At Gregor's silent warning Andrea's lips pressed into a fine line, her bangs covering her eyes before a slight smile pulled at one of the corners of her mouth; so, even he didn't trust Pix..so why should she? She didn't know Gregor's name yet, but so far he had been somewhat kind towards her.

Pix smiled tightly as he noticed Gregor's warning, it would be fun game. He turned his mind to more pressing matters. The room was open enough for the acts so performing shouldn't be a problem, "Well then, let us begin the first act!"
((Not sure what to do without the others right now ._. ))

(( Hey all, I'm Eva. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.))
Leszya wiped the sweat from her brow as her run slowed to a walk. Running wasn't likely the best way to stay calm and grounded at a time like this anyways. She was so confused! The temple should be somewhere around here, according to the directions of that overzealous forester. She smiled vaguely as she imagined a respite from her ordeal. A bath. Oh, a bath would be a beautiful thing at the moment. She firmly promised herself at least an hour in a tub of water at the first opportunity she saw. She idly began to wonder what she’d do for a bath. Pay? Yes. Flirt? Maybe. Kill? Probably.
It didn’t disturb her that she would more readily kill than flirt.
Hopelessly lost, she'd spent the last six days sleeping wrapped in her worn leather trench coat and subsisting mainly on dried fruit. 'Dried fruit in short supply...' she added mentally. Maybe she'd be able to barter for some kind of provisions if she ever found the damned place. Meat, maybe. The vegetarian lifestyle was all well and good for a child in a nunnery or some pretentiously ethical scholar, but this was survival. She’d need to retrain herself to stomach it, but that seemed an easy task compared to her usual endeavours in this charming expedition of hers. Vaguely, she wondered if she'd even be let in, absently trying to smooth her hundreds of thin dreadlocks and rubbing a spot of dirt on her neck in an attempt to make it disappear. ‘There goes the flirting idea’ she thought mirthfully. Skinny and wild, she doubted she could pass for a lady. Leszya studied her hands as she pushed away branches and foliage from her face, attempting to damage them minimally as to not leave a trail. They were leathery and calloused, the nails ridden with dirt and long as claws. Ah well, who would expect a hunter to look presentable? She didn't look presentable at the best of times.
Frustrated, she slammed her fist into the trunk of the first tree in her immediate vision, then winced in pain. Too much enthusiasm, that was the problem. ‘Energy conversation, Leszya!’ she muttered, breaking off from the stream of curse words that welled up her throat in reaction to her throbbing knuckles. Sighing, she heaved her back further on her shoulder and continued silently on her way.
It was another three hours before she arrived at the building, and she was tired and frustrated. It was tempting to just lean her forehead against the heavy wooden doors and relax, but she was so close. She raised a fist and hit it firmly against the entrance once, feeling the sound vibrate in her sore hand. A knock is a knock and she was too damned tired for pleasantries. She swayed slightly in the spot as she waited to see if the door would be opened.

((Eva's character has been added to the character list.))
Lucas's ears twitched as his rather good hearing took in the resonating knock of the door. He motioned to Tanner that he was going to go check as he walked briskly to answer.
As the door opened, it creaked rather loudly, forcing Lucas to wait until it was quiet again to greet the visitor.
"Aye, how are you? You need somethin'?" Lucas gave an awkward grin to Leszya.
Kai, his curiosity overtaking his better judgement, quietly meandered to see who was at the door. Peering through the doorway, he squinted at a woman from the other side of the large library.
Ulysses seemingly had not noticed the knock at the door, and clapped his hands as Pix announced the start of the show.
Awkward silence followed as everyone was too sheepish to volunteer. Tanner looked around at the others, and gave a deep sigh. Sauntering to "center stage," he blew fire out of his mouth to the delight of the old man.

(( Thanks for the welcome, guys, it's nice to meet you ))
Leszya returned the grin with a small smile. Though her fatigue was still causing her to waver, she gathered her wits about her and replied.
"Yes, I'm fine, I'm great-good, I just... just.." she stopped herself, closed her eyes for a moment and decided to start again. " My name is Leszya. I've been lost for quite a while, I'm running low on provisions. I was wondering if there was room here for me to rest for a time. I'm very tired." She could feel her knees getting weaker.
"I will pay, gladly"

"Madam, I'd be more that willing to pay you," Pix approached her with his most charming grin, the jester's outfit not hampering him at all. "We could never turn down a beautiful woman in need, come sit, drink and be marry," He waved her towards the performing room along with an all too effeminate wag of his hips No one would accuse Pix of being out of character.
((Just wondering if you've read everything so far :'P))

Ulysses frowned, everyone was leaving in the middle of the show.
Lucas was glad Pix did the welcome, he wasn't very good at greetings, himself. He followed the two back into the room.
Kai went to look for food to bring to Leszya. He returned with some water and some oddly fresh-looking wild fruits, setting them on the table in front of her. He had to help a girl in need.

As all this happened, Leszya's eyes were getting wider and wider.
"Oh, well yes...alright. Thanks. " she said perplexedly, following behind Pix and taking in her surroundings. She slipped into a chair, observing everyone in the room. This didn't make sense. According to what she had been told this temple wasn't occupied by many.
Her suspicions disappeared momentarily when Kai, who she hadn't seen before, appeared with food and drink.
"Again, thank you, this is very kind" smiled smally before going at the water and fruits with appreciation. Soon, she slowed down. Leszya was suddenly aware that she was: 1) Eating a regular portion for the first time in a long time, and therefore likely to get sick, and 2) In a room full of strangers. She had walked into a situation that could be disastrous if these people weren't truly friendly. She began examining where the everyone in the room was located, how she could make a quick exit if need be. She wanted to ease her mind by asking some questions, but there was obviously some kind of show going on. Interrupting seemed inappropriate, so she began to quietly watch. Maybe she'd learn something useful.
(( No sir! About 15 pages of the beginning and 15-20 of end, I needed a reason not to write a Psych paper.))

((I'll post a real post later, but I'd like to mention that while reading the whole RP is not required, it'll help you to gain an understanding of the point of the RP. Most revelations were revealed right in the middle.))

Andrea blinked when a strange girl came in and began to eat feverishly, almost like a pig it seemed to her. She blinked again, wondering who she was and why she was there. Then she gave a light shrug, causing the bells on her outfit to jingle again. People were supposed to be performing, but not many were doing anything. Andrea wondered what she was supposed to do, vaugly remembering Pix saying that she was supposed to be the apparently beautiful assistant for something. She almost glared at him for just thinking about it, but she restrained herself; it would be bad to blow their cover by simply glaring at someone, especially at someone who had earlier seemed almost intimate with her. She remembered how Pix had spoken to her, and how he had touched her so warmly before letting go. Andrea almost blushed, unaccustomed to someone behaving that way towards her, but Gregor's previous warning made that awkward feeling quickly disappear.

(( I didn't read anything when I joined, I improvised! :'D ))
These fools weren't doing anything. He had wanted to save himself for the finale but that apparently wasn't going to work. Pulling out 10 juggling sticks he promptly set the ends on fire. He begun to juggle dancing all the while inviting the others to throw more items, this would give the opportunity to the others to pretend to perform while the attention was mainly on Pix, also would give time for the old b*****d to be suitably seduced.
Juggling was a bit repetitive however and it gave Pix time to think. Andrea was obviously wondering what had gotten into him, he'd be able to exploit the brutal honesty he has shown thus far, Gregor would hardly be an obstacle.
But now there was this new woman, she had obviously not enjoyed a man's touch for a while.
Choices, choices.
