Welcome to Gaia! ::

((So so sorry for being gone! Its been so chaotic at home with the holidays and such! gonk ))

Zack nodded weakly, "Sure, sure whatever you say." He muttered. Its not like he had a choice, he'd be torn apart either way. "I guess it doesn't really matter. Either way I'm going to be torn apart." He shrugged, "Just don't complain if you get a headache from my screaming."
Lily looked up at Scott as he entered her little fortune tent. "hello." She said back in a soft voice. Her hands rested delicately on the arms of her chair. "Please. Feel free to take a seat." She said, motioning to the chair across from her with one hand.

Zack blinked, the half hug felt a little odd to him. He shrugged, "Well better for you then."

"Well if everyone's ready..?" Zack looked around at the group slowly. The performance tent seemed to be almost filled up with an audience in the stands. "A few minutes maybe?"

Anastasia stood up, dusting her black attire off from the dirt and dust on the floor. She grit her teeth as she did so, seeing how close Amelia was getting to Zack. Grabbing Fera's and Del's leashes, she glanced at the crowd. The show should begin in minutes.
"Well then, I'll go and fetch some of the stuff needed for my part," she shot Amelia a fierce glare, then looked at Zack with a smile, "I'll leave you two alone now."
With that, she was about to leave, but Neru suddenly showed up, carrying some sort of rope that was coiled in his hand.
"You'll need this, animal tamer."
His voice was stern and serious. Not in a mean way, but you could tell he was having one of his...'days'. Anastasia gave him a sly smile and took the thing from his hand, now realizing that it was a whip. It was all black, except for the popper, whick was a bleached white. The stock, or handle, was encrusted with blood-red and navy-blue stones that shimmered when the spotlight hit them. Ana recognized it. She'd used this one before. The popper was white so the crowd could see if blood was really drawn when it hit the animal. Ana smirked at Neru, who narrowed his eyes in response.
"The performance will begin shortly. Don't dissappoint the Ringmaster, Ana. The same goes for you beasts and the rest of you...Ethan, I'm sure you'll be able to control these kids. I'm needed elsewhere."
He left without waiting for anyone's response. Fera snickered and Del rolled his eyes. What a guy.

Anastasia was about to answer his question, but Adelphos stood up and interrupted.
"Whenever the Ringmaster gives us the cue, right?"
The chimera sighed, watching the crowds as his tail looked around, eager to perform, as it seemed. Ana nodded in agreement. Usually the Ringmaster would introduce them before a show, so they would probably have to wait. Fera began shifting her paws uneasily. She was hungry and anxious to perform. Usually, she was caged and forced to starve, but today of all days, she agreed to do whatever needed in the show. So now, she was actually a bit nervous and confused about performing. Ana stroked her fur again, reassuring her that everything was fine.

"Neru already has."
Fera muttered. Del looked at her for a moment, then figured out what she did.
"You read his mind, didn't you?"
"Yep. Just as he left."
"That is so like you..."
Del rolled his eyes and sighed, only to make Ana and Fera snicker. It was a matter of seconds now before the Ringmaster would introduce the group, and the beasts couldn't wait.

[[Sorry, I just had to put this in. ^ ^;; I think it's cuz I've been listening to this. Lol.]]

Before any of the 'main' performers waltzed their way into the ring, Fera and Adelphos stormed through the curtains, yanking and jerking on their long chain leashes. Anastasia bowed respectfully, a sly, ominous smirk smeared on her porcelain face. As she bowed, she released the chains, letting the beasts run freely. They snarled, growled, and snapped viciously at the crowds as they patrolled the walls of the center ring. With a flap of his mighty wings, Del rose into the air, flying high up only to dive down at random spectators. He breathed fire as he neared the crowds, lighting up their shrieking faces in the shadows. Fera sprinted around the ring like an insane beast, jumping up and snapping her deadly jaws at the circus visitors. This was a common technique in all performances. The trio was simply rowdying up the audience for the main act. Anastasia walked towards the Ringmaster, though made sure to keep her distance. She uncoiled the whip began, obviously, whipping it in the air. Though the cracking sound was loud enough for all to hear, the beasts did not respond, causing more panic in the crowds. But be assured that this was part of the plan. The monsters would refuse to listen until the main performers appeared. Until then, they made sure to keep the audience's adrenaline pumping.

(It is an awesome song Music video is cool too)

Ethan sighed at the girl as she let the beasts go. He shoke his head as he heard the whip. "Well some one is I need of medicine this morning." He walked over to the flaps to the center ring. "Come on Amelia. We have a show to do." He said a cruel smirk spreading across his face.

Scotts Eyes adjusted as he sat down.He blinked afew times then looked at the girl across the table. She was......Beautiful. He coughed and blushed into his handed. "Im Scott." He said extending his hand across the table to her.
