The exact fate of her volunteer had escaped her for now, really it wasn't quite as important as the act anyway.

It's got the same reckless disregard for personal safety as what you do, but it's got way better production val-" Ember is interrupted by the falling bolts. She and Behold both look at them for a moment, then at each other. "That's... not good, right?" Ember asks. "Definitely not," Behold replies, looking up and around to try and figure out just how much trouble they're in. @Gorbash: 2d6-1 Discern Realities = (1+2)-1 = 2

Don't worry so much, Lian! Besides, did you see how good that rock thing was at juggling? That was crazy!" The fact that said juggling included potentially causing a teammate grievous injury was very much ignored. "C'mon, try some of this elephant thing and relax~" Putting action to words, she pulls Lian in closer and snuggles up against her. Circuses were awesome. Who's Irresponsible? This idol is!

When your team decides to take a smash and kill contract from a desaturated, obviously PTSD-wracked gnome in the wake of a possibly-orbital-but-maybe-not monster attack, it's one of those times. And that's why Zann is sitting on an extremely custom heavy lifter/orbital maintenance necrobot at the circus, because nobody seems to be able to avoid blocking the view of the master of life and death in the modern era. Cutting in on the team channel, the lich steps on the mood with the ease of centuries of practice. "If the rest of you are quite finished showboating, I'm going to take a look around the local network and see if I can nail down the details for our little sabotage." After a moment, Zann adds, "Actually, keep showboating. I'd rather they come after you than me." @wiegieman: 2d6+2 hack the circus-gibson = (2+4)+2 = 8 Zann left behind useful data traces.

 Lian gives in to temptation and sits down, her worries melting away as she snuggles with Neon. "Yeah, it was a good act..." A cursory look at the facility's network reveals little more than mundanely labeled files for daily administrative use; however, a little bit of poking around by Zann reveals that a few of the personnel files are actually teleportation cipher keys. As there are only two, they would presumably belong to the owners of the circus. They copy over nicely, but any further investigation is interrupted by a lost connection and a very loud bang. The last bolt holding the cage's door in place fractures. Steel bars slam down onto Jet and Behold, who have managed to wander directly under it while employing their expert investigative skills. Arcs of white hot electricity spray forth from the opening and a trio of colorful creatures jump out. The crowd gasps!  The majestic Imperial magnetic elkbear, no doubt! They gaze out at the roaring crowd, taking stock of their situation and searching for their handler. Or perhaps this wasn't part of the show? The elkbears exchange knowing glances and dash away, each in a different direction. One of them bowls over Seira as it makes its escape to freedom, and Natasha is thrown against the bleacher wall with a yelp. The crowd, perhaps assuming this was all an act, goes wild. Of course, it helped that the injured members of Industrial Fight and Magic were all hidden by the selective lighting. High above, Usher gives an uncaring shrug and motions to the organist to keep playing. Seira takes 2 damage from being trampled, Jet and Behold take 5!

"Oh no!" She gasps to the audiance, both huge hands going to her mouth would be if it existed anymore. "The elkbear are loose!" It was time to spring into action. Literally! Pellegana's mighty legs launch her up in the air in spectacular fashion, adding to the show this crowd was getting. On he way up, she makes sure to catch Usher's eye and give her a firm, disappointed shake of the head. Herding the elkbear wasn't either of their drat jobs, so why was she stuck doing it? You might suspect a huge rock monster would be fat and ungainly, but Pellegana lands in front of the main entrance with grace and precision. She cuts off the elkbear from just fleeing out the big top. Now both of them were stuck running around assaulting members of the crowd, like normal.

"Cукаaaaa...!" Natasha groans, clutching her side. Thankfully, she's spared any injury save for a few bruised ribs. She fumbles about, grabbing at something in the dirt. "Yes, let's." The wolf girl clutches Seira and climbs to her feet. "Please." With Pellegana's imposing figure blocking the main thoroughfare, two of the elkbear rear up on their hind legs and double back - right towards Jet, whose shouting only serves to further irritate the already unpleasant animals. Behold's bolo works this time, wrapping up the legs of the elkbear going for the side exit and causing it to come crashing to a halt, kicking up a cloud of sand as it tumbles against the bleacher wall. Several members of the crowd jump as the impact shakes their seats. Unfortunately for the Arrowist, her failure to look where she's running cuts any celebration short; she barrels into Jet, planting the two of them unceremoniously into the sand. They're promptly trampled by the two free elkbear as they dash for the rear exit. Behold and Jet take a whopping 2 damage!

She hands Lian the rest of the fried delicious thing, dusts off the cinnamon-sugar now adorning her clothing, and clambers up to her feet. She says, "Well, I guess I can't let a silly little circus steal the show. Honestly, I think that they should probably be paying me some sort of appearance fee already... but what the hell? Now's as good a time as any to start my renegade idol comeback tour!" With a snap, her frankly reality-shattering neon constructs flare to life and, in short order, overpower the dim lighting of the circus with some very bold, very neon stage lighting. Neon=Neon strikes a pose and, through the sheer gravity generated by her ego, quite literally commands the world to pay her heed. In her lilting stage voice, Neon says, "Everybody~! Listen to my song!" In a surprisingly subtle touch, one of the constructs sneaks down to where Behold has lassoed the magnetic elkbear and flashes a quick message to her in a neon strobelight shorthand: WILL KEEP EYES ON ME. FIGURE THIS OUT. ❤ NEON quote:SidekickBOT - Yesterday at 12:30 PM The chaotic nature of the venue makes proper stage choreography something of a non-starter, but Neon dazzles the big top as she sings and dances and puts on the retro-futuristic neon-dancepop extravanganza to end all retro-futuristic neon-dancepop extravaganzas. The idol stops at one point to blow a neon-blue kiss at the rapidly dying Seira, who looks roughly 16.67~% more healthy afterward! quote:SidekickBOT - Yesterday at 12:31 PM quote:SidekickBOT - Yesterday at 12:35 PM

"So now's your chance to catch those things without anyone else watching. And without embarrassing yourselves. Further." Behold sighs, and rolls into a prone shooting position.

Neon's lightshow overpowers the color desaturating illusion magic, making her display more garish than thought possible. Much of the crowd erupts into a roar. Wasn't she supposed to be dead? How is this possible? Was this circus act all just a ploy for her sudden reveal? The glow of cellphone screens lights up the stands, and the occasional flash pops off as everyone does their best to get their own footage. Down in the sand pit, the neon glare and swirling colors result in a strongly disorienting visual effect. Behold's target collapses to the ground with a bellow and flails in place, struggling against the bolo. Thankfully, the line holds strong. Just next to her, Jet rides the bucking elkbear until one of her arms is caught by the extensive horns; she's thrown into the dirt and kicked swiftly by its hind legs. It yells and shakes its head, shaken but not down. It looks around for another exit, but between Pellegana blocking the primary escape route and Neon's light show, it circles in place, unable to locate a way out. Jet takes 6 damage before armor and is prone! There's one left running around.

Great. At least most of the crowd was distracted by that stupid light and song show out of nowhere. With eyes mostly not on her, Pellegana sighs and jogs up to the elkbear that got plum knocked out near the entrance. "Hwup!" She leans over to grab the thing on her way past it, and with a fluid motion hucks it expertly through the air and right into the other, panicking elkbear. But it flew right in front of that singer.

The historians — for these recordings would surely be scrutinized for deeper meaning and the impact it would have on future generations — would certainly have much to argue over. Neon=Neon does acknowledge that her prior infusal of song-based vital energy does not seem to have fully infused Seira with the proper levels of vitality, doubtlessly due to lackluster listening skills, by adding a pair of neon-blue beams of energy to ongoing attempt to keep her from keeling over due to elkbear-inflicted trauma. Truly, being an artist is suffering. quote:SidekickBOT - Today at 11:41 AM quote:SidekickBOT - Today at 11:42 AM

Neon's avant-garde art piece tumbles through the air with a low yell and crashes down, entangling itself with another elkbear and tumbling into a nearby tent pillar. The force is enough to shatter the rotten wood pole at its base. Above, Usher leaps from her platform and manages to grab the ladder on the adjacent pole. She dangles from one arm, watching as the pole collapses directly onto Pellegana and unceremoniously tearing down a portion of the big top. Thankfully, the circus strong-thing is able to catch it with her hands before it can fully crash down into the audience, though it might be a little difficult to put it down safely without any help. The crowd seems to be a little more than concerned at this point, and Neon can spy a slight, but steady, stream of people abandoning their spots. The elkbears are subdued, and Pelleganna only took one damage. Usher climbs onto the stage next to Neon. She crosses her arms and gives the idol a stony stare. "How much longer do you intend to do this?"

The artificer slings her mag launcher and quickly collects some rope, pulleys, and metal poles from the debris. She hurries over and pulls spare parts and tools come out, and in short order Behold has fabricated a powered hoist on the spot. Pulling out an industrial grade epoxy spray, she glues a series of metal poles to the beam to give her some proper attachment points, then hooks it on. Then she glues the hoist itself down, as well as heaving a as many heavy objects as are convenient onto the base to hold it in place. Finally Behold flips a hastily installed switch, and gradually the hoist talks up the weight. "It won't hold forever, but you should be able to put it down.

And, yes, Pellegana could. But that was besides the point. She was a living, breathing kobold drat it. She deserved better. But, lo and behold, unlike Usher and everybody else one of the mercs the Boss hired actually comes to help! And pretty quickly at that. Pellegana isn't able to see what the hell this one was working on, but when she slowly lets go of the weight she is genuinely surprised when the hoist holds it all safely. "Huh." Doing as she is told, the kobold slowly puts the weight down and steps away from the terrible, collapsing mess. "Hey, thanks man." She would be smiling at Behold for the save, but her face lacked any sort of actual face on it. She sounded appreciative, though. "Another couple hours under there and it would have sucked."

"What's next is that you should be heading home for the night," the Fortune Teller chimes in, appearing next to Pellegana. She shuffles her deck of cards nervously. "I cannot quite say that I expected this; it should move up our timeline quite a bit. Never seen an opening night so..." She trails off, but you can imagine that a less polite person may have finished the sentence with thoroughly hosed up. "I shall send a runner with the news. Is that acceptable?"

She wasn't being paid for her colour commentary. Just her huge bulk and ability to toss elkbear around like basketballs.

HP: 18/18 | Armor: 1 | Damage: d8 | Poise: 4/4 | Load: 5/6 | XP: 0/11 | Currently: Stylish Curious (convince me to try something I probably shouldn’t) | Irresponsible (convince me to shirk my duty) With one last, echoing, "Stay Neon!" to the crowd, the idol winds down her performance and shoots an immensely irritating, poo poo-eating grin at Usher. Neon=Neon says, "Just think of the exposure, babe! The music scene is gonna go crazy with news of my renegade comeback tour. I'm sure you'll see some increased traffic along with that~!" She winks, then adds, "I'll even waive my usual appearance fee." Flouncing away, she grabs Lian's hand and heads down to meet up with the others. She says, "Wow, that was a lot of fun. We should do circuses more often."

"Hopefully this place is too destroyed to see any further traffic," Usher deadpans, shaking her head as the idol wanders off to the rest of her party. Lian, on the other hand, is too starstruck to construct any sensible sentences. At least she won't go far, seeing as how she's clamped onto the idol as if her life depended on it. "Laying down sounds pretty nice right now," Natasha whines. "Actually, you know what would be nice? A little cuddling. Just be careful with the bruised ribs..." --- It's in the worst, earliest hours of the morning that Usher comes knocking at the door with Pelegana in tow. The sun is nowhere in sight. The gnome waits very patiently for someone to open the door for her, and doesn't even give her greeter the courtesy of a good morning or how are you? "The press caught wind of last night's stunt. The owners are here, and the argument has already spilled out into the street. The Fortune Teller is waiting at her tent. It is advisable that you should consult her before doing anything drastic." Usher shrugs. "Or not. I assume you are not the sort to plan to any significant degree." feel free to plan something out in retrospect during the night, including gathering last second things that might be useful

HP: 26/27 | Armour: 0 | Damage: d8 | Load: 3/14 | XP: 0/11 Curious (convince me to try something I probably shouldn’t) | Peculiar (refuse my aid because I’m different) Having been on the 'you work for me so be at my beck and call any time of the day as and when I need it', the early hour was not an issue for Pellegana. It's a benefit when you're a minion / circus performer, probably half the reason she even got the job! As usual she lets her way way WAY smaller companion do the talking, happy to stand behind her and act as muscle. Or a backdrop, whichever. "Well…" Pellegana speaks up after Usher had finished her instructions to the smash happy mercenaries. "If we’re honest, maybe if the Boss didn’t say ‘only my boyfriend is off-limits, everything else can be collateral damage’ there might not have been so much, well, collateral damage." She shrugs.

HP: 12/16 | Armor: 2 | Damage: d8 | Charge: ◆◆◆ | Load: 9/10 | XP: 7/10 Adventurous (Offer me a high-risk, high-reward plan that I can't resist) | Compassionate (Give me a chance to put myself in a spot to help someone in need) Behold is nursing a large cup of coffee and still trying to become fully coherent. "Owners. Street. Got you. We'll be right on it." She yawns hugely. "Just need to... uh... what was your name again?" She blinks owlishly at the gnome, then her gaze snaps somewhat disconcertingly to Pellagana. "Oh. Hi again. That lift - did it hold until they could fix the... pole... thing?"

HP: 21/26 | Armor: 1 | Damage: d10 | Load: 5/9 | XP: 8/10 Graceless (include me in a beneficial social interaction I must spoil with blunt observation or crass behavior) | Impulsive (put me in a situation where refusing an immediate gain will pay off later) "Hey, I've been known to plan," mutters Jet, dicing an onion. "I planned this breakfast, ha." She throws it in a frying pan before turning. "Can't plan anything when we aren't told anything, that's how it is. Always has been. You improvise because Mr. or Ms. Jackass Johnson Esquire the Third didn't tell you about the autocannons, or the death squad, or the angry balls of fur. So y'know. What's actually fuckin' going on?"

Sorry to knock so early, but you know how work is." Pellegana gives Behold a big, friendly wave. Sure it might undermine the dark and serious tone Usher was going for, but screw her! "Yeah! …well. It kinda held!" She didn't like being the bearer of bad news, but it was pretty obvious when you looked at the circus tent that it still wasn't repaired yet. She couldn't do much to hide it. "Everybody got out and we dragged the elkbears back into their pen before half of it collapsed again real bad. Pole's back up now mind you. But I don't think we're having another show under the big top tonight."

HP: 6/12 | Armor: 1 | Damage: d8 | Load: 4/7 | XP: 8/9 Chaotic (Allow me to break something that belongs to BTC, even if it puts us in peril) | Daredevil (Ask me to do something daring and acrobatic). A door swings open. Seira comes out of her room, still in her pajamas. She took Natasha to her place last night, and probably came home much later afterwards. "Well." She looks at the two guests. "Sorry. Pretend I'm wearing something nice." She nabs the coffee pitcher from Behold and pours a cup herself. "I'm surprised we're still on this job, after last night."

Usher shoots Jet a tired look. "What's going on is that the schedule has moved ahead; the decision to highjack our performance's opening night has not gone unnoticed by the owners, and they have decided to stop by and see for themselves. It is not as if we have much choice," she abruptly answers Seira. "My lady decided to confide in you and I doubt there are any more capable groups of brutes wandering around this gods-forsaken island. Shall we - " The gnome ducks her head as her words are drowned out by a horrible screeching noise. Behind her, a heavy utility truck rumbles up to the doorstep, dragging a metal sarcophagus behind it by a precariously-rigged steel cable. Two familiar faces - Singer and Seraph - tumble out of the crew cabin. "Sorry about the roads, we, uh - " " - Didn't have a sled or trailer or anything, and you guys left Oxide behind the other day, and, um - " " - we sort of don't want it at our place anymore, and, er - " "We hope we weren't interrupting anything important!" They apologize in unison. Usher rolls her eyes. "I suppose my lord and lady can survive long enough for you to finish your breakfast and," she waves back at the Arrowists, "whatsoever might that be. Please, take your time." Totally forgot about Oxide: it's a weapon with the following tags: Close, Messy, Ignores Armor, Clumsy (-1 ongoing), Weight 8. While ungodly heavy and very unwieldy, it's a terrifying weapon: when you hit with it, the user picks one item and one limb on the target; they lose both. When used on a structure, you can carve out a person-sized entryway in one action. It will cut through anything unattended or inanimate with ease.
