★ 97th Butterfly ★ {Warded to the Circus Performers & Workers // Open to the Pumpkin King}

[proudbutterfly]

Small mercies in kind curses for some are dull events for others. Complains and thanks gracing the pages of the Network endlessly since the first week of this month. Ohhh. Why speak about what was or wasn't when there's what could be?

There's something more of importance on the horizon for this week! Allhallows Eve! The Circus Carnivore nocturnal

Follow the white rabbit?

Moood the rabbit

[proudbutterfly]

Look down. ♥

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

[Y halo thar, rabbit. The rabbit sits up, sniffs at her, flicks an ear, turns around and begins to hop away...

Of course she follows.]

Wait up, stupid rabbit!

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

[The rabbit doesn't listen and quickens its speed, crossing the circus from the quarters to the animal "cages" department.

There's a top hat dropped in the floor and the bunny rushes to its internal folds to vanish. In a wink, Mad Hatter appears and picks up the hat with hir cane. Tilting slightly, the demon welcomes Kurai.]

Dead end, Alice. One's pleased to see you, Princess.

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

[You'd think Kurai would be used to this kind of appearing act--but not quite. She still jumps a little at it.]

Hatter!!

[A little calmer because curiosity almost always gets the better of her...]

Okay, so I followed the rabbit.

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

Princess!!

[Mimics the jumpy tone of voice.]

So you came to greet us. What an honor. Isn't that so? Look who is back.

[In that moment, a shadow begins to move, Hatter's magic had the great lizard charmed to hide as a chameleon. It has grown last two years, but the dragon is still young for his kind's lifespan]

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

[Give her a moment, yes, yes, it is what she thinks it is...]

Hatter! A dragon?!

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

[Pats the dragon's leg with hir cane]

All yours, Princess.

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

[Dragon dragon dragon! She runs up to the dragon--it seems safe, seems tamed, more or less. Much as dragons ever are. She knows dragons. Can't be Dragonmaster and not. She stops just short of it and lets it come to her.

It bends its long neck to her and she strokes its nose, getting closer. Dragon...dragon... It's smart and it's cute. Of course she has to hug it.]

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

Your baby is a star!

[Mad Hatter tells, leaving the girl have her fun with her dragon.]

All this time, one has trouble to find a suitable rider!

[The demon tosses the dragon a large bone that, closely, looks like a human femur. The beasts catches and gnaws at it. Oh, the dreadful search for good performers]

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

I can ride him!

[Huuuuuuug the dragon.]

He's just little. He doesn't know much yet.

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

One's so very happy to know you'll ride him. The little devil hatched just for you, Your Highness.

[Leans on the tail.]

And there's a promotional aerial ride one has in mind to present you as his definitive master.

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

You hatched him? Where'd you get his egg from?

[The dragon shoves at her shoulder with his head.]

Oh, is the thing you wanted me to do for Halloween?

1/2 Action!

[proudbutterfly]

...One looks like Dragon Mama?

Action!

[proudbutterfly]

A pet store! Where else you would find a baby dragon for one's dear Princess?

[Nods and rocks body up. Sie stands and opens hir arms wide.]

A message written in fire in the sky. An invitation for the Pumpkin King's special show the Circus will host in All Hallows Night!

Action!

[evil_tsundere]

They sell dragons around here?

Firey letters in the sky, huh?

[She rubs the dragon's head.]

Yeah, I think we can do that!
