2nd Performance | The show is...really...not going on.

[The bracelet video cuts on, to an image of Cerebella looking restless, her chin in the palm of her hand with an elbow resting on a desk. She lets out a long, loud sigh, looking off to the side for a moment before re-focusing her attention on the bracelet video "camera" or whatever it is.]

Okay, I give up. I know I was put here to do something but...what am I supposed to do?? [Frustration tinges Cerebella's voice as she pulls herself off of her hand, twirling her hat on her finger in a seemingly unconscious habit.]

First, they gave me this weird power. Energy Transfer...what am I supposed to even do with that? If anyone needs some energy transferred, I'd really be happy to help, because I just want to feel like I'm doing something here. I'm not even sure what this power actually does, only a vague description of how to use it. So yea, seriously, if anyone needs some energy transferred or whatever I'm all set to do it.

Secondly...I already feel like my performances are getting pretty stale. I mean, I do it out on the street but I want to get more stuff to make it really spectacular! If anybody's got a paying job I can do I would really, really like to do it. I guess I could work in one of those shops the grey people have but...I really don't want to work for them.

It's not that I think they're bad, or anything! They're just...they're just such a drag to be around, you know?? That sounds really bad, doesn't it? I'm not trying to be mean, I promise!

UGH! Can I just...get something to do??

[Cerebella lets out one last growling/whining sort of noise. She's obviously frustrated, and she's reaching for some kind of help or guidance.]

I'm sorry, this is lame. But a circus performing star really starts to get frustrated when she doesn't know what to do.

Even if you just want to talk, I'm cool with that too! I just want something to do. I'm serious about wanting a job, though! I can't perform without income to help me!

I guess I'd better cut this off before I start rambling. Thanks for listening, and I hope to make all of your dreams come true some day!

[With a wink and a wave, Cerebella cuts the video feed.]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

I have an idea.

[with_the_big_top]

Really?

Oh, Maya please tell me! I just really need something to do!

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

I'll be generous and offer you a place in my club.

[this_chair]

You could try tightrope walking with backflips.

[with_the_big_top]

I need a good place to set up a good rope for tightrope walking.

You may not realize it, but a lot goes into setting up a proper tightrope, you know. So many specific things have to be JUST right!

I want to do it, though.

[this_chair]

You can't just do it anywhere you want?

[holmes_fanatic]

Would a place on stage of Asgard's first Traveller-run festival be challenging enough?

[with_the_big_top]

Maybe! Mostly, my problem has been being unable to fund my fantastic stunts.

But if I could have a stage to perform on that would be awesome!

[holmes_fanatic]

Funding ... We can't pay you, but we might be able to help find you props. What sort of thing might you need?

[Oh hey, it's the new girl that ended up next door to him. Larry figures he'll humor her.]

Energy Transfer kinda sucks, yeah, but if you want some help with it, I've been practicing with some other people in Freya.

[with_the_big_top]

Oh hi! You live next to me, right?

Do you have the same power?

[failures]

Yes aaand yes. [He gives a little bow.] 'sup?

[circuses]

[ Oh look, it's Cerebella again! And Regina has a really, really AWFUL great idea to tell her! ]

Hey, are you good at dancing? Or looking after animals?

[with_the_big_top]

Of course I can dance, kind of have to be able to. Or at least can't help but pick it up, anyway.

I was always pretty good with the animals too...why?

[circuses]

That's perfect! You see...I went to this great party the other day, and it was full of animals and dancers. What was it called...oh yeah! Rose Blush! [ OH NO ]

[occulthymns]

I know how energy transfer works. It's shitty, but I've gotten stronger twice now and it gets better later on.

[with_the_big_top]

Yea, they told me how it works I'm just...still unclear on the why part of it.

I feel like I'm just not getting something.

[occulthymns]

Oh, it's mostly to help other people out. Say someone else is using their powers and they start getting tired - if you have energy stored you can give it to them and they can keep using their power. It was actually pretty useful back when those ice fairies attacked.

[titties]

You were a circus performer? That in itself sounds pretty damn impressive.

[with_the_big_top]

Aww, it's not that impressive. I feel like if I'm having that much fun doing something then you can't really call it work or impressive...I almost feel like I'm just playing around.

But thank you, though!

[titties]

If you're successful, that makes it all the more impressive if you're having fun with it, hihihihi!

[abarais]

Circus performer, ah?

[god damn renji's starting to appreciate how this feels - it doesn't take a fully trained warrior long to get bored in a place like asgard]

[ssssso instead he's going to have to learn how to start spending his time talking to people HERE GOES NOTHING]

If ya got a talent y'might as well sell it. Doubt there's many circus performers around, maybe you should try settin' up a class.

[with_the_big_top]

Setting up...a class?

But...it's not something you can really teach unless people have the fire for it in their hearts! The willingness to put themselves in danger for the enjoyment of the crowds!

I understand not many people are probably willing to do that.

[diamondedge]

We still have a date, Cerebella!

[with_the_big_top]

Ahahaha...we do...but I still don't really have any money at all.

Finding a job is hard...and I have yet to be recognized for my talents.
