3rd Performance | The Gods must be crazy

[with_the_big_top]

[Video]

Y'know, I haven't been here for very long and I'm still trying to figure this place out. I know it's really jarring to be pulled out of your own world and into another without any warning. Heck, it's even downright scary! I can totally understand being angry at the people responsible for it, too. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.

I saw the cute little thing one of the Gods posted for someone, and it kind of explained a lot! Even before I saw that, though, I noticed a little bit of a trend.

Every time one of the Gods posts something a lot of people treat them pretty rudely. Like I said, I can understand being angry and scared...but is it really a good idea to act that way toward the most powerful people here? Sure, it would have been better if they had asked for our help before just pulling us here...but would anyone have said yes to their request?

I don't know if anyone else here has ever been in a situation where they had a chance to do something to save an entire world, but even despite the circumstances it's a chance to do something really cool and incredible! We can help save an entire world, and if what that God posted is true, a whole bunch of other worlds too...even our own.

I dunno, I kind of feel like I'm rambling. I guess I'm just saying we should probably try to cooperate with the Gods and do something to help. We're here anyway, right? I bet the quicker we get it done the quicker we can go home. Plus, it'll probably end in some kind of grand show! A final battle with the evil bosses! It's like something out of a video game, and will probably be something really cool to be a part of.

Besides, they're Gods. That demands some kind of respect, right? I'm not trying to suck up or anything, and I'm really not even sure why I decided to do this. I just figure we should be more cooperative since we're here anyway, and we might even become some kind of mythical heroes in the process! Even if you don't like the Gods, we should definitely all work together ourselves. We're going to have to fight for our lives, right?

I'm just a circus performer, though...so I guess I might be a little naive or something?

[Cerebella thinks about that for a moment, before the video feed mercifully shuts off.]

As mentioned beforehand, it will be difficult to do as such. These sort of manners will take time to form. Though, it would seem we will all end up working together in the end. Once everyone feels their lives on the line, then many will band together, in order, to survive. Until then, we will have to do with working alongside those who are willing to help others and work alongside the rulers of this world. I believe there are a few organization such as those all ready. Are you thinking of joining their ranks?

[Then at the mention of being a circus performer, he cannot help feel curious.]

If I may be so bold to ask, what type of position do you hold at the circus? Are you a performer, by any chance?

[fishdouche]

All a matter a personal choice, ain't it? Maybe I like murder.

[wasthemaster]

Much, much worse. Thanks for that.

[sparkling_eyes]

Good luck.

[circuses]

Well...not everyone thinks clowns are funny. [ Especially Moe. Never have there been such awful gags in the history of clowning, and everyone on the planet knows it. ]

But I like their corny jokes!

[with_the_big_top]

Hey, I tried!

[She doesn't seem all that concerned with it, more pleased with herself than anything.]

[with_the_big_top]

Well that's just horrible by itself!

[with_the_big_top]

I thought clowns were supposed to be funny because they're corny.

At least...that's why I think they're funny!

[with_the_big_top]

Thanks! If I get to put on a fantastic show, I'll get you tickets...um...

What was your name?

[with_the_big_top]

[I hope you weren't too attached to that deep conversation piece earlier, because she's totally now focused on your circus questions.]

Oh yes, I was the most popular performer in the Cirque des Cartes! I performed high-flying, death-defying feats of agility and strength!

[sparkling_eyes]

It's Lyon.

[circuses]

That makes sense! It goes with the theme ours has got at the circus: how many ways can a fat funny guy fall down?

It turns out, a lot.

[onlyserves]

[Nope, not one bit. He will smile as he listens to the other speak so happily over her abilities.]

What sort of death-defying feats of agility and strength do you perform? As I am unfamiliar with the sort of shows a circus would normally present, it is difficult for someone such as myself to begin to imagen it. You are not a lion tamer like Berry-san, right?

[fishdouche]

Says you. That's vvery fuckin' culturally insensitivve, by the wway!

A little bit a vviolence is perfectly acceptable, evven good for you.

[ofthursday]

This is correct, yes. However there is, of course, debate as to what method to be used in achieving that.

[with_the_big_top]

See, that's the part I don't get.

Don't argue about it, just do it!

[with_the_big_top]

That's not even remotely true.

I bet you haven't even experienced anything like that.

[with_the_big_top]

[Cerebella just laughs.]

We'll have to see if we can find some clowns!

[with_the_big_top]

Nice to meet you!

I'm the one, the only, Cerebella! I was the biggest star in the Cirque des Cartes back home!

Well, maybe not the biggest, but don't tell anyone.

[with_the_big_top]

Well, I can't do the strength stuff so well anymore because certain things don't work here.

But, I used to do things like tightrope walking while Vice-Versa balanced two elephants in his hands! Or doing high flying trapeze acts through rings of fire! With no net, even!

[sparkling_eyes]

I won't say anything.

[circuses]

Alright! It wouldn't be a proper circus without clowns! Soon we'll have an Asgardian circus to be proud of!

[fishdouche]

Fuck you, human! I had a perfectly good kismesis!! I'm not completely romantically bankrupt!

[He snarls, baring his fangs.]

[ofthursday]

Do you truly believe all those here agree about what to do? Who would choose which of the many options is the best for everyone?

[onlyserves]

Ah! [There will be some clapping at Soushi's part as he tries to imagine everything he was being told.] Very impressive! You hold many great and remarkable talents. Do you enjoy working at the circus?
