Circus Circus! (closed)

Later that day, the Circus Circus! had a matinee event as the sign saying "Circus Circus!" was lit. There were all kinds of performers... Acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns... one in particular looked so much like a majin that he could have been taken as a mockery of the race, which of course Circus Circus! would never do intentionally. The circus was filled with onlookers cheering, children loudly playing, and the occasional animal sounds from the caged lions and tigers, elephants, horses, and bark of howl from some unseen dog. It was messy too with popcorn and peanuts getting thrown about. It was pretty rare for anyone of the crowd of on lookers to not get covered with something. Most of them didn't notice, because they were having too much fun. The circus master announced the trapeze act. If anyone was paying attention, they might notice a brown haired girl giving off a small power signature peeking out from a curtain admiring an act that she helped put together, perhaps a tad careless for a budokai hopeful. Besides that, the thought running through her head were lyton's words that if won the tournament, he would make her a performer, which was one of her dreams. She was not at all confident of winning since she had not even fought anyone or anything that wasn't made of wood or cloth. She would just have to take it one match at a time and hope to keep getting lucky.

It is a fine afternoon as a bird outside is sitting on the lit up Circus Circus sign. It seems to be a common sort of light brown bird. It sings merrily as things inside begin to heat up. A while passes before anything happens so Faustus might think no response was coming. However, a few moments later, a well groomed, black haired man in his early 30s comes out dressed in a tux and a name tag saying "Lyton Lydel, owner". He seems to be appraising the majin and then he walks up to the majin. "Sir, please don't make a scene. People came to enjoy themselves. Can we go somewhere a bit quieter to discuss why you are upset and what we can do to improve your experience at Circus Circus!? If you don't mind, I will have security accompany us for your safety. May I have your name, Sir?" Rei watches the exchange in case she is needed. Everyone knew Lyton's security was rather ineffectual against any real threat and this stranger definately seemed to fit in as that. What made matters worse is that Rei just saw Lulu enter the back stage portion of the main tent.

Rei moved to try and intercept Lulu and tell her it was about to get dangerous. It was clear that she was trying to find Lyton. There were two entrances to the performance area and she could not possibly cover them both.

Meanwhile, Lyton started to feel like he was about to get a whole lot more than he could deal with. Still, this was HIS business and he intended to stand up for it. Besides surely the 4 of them could deal with this... thing if it decided to do some violence. Besides, Rei was undoubtedly nearby. "F...follow me then."

Lyton led the Majin out of the tent and into his personal trailer. Victor, the strong man, who wasn't due to perform for half an hour, and two others were already seated. The two others had name tags that said security on them.

Rei watched as Lyton and the Majin left the tent. She still had a bad feeling. Crap! the brief distraction had caused Rei to lose sight of Lulu!  Rei shrugged and followed Lyton and the Majin from a considerable distance but close enough to keep an eye on them.  When Lyton and the Majin entered the trailer where Victor and trhe others were sure to be waiting, she stood in front of the door, should Lulu come this way but not so close that she might be hit by the door.

Rei heard a commotion inside. The moment she knew was coming but hoped wasn't coming was here. She burst through the door, taking it of its hinges. She saw that the Majin had slammed Lyton into the wall of the trailer. She grabbed him and teleported them both to an empty field she could see from Lyton's trailer window. She could not believe she was rescuing Victor. Victor was the circus strong man and had a drinking problem. He really was a mean drunk. She considered him a bully (and she hated bullies, even though he never did anything bully like when he was sober.

She appraised the being before her. He had pink skin and a look of triumph and rage upon his face. It was a different kind of rage from what she was feeling. She should be intimidated, she knew. However, at the moment she felt nothing but rage and desperation. She may not like everyone in this circus, but they were family for sure!

“My name is Rei, but you can call me the last thing you are going so see on this Earth!” With a yell she hammered him in the face with a ki-controlled punch.
