She handed the feather back. "Perfect! We'll see you there I hope." After she straightened her sleeves, she leaned in and whispered. "We'll need some popcorn too..." Tekanni accepted the feather back. "Oh, you'll definitely see me! Might not recognize me, ehe, I'll be in costume. When you show up I'll make sure you get some popcorn." Later that night Tekanni was teasing the troupe's security guard about their scaly face paint before a show. She herself was elaborately dressed as a preying mantis. The group took a little while to arrive, but when they finally did it was the three of them - the two taller ladies and the shaggy boy that looked even shorter by comparison next to them. They had opted for casual clothing. As they walked in they made a great deal of looking around the tent's entrance, even though the boy still frowned on occasion. The other two were, no surprise, smiling.

The other two were, no surprise, smiling. There were two clowns ushering people to their seats - sort of. Once seated the clown directed them to stand back up and sit down again several times. A voice over a loudspeaker welcomed the audience to the Starlight Circus and started going over the safety procedures in case of an emergency. A security guard with scaly face paint approached the three of them. "Ah, so you finally came. Miss Tekanni told me to be on the lookout. If you follow me, I will take you to your seats."

The fanged one stepped forward, following on the tail of the guard, while Artemis trailed at the end slowly. "Will we be meeting Miss Tekanni again?" She asked. The three of them took their seats.

The guard was momentarily stunned at the sight of the teeth, but they recovered and acted like they hadn't noticed at all. "Yes. You've been invited backstage after the show." The security guard took their leave of the trio once they were seated. The clowns were on the center stage now, having a ridiculous battle with each other using massive balloon hammers. A pile of fabric fell from the ceiling and landed on them, but when the cloth had settled the two clowns were missing and the cloth flat. Music started up and a lone figure descended from the ceiling, twirling and dancing in the air with long strips of translucent streamers following behind her as she circled the sky and danced. It was then a bucket of fresh popcorn appeared at Artemis' feet.

He looked around, worried and confused, before his friends quietly noted to him that the acts were on purpose...and for entertainment. Whether he was understanding the show or not was a bit hard to figure out, but he eased in enjoying the popcorn and watching what he could.

Whether he was understanding the show or not was a bit hard to figure out, but he eased in enjoying the popcorn and watching what he could. The acts continued on, with more sky dancers joining the first. The clowns ran around the acts, reacting in amusing manners to the acts. A bunch of people people in bug outfits came out for a number, and following them were dragon people with staffs they danced with, climbed on, and jump off of. The acts continued and Tekanni came out in a sparkly white leotard, recognizable now. A man came out similarly dressed, and the two began to sing. Tekanni draped a cloth over various objects, and when she lifted the cloth the object had 'turned' into a dove person, who flew into the air and danced there as the show went on, joined by more dove people as Tekanni continued the act. The man covered objects with a cloth and upon removal they were revealed to have turned into a snake person. The snake people danced on the ground in a slithering, contortionist style. The two magicians faced off, singing in each other's faces defiantly. They then grabbed swords and danced around each other, only to stop. Each of them swallowed the sword, and when they pulled the swords out the swords were on fire. They continued their dance as the birds and the snakes circled and chanted.

If he wasn't interested before, it certainly wasn't the case now. The moment the bird dancers had appeared, Artemis went wide eyed and stared - maybe taking a moment to decide if they were real or not. Naturally, he was rooting for the "bird's side" in his head. The other two flashed smiles here and there whenever they thought they had caught Tekanni's eye.

The other two flashed smiles here and there whenever they thought they had caught Tekanni's eye. The swords clashed, sparks flying around the duelists and thunder crashing in the sky. The two clowns came out, each grabbing one of the magicians and pulling on them. A long box on wheels was brought in from either side of the stage and each magician pushed their clown into the box and shut it. The clowns' heads, arms, and legs stuck out of the boxes, and both clowns kicked and waved their arms wildly as the magicians cut their box in half. The clowns continued to kick and wave after their lower half had been 'removed'. Snakes grabbed onto the legs, pulling the lower end of the sliced box with them and sending the boxes spinning around the stage. There was of course no blood.

With the turn, Artemis didn't really know how to take it. The show had gone from oddly amusing, to confusingly...brutal? He watched for the blood, tilting his head when it didn't come and the bodies still flailed long after they should have stilled. The fanged one was on the edge of her seat, happily contributing to every gasp or laughter the audience moved with.

The magicians danced around each other, each gesturing to the clown the other had cut in half. The birds descended on the snake magician's clown, gathering his pieces. Tekanni ran over to them, tossing her sword to a bird and pulling the two boxes together. She opened in the lid and the clown climbed out of the box, running away. The snake magician fumed, and the snakes collected the clown Tekanni had cut in half. The snake magician gave his sword to a snake and placed his hands on the boxes, bring them together. He opened the lid and the other clown was freed. He then picked up his cloth and ran for Tekanni, who similarly grabbed a cloth and ran for him. They met in the center, tossing their clothes on each other. Both magicians vanished, the cloths settling flat on the ground.

His friends only offered a shrug to a him, but they revelled in his reaction to the disappearances. The three looked for any spotlights or gesturing - for where they assumed the performers might reappear.

The spotlights circulated around in the aidience, until one stopped a few seats from Artemis one row back. Tekanni sat there, now with a pair of silver bird wings. Another spotlight stopped in the audience, where Tekanni's rival magician sat with leathery wings. Tekanni winked at Art before flying off into the sky. The other magician did the same, and when they landed they linked hands and 'flew' to the ceiling, out of sight.

He griped his popcorn closer as she flew over them. The fanged one managed to sneak in a wave to her, and another excited and toothy grin while she gestured to show that her other friends had arrived too.

The tallest noted to the guard as she followed first after. Behind her, the fanged one was bearing her teeth to Artemis in a wild grin.
