It's been a few days since Lillith and her entourage left for Dali and already the winter is fast approaching. The days have grown short and the nights cold, with sporadic rains but no snow yet.
The funds for the Inn dried up quickly without the funding from the police, Oliver brought the troop back to his family's flat in the heart of the Crest, not exactly the safest place but then again, what is safe anymore?
On this particular day, Adrian has been planning something to earn a few extra gil and bring out the denizens of the Crest, hopefully shaking out the Harvester as well in the process, or at least, some information perhaps.
"Oliver, Iole, Ren!" Adrian calls out as he walks into the flat, shutting the door behind him using his foot to kick it back. "Anyone home?"

::Adrian hears Iole in another part of the flat, unable to see her, and she'd prefer to keep it that way::
I'm not coming out. What were you thinking when you bought these costumes?

Adrian chuckles. "Well, you wanted to fit in, didn't you!? They'll look great when its all together and it will definitely attract the locals! Why do you think I continue to wear this desert attire in this damnable cold!"
Adrian walks into the kitchen, though tiny it is, and sets down another bag filled with another costume for Ren, something that looks slightly tattered and odd, possibly scavenged from a gutter.
"Any idea where Ren is? And has Kenny tried on his costume, that leopard print leotard was just perfect for the strong-man bit!"

::Iole tries to answer, but she seems to have difficulty doing so through bouts of laughter::
Yeah... hahahhahah... yeah he tried it on. I told him not... hahaha... not to get rid of it until... hahahaha... Lillith saw it.
::She stops laughing abruptly and sounds angry again::
But that's not nearly as bad as what you've put me in. I mean... Are you serious?
::She emerges from behind the corner she was hiding in. Her face turns bright red when Adrian's eyes land on her::
(OOC: I'll leave the description up to you. Be as cruel as you want. I'm giving you a free shot to screw with me. ^_^)

Oliver emerges then from his room, dressed in a tight leotard with frills and dangly shiny bits. He comes out with his tail drooping low and head in an embarrassed slump.
"Ya can't be ser'ous... are ya?" Oliver asks, sounding not too pleased.
Iole's outfit is very similar to Oliver's but with a golden shiny corset over the leotard. Oliver giggles looking at Iole, pointing and laughing under his hand.

(OOC: Oh that's good)
::Iole glowers at Oliver::
Keep it up if you want a fat lip. So what did you get for Ren?
::A noise interrupts the conversation. A light breathy whistling sound that's coming from inside Oliver's stocking where he keeps the mirror Lillith gave him. Iole sighs and rolls her eyes::
Lillith again? Kenny, come talk some sense into your girlfriend!
::When there's no answer she starts to tap her foot impatiently::
Come on Kenny, we showed him our costumes. Get out here!

:Kenny heard his sisters voice but was still a bit stunned over what he was wearing as he shook his head:
"The things i do for love and honor...But this is too surreal at all"
:He was in of all things, a leotard with leopard prints, he look like he was a circus attraction than a loyal phoenix knight as he breathed a sigh and groaned a bit:
"Alright but you better not be laughing"
:He came out to show his costume:

Alright, we promise we won't laugh.... again.
::Kenny emerges in his leopard print leotard looking very embarrassed, and who can blame the poor guy? Iole and Oliver are totally silent until they look at each other. Then they're both rolling on the floor laughing. It takes Iole a while to get control of herself::
Sorry... sorry I'll just never get used to that. Look on the bright side. I'm sure whatever he picked for Ren is a thousand times worse. Ren get out here!!!

Ren went out of the room he was yawning. "What's the big deal with the noises?" Ren said and looked at Adrian. He looked at them and the attires they had. His eyes widened. "No thank you. I'm perfectly fine with mine although that doesn't look that bad." Ren took the dress. He handed it back to Adrian. "No thank you. I'll just go buy normal citizen stuff althugh they look so much itchier than what I'm wearing."
Ren looked at the two children who were quietly giggling. "The costume would be better for the young couple; it really brings out the adventure and children in them!" Ren laughed looking at how Oliver was dressed up.

"Did sleep already make you forget that plan?" Adrian says, throwing Ren's costume to him. "How else are we going to earn some extra gil while we are here? If we all have too put on these shows, then we have to all play the part. Here, yours is easy. Just have to bite off the heads of a few chickens and scare the people a bit, its simple really! I mean, its not hard playing the sideshow geek!"

You heard him.
::Iole says casually, clearly enjoying how uncomfortable Ren is with the situation::
Ollie and I are "Knife and Shadow; Masters of the flying trapeze", Kenny is "Baron Barbarossa; The Strongest Man in the World" and you were picked to be "Gorgo; the most frightening freak-show on this side of Alexandria."
::She throws a curt smile to Adrian::
I told you that you should have let me make posters.

"Haha, funny!" Ren sarcastically said at Iole. "I should be Brawl the best martial artist and acrobatic! You'd make a fine Gorgo with your shape shifting." Ren said giving a Iole a smile.

::Iole smirks at Ren::
Too bad. Costume doesn't fit me. You're the best we have. Either that, or we can ship you back to Nibleheim. Your choice. Or, I showed Adrian this other costume for "Muriel the Bearded Lady". Or maybe "Zeira the Ballerina". I think you're the perfect fit for that one. That sounds like more fun. I'll be right back.
::She makes to leave, counting the seconds in her head it will take for Ren to change his mind::
3...2...1...

"Sorry little girl.Too bad you not authorized for what I do in my life." Ren said with a smirk. "I'm joining in with this plan but not on your side. Okay?"

::Iole shakes her head pityingly::
You see, a better way to have said that would have been "I'm sorry Iole. Thank you very much for giving me a second chance and not hog-tying me in my sleep so you could stuff me in a trunk and cart me back to that dismal boring city I call home like you were planning to do." So are you going to put your costume on, or do I have to turn into a gorilla and force it on you?
::The way she has her hands on her hips and the set of her eyebrows remind him a little of Sina when she's made up her mind. It shows him she's not kidding. Iole guesses he wouldn't be all that comfortable with a young woman dressing him, but that look tells him he's putting on that costume whether he wants to or not::

"Fine. If this keeps Iole from blabbering nonsense." Ren said and went to his room. He went out again. "This is not pleasing. Is this what Gypsies wear? They are utterly very irritating to look at and are kind of itchy."

::Iole grins wickedly at Ren::
Freaks don't complain. We have to wear our costumes, so do you.

:Kenny was listening on as he just leaned on the wall feeling a bit humiliated over this plan, first of all he was a knight not a strong man but he had to go through with this.:
"Lillith is not going to believe this when we see her again"

::Iole hugs Kenny for encouragement::
Come on, don't look so down. Get into character. You're the strongest man in the world, so act the part. Strut your stuff as they say in show biz. You know... be cocky.

:Kenny shows a little smile as Iole hugs him:
"Well, thanks for the encouragement sis, just as long as you don't cause some mischeif, we may be doing this circus show but we don't need an uproar of any sorts."
