::Iole has the nerve to pretend to be surprised::
Mischief? Me? Would I really do such a thing?

"Hate to break it to you but you really are a magnet of trouble." Ren said at Iole. "Top it off with Oliver you'd be one hell of an electric rod for worse things."

You're a fine one to talk. So Adrian, when does this show of ours start?

"I guess we should start as soon as possible. I don't want the others seeing us dressed up in this ridiculous Gypsy costumes."

Adrian lets out a sarcastic laugh. "Yea, Ren, we gypsy's always wear leotards. It's a cultural thing." He roll his eyes. He claps his hands together and smiles then. "Ah, glad you asked, I reserved the outdoor stage in the theater district for this afternoon but, we need to go and practice again. Remember, Ren, you are key in all this." Adrian approaches Ren, placing his hand on Ren's shoulder. "It'll be your job to work the crowd, draw people in. Spook them, do weird things, bite the head off the prop chicken, etc... just keep drawing in passerby's and... keep an eye out for the man you saw that night. I know it was dark, but maybe if you spot him in the crowd, it will all come back to you!" He turns sharply to face Iole and Oliver. "You have it easy, you're small, agile so you'll be manning the wires above the crowd -try not to fall-, just put on a show, flips, catches, tightrope, whatever. We went over it before, shouldn't be any problem. Just remember what I showed you. Always remain vigilant though, you're our eyes in the sky." He walks over to Kenny. "You and me are the main attraction, keeping their attention focused away from the others as they scan the crowds. I'll be calling you out first, the props are already set up. Just do the most stereotypical strong guy routine you can think of. I got a bendable metal rod, weights that aren't as heavy as they look, and always show off the muscles like you're getting paid for it." Turning around, he addresses the group. "I'll be the announcer, introducing you all to the crowd and I will open with my bit first, flaming swords just beg for attention! Alright, we ready to go do a few practice bit down at the theater?" ((Will be late tonight, lodge meeting, so Lillith or other, move us there and get it set up if you will ))

"Sure, whatever." Ren said. "Can you at least change my name, I mean Gorgo sounds like one of those mythological freaks."

"Well I guess i'm ready, are you ready sis?" :Kenny looked a bit nervous but kept his smile though he still looked a bit foolish in the uniform while shaking his hands a bit:

(OOC: Haha! Ren, you totally set yourself up for this. I'll move us into the show if you don't mind me giving Adrian a few lines)
::The motley crowd of people in the theater district gather around the outdoor stage. Some of the younger spectators seem eager for it to start, while the older ones in the crowd are just glad to have a break from their usual monotonous routine. But for some, this is a chance to get their mind off the grim happenings that have made headlines for months now. Even this morning, the announcement that Adrian had given to the newspaper had been pushed to a small corner of page 4G thanks to the still highest ranking Lindblum headliner; "The Autumn Harvester". An article speculating whether or not his killings will cease now that Fall is giving way to Winter was published for today's issue. But the lack of publicity doesn't seem to have hurt their turnout. All the citizens brave enough to venture out of their homes, despite their ever growing fear and the biting cold, are gathered in the Theater district, buzzing with excitement as Adrian steps up to center stage::
Adrian: Ladies and gentleman of Lindblum! You are all welcome to gather around the stage, but I advise against standing too close, for the festivities that will take place on this stage, this arena of the arts, is not for the faint of heart! For on this stage, you will find that man can do anything! He may lose his mind, he may learn to lift loads a hundred times his weight, he may even learn to let fire pass through his throat. Here, even children can find that they have the unbelievable within them, and learn to fly. And on this stage today, we are going to test what man has always believed to be his limits! For today, we will be featuring the barbaric Barbarossa, strongest man in the world, The talented and tenacious masters of the tightwire Knife and Shadow, and the most bizzare, truly the most mind bending freak on this side of Alexandria, Pegasus! But first I shall amaze you with talents of my own. You may have seen me before, the legendary fire-eating Mongoose!
::Meanwhile backstage, Iole and the others wait for their calls::
Overdoing it a bit isn't he?

"You say it Iole. 'Pegasus'? My name is gay. He's probably one that's why he came up with that for me." Ren said peeking with Iole from backstage. "He's narcissistic, if you ask me. He's the legendary fire breather, yeah, fire breather over the mirror. He might burn himself."

::Iole chuckles::
Actually, the name was my idea. Sorry, but you wouldn't stop bitching about the one we gave you.
::The crowd outside can be heard expressing their amazement as Adrian performs with his flaming swords. He spins one into the air before catching it and sliding it smoothly into his throat. Then he pulls out the blade which has been extinguished and breathes a cloud of flames at the audience::
He's good. So Kenny, I've been meaning to ask you. You and Lillith are still engaged right? You know I kind of expected you guys to be married when I came back. Maybe even have a baby. I mean, it's been a few years now. What gives?

"You're gay then." Ren said looking down at Iole. "I'll add something to what I said; He is stupid too. He took the idea you gave him." Ren was intently looking at the crowd looking for, in case, the attacker.

That was very mature. And Eva thinks I need to get spanked?

"Indeed. You wouldn't understand adult talk that much." Ren laughed. There was a long silence. "Just kidding! Hahahahahahahahaha!" Ren laughed

::Iole stamps her foot and jabs her finger into his chest repeatedly while she speaks, standing on her toes so she can get in his face::
Someone who sputters out sentence fragments and feels the need to put an exclamation point on the end of everything has no business criticizing my etiquette. I'll bet I'm three grade-reading levels ahead of you, and you're supposed to be five years my senior. So if it's a battle of wits you're looking for, I will stamp you underneath my feet like the little unsightly, pestilential, pus-filled parasite you are.

:Kenny sat there as Iole asked him about Lillith and why they are not married yet. He loved Lillith so much, he did however promised her about growing up though, he was still young when he proposed but they agreed to wait until the time is right:
"To be honest, We like to keep waiting, I love her and I think we should keep it in wait till its right for marriage, I never meant to rush things, i'd like to wait till its the right time. But having children?" :He blushed at that thought: "I'm not sure about that yet"

::Iole leans against the wall next to him. With him sitting they're about the same height::
Alright, I understand the part about kids. But it's been awhile, and I say you've grown up a bit. And Lillith already talks like she's some old lady. I mean, whose idea was it to wait anyway? Was it yours or hers?

:Kenny thought about what Lillith told him back at Costa after the loss of Natalia which made him sniff a bit:
"She said that we both have a lot of growing up to do, and actually I believed that is a good idea for both of us. But i still wait for whenever it comes. We have grown quite a bit."

::Iole nods, analyzing what Kenny just said in her head::
So long story short, you're going to wait until she says it's okay. Well that's just great. And while you're doing that, I'm going to the shop to buy you a little skirt and a little leash and then we can call you princess.
::She gets off the wall and kneels down in front of Kenny so they're eyes can meet::
Look Kenny, you're the man in this relationship. Now there are times where you have to listen to your woman, and then there are times where you need to take control. Show her who wears the pants. Because if you let her give you the run around now, she'll have the upper-hand for your whole marriage. Now look, Lillith may sound like she wants to wait. But I'll tell you what she really wants. She wants you to step up and take charge. Show her that you can be decisive. Be a little more aggressive. Love is war man! Now I say the next time you see her, you march right up to her and demand an answer!
::She pauses for a moment, realizing with panic just how literally Kenny seems to take things::
Well maybe not now, you know? I mean this isn't exactly the best time with maniacs running loose killing people and setting stuff on fire, but you get my meaning right?

Ren walks beside Kenny. "Don't worry she'll definitely be fine. Plus they said they'll be back. I'm sure she wants to see you too. I'll call Sina and ask her to send Lillith on so she could talk to you." Ren said and turned on his phone.
