8 tightropes walked - video/action

[There's a bright blue eye showing up as Doll holds the network device to her face, pressing at buttons randomly to try and find out what it is.

Soon there's a better view of her as she holds it further away. She's sitting on the ground in the place where she'd agreed to meet up again with Beast, a small bag of food by her side. She's wearing worn but clean clothes, and as she tilts her head away from the camera to look longingly at the food, a hint of her scars shows from underneath her hair.]

Wonder if Beast'll get 'ere soon. 'ope she's alright.

[She curls up a bit more with her arms around her knees, waiting for her older sibling to show up and completely unaware that the device is broadcasting.]

((ooc: age reversal curse, action if anyone wants to bump into her, voice/video otherwise. This is after this thread.))

Honestly? I think I understand magic more than technology, so I'm with you.

Okay... good. If you're sure.

Don't really understand either of 'em...

...woulda talk t'me till she's 'ere?

So long as the people who use both of them know what they're doing, I think that's good enough.

Sure! What do you like to talk about?

Yeah, guess so!

...dunno. We're gonna be startin' a circus soon.

That sounds neat. What kind of circus act do you do, Doll?

Not sure yet! Goin' t'try lot of stuff. Maybe jugglin'...or the tightrope!

Juggling would be cool. I dated a guy who could juggle five things at once... I mean, that was his only talent, so I guess he wasn't that great, but it was pretty impressive.

You look like a tightrope walker to me.

'd like t'be able ta juggle properly! Guess I'll 'ave t'learn all sorts of new things.

D'ya really think so?

But learning to juggle would be fun! It's not like learning... advanced calculus, or anything like that.

I really do. I'm not an expert, though, so you might want a second opinion.

We need ta do everythin' real professional like. S'goin' t'be a real show, one of the best circuses, yeah? Can't just think of it as fun.

You don't need to not have to fun to be professional, right?

Yer right...but it's real important t'us that it works out!

It will. Things usually work out, one way or another.

Who else is in your circus?

There's Beast, an Joker's gonna be ringleader cause he's right smart. Peter an' Wendy an' Jumbo and Dagger're are takin' part too.

And Beast is the friend you're looking for, right? ...What does she look like?

Yeah! She's real pretty, got black 'air. An'...she's on crutches.

Gotcha. I'll tell you if I see her, okay? Hopefully, though, she'll find you herself.

A'right! Was s'posed t'meet 'er here, hope she ain't lost.

Don't worry... she'll be there soon, I bet. Maybe she just took a wrong turn.

Maybe I should go an' look...

No! That's the worst thing you can do if someone's looking for you! What if both of you walked around looking for each other for the rest of the day?

But 'm worried! What if she's too tired t'get back 'ere!

How about you stay where you are and I'll go look around? She should be easy to find.

Would ya really do that?

Of course! Stay where you are, okay?
