Performance and Dreamcatchers

Who: Joker, those working entertainment, and whoever wants to do fun arts and crafts
When: The day after the orientation, and then after the ringmaster's announcement
Where: The Big Tent and one of the side stages, respectively
What: Joker gets his performing ducks all in a row, and then does an arts and crafts corner. As you do. Mingle log!

At around ten in the morning, as he told a few other workers and anyone who'd been listening in on the walkie talkies, Joker starts to radio in those who are working under him to meet up in the big top. Hope you had breakfast and not a hangover! Of course, for anyone who tries not to attend, Joker will cheerfully hunt them down and bother them into going.

Sorry, mandatory, you know how it is.

It's later in the day, after the ringleaders' own announcement, that eventually Joker makes another of himself, this time to the general channel. It's an invitation to one of the side stages to make dreamcatchers together, for anyone who still craves company or simply doesn't know what the hell a dreamcatcher even is. Along with that, Joker has taken it upon himself to make sure signs advertising this are plastered all over the carnival.

He drew them himself. Please appreciate the scribbled stars.

Steven Universe

Oh, I can go next!

[Steven lifts up and waves his hands in greeting.]

My name's Steven Universe, and I'm from Beach City, Earth. I look like I'm human, but I'm actually half gem, too, like Amethyst and Peridot! Uh, if you've met them, I guess! [He'll lift his shirt briefly to show the gemstone in his belly.] Mine is a rose quartz, and it gives me some magic powers and stuff.

My dad is really good at music, so he taught me how to play all kinds of things since I was little. I like to write songs, and act, and dance, and... pretty much anything, really! I have a Tubetube channel back home that I do some shows for like cooking and reaction videos. I'm going to be here for a year, and I think it will be a lot of fun!

I want to help other people do their acts, because I think every routine benefits from a lovely assistant and I can do a lot of stuff! Especially if I get to wear a pretty costume. So if you want to team up, let me know!
otokogi: (but i still gave my best)

[ Mitsuki likes this person as soon as he uses both hands to wave, but after the part about being half-gem and then the list of talents, he definitely wants to talk to him. So, after all the introductions are over but before too many people are too invested in their rehearsing, he does just that. ]

Hi Steven! That's a long list of talents... were you a performer at home, too?
starseedling: (:))

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-24 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Um, kinda? Not professionally! But that makes sense because I'm still a kid.

My dad was a performer though so he taught me all of his stuff!
otokogi: (stand up now and face the sun)

[personal profile] otokogi 2016-10-30 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that weird for kids to be performers, especially if their parents are doing it. But it's good that you waited so you could learn more.

What kind of things were you wanting to help people with? I'm going to have a show on one of the side stages and I'm sure I could use a hand once in a while.
starseedling: (if you read this then you are a cutie)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-31 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. Well, you know how when magicians do stuff on stage, they have like... someone in a sparkly outfit that dances and moves the boxes around and gets sawed in half sometimes?? I want to do that!

[A pause.]

But only fake sawing in half. I mean, I can do non magician stuff, too, but... that kind of thing!
otokogi: (somewhere i heard that life is a test)

[personal profile] otokogi 2016-11-10 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mitsuki laughs a little, not unkindly--of course it's fake sawing in half, but he's so earnest about it. ]

Yeah, an assistant! Would you want the sparkly outfit and everything? You're already partway there, huh?

[ Mitsuki points to his own stomach, which is sadly unbejeweled. ]
starseedling: (i will be voting for all of them)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-11-12 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Steven looks down, confused, but then understands what he's referencing.]

Haha... yeah! But I want to go the whole way! It's a carnival, right? You gotta go big!
starseedling: (allow me to tell you a thing)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-24 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! [No argument here, Joker.] Do you know what they do that thing where they change costumes half way through a performance? That would be so cool...
starseedling: (about our presidential candidates)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-31 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I can shapeshift a little, but I can't really shapeshift new clothes, so that would be great. I can just do stuff like this!

[Steven's legs magically start to stretch out, making him far taller in way that is ridiculously disproportionate. He giggles and starts dancing back and forth on his stilt legs.]
starseedling: (fuck the grid)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-11-04 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! For everyone, including me.

[He closes his eyes to concentrate, and then shrinks his legs again. He doesn't actually like shapeshifting that much, most of the time, but it's not too bad anymore.]

I got all these powers from my mom but we didn't really know what I'd get, so sometimes stuff gets kind of crazy.
starseedling: (the creepiest pasta is lasagna)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-11-09 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He thinks for a second, then shakes his head.]

No, I don't think so! Usually its just stuff that is sort of inconvenient for me. [He flushes a little, realizing what he might have implies.] I haven't... I haven't hurt anyone, because of them.

[Not specifically because of the powers, anyway.]

Stefan!

[ wait ]

I mean Steven!

[ Tacky belly button piercing aside, and the whole, y'know, being half rock. Junko sees much potential in this tiny little human. Music, experience in theatrics, desire to wear horribly bedazzled costumes.. It's all there. ] It's almost supernatural how coincidental this is.... But I'd totally be interested in auditioning you as my lovely assistant for my act!

Who would, coincidentally, get to wear a pretty costume.
starseedling: (about our presidential candidates)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-24 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Steven has absolutely no idea who this girl is, which is precisely why he doesn't have a single reason to say no. He perks up enthusiastically.]

Really?? That sounds great! But how do you mean... audition?
cutcrease: <user name=sasscons> (pic#10658278)

[personal profile] cutcrease 2016-10-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Like a trial run! Just to see if we're compatible. Do you know how terrible it would be if we didn't like each other but we had a performance already done?? Tragic.

[ Honestly, she only said that just because she felt like it but she can work with it..! ]

If it all works out we can talk about costume designs.. Isn't that exciting?
starseedling: (fuck the grid)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-27 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yeah... smart, smart! [He nods in understanding, folding a hand under his chin thoughtfully.]

That sounds great! What kind of act do you do?
cutcrease: <user name=sasscons> (pic#10658297)

[personal profile] cutcrease 2016-10-27 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you know, whatever Daredevils do.

[ She says like an afterthought. ]

Usually I just do whatever when I get up and perform but I guess I gotta think about this stuff now lmao.... But, if I were to describe an average set: a lot of death defying stunts, crowd playing, me looking really really nice. So just add you in there, ALSO looking really really nice!
starseedling: (start off unknown end unforgettable)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-10-31 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow...

[That's really the crux of all he has to say about that, though he manages to shake off the wonder enough to keep talking a few moments later.]

You must be really brave.

[ Oh.....it's been a while since someone so blatantly praised her. She's gonna soak in this for a little bit!!! ]

Well, I mean....... maybe. Gosh, when you put it that way I guess I do do a lotta work around here, what with being so Despair-inducingly cute it's Dangerous!

Are ya scared??
starseedling: (i think i've watched enough anime)

[personal profile] starseedling 2016-11-04 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy if you like positive reinforcement, Steven is your guy! At least when it comes to getting praised for doing cool stunts. Though... he doesn't really understand how someone can be "despair-inducingly cute", though he doesn't question her wording.]

No way! I almost die all the time!

[ She squints her eyes, leaning in closer to the boy. It takes only five seconds before she decides to lean back and shrug, barking out a laugh. ]

I like the cut of your jib.

You sound like the perfect candidate if you have no fear of death what-so-EVER! I can’t wait to start teaching you everything I know, like what kind of colors go well with each other and how you should wear your hair if you don’t want it singed off.
