The Circus At The End Of The World (Engel X The Kraken)

Claire snorted. “I can stay clean for days if I wanted too, alas my sweet kittens would miss me then.” She finished eating the apple and threw it away. “Well, I am queen of the kings of animals.” She pouted when Kate laughed at her, brushing some hay out of her hair. “More than anyone else could claim.” “Yeah, Yeah. I can handle Elena. She’s just another lioness, albeit of a more terrifying kind.” Claire laughed. It was too true a description regarding the circus director. She waved farewell to Kate as well when they parted ways. Her first stop was to clean herself up in one of the baths. As she wasn’t particularly fond of water she didn’t spend long doing that, and returned to her own wagon to find that someone had been inside it. She hoped they’d just come looking for her and not gone snooping through her belongings. Either way, she changed into a different set of clothes. They were torn here and there, because it seemed more realistic if her kittens did scratch or roar at her while she did her lion taming act. No one wanted to watch a bunch of big cats lying still, enjoying being petted and purring loudly. It wasn’t what they paid for. She picked up one of her whips as well, and then headed back towards the cages of the big cats. On the way there she made sure to pass by Elena’s wagon, since she wanted to check if she was in her wagon or walking around keeping an eye on everyone. Claire heard chanting coming from inside the wagon, not a rare occurrence, but usually it was in a language she could recognize as a language. It didn’t sound like Russian or English. It sounded like she was speaking in tongues. Claire raised an eyebrow, but kept walking, confident in the fact that Elena wouldn’t be coming to check up on her anytime soon. Claire released a couple of her kittens that were already awake. The panther and a lion to be more specific. The panther walked out of its cage with its head turned upwards, acting like a true prima donna. Claire petted her on the back, and got a glare in return. “Oh shush, Sheila.” The lion acted more like he was glad to see her, putting his paws around her neck and purring. “Good morning, Scar, lovely day.” She spent a couple of hours going through their routine, changing which one of her feline partners she trained with every now and then to make sure no one was going to try to act more wild or playful than usual that day. Sheila was the only one with an attitude on her, but she was always like that and still performed with the most grace during training and show. Claire only had to use her whip once, and even then she hit the ground to make two of the tigers stop play fighting and pay attention. The sound of the whip alone was usually enough to control any one of them. She hated when she had to actually use it, so it had happened that situations had gotten out of control before she went that far. Once her stomach began to complain, Claire decided it was time to take a break. The animal caretakers would come and feed each of her partners, but she had to find food herself. She headed over to where Kate would be practicing and found her alone. “Oh, did your manly assistant not want to eat dinner with you?” Claire teased. “I guess only the wild cats dare approach someone as sharp as you. How about eating something, or would you rather get another hug?”

Best way to make it natural this early is if she's had a crush on her for a while that she's hidden, for fear of something, could be a number of reasons. ;P

So this is a preference I'd have, maybe it's early to do it yet, but anyway. I was wondering if your character could be the instigator of any romance in this RP, since I feel like I'm doing that in the other one and it'd be more fun for me at least if I didn't in this one. Thoughts?

Posted. I can edit it, like usual, maybe I should stop saying that. ;P I'll try to post in the other one tomorrow, busy like I said.

Sacred World (Engel x The Kraken)

What team b had found seemed like taken out of a nightmare, and Ryuu was cautious about approaching as close as they had at first, but then he noticed how the thing was creeping closer to the waterbender. He jumped in, burned the black tar till it retreated and patted the waterbender on the back. “Careful there, mate. I think we better re…” He didn’t get a chance to voice his suggestion before Avani shouted. “Goo fight, Kasai!!” She’d picked up some of the black stuff without a second thought, figuring it was too weak to do any harm to her, and was about to smack it on the Sergeant’s back. However, Kasai did turn before she managed to do it, resulting in Avani’s hand ending up in the middle of her bosom instead. Avani’s playful grin turned to embarrassment, blushing and soon horror when she realized her hand was quite stuck in the goo on Kasai’s chest. She pulled it away by applying a lot of force, but a ripping sound was heard as she did so. She’d managed to remove her hand and the goo from Kasai, but part of the sergeant’s uniform had come with it. “I really hope you were wearing something underneath that coat…” She whispered, flustered, while feeling her cheeks burned hotter than ever. Avani didn’t dare look herself to see if she had been, but who wouldn’t wear a shirt or something below their coat!? She didn’t get a chance to sink into the ground and disappear out of sight, which she wished to do, as the goo was now crawling up her arm and trying to engulf the whole limb. Avani tried her best to remove it, but nothing worked and in the end she had to punch her arm deep into the earth, using her bending to tear the goo off of her. Her arm came up scarred, wounded and bleeding, but the black goo was removed. She cried out and stepped away, pulling off her own coat to use it to stop the bleeding. Mio opened her bag and was about to take out the bandages that had been in the crate, but that was the moment the rest of the black tar entity decided to attack them all in unison. It shot out long tentacles at them and spurted goo as if it was using it as a projectile weapon. Mio’s clothes were stained as she had been unprepared to defend herself. Ryuu did manage to avoid the goo and fight back, but it was clear that he would only be able to defend himself. This monster was beyond anything he’d even seen before. He had no idea how to counter it, fire seemed to work for a short moment and then it attacked with even more tenacity shortly after. Avani’s arm was bleeding, but she’d tried her best to quickly tie her coat around it to stop it from getting worse. She could feel she’d done a bad job at it when she fought off the goo spirit. She was able to momentarily push it back with large walls of earth, but she felt her energy fading faster than it should be allowed too. “We need to fall back.” She meant to shout, but her voice didn’t carry that much strength at the moment. “Oh really, Ava!?” Ryuu shouted angrily. “I was just about to suggest we retreat before you decided to grope Kasai.” “It was such an opportune moment, bro. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t have done the same.” She laughed, coughed, then remembered that Kasai was right there and shut up. Ryuu had lowered his guard too much by getting angry at Avani, and he felt something impale him from behind. One of the black tentacles was sticking out of his stomach. Avani could only look on with fear. Mio acted by cutting it in half with concentrated airbending. The severed tentacle fell apart into more of the black substance.

I was thinking it could kill most of them, but take one or two prisoners so they have to go find them at whatever place it took them. The prisoners could be killed off as well later on then. I agree that killing everyone else except those two would be the most appealing with that reasoning, but we don't need to kill them all at the same time right now.

Would the tar-like stuff be what kidnaps/kills some of the members? I'm fine with that, but I'm just wondering where we are plot wise, haha. Edit: Avani could get hurt in some way, since she's been at an advantage and powerful before while fighting. It could be sweet and lead to some interesting "My saviour/damsel in distress" XD. To be honest, I had thought of suggesting this idea for a while, but then I didn't have any suggestions for who would be the one hurt. I can see why it would be good if Avani was the one now. Unless you want Kasai to be the one. Assuming this is the battle where they're the only ones left. Thoughts?

Cool. Good luck with your stuff then.

Posted. I have a paper to write for next wednesday, so I'll probably not be able to post as much as I've done lately before then. Just so you know.

The Circus At The End Of The World (Engel X The Kraken)

Claire woke up too soon again when she thought she heard someone calling her name. She could feel Solomon moving next to her, and sat up to check what he was doing. Claire was greeted with a good morning by her best human friend. She caught the apple that Kate had thrown to her. She must have given Solomon something to eat as well, because he was chewing on it. “Oi, don’t you know not to feed the wild animals?” Claire asked then bit into the apple. “What if it develops a craving?” She stood up; a bit unsteady on her feet and stiff after sleeping where she’d slept. “It could try to break out of its cage just to find more.” She undid the lock on the cage from within, and stepped outside next to Kate. “What would you do then?” Claire took another bite of the apple and grinned with her mouth full. Solomon stretched in his cage, noticing that the door was open and lay back down to sleep. “Oh, and there’s Solomon too.” “Thank you for waking me.” She said with a sly smile, and to show how much she appreciated being awakened early in the morning she pulled Kate into a tight hug. Claire rubbed her cheek against Kate much like a cat would. She mostly did it to tease her friend, because she knew she smelled even more like a tiger than usual, both the smell and the hay she had on herself would be on Kate too now. “It’s such a nice gesture.” Claire locked Solomon’s cage back up after she’d hugged Kate. She felt a pain run through her right shoulder, an old scar that still made itself known every now and then. She gritted her teeth, and didn’t move for a moment. “Well, I better go clean myself up, not that it usually helps for long. If at all.” Some would say she’d adopted too many of the characteristics of her cats. Elena in particular didn’t like her tendency to sleep as much as they did if she wasn’t given any tasks to do. However, she also had the constant smell of tiger or lion in her clothes. At least she hadn’t given up being human completely yet, which was what mattered in her opinion. If she felt like it she could probably have escaped with her kittens and lived happily in a jungle. That was a silly dream, and she’d miss some things with human society, like Kate and the food. “What are you gonna do now?” She grinned. “Train with your manly assistant, I bet.” Claire stretched her arms above her head. “Thankfully, I’m so experienced and respected with my feline assistants that I barely need practice.” That was just bragging, because they’d always find some way to mess with her carefully planned routine unless she kept them in line with regular practices. Elena had been furious with her once after she’d been too laid back, and it’s resulted in a disorganized performance. Once Elena had made sure everyone was either up or had been notified that if they weren’t up in the next half hour they’d need to find a new job, she returned to her own wagon. She needed practice herself. She wanted to make sure that the show tonight would be unforgettable to everyone attending. She would check on the performers later the same day, but they should already know the schedule and order, so there wasn’t much she needed to do for now. Elena soon found herself distracted by her book.
