Phillus Circus-Big TopAs her hand moved frantically in sawing at the rope, her mind was focused on the fight happening above between her image and Isabella. Luckily the woman didn't seem to have caught onto her power yet, and Aria tried her hardest to keep it that way she she made the image dodge once again before swiping back.
Her fan had almost nearly cut through the rope by now, but as Isabella attacked once again she could only have her image fall, screaming and landing with a sickening thud on the ground below. She winced- it was always hard getting used to seeing one's own body laying there lifeless. Even Isabella herself seemed rather shocked, triumph mixed with guilt as she looked down from the slackened tightrope to the fake body. It was rather surprising to see after the relentless assault of attacks the acrobat had made on Aria before.
With just a short moment before she could cut through the rope, Isabella finally noticed that something was amiss. She leapt up, and just as her feet landed on the platform the rope snapped, and with it the illusion of the body wisped away. Aria hung on tight with her good hand as she fell momentarily before the rope snapped tight and she swung down towards the ground. For a brief moment she thought that she was going to have to crash into the stands or an errant pole to stop, until she spotted a safe landing place that promised to hurt a lot less than the other two options.
She let go of the rope, giving a small screech as she fell before her feet firmly planted themselves into the soft belly of the prone panda still dazed underneath the pole. It gave a loud pained grunt but it's belly fat seemed to absorb most of the shock as the rest of her body followed suit, dropping onto the bear with a muffle
fwump before she bounced off onto her butt.
A quick look around showed that only Estelle, Crispy one of the magician girls and Abram were still in the tent. It looked like they were in a lot of trouble- she cringed as Abram lifted up yet another impossibly huge object to throw at the two Guilders. Perhaps she should've stayed on the rope? Speaking of the rope, Aria quickly whipped around to make sure that Isabella wasn't trying to rain throwing knives down at her while she was distracted. Hopefully her cutting of the rope would make the acrobat come down to fight instead, getting rid of the advantage the woman had while they were in the air.
