This is where you can practice your stunts and routines. It looks identical to the real arena, so you won't have to worry about differences in the ropes or props.
The short spunky girl ran into the ring twirling around in awe. It hadn't been her first time being in the ring, which explained why her swords would be in there. She looks around eagerly and finds a stool that spins. It was good enough for her. Grabbing the bag she grins and takes them all out easily. Putting the stool in the middle of the ring she nods approvingly. Suzzie stretches, something she did before any performance. Pulling her leg above her head as if it was nothing. She then reaches down touching the floor with her hand. A giggle as she does the same with the other hand, lifting herself off the floor, her legs spreading oddly to where her feet were now also touching the floor. Moving slowly back to a standing postion Suzzie bends backwards, inching her way to between her legs. After she did that she stood up normally and crawled ontop of the stool. "I really hope sword swallowing doesn't freak you out. I've seen some guys pass out over it.. Don't really know why." Suzzie grins and picks up a few different swords, all of them varying in size. Keeping three in her hand she makes the stool spin while going on point like a ballerina would with one foot. Her other leg twisting around the back of her slightly. Tilting her head back she slides a curved sword down her throat slowly. The sight was an interesting one.
Occ; That's really cool! I thought the pictures looked familiar.
ooc: yeah, Kakashi is my first favorite of the show. This is one of my drawings of him.
Vincent sits down on a stool he pulled up in front of her before shaking his head with a chuckle, knowing that he wouldn't pass out since he has seen the trick done before many times. When she began to swallow the sword, he watched in awe, having not seen it up that close before. It reminded him of how excited to be in an actual troupe he was.
Pulling the sword out slightly another went down her throat, pushing on the stool, making her spin faster again. Going off point Suzzie lent backwards, swords still in mouth. Grabbing onto the edge of either side of the stool she lifted herself and then balanced with one hand tilting her head back, pulling them out slowly. Her legs bent awkwardly, feet once again touching the seat part of the stool - sliding them down slowly she sat down releasing the part of the seat she was gripping. The spinning slowly came to a stop, her legs crossed elegantly, an arm resting on the top leg, in her hand were the swords and her head. A vibrant smile on her face as she slowly sat up straight before hopping off the stool, taking a bow. "Enjoy the show?" Suzzie-Maes smile widens as she stands up straight once more. She needed to practice it countless times but that could wait.. For now..
ooc: Thanks whee I have an entire of binder of drawings I have drawn for the series. It was the first anime I drew from so I have a bunch. Oh! If you have any requests or know anyone who might just let me know. I don't charge anyone I draw for on gaia so...
Vincent watched in awe still as she continued her trick, clapping when she took a bow. He was truly amazed.."Yes! You're amazing, to add the two tricks together is brilliant! How long have you been a contortionist and sword swallower?"
Hearing his words was a boost to her ego. She blushed slightly and played with her horns awkwardly. "Basically.. My entire life. My parents are both in a circus. What do you do?" Suzzie messed with them more, surprised he hadn't commented on them yet. It was usually the first thing people asked about.
Occ: I will keep that in mind and tell my friends about you! Do you just do alterations of anime characters or do you freestyle also? Like.. Gaia avatar art?
ooc: I do freestyle too. I have been asked to do pairings like Sebastian from Black Butler paired with Stein from Soul Eater and a pairing of Gaia's Louie with Yugioh's Bakura. I also do drawings of rp characters but I have only done a couple from my rps with Awesome Nerd.
Vincent listened to her as she explained, nodding in understanding before he gave a slight shrug."Oh I am just a concessionaire and an acrobat."
Suzzie-Mae tilted her head to the side more. It looked unnatural, the angle of her head. She leans in looking at his teeth slightly. He had nice straight teeth. "Do you get to see the shows a lot because of concession? I imagine it gets pretty hectic." Suzzie let go of her horns but kept her head tilted in the awkward position.
Walking back to the chair she drags it over to Vincent sitting infront of him. Tapping her chin awkwardly her eyes narrow. "My mother a juggler. My father a two headed man.. My mom wanted me to become a juggler like her while my dad wanted me to be apart of the freak show because of my horns. I was always flexiable but I liked the thought of sword swallowing." Suzzie nodded happily. She had chosen her own path, not following in either of her parents footsteps. They were both upset about it but they were happy she was happy..
Vincent nods with a smile as he crossed his arms. He had noticed the horns before and thought they were pretty cool but decided not to comment on them in case it was a sensitive subject for her."So you went your own way? Good for you."Vincent himself had done the same as well.
Humming softly she kicks her legs in a childish way. She nodded and looked around awkwardly. To any sociable person it would be clear she's not used to actually talking to people, just performing for them. An odd noise suddenly came from the girl as she stuck her head towards him. "Wanna touch em? Everyone wants to touch em. They're odd, people usually take pictures." Suzzie didn't seem to have a problem with her horns. She embraced her weirdness and made it one of her strengths instead of weakness.
Vincent reaches out his hand before gently touching them with a smile, his hand dropping after. He was lucky of the two since he was able to keep what he was hidden to refrain from being picked on, she couldn't."They feel like horns of an animal's, just stronger."
Suzzie laughed, then laughed some more, only to end up falling off the stool. Her eyes narrowed as her face paled greatly, she swallowed hard, slowly standing up. Taking a deep breath the young contortionist looked to her right leg, one of the smaller swords lodged in her thigh. "Oh dear.. This happens more than you'd think really.." Suzzie frowns, it looking like she was talking to her leg. Grabbing the strap of her garter belt she unhooked the stocking and slowly slid out the sword then pulled down the stocking to inspect the bloody damage done.
Vincent suddenly fell back onto the floor before quickly backing up with wide eyes that stared at the blood coming from the wound. The starving vampire quickly covers his nose as he squeezed his eyes shut."Please...s-stop the bleeding..."
