Hey idk if this was mentioned earlier or not. But is Madame Sombre a babe or naw

Kinda? I mean, she looks to be about thirty years old and hasn't aged. So... I suppose so?

Annaliese gave him a cheeky grin and said, "I'm sure I could cook up a spell that would allow them to remain in perfect condition for the rest of our days here." She then frowned a little but it vanished immediately. "But then again, a chip or crack can give a doll more character than any paint ever could." That's when a sad, but true, smile appeared upon her rosy lips. "Perhaps that's what we could have been like, if we'd been allowed to live in our own lifetimes... but... then again, many of us wouldn't have had much more time to live if this place hadn't rolled around when it had." Sorrow had seeped from her words like water from a spout. "Tell me what dolls you want me to charm and I'll do that for them. I just want them to last longer than I will."

Then he mentioned something about the bride being envious of her, but wouldn't say. She knelt so that she was at eye level with the doll and gave it a wink and another sad smile. "Well, there's nothing to be envious of me. You've got a groom waiting for you, I'm sure. Mine waited and died of old age before I could return to him." She then stood up a little straighter than she normally stood. She was blushing slightly and gave Andre a somewhat bashful smile. "I'm sorry, sweetie... You're dolls are easier to talk to than people. I can see why you'd want to be around them more often than around other people, especially the kind that we are."

She then stepped close enough that she had to tilt her head up to look him in the eye. "Well, I'll give you the key to my tent." She raised a hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "No matter how much I've concealed my door, you'll always be able to find it. Just don't get lost. Always take the left door. Never stray, otherwise you may end up somewhere that you truly wish yourself not to be. Then she stepped back a little to give him his space. She knew him well, but not well enough to assess whether he enjoyed close proximity with her or for her to keep her distance. He had inquired about her show a few moments before and she gave him a vixen grin. "My show isn't for another hour, but you are more than welcome to come see. I may feel inspired to shake up my normal routine."

Posteeed. Scarlet, do tell me if I'm moving along too fast; I wanted to leave plot progression until the the dawn so that everyone gets a chance to move around and suchlike, get the new people into the circus. However, it's not like Diedra to sit around if people were dying...her headstrong characteristics mean she'll charge right into battle and probably get the snot beaten out of her. xD

Nah, it's cool. We could have some character building going on while she and Sombre speak. Sombre isn't one to dally. XDD She's a business woman who gets her shit in a handbasket and gets it DONE.

Anywho, it'll give Tanner a chance to run around as well as give the others who haven't posted yet a little time to find someone to interact with.

She felt the bile rise in her throat as she compared herself to that witch of a woman.

As if summoned by the thought, Madame Sombre seemed to appear as elegantly as she always did. "Or how about we speak now, so that such a She strode into the tent, her skirt billowing behind her, as if there were a breeze in the air. She stood next to Tanner and placed a hand that gave the appearance of never working a day in her life on his shoulder. [b]"Thank you so much, my dear, but may I ask you to leave? I haven't seen Annaliese in her tent and she has a performance in about an hour. I'd like for her to... spice things up, maybe get a little more seductive than she normally does. The audience tonight seems to be rather mature and perhaps she should get out of her shell... and out of Andre's tent. And then maybe check in on our new addition to the family, Roman. I heard Annaliese speaking to him earlier, and we all know that she has nothing nice to say."

She then turned her black eyes to Diedra and gave her a loving and endearing smile that would make a normal person feel as if she had loved them their entire lives. How else could she have won the hearts of so many people and brought so many people to her beloved circus? "My dearest Diedra... I haven't been able to speak with you in such a long while, at least not one on one." She sat on thin air as if there were a seat beneath her. "Please, take a seat, it's on me." She then used some strange force to make the woman sit on the air like she was. Then she leaned forward and rested her chin on her hand and her elbow was held by nothing but the air. "I trust that you've said only good things about me, but you and Miss Annaliese are becoming very much alike nowadays. I've begun to worry that there might be something troubling the two of you into thinking tragic thoughts."

Sombre then sighed loudly, her eyes appearing to be the same age as she. The countless centuries that she had lived seemed to fade away when she made contact with the circus's patrons. Though she looked as if she were no older than thirty and no younger than twenty-seven. "Now, please do tell me what you've been meaning to say-- and don't bother with trying to put it nicely. We've known each other for centuries now, darling, and I know that pleasantries are no longer required between us."

Amira listened to what Five had to say, or at least, what his recording had to say. She could tell that it dated from a long while back, but found it even stranger that he could speak back then. Did they remove his ability to talk when they realized that he wanted to be able to function as his own person, rather than simply a tool? She processed this for a long moment before she noted that he was waking up. "Greetings, friend." She said in a relieved tone of voice. "It seems as if Fate will not allow us to part paths so soon." She did her best to try and sit him up, but didn't want to damage him any further. "Your 'eyes' say... something." She noticed that they seemed to have a bit more emotion in them than they did earlier. Perhaps it was because he rebooted himself? But this means that I'm not the only one that has to go through with this torment of feeling what we're not supposed to feel...

Then Lou warned them that they would have to get moving, because cops had appeared. For a moment, she had forgotten that she was a refugee among these homeless. She was on the run. If they happened to have goggles that could scan her model number, they could easily detect that she was the android that was on the run. Her mechanical heart started to pound within her chest, and if she had been human, she may have felt warmth spread to her face and the back of her neck. In an artificial way, she did. She grabbed Five where his armpits were and began to drag him through the legs of the crowd. "We need to go..." She whispered hurriedly in his 'ear'.

She gave Lou a distressed look from the back of the crowd, praying that the girl wouldn't get into too much trouble. Please... don't do something that will make them harm you... At this point, she had taken quite a liking to the spunky child and would protect the girl at any cost. Even if it cost her the freedom that she so desired.

Is there like a main event after dawn? Like in a real circus when everyone comes into a joint show? Or is it only gonna be the individual tents throughout the entire day?

Nope. That's normally when they would start packing up and putting it on the buses that they use. Although, I think that the show may stay in New York for a couple of nights rather than just the one, just to make it easier on everyone.
