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

[Video]

[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.]

...you don't have any idea what I'm talking about.

[with_the_big_top]

That's like...the stuff karate people do, right?

[Why does she feel so stupid, all of a sudden?]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[Because you are stupid?]

Martial Artists. Karate is one style of martial arts. Do I need to teach you the correct way to fight?

[with_the_big_top]

Hey! Don't underestimate me, I've gotten by pretty well on my own skills, you know.

But, I guess without Vice-Versa I'm really going to have to learn a good way to fight. Are you good at it?

[She's really not asking that question to be snide...she's genuinely curious.]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

I'm a master of the Natsume Style and the captain of the Juukenbu. So, yes. Very good.

[with_the_big_top]

That sounds pretty impressive.

If you want to teach me stuff then yea, I'll do it! Don't underestimate me just because I don't know any real martial arts or anything, though! I've been fending for myself most of my life!

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

We'll see how good you are later.

[with_the_big_top]

You really don't mind teaching me? I don't wanna be a pain.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

It's one of the things I do back home. Just don't embarrass me.

[with_the_big_top]

[Cerebella just laughs a bit.]

How could I possibly embarrass you? It'll be fun!

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[Cerbella just gets a Look.]

[with_the_big_top]

Whaaaaaat? Did I say something wrong?

[The look on her face indicates she's fully aware of the situation, here.]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

...regardless, you're always a pain, but I'm used to dealing with pains. You should see my club members back at Toudou.

[with_the_big_top]

Oh come on, I'm not that big of a pain!

I'm just bombastic and full of life! [Yes, she just said bombastic. Fight me.]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

Bombastic, huh?

[with_the_big_top]

Yep, that's what I said!

You can't help but agree.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

Oh, I can help it.

[with_the_big_top]

You've gotta admit, I'm pretty bombastic.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[eye roll] I suppose.

[with_the_big_top]

Hehe! Was that so hard?

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

You have no idea.

[with_the_big_top]

Yep, I have no idea how easy that was.

I mean, I can't see myself from a third person perspective or anything!

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

Shame you can't...

[with_the_big_top]

Ah, I probably wouldn't want to be able to.

I might become too big a narcissist if I could!

[She's not ACTUALLY this full of herself...she's just saying what she thinks will keep up her image.]

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

Right...
