Yahtzee glanced around nervously despite Cora's reassuring words. There was no real reason for Wil to be in danger of any sort but his trainer _knew_ things. He had never figured out how or why but the old man always simply just knew the answer to any problem. If Wil was in any sort of danger then they should probably act sooner rather than later. Like a lot sooner. For now though he tried to force an uneasy smile and followed Cora in search of some sort of new clothing. "I doubt there will be anything around here." He said. "I mean the circus always only transports the necessary props. Clothes just sort of got bought and sold as we went." A shadow fell over him and Yahtzee turned abruptly to face the Ringleader. His tall frame doing an incredible job of looming. "Uh... hey?" Yahtzee tried his voice quavering slightly. The Ringleader was pretty intimidating up close. "Oh have you seen Wil? He was travelling with us when we arrived but my trainer seemed to think he was in danger." He asked hopefully. "I cannot say." The Ringleader said. "I am not as... in tune with the events of time as your old master." A small smile creased the corners of the Ringleader's mouth. "The last time I saw him he seemed to be quite distressed. A girl approached him, they talked and he followed. Down there." Yahtzee nodded and swallowed and turned to go speak to Cora but before he could the Ringleader put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back. "Something big lies ahead of you and it's waking up." He whispered. "Take this," the Ringleader pulled a wooden cane out from seemingly no where and put it into Yahtzee's hands. "It's dangerous to go alone." "What?" Yahtzee asked frowning in confusion. "A reference to something to far gone for you to remember. There is a small rune underneath the handle. Tap it to activate when you feel the need." And just like that the Ringleader was finished talking and walked away, back into the tent. Yahtzee stared at the old and dinged up wooden cane in his hands for a moment before heading to Cora.

Yahtzee only just noticed Cora speaking peripherally and it took a few moments for him to actually process what her words were. "Uh... plan?" He asked with a slight waver in his voice. "I dunno. You're normally the one with plans but we won't need to stay here long. Even if we did the circus is only in one spot for at most a week and I sorta get the feeling that they have been here for near six days now. Probably only a final act." He stopped speaking to her as he reached his old trainer. "Hello... sir." He said nervously. The old man turned to face them an glanced up at them before his face brightening in recognition. "Yahtzee!" He spoke excitedly. "What are you doing here?" He said brightly but his grin soon faded into a worried frown and his tone darkened. "I told you Yahtzee to leave. Things aren't safe anymore for someone like you." "No wait sir it's all good!" Yahtzee said hastily. "I met others like me. Well sort of like me. They do differents stuff but like-" "And where are they now boy?" The man snapped. "They're right here." He turned and gestured to Cora. "This is Cora and Wil is over the-" His voice trailed off as he looked around for his friend. "Uh... I'm sure he just stepped outside for a moment." He said meeting Cora's eyes, alarmed. "Hmmph." The old man grunted. "I think you have better things to do than wasting time with old acquaintances best forgotten. Your friend is more than likely in danger." He said as he turned back to his work. Yahtzee frantically looked around again then faced Cora. "Come on! Let's go find Wil!" He said hurriedly as he ran towards the entrance of tent and outside into the light calling for Wil as he went.

So awesome! At like the edge of my seat here! The suSPENSE

Yahtzee gazed up at the circus with no small amount of fondness. As was the stereotype the circus was a gigantic red topped tent an the sides were covered with artistic drawings showing the possible range of spectacles one might encounter inside. Looking at the familiar place he found that all of his nerves had been settled. This was his home at for the first time in a long time he began to relax. One of the pictures showed a black figure surrounded by a spiral of red streaks and he grinned before turning to face the guards escorting them. "Thanks for the help. God knows we would have had a hard enough finding this giant tent without some sort of assistance." His sarcasm didn't go down particularly well with the burly man before him but he didn't care because he was on home turf now. Whatever happened he could handle it. The entrance flap opened with an unusually loud rustle and the Ringleader stepped out. No one knew the Ringleader's name and settled for simply calling him by his position. The first that was noticed was his height. He was hugely tall, an affect that was magnified by his thinness, and he towered over everyone. He wore a black and white pinstriped suite that was a stark contrast to his red bow-tie. His eyes were a calming grey and one was behind a monocle. "Ringleader!" Yahtzee spoke quickly knowing his plan would fall apart if the Ringleader revealed that his arrival was a surprise. "I found the recruits we were looking for." The Ringleader's face remained unreadable and he nodded in acknowledgement. "Yahtzee. Good to see you again. Take these friends of yours inside and we will find them an act to participate in. I will clear things with the guards while you get set up." Yahtzee was a little taken a-back by the Ringleader's abruptness but simply nodded and held open the flap for the others to step inside of the tent. Just before going in himself the Ringleader gave him a small smile and wink out of the corner of his eye before turning and speaking with the guards. "Whew." Yahtzee finally breathed a sigh of relief looking around. "We'll be safe here. Everyone's friends of mine." He said grinning again. The interior of the tent was a large flat are covered in soft sand. The sand itself was transported by the circus as it was near impossible to find it anywhere apart from one or two select places. There was plenty of commotion going on as various performers prepared their acts. The closest to them was the strong man. His muscles strained mightily as he did push-ups... with a car on his back. Up near the ceiling were the trapeze artists. In the middle were the clowns. Contortionists were in oddly shaped boxes near the edge of tent and opposite them were the four jugglers juggling clubs, balls, knives and other brightly colored objects moving too fast to make out clearly. There were others but Yahtzee was too focus on trying to find someone specific to even notice them. Sitting alone not far away was an old man that was mixing something in a bowl and soaking long lengths of rope in it. "If anyone asks just say your with me..." Yahtzee said in a distracted tone of voice as he headed to his old teacher.

Totz keen for getting a post up with the circus! I'll post tomorrow regardless of any other posts made or not made or half made or unmade. Gon' be wicked awesome.

Well I'm flattered to have served as an inspiration to a great mind such as yours. :)

Yahtzee watched the fight unfold between Cora and Sig quietly as his mind frantically tried to take note of the moves and techniques of the two clearly experienced fighters before him. There powers were so vastly different from his however and he eventually just settled in to be simply entertained by the spectacle. Then the vision struck. It was the first of it's kind he had ever experienced and it left his knees weak and his mouth dry. "The hell?" He asked to nobody in particular and a good thing to because that was who was listening to him. His gaze darted from Wil to Cora to Phil before looking aroun for Salamander. _Kyra_ his familiar said in explanation. Well that made things easier. Movement drew his gaze and he saw Wil racing away followed by Cora. "H-Hey!" He yelled after them but they were already out of earshot. Giving Salamander a pleading glance the dragon gave a deep sigh before flying him high into the air and heading after the elementals. Once Yahtzee had reached them, Salamander unceremoniously dumped him on the ground to run for himself. It was a struggle to keep up but he managed. Barely. His aching muscles left him little to no breath for talking. Finally they came to a stop and he doubled over breathing heavily as he heard a guard talking in the background. Finally he caught his breath and looked up just as the guard's warning shot wizzed past him. It took a moment for him to register it an when he did he leapt sideways. "Agh!" He yelped. "I'm having second thoughts about getting shot." He gulped and straightened up doing his best to look composed as he reached into his pocket and very discreetly drew out a thin piece of plastic card. "If I may..." He said quietly stepping forward in front of the group an holding the card out in front of him. The card was something he had kept as a keepsake after leaving the circus although he had never expected to actually use it again. It had a barcode registering it as legit and had his information as Yahtzee. "Registered name, Alex Stone. Used name, Yahtzee. Occupation, Circus performer sub-job, fire tamer." He spoke in a robotic monotone and kept his face as blank as he could. "These are as of yet unregistered. Registration will commence after a successful interview with Ee-el Circus Of Wonders. An unnsuccesful one will result in termination. o we have your clearance and authority to pass?" He called out to the guard. The moment's that followed brought Yahtzee's stomach into his throat and he swallowed it down. The guard seemed to be thinking it over but the gun remained locked onto them. If this worked then they could preserve what little energy they had for the fight later. It all hinged on this guard's next decision.
