Rei climbed over to one of the pillars and slid down the metal structure. Once he was on the ground he sat down and stretched his legs, occupying himself. "What's wrong?" Rei asked Silk, having to raise his voice a bit as he looked over at her. He stopped what he was doing for a few moments, finally getting a good look at Silk's face. She looks pissed… He thought, slightly regretting his decision of trying to speak with her.
Arthur hangs off of his hoop by his legs, “Silk, must you hate everyone so?” He asks, “You don’t even attempt to hide it, we’re in this predicament together”
She flipped open the flaps, heading to a small vanity in the corner. "Take a seat, this shouldn't take long." She reached for a small package that held her normalcy.
Silk ignored Arthur and sighed at Rei. She spoke in a quiet voice, addressing him, “They’re all complaining, though it was they that got themselves in their mess. I hardly have a scar on me. Karma is just complaining and showing off, and I’m quite tired of it.”
Alice sat down in a chair and looked around. "Does everyone's tent look the same?"
Arthur sits back up and huffs, spinning around his hoop quietly, no longer singing.
"Pretty much." She ripped open the package and carefully put the contact in, blinking slowly to make sure it wouldn't fall out. "There we go, order has been restored to the world."
Rei gave a small nod, and leaned forward, his elbows touching the ground. "I think it's just best to try and ignore things that bother you. It's not like we can change much here." He said, the last part much quieter than the rest. "But then again I don't speak much with the others, or at all, so…"
Cyrus sighs. He often felt like an outsider, but that was his fault. He had trust issues ever since he could remember. Which wasn't that long ago.
Silk bent down so her back was nearly folded together so she could look up at him. “Right you are. Not talking to them is the best option… honestly I’m ready for them to run away. Mistress would be very happy. Their lashings take so much out of her. She might start asking me to do so. But baby, I’m not ashamed to admit I would be happy to…”
Rei looked at Silk through now widened eyes. Take so much out of her? There isn't any reason for her to do it at all… He thought, sitting up fully. "You'd be happy to? What about Alice?" Rei asked, a look of slight concern now on his face.
Cyrus sighs. He often felt like an outsider, but that was his fault. He had trust issues ever since he could remember. Which wasn't that long ago.
“Darling..” Arthur says, looking up at him from his hoop
Silk rolled her eyes. “The new chick? She’s clearly being sucked up by Karma. She’ll get the same stupid groove that Karma’s adopted. It’s quite sad, but it’s how humans think, I suppose.”
He looks up. "Ah. Yes, Arthur?" He places a hand on his hip, offering a smile.
He climbs up on the tight rope and to him, “I’m very glad that I got stuck in this hellhole with you, dearest”
"Hm," Rei put his elbows back on the ground, ignoring the larger bits of hard dirt that were on the ground. "I don't know, I'll just see how she turns out. I don't think she'll follow behind Karma that closely." He said, talking a bit more slowly than he had been. By now, he was struggling to keep his eyes open. I hope I get over this by the time I have to go up there.
Cyrus smiles and nods. "Me too, Arthur. It means a lot to me." He smiles and takes Arthur's hand, squeezing it gently.
Silk sighed and flicked his cheek. “We’d better get back to practicing. Good luck at the show tonight.” She sauntered back over to her pole, smirking at him, as if asking what he saw before bending back around her pole.
He grabs both of his hands and pulls him close to his chest, lightly kissing his cheek.
She chuckled. "That's good."
Rei nodded in agreement before standing up. He quickly climbed the ladder that led up to the rope and looked at it through narrowed eyes. Maybe I could do flips across it or something? He thought, crouching on the edge of the platform. He stood up, and dusted himself off, removing the dust that had collected on his pants while he was sitting on the ground. Leaning forward, Rei carried himself a few feet onto the rope with his hands before standing upright and on his feet. I'm gonna have to ask her what she really thinks of the Mistress at some point. Why should she care about that nasty woman being worn out anyway?
The pulled her deep purple hair out of its braid and let it fall down her back. It went just past her shoulder blades and in the light, it looked black. "Ahhh, much better."
Cyrus starts, but smiles gently. "Thank you, love." He leaves a kiss on the corner of Arthur's lips.
The pulled her deep purple hair out of its braid and let it fall down her back. It went just past her shoulder blades and in the light, it looked black. "Ahhh, much better."
"So, I'm guessing you don't like having your hair in a braid?" She asked, glancing at her in awe for a second or two. She's so pretty.
"It's not that I don't like it, it just gets annoying after a while." She grabbed a small comb off of the vanity and started combing through her hair, pulling out the knots that had been bugging her all morning.
"I'll admit it, it does get annoying after a while." She looked around awkwardly, not sure what to do.
She looked at Alice in the mirror, smiling lightly. "So Miss Wonderland, how's the circus so far?"
Cyrus starts, but smiles gently. "Thank you, love." He leaves a kiss on the corner of Arthur's lips.
“Any time” he laughs slightly, “it’s more for me than it is for you” he kisses on the edge of his jawbone and then turns away
She looked at Alice in the mirror, smiling lightly. "So Miss Wonderland, how's the circus so far?"
"My last name is Robinson and the circus is okay so far." She answered, glancing at Karma in the mirror.
She chuckled. "I know. I meant like the character. God, I'm such a nerd."
