Oh oh it's magic you knoooow

Characters: Helios and anyone else
Open? Sure is!
Where: Town Square
When: RD 12, around the late afternoon
What: After everything that's happened the last few days Helios decides that lightening the mood is the least he can do. So without further ado have a magic show!
Warnings: Sawing of people in half. Except not.


[ Ladies and gentleman children of all ages! Today there is going to be some fantastical and fearsome creatures traipsing about the town square. But there’s no need to worry because they’re hardly real. Actually they’re more along the lines of being made of light but in fact they look incredibly real for something like that. What is the source of all these creatures you ask? Should you follow them to the small little gathering you'll find out that it's none other than Helios. He will be on a center wooden stage with his lovely assistant Ginia, looking out to the small, ever growing crowd of people. He’ll be wearing his traditional wizarding garb that he woke up with upon his arrival here, and he’ll even have an old gnarled branch for a wand. Helios will proceed to take off his hat and wave his wand around in a slightly exuberant fashion as he pulls out a snow white bunny from his hat. The crowd will cheer and clap offering up some coins and money for the stellar act. There's more tricks to be offered too. Such as making Ginia disappear or a card appear in someone's hand in the crowd. Whatever else anyone would want to offer up for him to do. He normally would never do this, especially because he’s not used to doing magic in front of so many people, but the little odd jobs and things he’s gotten over the course of the weeks being here have helped. Besides he had Ginia and Giles with him so that always helped.

Still Helios looks decidedly uncomfortable, tentative, and overall anxious even if he is managing a smile throughout the show. It's only when the crowd goes silent that a long wooden box is brought on to the makeshift stage. People unaccustomed to magic shows in general might not find the box all too exciting. But sawing someone in half is a bit…tricky even for Helios. And here he’ll give Ginia a shaky smile with a slight nod. Maybe after everything Ginia has been through this wasn’t the best course of action. Maybe, hopefully, someone else would stand up to take her place.
] And-and this last ending t-trick will require a volunteer. If-if anyone would like to offer themselves up. Otherwise I might have to use my assistant. B-But no need to worry! Everything is completely safe!

[ It ruins the suspense a little but, well, Helios doesn’t want to alarm anyone especially the guards or law enforcement of the city.

Once the magic show is over and most of the crowd is cleared away Helios will be up to talking to anyone who saw it over the orb or even stopped by in the town to see it in person.

((ooc; anyone can participate in this. Timelines do not apply! Also have your doods shout out random magic tricks for Helios to do. He is taking all offers!))

She gave him a sweet smile.

"It's wonderful of you to do such a kind thing."

Shoot!

[He actually snapped his fingers. Which surprised him because he couldn't actually remember doing it before.]

Maybe I can find the homebrew version in that book they gave me. It was a good show.

/Show business is a rough world./ [She never did go professional, but she remembers well enough how it was. While the crowd is still favorable to them, Ginia heads out again to collect a little more money, quickly filling up a hat with coins.]

/I think we did. This will take care of everything for at least a few weeks,/ [Ginia remarks when she brings back the full hat of money. It's quite impressive for a single show and subsequent shows could bring in more, but she sees how stressed Helios looks.] /I say we treat ourselves for a show well done, what do you think?/

"Perhaps," she agreed with a small nod. "But not everyone would have seen that need and seen fit to do something about it."

"Hn." Sasuke gave a little smirk--it was nice to have someone show interest in his eyes who didn't want to rip them from his skull and leave him to die.

"Unique to my family," he answered. "It's called the sharingan. It gives me perfect recall, enhances my fire, and I can see through most illusions."

He blinked again and released the sharingan--he didn't want to exhaust what little chakra he had. Just in case.

"We don't call it magic, though. We call it a bloodline limit."

[It's not as if they need that much money with the villagers willing to give them almost everything they need, but having a substantial amount saved up in case something happens is always good. Maybe they can hire a boat to take them to any other kingdoms or buy a boat of their own to go sailing.]

/Yes, we should. I'm sure he'd like to come with us./ [Because the more the merrier. Even if she still has the feeling of running and leaving them behind, she knows she really couldn't. It would break Giles' heart too much and hurt Helios as well and she can't do that to them. She needs a reason to keep on going and they're as good a reason as any.]

/Maybe next time we can get Giles to provide some musical accompaniment. Or be an announcer. Our merry band of three./
tatra: (So cute~)

Tatra smiled and giggled.

"Have you eaten yet today?"
tatra: (Cup of tea?)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-07-31 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well didn't that just figure? She smiled a bit wider.

"Let me treat you! To repay you for the show."
tatra: (Smiling eyes)

"Oh, don't be ridiculous," she scolded him gently. "I have more money than I know what to do with here. It may as well go to some use."

/You know Giles is when it comes to crowds./ [Even after all this time, Giles was still one to hang along the edges or avoid crowds outright. But he was getting a better about things.

She smiles, tiredly, but still a real smile.]


/I should thank you for the wonderful opportunity to help. I did enjoy it. Besides... I can't change the things I did. All I can do is see what life brings me here, right?/
bondsoflove: (my own secret ceremonials)

Sasuke nodded. "Yeah--there are other families whose limits are in their eyes, but it's not what all bloodline limits are. Sometimes, it allows you to meld two different elements into something unique--take wind chakra and water chakra and create ice techniques, for example."

[Eliot grins at the younger man, a playful gleam in his eyes.]

On the box or in it?
