The "Extraordinary" Circus. [Inactive]

Vineres smiled, nodding and grabbing the girl's hand. "I'd love to!" She said, before walking them to the nearby table. Sitting across from her, Vi thought through what possible accents she could use on the girl. After a moment, she looked her in the eyes and stiffened up.


"Sunt încântat de circ în seara asta. Multe spectacole va aduce de mirare pentru ochii muritorilor."


Trying her best to imitate her families' thick Romanian accent, Vineres said 'I am exited for the circus tonight, the performances of many will bring wonder to mortal eyes.'


For tonight, there would be plenty of people coming, so she wanted to make sure Flow was ready for anything.

Flow sat smiling as Vinere's spoke to her in her native tongue, enjoying the foriegn emphasis on certain words, and the purring of certain vowels.


She sat absorbing the sounds-almost literally- as she heard the equivalant word in english, learning the substitution of each word, the flowing nature of language being something that was very compatable with her mind; she didnt necessarily remember language for a long time, but she did pick it up extremely fast in the middle term.


After an hour or so of practise, she could speak the language as if she were a native in terms of accent, though her word pool was relatively limited.


"I don't know if all that many visitors will speak your language, but the speech of your homeland is stoic but beautiful. Thankyou, sister dearest" She said, before adding in english "Im going to go check on Koa, see how he's getting on with his transforming. If it's painful, he could do with some moral support."

Koa


I had already completed three full shifts in an hour, going from human to bear, bear to human, human to wolf, wolf to human, human to German Shepard, and then Shepard to human. I was currently curled up on my side on the floor in human form. I was sweaty, tired, and in some serious pain. Everything hurt. My hair, my skin, my bones, my muscles, and my head. I didn't know what was worse: the physical pain or the mental pain. With every shift the two parts of me, beast and human, battle until one side conquers the other side.


I grunted in pain as I rolled onto my stomach and shakily pushed myself up onto my hands and knees. I closed my eyes and pictured a white tiger running through the forest. I felt my muscles begun to tighten and I let out a sigh "Here we go again..."


I cried out in pain, which sounded more like a roar that a human cry, when the first of my ribs began to crack and expand to make room for a tigers bigger heart and lungs.


(Florence will most likely walk in while he's in mid shift and in a lot of pain... Just to let you know he might be unstable and under the beasts control... )

Nodding to the girl, she remembered their mother's warning from the previous moments.


"Florence, do not go in there. You may see him, but don't try and help him physically. He is very unstable. And we both know what he is capable when it isn't him thinking, when he's not there. You can ift up the flap but don't step through the barrier mother has set up." She warned, worried that Florence's kind heart would make a tragic turn for events.


"Would you life me to accompany you?"

"Well, unless he tries to drink me I think I'll be alright. But alright, I'll be careful." She said putting a reassuring hand on Vinere's shoulder. "I think I should probably go by myself...if he's an animal, they get spooked by lots of people. Good job im good with animals though."


She gave Vinere's a brief hug, and then wandered towards the 'cell' Koa was housed in, which pretty much looked liked a square set of tent fabric.


"Koa." She sang gently to make him aware of his presence. "Hullo Koa, 're you alright?"


Crouching down, she lifted up the fabric of the tent, being sure to pull it out outwards so she was slightly outside of the square.

Koa


I groaned, arching my back as I shifted more and more. Fur, white and black, pushed through my skin as the tigers form took over and cloaked my human form. As a tiger, I shook out my fur and stretched, getting use to the new body. When I heard a voice I crouched down and let out a snarl in warning.


Exhausted and in pain, the animal side was in control right now. That meant that I was very guarded and a very dangerous animal. My stance grew shakier and limper from my exhaustion. I saw the fabric of the tent being pulled up and out then eyes connecting with my glowing yellow cat eyes. I started to pull back my lips to expose my teeth but instead I collapsed to the ground, my over-used muscles literally giving out. I landed on my side with a huff, determined to keep my eyes open as I watched the stranger before me.

Momentarily Florence looked at the majestic creature with its regal orange and black stripes, having never seen a tiger before, before yelping in concern as the tiger fell over, exhausted.


Biting her lip in concern, she put her hand through the barrier and slowly, carefully put her hand on Koa's head soothingly.


"It's alright Coaco. You rest up and I'll go fetch you something to cool you down, alright?"

Vineres hung around, helping the others put up final touches and practice their performances.


"Darling, where is Florence?" Dragos asked, surprising Vineres by tapping her on the shoulder with a vine.


"She went to go see Koa I believe. I told her to just sit on the outside of the tent." She said, turning around curiously.


"Alrighty dear." He said, nodding. "I'm going to go fetch her. I need her to help me with final stage sets."


With that, Dragos turned and left.

Koa


The animal side of me wanted to snap at her hand and snarl but finally the human side began to struggle to the surface. Human finally won over and I dropped my head onto the ground with a huff. My eyes slowly changed from glowing yellow of the tiger to the steel grey and gold of my real eyes, showing that the human side had control.


When Florence started to get up to get something to cool my down I shook my head and placed a paw on her arm. I then pushed myself up on all fours, shaking slightly, and bounded up onto the large bed in the center of the room. I curled up on my side on one end of the bed before looking up at Florence as if asking if she wanted to come and sit down. I laid my head down on my paws and let out a little puff of air.

Flow stared for a moment, not because she didn't trut him, she just didnt like doing things she'd been told not to do.


After a moment of a wrinkle creasing her forehead she her caring side won out, and she pulled up the curtain.


"Okay, I trust you Coacoa. I dunno what orange stripey dogs eat, but Im not even made of meat so I dont think you'll like me very much, alright?"


Stepping over the threshhold, she walked along the room to Koa and sat on the bed having to jump up a little, her legs hanging off of the side of the bed.


Reaching out she patted his head softly, stroking her thumb through the soft fur,

Dragos shuffled to the tents, leaving Vineres to do what she wished. His mid was still reeling with yesterday's actions. Honestly, the old man couldn't figure out how she's let herself do it. He thoughts he had taught her well on monitoring forces, but perhaps she simply hadn't been paying attention. When the thought of Flow's innocence sparked in his mind, he moved a little faster. She was far to swee to understand when it's better for Koa to hurt.


Arriving at the tent, he didn't see her body outlined in the canvas sheen anywhere, so lifting up the fabric he let himself in.

Koa


I was enjoying the rub of my fur so much that I placed my huge tiger head on her lap. Everything was calm and peaceful until I heard the sound of feet and saw the tent flap being lifted up. I jumped out if the bed, landing in front of Florence. I faced the intruder as my mind fuzzed over with the need to protect the girl as well as my still healing body. I stalked forward, letting a deep feline snarl rumble from my chest.


As a animal in mind, I was ready to kill or seriously maim any threat to me or the one I was protecting. The human side of me was no longer close to the surface but in fact buried deep under the animalistic feeling and notions. My muscles tensed, ready to hurl my body into a whirlwind of pain for the person before me. I almost started to smirk, as much as a tiger can, when I realized the 'threat' is an old man. "This will be easy and quick." I said cockily to myself with a slight chuckle.

Florence looked up in suprise as the fabric lifted to reveal Drago, and then gave a little yelp as Koa stepped forward agressively, seemingly with the intent of protecting her.


With a rush of water her shape gave way into a wave of rushing water, and she reformed infront of Koa, between him and the old wood sprite.


Her happy face uncharacteristically stern and commanding, she spoke in an authorative manner, staring straight into Koa's eyes.


"Koa. Calm down and sit."
