Nurse Takano squeals in delight. "Awe how cute! A couple act!"
"Isn't that precious." The Bowery boy sneers, pulling Marrissa tighter to him. "Baby Ollie has a girlfriend." Oliver leers back at the older boy at the implication. "What's the matter Ollie? You gonna cry?"
Oliver clenches his fists and growls under his breath. "She no' me girl, she no'."
"Hey chill. I just thought of how cool it would be for you to take her to the festival. You didn't forget did you? You Shawnkills are the hype of the evening. Everyone knows you're the Doc's favorites. Sure your pretty lady would love a party." The Bowery Boy grins with his crooked yellow teeth. What Marissa sees in him is a mystery to everyone else.

"Yuck." Ren said in disgust seeing the teeth of the boy.

Adrian returns to the back stage and gives the Bowery Boy a dagger-eye stare. "Hey! You two." Pointing to the Bowery Boy and Marrissa. "You're disrupting the show; Oliver, Iole, get out there, I'll deal with these two."
He ushers Oliver and Iole to the stage, turning then back to the two annoyances. "Don't appreciate people harassing my performers, so unless you have some to contribute, I'll have to ask you to leave. If you want to continue this later, then do it after the show."

Ren smirks at the boy. And then turns at the props and starts to fix it.

The Bowery Boy and Marrissa smirk at the gypsy's threat. "We were just leaving." the girl says curtly.
"Show sucks anyway." the boy says back. The two of them turn tail and leave the way they came, leaving only a very apologetic Takano.
"I'm sorry about them Adrian. I always knew Marrissa would end up with a gang-banger. That girl's going to wind up dead in an ally if she doesn't sprout a brain soon. Just ignore them. I'll be watching these little cuties from the front row." She ruffles the tops of Oliver and Iole's head before turning to leave. She passes Kenny just before she goes and grins mischievously. "I can't wait to see your act Baron." She raises her eyebrows a few times before sticking a red lollipop in Kenny's mouth. "Break a leg." She's just about to leave when she remembers something. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I'm going to that Festival too. It sounds like fun! Marrissa talked me into it, but I'm afraid I don't have a date. Who wants to go with me?" The men in the group seem hesitant to answer, with good reason, so she decides to give them a little more incentive. "You might find something interesting there about the person you're looking for, and I happen to know someone who's in tight with the Bowery Boys. Just think of me as your hot blond double agent."

::As Iole readies to take her place on stage, waiting for Adrian's announcement to finish, she tosses a worried glance at Oliver who is still watching the Bowery boy who came with Takano leave with clenched fists and gritted teeth. She tugs him to the side of the stage and tries to change the subject::
So Ollie... what was that festival he was talking about?

Oliver nearly looses his balance when Iole grabs him, being so focused on the Bowery Boy, and stumbles backwards.
He growls once before looking to Iole. "Yea..." He grunts, still upset. "Ta Fest'val of St. Stephen... 'ave'it ever'year after ta'urst snow fal. All ta gangs of Lindblum ges'togeher and hold it in one of ta old warehouses, sort-a truce thin'. Cou'le yea's back, big gang war an mass'car happen 'round tis time, los of dead. So now ins'ead, we 'ave tis festival."

::Iole gets in Oliver's face with a conspiratorial grin::
So you mean, it's sort of like a party? Will there be dancing?

Oliver chuckles lightly upon Iole's reaction.
"Aye, be danc'in alri'ht. Los of it, an food an'wat-not. So...." He draws the word on. "I gu'ss ya wan'a come then?"

::Iole surprises Oliver by clapping him on the back and saying boisterously::
You sly dog, I'd love to be your date! Come on, we're up next.

"Go go!" Adrian ushers of Iole and Oliver, scooting them towards the stage. "Go get em!"
As the performance carries on, Adrian watches from behind the curtain, waiting for that opportune moment to address the crowd and when that opportunity arrives, he darts onstage for the finale.
((Gonna speed this up cause I am running dry on ideas here))
Sometime after the show, during the clean-up, Adrian addresses the group. "Alright, had a few snags and some set backs but, it went fairly smooth all-in-all, great work all! Now, what was the deal with the odd man in the crowd, I didn't get a good look at him myself, any ideas? Second, I apologize for the rude intrusion by that colorful duo that barged in. Should of had better security in the back, seeing as I had none!" He laughs to himself.

::Iole smiles at Adrian::
Actually it was kind of lucky that they came back here. There's a festival coming up soon, and all the likely suspects are likely to show up. Either the Harvester or his apprentice could be hiding among the crew when we get there. Besides, Oliver already agreed to be my escort.

:Kenny realized what Iole was up to and was a bit concern as he crossed his arms a bit:
"Hold on Sis, now I have a funny feeling about this festival I don't want you or Oliver getting into any trouble at all. I must make sure you stay safe and not get harmed at all by the harvester."

::Iole grins::
You worry too much. I don't think he'll try anything with that many people around. Oh... I just realized, with Lillith in Dali, you don't have a date do you? Neither do you Mongoose. But I think Takano was dropping hints.

"Its a good thing I don't have anyone to go with me." Ren said in a tone of relief.

If you're good, maybe I'll save a dance for you.

Adrian nods, his hand at his chin, thinking for a moment. "Sounds like another chance to find out some more information... wouldn't be half surprised if our culprit even makes an appearance, right, when is it then, Oliver?"
Oliver, struggling to think, scratches his head and fidgets. "Uhhhhh." He mumbles "Few'eeks I think."
"Alright, we lay low till then. Got enough gil to tide us over as well!" Adrian brandishes a heavy looking bad that clangs and rattles with the sounds of gil inside." He makes a laugh. "While you enjoy the dance, I'll guard the night! Haha!"

::Iole frowns and folds her arms::
Hey Adrian, aren't you supposed to divide us up our shares? We performed too you know.

Adrian awkwardly laughs at Iole's question, looking slightly suspicious. "Yes, almost forgot about that... guess that's the gypsy side of me coming out. I wouldn't want to... gyp my friends, now would I! We'll do it back at the Oliver's place, safer. Come, let's blow this scene, get everyone and their stuff together."
((To Festival of St. Stephen ))
