2 tightropes walked - voice post

[freckleddoll]

Blimey, this apartment ain't 'alf large. Are they all like this? Can't get use t'havin' this much space. Wonder if Beast'd mind me sharin' her room. Real different from the tents. It's weird them bein' so high up too. Glad I've got a good head fer heights or I'd feel right strange. Nice of this place t'give us somewhere t'stay though, never thought I'd live somewhere like this.

T'other day, that was one of the curses, right? Frightened me stiff, all that noise an' fightin'. It was 'orrible, hope they ain't all like that.

Right, I wanted t'ask, someone told me there's an orphanage 'ere. Anyone knows who I can talk to 'bout givin' an 'and there maybe?

... it's almost weird. This. Room. Rooms.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, I know! S'almost like havin' a proper 'ouse. T'is a proper 'ouse, really. D'ya like it?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Um, I got a friend who works at the orphanage! I think they're hiring.

[freckleddoll]

Really? D'ya mind tellin' me her name, miss? Don't need a full-time job, already got one o' those, but I'd really like t'help out a bit if I could.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

I don't think that'd be a problem! My friend - Hikaru, by the way - used to just help there before they employed her. Looks like they're always accepting volunteers.

[freckleddoll]

Sounds good - s'what I want t'do, volunteer. 'ave a bit of free time now that there's no travellin' t'be done. I'll ask fer her then, miss, thanks!

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Anytime. It's really nice of you to do that. My name's Umi. What's yours?

[freckleddoll]

Nah, s'nothin', s'the least I can do. Nice t'meet ya, Umi! Y'can call me Freckles if ya like.

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

Us in a proper house.

You guys did real good. 'Course I like it.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

"Freckles"? Is that a nickname?

[freckleddoll]

Feels a bit like a dream, don't it?

'm glad you do! Bet we can make it feel real cosy between us.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, t'is! Cause of all the freckles I've got, see?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...Right. It's really cute! Why not use your real name, though?

Do your friends call you that?

[freckleddoll]

Some of 'em do. Either that or my circus name.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Circus? You're a performer? That's really neat!

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, tightrope walkin' mostly! S'what I do back 'ome. Managed t'get myself a job with the circus 'ere too.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just... WOW. That's gotta take a great deal of balance! Even more than fencing.

Then you're working for a friend of mine! It's great to see Road's already hiring new people for the crew!

[freckleddoll]

It does a bit. I practice lots, but I'm fine with heights so it ain't too bad.

Yeah, I think that's 'er name! Joker was th'one t'speak with 'er an' get us into the circus.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

This is great. I can't wait for the big event! You guys will really bring new life to that show. Have you been doing this for a long time?

[freckleddoll]

'ope so! The circus doin' well s'good fer all of us performers. Need t'check if there's any need of an animal tamer too. 'nother friend of mine arrived from 'ome a couple of days ago.

We've 'ad our own circus fer quite a while now, so yeah, we 'ave!

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

It's good that you got friends from your world here to keep you company!

Boy, sounds like this place's being helpful for once: Road inherits the circus and suddenly a whole crew of new performers drops by! I'm really happy.

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

Like a dream, yeah.

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

How'll we get the money? Joker said- A circus here, right?

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, wouldn't know what t'do without 'em. Was really worried when I turned up 'ere on my own at first.

It ain't that bad! The curses are a bit scary but we've never 'ad such a posh place t'stay before, and we're t'gether 't least, so that's alright.
