posed and soaked in their admiration.
Draconia reeled back in horror.
"We have to get out of here!" She told her friends in a panic. "You won't BELIEVE what is going on in there!"
With no other choice, the three monsters crept backwards into the woods and away from Cirque Sinistaire.

"argh!" Ronan flailed, but Dorianna was actually remarkably strong for her size. Having been rather forcibly dragged back up a few rungs, he managed to catch his breath and glared to the Selkie good. "What in all the briny deep are you playing at?!" Slowly the shock wore off and he calmed down, adding rather begrudgingly. "That... was impressive." before glancing back down to Vanissha and the kitten.
"Hey look, it's Vanissha" She seemed to be enjoying herself.

Suddenly a bright light ignite over the kids in the tent and Hagetha floated down toward them, a sinister scowl on her face but yet keeping a safe distance between herself and that beast.
"Get to your cages and get your four hours sleep! Tomorrow is a busy, busy day! Now MOVE -- or else you all sleep with that!"
She points at the kitten.
*mew*

Doriana knew that Ronan wasn't a morning person, so she dragged him out to the tent, back to that same diving pole. She stood at the bottom of it as he looked at her with annoyance.
"OMG OMG Ronan! I've got the beast idea in water diving HISSTORY! Her mind began to wonder into time managment again, but she shook her head, refraining. "Obviously, if we want to be the beast divers, then why don't we watch some others so we'll know how to be BETTER than them!"
Doriana paced back and forth, looking up at the top of the structure that Ronan built. Ronan looked mighty confused. "I mean, are you sure you even have the time?"
Doriana skidded to a hault. She turned around to face Ronan. "You know what? I don't CARE about time anymore! The circus is more important, and we have to impress Mister Fernum and Miss Mistie! Or..." She shuttered. "They might make us pet a kitten!"

While usually Ronan was early to rise, since joining the circus he'd been working flat out, while Dorianna seemed to flitter about rambling about time. He was hexhausted, and he'd hoped pretending to be asleep would keep her from bothering him for a few hours, but no such luck.
He frowned at her plan. Choosing his words carefully.
"And... what did you have in mind?" The idea of petting a kitten sent a shiver down his spine.

Doriana thought a minute. Where could they find other diving acts to make them better? "Well, I have a lap top. We could take it to the Die-Ner, don't they have wi-fi? We could use the FrightTube to look up the greatest diving acts!"
Doriana actually liked the feeling of no longer worrying about time.

"but... " He looked around, the idea seemed like a good one. They DID need to get better and practice just wasn't enough. They needed inspiration, finesse. He lowered his voice. "Are you sure Miss Mistie and Mr Farnum will not mind our absence? I would hate for them to be short handed this afternoon, there's still so much to do to prepare..." He trailed off. While this was true, they also desperately needed to refine their diving act or all this work was for nothing. He nodded slowly, yes, the circus needed this. "But we should not be gone long, we still need to practice and I had some minor tweaks I wanted to make to the apparatus... "

"I'm sure they won't mind, Kai and Nero have left to go do something also." She motioned toward their dressing areas. "But first, we need to find something decent to wear."

"Decent? What's wrong with.. " He stopped himself, true, perhaps the die-ner wouldn't be too enthused about swimwear. He nodded. "Let's be quick, there's a lot to do today, got to be ready for the grand opening!" He grinned excitedly. "It's going to be uhmaazing"

*CRACK-A-WHHIP!!* Vanissha smiled as her whip made that pleasant sound. She thankfully lost that vicious beast kitten somewhere on the grounds... She'd have to find it later... or IT would find her!! gonk "Hello?! Did someone say they are going out? Because, my iCoffin broke, and I NEED to go to radioshreik and get a replacement." She didn't mind if they needed to change, she didn't need to as everything always looked great on her. But they had better not try and pull a fast one on her. "And don't even think about ditching me. or I'll go straight to the head cheeses!"

"What happened to your Icoffin?" Ronan frowned. "You don't need an icoffin, all you need is here right? The circus is so clawsome.. " He sighed wistfully. "But sure, maybe you'll have some insight into our act. An outside opinion could be very useful in formulation the ideal performance, do you not agree Dorianna?"
