YarnKittymon: LB: ::is, as usual, out front, yelling; they've drawn quite a crowd today, though, as it's sunny and quite warm::
JopDance: jm: ::is sitting in the back::
CleoDominic: AX: ::Walks up to libby holding a womans arm:: Hello Libby! I want you to meet my cracy cousin, maeve. ::smirks::
SP00KY One: MV: ::waves hand::: Hello
YarnKittymon: LB: Your crazy cousin? Oh my. Er...nice to meet you.
SP00KY One: MV: I prefer the term insane
CleoDominic: AX:: ::just smiles widely:: We have so much in common!::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::walks into the room backstage and sits down near Daniel:: Hi Jasmine, Dan
YarnKittymon: LB: How about mad? It seems appropriate enough for Alex, at any rate.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::lazily puts his head in Becky's lap:: Hi.
CleoDominic: AX: :Mad? Shes always mad, but I haffa say I got the good looks in the family, my aunt had to tie a bone around her neck to have the dog play with her.:
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: Hi Becky.
SP00KY One: MV: :eyes widen in shock, and her isrish temper flares: Why you little weasel! ::throws a fireball at his head::
CleoDominic: AX: ::Blocks with a lighning sheild:: whoa maeve common it was a joke!:
SP00KY One: MV: at least i have sense enough to play with my powers out doors instead of in
CleoDominic: AX: ::Looks at her:: Hyph!:
Quantum Catz: BM: I hope this thing starts soon...it's boring just hanging around
YarnKittymon: : ::the passers-by stare at both of them; a couple clap::
CleoDominic: AX: :Well we better go inside, and show the others...::smiles::
SP00KY One: MV: ::turns around and takes a bow:: Thank you!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just stares at Maeve for a moment, then, quickly, to the crowd:: That's nothing compared to the wonders you'll see inside! Just one thin dime!
YarnKittymon: : ::a couple more people come in::
JopDance: jm: ::tucks in her legs and rests her head on her knees. Her eys are hooded and she smiles lazily:: Oh, I dunno; it's a good way to catch up on you nap.
YarnKittymon: DN: Libby says she wants to do more than one show a day when it's summer.
CleoDominic: AX: Come Maeve, I want you to meet the rest of us...::leads her inside::
SP00KY One: MV: ::follows Alex inside, looks around curiously:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs, believing the building really *is* going to burn down::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::rubs daniels head as she speaks:: At least we'll have more to do then
JopDance: jm: ::opens one eye to look at Daniel:: More than one show? I'll have to get used to that.
YarnKittymon: DN: Well, she says the building's too little and we'll never turn a profit if we don't. ::yawns::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shakes her head:: You two really need to get more sleep at night
CleoDominic: AX: Hey, guys, this is my Mad cousin Maeve. ::whisper:: dont call her ugly.
JopDance: jm: Hmm..well I suppose she's right. She is the brains of this operation.
JopDance: jm: ::chuckles quietly:: It's the sun.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::sits up:: You only look a little mad.
SP00KY One: MV: ::glares at her cousin:: watch it cradle robber
CleoDominic: AX; ::eyes widen:: Well...I...well if you think about it....Stella 23, and Hugo is 28, just one diffenece than me and Michelle.
JopDance: jm: ::stands up and smiles. she's a little puzzled by that last statement, but she ignores it.:: Hello, Maeve.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins:: Hi - where'd you spring up from? Alex never said he had a cousin
SP00KY One: MV: ::smiles:: I just came over from Ireland and I happened to run into him on the street.
CleoDominic: AX: She doesnt look where she is going...
JopDance: jm: Really? Ireland? My father's from there.
SP00KY One: MV: Oh really ! So is mine!
CleoDominic: AX: ::Looks at Maeve.:: Uh huh...
JopDance: jm: ::grins:: He's always going on about how he misses it there.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::comes backstage:: It's nearly time to begin.
CleoDominic: AX: ::looks at Maeve:: He come on with me, I gotta idea for a new act!:
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles:: Finally! Something to do
SP00KY One: MV: ::stares back at Alex:: Should I be scared?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::blinks:: The crowd would be quite pleased, I'm sure...but this building is made of wood.
CleoDominic: AX: Oh thats no problem its metal I'm worried about, then they get shocked!
SP00KY One: MV: ::looks innocent:: Are you implying that I would burn down a building? I have more sense than my cousin over here... who was dropped on his head as a baby
Quantum Catz: BM: What's Maeves power?
CleoDominic: AX: was not!
SP00KY One: MV: was too!
YarnKittymon: LB: I'm *saying,* a small spark could set this place ablaze and kill dozens. That's hardly the type of publicity that would benefit the show.
CleoDominic: AX: A spark! what about a fire ball!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks rather irritated:: I *meant,* a spark *from* a fireball. You always choose the devil you know over the devil you don't know.
JopDance: jm: ::watches conversaton with an amused smile::
CleoDominic: AX: ::smirks:: sorry...but I, what, ummm...metal would be worse...though...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles:: Oh come on, Libby...i think those two on stage would be fun!
SP00KY One: MV: ::smirks:: My fireballs are not sparks. They are balls of flame. Controlled balls of flame
CleoDominic: AX: ::laughs!::
YarnKittymon: LB: Perhaps you're not so familiar with the area, but buildings burn every year. And since this is currently my residence as well, I can't help but be a bit concerned for it.
JopDance: jm: Well, maybe you should give it a test run. To see if it's not too dangerous.
CleoDominic: Ax: ::Hugs Maeve:: I'll keep an eye on her, honest! ::smiles::
Quantum Catz: BM: We could always get some buckets of water just in case ::grins::
SP00KY One: MV: ::is hugged:: And I will be sure to keep an eye on him. Whats family for anyway?
YarnKittymon: LB: Well, much of the crowd may be disappointed if they don't see her act, I guess. This'll be your test run, Maeve. Thank heavens the shower's working, at least. There's a barrel out back for rainwater; we can bring it in and fill it.
JopDance: jm: What about an elephant? Would be good for the show, too.
CleoDominic: AX:Elephant?
YarnKittymon: LB: We've *certainly* not room for an elephant. Alex, help me bring the barrel inside. We'll keep it backstage. Maeve, you'll go on last, with Alex. Alex, make sure you do your wing act as well; the women have come to expect it
CleoDominic: AX: yes ma'am! ::runs to get the barrel::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::has him put it backstage and scrounges up a bucket; uses it to fill the bucket, though it takes a while:: Well, now we have a chance anyway. If everyone's ready, we'll start the show.
CleoDominic: AX: ::nods his head.::
SP00KY One: MV: ::nods head along with alex:: I'm ready
JopDance: jm: ::goes a little pale, but smiles:: I'm ready.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins:: Good luck ::teleports away to the lighting controls::
SP00KY One: MV: ::grins widely:: Ge am I that scarry?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::starts the show; she actually manages to get her little making-stuff-disappear trick work, though the thing never reappears, exactly; then calls out the other acts. When the time comes she introduces the last two as Alex and Mad Maeve::
CleoDominic: AX: No, you seem normal to me, but thats me...
CleoDominic: AX: ::walks on stand holdy Maeve's arm::
SP00KY One: MV: :::is being pulled by Alex, grins widely at crowd, waves hand::: oooh look at the people
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles widely; it's doubtful that even any of her friends can tell it's rather forced::
CleoDominic: AX: yes Maeve there is alot of people today, hello folks, how are you? this is Maeve my ugly cousin, and I'm Alex.
YarnKittymon: : ::the crowd laughs a bit and claps politely; a few girls scream::
SP00KY One: MV: ::glares at Alex::: At least I am not a cradle robber
YarnKittymon: : ::most of the girls look rather disheartened at that statement, though one young one grins at Alex::
CleoDominic: AX: ::looks back at maeve, who is actually very pretty:: Well atleast I'm dating my own speacies...instead of a dog...
YarnKittymon: : ::some of the people laugh, taking it as a show; some others think it's a real argument and are, thus, uncomfortable::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quickly:: Come now; this isn't what the people paid to see!
SP00KY One: MV: :::smiles a fake smile:: Well, at least my IQ iss higher than yours! ::throws a fireball at him::
CleoDominic: AX::blocks with lightning, catching it in the middle of the two, it stands in place::
CleoDominic: ((so the fire ball is floating with the lightning..))
CleoDominic: ::it fades after a few minutes::
CleoDominic: AX: You call that a shot, my grandma has better aim than you!
SP00KY One: MV: :::throws two fireballs at him, one aiming low and the other heading right for his big mouth:::
SP00KY One: MV: ::shouts:: There! Catch that!
CleoDominic: AX: ::Quickly catches the two right before hitting him:: Okay okay, I give! your not the uglyest thing...
CleoDominic: AX: just close to it...
CleoDominic: ((then they have I Q's back then?))
YarnKittymon: ((That's what I was looking up. I don't know if it'd be called "IQ" but they had "intelligence tests."))
YarnKittymon: : ::the crowd watches, quite engaged, occasionally spontaneously clapping::
SP00KY One: MV: ::smiles sweetly:: And even though its true, I'm sorry for calling you a cradle robber
CleoDominic: AX:Well I guess alls for given then.::Hugs Maeve:: ::then smirks taking out his wings::
YarnKittymon: : ::the girls all cheer, and the men look impressed--at least, those who didn't bring a girlfriend; those types are more irritated or jealous::
SP00KY One: MV: :::smirks evilly, lights wings on fire::
YarnKittymon: : ::even Libby is horrified, to say nothing of the crowd::
SP00KY One: MV: oops
CleoDominic: AX: ::eyes widen:: why was that for! Owwwy!::runs around the stage::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::rushes back and fills a bucket of water; tosses it on Alex--feathers are quite flammable, so it's rather dangerous at the moment::
SP00KY One: MV: ::rolls over laughing::
CleoDominic: AX: ::folds them back in, and all you can see is black smokr from his back.::
JopDance: jm: ::gasps and covers her eyes::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts some more water on Alex's back:: Are you all right?
SP00KY One: MV: ::is still laughing::
CleoDominic: AX: Darn Maeve! What was that for, trying to kill me! ::looks at Libby, he looks really mad:: Yes I think i will live...ouchy!
YarnKittymon: : ::one of the men in the audience calls Maeve a rather dirty name::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::half wonders if Maeve really is clinically insane::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods; rather calmly goes backstage and gets another bucket of water; throws its contents at Maeve::
SP00KY One: MV: ::glares at the guy, a fireball starts to form in hand:::
SP00KY One: MV: ::screams:: HHHHAAAAAAA
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks innocent::: I didnt do it!!!
CleoDominic: AX: Maeve, calm down, we don't attack the audience! ::grabs her, and pulls her off stage!::
SP00KY One: MV: :::is being pulled off stage:: I wasnt going to attack him...I was just going to scare him a little
SP00KY One: MV: He shouldnt be talking like that anyway, someone has to teach him a lesson
YarnKittymon: LB: ::calls for applause; those who assumed it was all an act are quite pleased, but some of them think Maeve really *is* mad, and seem less amused::
JopDance: jm: ::frowns as they come backstage:: Are you all right Alex?
CleoDominic: AX: Rubs his back:: Yeah, the firs goes out when I put them back in, but I get heart burn....ouch..
SP00KY One: MV: ::looks at Alex and grins:: sissy
YarnKittymon: LB: ::doesn't come backstage until the crowd has dispersed; most of them leave rather quickly, not wanting to be set ablaze themselves::
CleoDominic: AX: ::looks at her and grabs her houlding her upside down::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::is rather hiding in a corner::
JopDance: jm: ::growls in impatience:: What's the matter with you? You could have killed him?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::comes back to see Alex; quietly:: Alex, put her down.
SP00KY One: MV: :::haning up side down, grabbing for Alex::; PUT ME DOWN!!!
CleoDominic: AX: ::droups her:: Yes?
SP00KY One: MV: ::hits the floor::: ouch...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::teleports back into the room and goes over to Daniel instead of getting involved::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::to Maeve:: That was...*unacceptable.* Please leave.
CleoDominic: AX: wait, don't make her leave it was an accident...Libby please...
SP00KY One: MV: ::looks at Libby and smirks::: My you all have no sense of humor
CleoDominic: AX: it really didn't hurt....she just thought I'll being able to catch that too....
YarnKittymon: LB: It's too dangerous. Mr. McHenry might build us a new building if this one burned, but there's no way he could restore Alex from the dead.
SP00KY One: MV: ::glares at Libby:: Do you honestly think I would kill my own cousin?
JopDance: jm: ::stands apart to try to get her temper under control::
CleoDominic: AX: No, its okay, it was just my wings...I wounder what damage was done to tthem...
YarnKittymon: LB: He was on *fire!*
CleoDominic: AX: ::folds them out, they look brand new:: hey evertime I fould them in they repair themselfs!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::eyes narrowed:: No matter. If you'd do that much to your *cousin,* I shudder to think what you'd do to an audience member who annoyed you.
CleoDominic: AX: hey their fine, lets let it go....okay?
SP00KY One: MV: :::lifts her hands:: I don't kill people...I teach them a lesson, and for the most part everyone comes out alive
Quantum Catz: BM: ::kneels down and strokes Daniel's head; under her breath:: I hate people who go overboard with their powers like that
YarnKittymon: LB: ::after a moment:: You and Maeve may go start your own show elsewhere if you want her around so badly. And it would likely be better than my show here. But I can't have such a loose cannon. I need to feel safe here.
CleoDominic: AX: ::looks sad:: I'm sorry...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::ears back:: Is she really crazy?
CleoDominic: AX: It was funny, me running across the stage with fire, and I wasn't even hurt!
SP00KY One: MV: ::crosses her arms and watches Alez try to talk his way out of this::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shrugs:: Who knows? She might just be drunk on power
SP00KY One: MV: I am never drunk
JopDance: jm: For the most part..? ::there's a roar that shakes the rafters and Jasmine's consumed in a flash of light. When it's gone she's her Freakshow self. Her eyes flash angrily. Takes a leap at Maeve::
CleoDominic: AX: ::grabs at Jasmine::
SP00KY One: MV: :::eyes widen, screams and runs:::
SP00KY One: MV: Now that is when they dont come out alive, when they try to kill me!!!
SP00KY One: MV: or any innocent by standers...
YarnKittymon: LB: Jasmine! Maeve! Stop!
CleoDominic: AX: ::Yells at the top of his lungs:: Wait hold on! ::grabs one more time at Jasmine::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::whimpers, and flees the room::
Quantum Catz: BM: Dan!
SP00KY One: MV: Hey, I am not looking for a fight here.... ::cowers:::
JopDance: jm: ::tugs free from Alex and overruns Maeve in a few seconds. Her claws stretched out::
SP00KY One: MV: :::screams, panics, and then rises above floor:::
SP00KY One: MV: ::sees herself floating and screams some more::: GET ME DOWN!!!
CleoDominic: AX:::shots a lightning bolt infront of Jasmine, proballyshocking her::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::glares at the others:: Can't you all just stop this? You've already scared Dan out of the room!
CleoDominic: AX: ::stands still looking around, woundering if Jasmine stopped by the lightning::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stands next to the water barrel, gripping the handle of the bucket tightly::
JopDance: jm: ::is surprised by the lightning, but not stunned; it does bring her out of her spell, however. Looks surprised to see Maeve flying::
CleoDominic: AX: ::runs up and hugs jasmine:: Jasmine, shhhh....its okay now...
SP00KY One: MV: :::all of the sudden she lands on the ground with a thud:: ouch...i cause more damage to myself than anyone else....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::drily:: You're not on fire.
JopDance: jm: ::harshly pushes Alex off. Mumbles:: I need to go for a walk. ::changes back and stalks out of the door.::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just looks at Maeve and Alex, dazed::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::frowns at Maeve and Alex:: I'm going to go find Dan ::teleports away::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::is in the main room, hiding under the seats::
CleoDominic: AX: ::sits down looking ashamed.::
SP00KY One: MV: ::looks up at Alex:: And just think, my twin wasnt even here....
CleoDominic: AX: Now i'm scared....she has a twin sister...
SP00KY One: MV: you should have already know that cousin
Quantum Catz: BM: ::appears near Daniel's hiding place and kneels down next to him:: Hey, it's okay, they've stopped fighting now
YarnKittymon: LB: ::just looks down; after a moment:: Is everyone all right?
CleoDominic: AX: I feel like I'm going to puke...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::still looks almost wild with fear:: I thought we were all gonna die.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::strokes Daniel's fur; smiles comfortingly:: Hey, i wouldn't let anyone hurt you
YarnKittymon: DN: ::eyes widen, then close; purrs rather heavily:: Really?
YarnKittymon: LB: Maeve?
SP00KY One: MV: Yes
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins:: Course not. We're friends, aren't we? Friends always look out for each other
YarnKittymon: DN: ::licks her hand a couple times, still purring::
YarnKittymon: LB: Are you all right?
SP00KY One: MV: ::looks at Libby a little confused:: Yeah...ummm...I think so
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods:: I'm sorry, but I think you see why you can't be here, even if your act is remarkable...
CleoDominic: AX: ::sighs:: Well can't she still watch?
SP00KY One: MV: :::smiles:: No, thats okay Alex, I know when I am not wanted. Which is usually why i just stick with my twin
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles slightly, remembering how she used to hate cats before she met Daniel:: Are you feeling better now?
CleoDominic: AX: But I mean, can't we just pratice our skit to make it safer? we can do that, right Libby?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::nods:: But that scary lady's still there, huh?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: We could have all been killed, Alex...
SP00KY One: MV: :::is just a bit miffed:::
Quantum Catz: BM: Libby won't let her stay if she's not safe
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs:: And then she'll get mad at Libby and burn everything.
SP00KY One: MV: Oh yeah, I am going to burn down a building that I am standing in myself...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks more than a bit miffed at Maeve:: If things had gone just a little differently, Alex would have been shedding flaming feathers onto the audience! Perhaps that wouldn't burn down the whole building, but people would have been hurt!
SP00KY One: MV: oh that would be ingenius! More like something Alex will pull
CleoDominic: AX: But she didn't hurt or kill or burn anything! Remeber when you met me, you thought I would burn it down...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::to Maeve, sharply:: Alex may be dangerous, but at least he has a good heart underneath. I'm not sure you have *that* much.
SP00KY One: MV: ::puts a hand on Alex's arm:: It's okay Alex, they dont like me, its not the first time.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::a bit uncertainly:: I don't think she'll go that far
CleoDominic: AX: but she does, shes very loving...
SP00KY One: MV: ::glares at Libby:: I fight evil thank you very much! Or at least I use to in Ireland
YarnKittymon: LB: ::pauses, then laughs a bit:: Oh? Then go! Fight evil!
CleoDominic: AX: your being mean now Libby! She how much you love anything...
SP00KY One: MV: :::sighs:: Which is more than you have ever done.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::after a rather long pause:: Alex...are you going to be a gentleman?
CleoDominic: AX: Hell no...::crosses his arms::
SP00KY One: MV: :::giggles:: yeah right...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: Then there's no way Maeve can stay. You'll simply quarrel all the time, and someday I won't be handy enough with the bucket.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::finally:: We're close to the door, anyway. ::pauses:: Once there was a fire at the circus...I was too scared to run away...
CleoDominic: AX: Okay okay, I'll be a gentelman...I can do really..I can...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::concerned:: Were you hurt?
SP00KY One: MV: :::raises her right hand:: I, Maeve, solemly swear to control her temper and to not catch anything on fire.
YarnKittymon: DN: No...I dunno what happened. I fell asleep and woke up and everything was okay. It wasn't a dream though; three of the horses and all the elephants got all burned up.
CleoDominic: AX: yeah ditto! and be a gentelmen.
YarnKittymon: LB: Then I'll give you one more chance. But if this happens again, I'll throw you out, and the bucket with you.
SP00KY One: MV: ::smiles:: okay, but I have to run now, Dermit is probably hungry...
CleoDominic: AX: stupid bird thingy...
SP00KY One: MV: He is not stupid, he can do more than your last dog could.
Quantum Catz: BM: Someone probably made sure you didn't get hurt. Which is what *I'll* do if there's ever a fire *here*
CleoDominic: AX: what chase its talk n bark? yeah...
SP00KY One:MV: :::waves hand::: Well, I will see you all next time then.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::nuzzles Becky, speaking like a child:: I love you, Becky.
CleoDominic: AX: bye cuz, see you later.
YarnKittymon: LB: Next Saturday, bright and early. We'll likely start Sundays next week as well, after church, of course.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins and hugs Daniel:: I love you too
SP00KY One: MV: Bye
YarnKittymon: DN: ::bristles a bit at Maeve until she's gone::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::goes out and sits on the stage, sighing massively::
CleoDominic: AX: ::sighs:: Well that was my cousin, told you she was crazy, just like me.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: She makes me appreciate your relative sanity, Alex.
CleoDominic: AX: Man, and I was suppose to be the insane one that nots fair...::smiles:: Its okay once you get to know her a bit better thoough.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::stands up and looks at Libby and Alex:: Is she coming back then?
CleoDominic: AX: ::nods::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks down:: I'm sorry...but if we've only half our acts showing regularly...and if she behaves, her act will be splendid. I know that's a big "if," though.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs unhappily::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looking angry:: She'd better not scare Dan again
YarnKittymon: LB: If she tries anything like that again I'll throw her out myself. ::pauses:: Though I'll be sure to wrap a damp towel around my hand so I don't get burned.
CleoDominic: AX: she wont do that unless you try to kill her...::mummbles::
YarnKittymon: LB: Well, if she tries to kill one of my acts, I have no recourse!
YarnKittymon: LB: Never mind that, though. I apologize in advance for anything she may say or do.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs again::
CleoDominic: AX; I'll take the respondsabilty, she is my cousin afterall...carrdle robber...can't believe she said that...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smirks:: I guess she knows you pretty well, then.
CleoDominic: AX: is it that wrong to go out witha thirtteen year old?
YarnKittymon: LB: Not if you're a sixteen-year-old. But it's your choice. I've heard of worse, though the man involved is usually both wealthy and old...
CleoDominic: AX:Well I'm 19, and have a ten dollar bill in my pocket does that count?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles slightly:: I'm afraid not. Although her maturity level matches yours fairly well, I've heard.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles::
CleoDominic: AX: Hey guys, I"m going to check up on Maeve, see ya around. ::waves::
