Get Ready For the Show

[pipers_son]

Who: All the performers, plus any visitors
What: Time to get back into the swing of things! Nothing says "I've recovered from trauma" like learning how to plaster a smile onto your face for the crowds.
When: D1 - D5
Where: The Main Tent
Warnings: None.... Probably

As the saying goes, "All play and no work makes Jack forget how to do his job". On the bright side...

Over the radio, Joker makes a cheerful announcement for all performers to start getting back into the practice schedule with new arrivals to show up on the first day back from the moon. On the first day, he'll be lenient. No one has to be on time, but he does want them to at least make an appearance and token attempt at practice. After that, well... Show up, or you'll have an aggravatingly cheerful stage manager paying a personal visit. He bothers because he cares.

To those who have become familiar with it, the tent is outfitted with all off the usual practice equipment, and new faces will be in for a treat. There are the usual acrobatics equipment: silk ropes, the high wire, trapeze swings. Daredevils will find all sorts of things to threaten their lives with, although they'll soon find that there are magical safety precautions in place which stop the Big Tent from, say, getting set on fire. And the magician stuff? Well.... Don't hurt yourself there.

Out of the love of his heart, Joker will make sure there are bottles of water nearby, so don't be afraid to work up a sweat.

Tyki will have to rely on subtle body clues then to see if Ginko is hiding from him. Then again, Ginko was hard to read just because he didn't seem to express himself until he suddenly did.

It does please him though to hear that change in tone again at the fact his recovery worked and he'll chuckle, "So I've noticed. It seems that Earth is very common but a lot are vastly different. Then there are other worlds all together. Carnival feels like a mixed hand with a lot of wild cards."

[dontpokethat]

"Exactly. Knowing someone is from Earth doesn't tell you much of anything around here."

Different times, different worlds... he smiles, wry and subtle. "Probably says something about the kinds of people who sign on to work somewhere like this."

[prazerbutterfly]

"It seems at least that if you are human you come from some variation of Earth or that is the most common attribute. I take it you are from one as well?"

He's yet to hear of one similar to his. His seemed a little plain compared to other stories. His world only had humans, Noah, and Akuma made from humans. There were other creatures but they all had some variation and were more of a creation than born the way they were.

[dontpokethat]

"That's right. Japan, if that means anything to you - and it was 1873 when I left." Seems to him to be a good idea to cover all his bases with regards to that right away.

[prazerbutterfly]

"It does. I'm familiar with Edo mostly," he answers with some discretion. "It was 18xx when I left it." Roughly around the same time in the late 1800s. "But I have been all around the world throughout my life."

With the help of the Noah's Ark, Tyki could travel from Barcelona to Edo in a heartbeat. Edo was just an important place for a while.

[dontpokethat]

"Yeah? Never been there myself. Not really a fan of cities." He laughs softly and adds, "Never left Japan before joining the carnival, either. It's kind of a nice change to meet someone who's done more traveling than I have."

[prazerbutterfly]

It's where the Ark was mostly in the final stages of it before it was recreated and moved. The birthplace of humanity turned into a demon factory. Yet convenient. "There's a whole world out there, Mister Ginko. Thousands of views, a long stretch of road. I can never complain even as complacent I am with doing nothing at times."

[dontpokethat]

He's plenty familiar with long stretches of road, honestly - enough so for that comment to get a quiet, amused snort from him.

"You don't need to tell me that. I stuck to one country, sure, but I... didn't really stay anywhere for long besides that. I already knew there was bound to be plenty more out there; getting somewhere I couldn't walk to would just be something of a pain. But I can't say I was never curious."

Just one more reason he's stuck with the carnival, he guesses.

[prazerbutterfly]

"Well, then I guess in your case, the carnival is worth something," he says with an air of fondness.

There's not much more to talk about on that though he could go on and on about the thing he's seen. It's just he doesn't want to ruin such a first time view. It was the wonder and experience from every place. "Until the next place at least I have practice so I can wait to see what it is."

[dontpokethat]

"It's... yeah. It's worth a lot." As much as he'd wondered before what it would be like to have somewhere he could actually stay, all those thoughts couldn't compare to having it actually happen.

He nods and glances down at Antlers, who's starting to pace just a little bit. "And I should probably let you get back to that... and keep showing this guy around. It's been nice talking to you, though."

[prazerbutterfly]

Ginko, you're a precious person and every time it looks like he's actually happy he wonders what goes on through that head of his.

"Oh? Ditching me already~♥ But, I should get back to practicing. A pleasure to talk to you as always, Mister Ginko." And you too, Antlers. One last pet for the good boy!

[dontpokethat]

"Well, I'd rather not get in trouble with Joker for distracting you."

Once Tyki is done giving Antlers that last pat, Ginko gives a slight wave and steps away, leading Antlers off to look around somewhere else.
