Welcome to Gaia! ::

To the east and below the freak tent is the animal tent. A medium sized yellow canvas with a green flag gives it a welcoming look. The entrance is open from dawn till dusk unless stated otherwise.

Inside there are many, many cages that line the sides, each having a three foot perimeter around it to keep people from getting too close. In this tent you’ll find the regular animals such as lions, panthers, tigers, monkeys, giraffes, colorful fish in tanks, camels, horses, zebras etc.. If there is a caretaker around, they may permit you to get a closer encounter with the more tame animals.

This area is open to all, but do not stick anything into the cages and follow the rules and caretakers.

"MUM! MUM, IN HERE!"

"Malachi...MALACHI!" Skelly yelled as he was whipped around by the squirrel mishap. This damned circus making people so freakin' happy...

"Alright, alright!" Rabid laughed and nodded her head, "Go on. We'll meet you in there."

Ike gave an excited yelp and scampered inside hte animal tent, immediately running to a fish tank and peering at the colourful creatures within.

"Ooooh~"

Björn was taking a day off from his recent emo-state, it seemed, as he was smiling around the unlit cigarette between his lips. There had always been something about circuses that brought out the kid in him...

...and he had only a vague idea as to why.

"Where are we going?" Liam huffed, walking as fast as his weak leg and cane would allow him, "Ah, frig. Animals? Just what I want to be around me when I can't see 'em."

"Aw, Jesus, Faar," Björn snorted, "Cheer up, will you? Your girlfriend'll be here soon enough.

Liam mumbled something and followed after Rabid, who he couldn't "see", perse, but "feel".

"Girlfriend, eh? Wow, I have been out of the loop, haven't I?" Joe stated with a smirk on his face. He leaned over closer in Liam's direction, close to his ear and said, "What lucky vixen snagged you?" He chuckled to himself and repositioned his glasses.

"Osso! GOD-Mmpphh!"

"" scolded Ariane as she shoved her hand over Azumi's mouth.

The blonde Noir stuck her tongue out, which caused a squeaky yelp to come from her mother and hand was quickly moved.

"A leetle old, aren't we? Do be doing that-NOW YOU HAVE THE LEETLE ONE DOING IT!" Cried the silver blue haired Noir.

Azumi looked down at the cheetah child in the other woman's arms and almost snorted with laughter. she watched Kanti start moving her head back and forth, tongue seeming to be permanently out and dragging over the Ariane's arm in hopes of freedom.

Osso paid no mind to the three who were now behind him as he raced towards some random tent. The blonde, skeleton marked child skidded and made some crack-headed turn into the tent flaps before colliding with someone.

"Oompf!"

"Oh ho ho, I can't wait to meet her~" he remarked in a girlish tone. He turned to Rabid, "Appreciate the invite, I haven't gotten out in a while." He reached down into his pocket and grabbed a grape lollipop, proceeding to to shove it in his mouth without even removing the wrapping. He coughed for a moment. "Ugh, that part never tastes good."

"No problem," Rabid smiled and patted Joe on the back, "Smart one, aren't we, dear?" She gave an odd cackle and watched her son carefully.

"You give him one'uh those, he'll be your friend for life."

"As long as you don't have a problem with it," He said, whipping out 4 lollipops, one held between each finger. He whistled to grab Ike's attention for a moment and leaned over a bit. "Take your pick!" he said with a friendly smile. He leaned forward a little more and whispered in Ike's ear, "Might be nice if you share them too." He chuckled.

(( xD Ahh, you guys posts so fast. ))

Osso nodded before getting back onto his feet again, "yes, thank you." He was about to say something else...except he now could hear the rather loud, foreign words of both his guardian and Nana just several feet away and thaaatt wasn't exactly a good thing at the moment.

Giving a quick head bow to the man, Osso went on to skirt around the other adults and head further into the tent and away from a potentially mad Azumi. Spotting another Mishap, and a rather fuzzy one at that, around, Osso felt a bit safer considering Azumi wouldn't yell at him in the presence of another child. Save for her own that is


Meanwhile, Azumi and Ariane were just about to set foot inside the tent when both turned in unison to watch the screaming woman on the ground. Brows rose, and even Kanti stopped her arm licking to c**k head head at the coloful...person.
