::Iole casually bumps Ren, making it seem accidental. His phone slips and fall into her hand::
Oops. Clumsy me. You're up next Ren. I'll hang onto this for you. Can't have it going off during your performance. That would ruin the illusion.
::She pushes him to the edge of the stage where Adrian is making his exit::
Adrian: Go knock 'em dead. I've got them all warmed up for you, so to speak.

Ren stumbles on the stage and falls down flat on his face. "Stupid kids." Ren muttered to himself as he sttod up on his feet. He looked at the crowd and winked. There was suddenly another Ren behind a child siting on the front. "How're you?" Ren said. He jumped back on the stage and and the other Ren held his hands together ont op of his head. The other Ren jumped on it and launched into the air.
"Pegasus is amazing!" A lady shouted from the audience.
Ren rocketed down into the other Ren and instantaneously the other Ren opened his mouth the ate the other Ren.
there was an expression of yuckiness from the crowd.
Ren was actually still on backstage with Iole and Kenny and the other two were clones. The clone exploded into confetti.
"That's mine." Ren said and grabbed the phone from Iole. "Well if you wanna phone the others, just type in their numbers in there. I'm sure you can manage." Ren said giving it back to Iole.

The group is interrupted when they hear an annoyingly shrill and familiar voice. "Well look who it is. I thought I recognized you... Pegasus." Nurse Takano, dressed in her street clothes approaches the others, apparently having snuck backstage. "Almost didn't recognize you guys in those get-ups."
Just behind her is another young woman with auburn hair, with a young man who has his arm around her shoulder. His clothes give him away in an instant as a Bowery Boy. "Well, well well," the ruffian leers down at Oliver. "It's Oliver right?" He openly laughs a big stupid horse-like laugh. "Always knew you'd find your calling with the other freaks." He points at the boy mockingly.
Takano slaps his wrist sharply. "Doug, behave. Marrissa, when are you going to teach your boyfriend to mind his manners?"
Marrissa kisses the Bowery boy's cheek playfully with a little more saliva than is necessary. "Baby, you told me no gang-fights today. Come on, this one's not even half your size."
Takano rolls her eyes at the couple and returns her attention to the others. "So what's the story behind this? Nice spots by the way Kenny."

"Wait!" Ren said shocked by the entrance of Nurse Takano. "You left already. And this plan is going to leak out to the others having this talkative woman with us." Ren walked to Nurse Takano."You shouldn't be here unless you have something important to give us or something that could help us."

"Really?" Takano tries to keep her smile intact, but the tone of her voice says she's starting to lose her patience with Ren as she places her finger on his lips to hold them closed. "Because last time I checked, this wasn't your show. I don't think the legendary and... very sexy Mongoose has a problem with me staying." She eyes Adrian up and down and raises her eyebrows mischievously. "Quite the crowd you got there."
If either Ren, Kenny or Iole look out into the crowd, they'll find the clone Rens wowing the crowd who all cheer and clap with excitement. But one member of the audience isn't amused and remains unmoving. He doesn't seem to even be watching the show. He stands in the middle of the crowd towards the front of the stage, clad in a tattered black robe. His hood is drawn so his face remains obscured, but something doesn't seem right about it. His mouth pokes out a little too far, hinting at a snout rather than a mouth. But his topaz eyes glow with an unnatural light beneath the hood, and they're pinned on the performers backstage.
"You guys okay?" Takano asks. "You look like you've just seen a ghost." When they look back at the crowd, the figure is gone.

"Yeah I sensed something strange but it must be my imagination from the past days." Ren said while dialing Sina's number. "I'll phone them and ask if they found something out."

::Iole points towards the crowd with a transfixed expression towards where the thing was just standing::
Guys... tell me you saw what I just saw.
::She searches the audience in vain for the phantom::
Must be the lack of sleep and all these nightmares I keep having.

The two Rens continue their freakish acts such as cutting each others heads with a saw, pulling out each others teeth, and torturing themselves.
Ren quickly runs for Iole. He reaches her and grabs her arm. "It's no use. He didn't leave anything. We shouldn't jump into things, like that, unplanned."

::Iole stares at Ren in shock, not so much that he had grabbed her arm but more from that it was him telling her not to jump into things unplanned. Since when was he the sensible one?. She shakes his arm off::
I wasn't going anywhere. I was just trying to see. Besides, Ollie and I are up next. Wait... so you saw him too?
::Then she makes a guess from the look on Ren's face, and the way he'd grabbed her arm, and she grins wide::
You know Ren... if I didn't know any better, I'd say the guy we just saw scared you a little.

"A little yeah, I'm not sure if he was the one who-" Ren said and shakes his head. "Never mind that." Ren smiled.

::Iole looks up at Ren and then back at the crowd, trying to find him again::
Was it just me, or did he look like... nah that's crazy. But... You know those pictures that were in Rena's notebook?

"Says the person wants who runs through the crowds looking for the hooded guy who she doesn't even know who was or what it was doing in there." Ren teased and walked back into the backstage. "You better get ready. You're up next, right?"

"You better hurry up, my performance will be over in a few minutes." Ren said patting Oliver's back.

::Iole gulps a little as she watches the fake Rens cease their act and start pulling out the set for the next act. The tightwires and bungie cords and trapeze are wheeled out onto the stage and Adrian steps out to announce the next act. Iole brushes her thoughts about the odd stranger and takes Oliver by the hand::
Yeah, come on Ollie. We're up next.
