Let the Cirque du Vrai begin!

OOC: The event starts today. It affects Attleton. Players can make their own posts and have fun with it or they can reply to this post with top levels and have fun that way! Up to you! There will be a separate log posted for the Showstopper on the 29th. If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the Showstopper, please check out the event details and remember that sign-ups for the Showstopper close tonight at 11:59pm PST.

Please note that if your character tries to enter the circus without a mask and costume (cannot be something your character already owned because it's not a disguise if it's theirs), they'll be prevented from getting in one way or the other. Don't try to get around it and don't try to be like WELL NO ONE CAN STOP MY CHARACTER!! If your character goes right past them they'll find themselves in the field the next day the second they go past the gates, capiche?? No cheating it's not fun for anyone.

As the sun sets in Attleton, a strange haze seems to glow over the barrier for a few moments before in the distance, a sequence of lights flickers on. The entrance sign first, then tents and merry-go-rounds and booths and all manner of dizzying fun illuminate just as darkness falls. It doesn't take more than a few seconds for the sounds of cheers and fun to fill the Attleton air. It almost seems like it's calling to you, inviting you in. As you approach, a man on stilts greets you. He explains that the flyers that have been floating around town with the wind and on the walls were all for this, the Cirque du Vrai! Become someone else to become yourself, step right up! You don't need to buy a ticket, you just need to buy a costume.

"There's a costume shop right next to the entrance for those who aren't prepared, and a master mask maker who will create any mask you desire, or leave it up to him once he decides what he thinks suits you. If you brought your own, that's fine too! The Cirque is here for days, there's time to spare! Don't let reservations drive you to despair! You'll miss out on fun if you let your life run all over the mystery we've so prestigiously spun. Test your skills, test your wills, find your chills, thrills, and pills. Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for is just beyond the gate! Accept who you are and you'll need none to commiserate!"

The man laughs, leaving before you can ask what that means to invite another in, and the game begins. Welcome to the Cirque du Vrai. Enjoy.

[His immediate response when she gasps and pulls away is to freeze and hold his breath. Shit, now he's done it, he's pushed her too far and she's going to start screaming. When it's a pleased giggle that follows he heaves a sigh of relief, and kisses her again, several times in quick succession. They aren't as sensual or as intimate or as careful as the first, but then their purpose is different. They're kisses of gratitude for not freaking out, and of fondness and general relief, rather than kisses of seduction. Namur leans back on his elbows, catching his breath (now for more than one reason), and laughs at himself.]

Well, shit. If the champagne's half as good as that I think I might convert t' bein' a fancyass on the regular.

*Sonico's expression is bright with how happy she is feeling after that kiss. It's quite a shame that he probably can't see how happy her eyes are. She giggles again as he kisses her, lighter and quicker, her arm gently stroking his arm. Sonico leans up to sit a little more on the grass, blushing pink again at his comment*

So...that means that you liked it? Did I do an okay job kissing you back?

Gonna get me sloshed off my ass, yer that intoxicatin'.

[Namur reaches up to cup her jaw in his palm, and leans forward again, this time to whisper in her ear.]

Already got me cravin' more...

[He tugs at the lobe of her ear with measured roughness; he can be gentle, sure, but he is not human, and she would do well to remember that.]

*If she looks very pleased, she really can't help it. It's just too good to hear that he enjoyed it too. She happily allows him to touch her face, closing her eyes as she hopes he's moving in for more kisses. But then this is quite the pleasant aurprise! She doesn't know what this feeling is that gets her all flustered, but she likes it. Though she really doesn't know what to do next, just blushing and biting her lip and staring while she thinks*

Oh! The champagne!

What 'bout it?

[Sorry, Sonico. He's only about 15% actually listening. The rest of him is completely focused on keeping her flustered and quivering against him. From her ear he moves back down to the side of her neck, his hand roaming from the side of her face down to rub her arm, ready to smooth any goosebumps she might get.]

Well...

*So she starts to speak, but soon forgets what she's talking about because she is more focused on other matters. Her eyes close and she sighs as he moves back to her neck, shivering slightly too at how sensitive her skin felt. Her arms are indeed goosebumped, though hidden beneath the cardigan she bought to hide her healing scars. Suddenly, it feels far too warm for that though.

Oh, yeah, was she talking about something?*

It's... the...

[He shushes her with another kiss, wrapping both arms around her to pull her close as he sits a little more upright. The result? Being unceremoniously dragged into his lap. Sonico isn't the only one sighing contentedly now. Namur squeezes her tight for a moment, then lets his hands drift up and down her back, rubbing and pressing at the muscles and soft skin through the cloth of her dress. He chuckles deep in his throat, taking pleasure in the fact that he's making it hard for her to focus on anything else.]

Really wanna change the subject right now, sweetheart? Cuz I think we're havin' a damn fine conversation already.

*With this next kiss, Sonico is perhaps a little more...active with her response. She wants to prove to him that she can be a good kisser, wants him to enjoy it as much as she is. Sitting in his lap like that is a whole new experience in itself - she has never had so much physical attention in her life. His touches are met with soft sighs, some occasionally more like moans. Finally, she looks at him, quite bewildered, her hands happily exploring the muscle of his arms*

Oh...This is fine. This is really fine.

*Then, somehow, one of her hands trails its way onto his chest*

Oh yeah-

[Namur hums, pressing his chest forward against her hand. He loves being touched as much as he loves touching, so naturally when she starts getting a little braver he'll do what he can to encourage her. He shifts his arms down farther around her waist, and keeps rubbing at her muscles there, or over her hips and thighs. Even with the dress in the way, he loves the way she curves, the way she feels against him. With any luck, she'll find his harder curves equally as appealing, and then they'll really be getting somewhere. Better without the shitty breastplate in the way, but oh well. If she's content to keep going, they'll get that off eventually.]

Been dreamin' a gettin' y' like this. Don't want it t' end.

*It really is a shame, all that armour preventing her hands from exploring. They go wherever there is flesh, finger tips tickling or palms smooth across*

Oh really?

*Whether it was her own excitement, or the circus, or both, Sonico is feeling a little braver and pushes herself closer against his breastplate*

Then maybe if you kiss me again it will last a little longer...

[It's more of a decorative thing, so Sonico won't be disappointed in her wanderings. Namur blushes, but manages to look at her critically in spite of it.]

Hmmmm damn. Drive a hard bargain. Ain't got no choice but t' take y' up on it.

[He does exactly as negotiated, nipping and pressing his mouth up against her lips, over and over again.]

*When she is done with her hands wandering here and there, Sonico looks him steadily in the eye*

Isn't a hard bargain always worth it in the end?

*Sonico grins against his mouth, more than happy to receive as many kisses as he was willing to give her. There's a sense that after midnight she will go back to quiet and reserved, so she wants all she can get*
