[b][u]Phillis Circus: Animal Cages[/u][/b] “Okay, um… HELP! We’re gonna get eaten here!” Lute’s shrill pitched yelp escaped into the air. Just in front of him, a glimmer twinkled in Moira’s eye. "I wrestle bears for a [i]hobby.[/i]” She hissed. A slight smirk crept up her lips at the thought of the challenge ahead. "Bring it. Nobody's touchin' my mate on my watch." "An animal tamer would REALLY be appreciated right now!!!" Lute utilised the abilities of his and his familiar Delilah to amplify his shout as loud as he possibly could, hoping against hope that his desperate plea could reach the ears of someone who could help. Xandra, from behind the perimeter of the encircled animals also turned her head sharply from side to side, whilst keeping a wary eye on the dangerous beasts. A part of her wanted to jump into the fray as well, to protect Lute just like Moira and Syed did… whilst another part kept her back. A part that made her feet remained rooted to the ground. She told herself it was to protect the civilian, Eric, but… that wasn’t simply it, was it?

A flurry of limbs, paws, fur and teeth launched forwards at all angles in unison. Bears, pandas, rhinos, gorillas, giraffes, lions, elephants, panthers and more… moving at a speed far too quick to avoid or resist. One on one, Moira might have stood a chance at knocking back and keeping at bay. But all at once…! A loud crash echoed again throughout the circus. Locked with horrified grimaces, Xandra and Eric stared in dismay at the carnage that laid before them, and the savagely torn and shredded bodies of their three companions and the grisly fate that had overtook them… As each of the animals about them, pinning them to the ground, affectionately licked their hands and faces. “St-ha, ha- stop- ha! HA! HAHA! Stop that, you shits! Hahaha!” Moira’s body wobbled to and fro as the lion and bears pinned her to the ground and tickled her most sensitive areas with their tongues. Lute and Syed too were completely trapped and left helpless, reduced to a giggling fit by the assortment of animals atop them. The sparks that accidentally shot off from Syed’s body didn’t faze the rhino’s tough hide whatsoever. “What… what are they doing?” Eric asked, his eyes blinking in disbelief as he towered over Xandra’s shoulder. And then both of them were shocked by the sound of a big, burly voice in a foreign accent belonging to a large, muscular man towering over both their shoulders.

Aren’t they all so precious?” Abram laughed jovially, patting both Eric and Xandra’s shoulders in a mighty slap that could only be defined as a little too friendly. “Ah… ow…” Eric winced in pain. “GREETINGS, LITTLE FRIENDS, AND WELCOME TO BIG, MIGHTY FUN CIRCUS!” Abram laughed, his moustache bristling and his mighty pecs rippling. “These be all Abram’s children, and they look happy to see you! Don’t be scared! They no bite!”
