Polly snapped her hands back to her sides at the sound of his conceit.

"And what makes you think that I fear you?"

Oh, I'm sad that I have to go soon because this is getting really good. I will be back in a few hours though.

"Don't touch," said Rainer. His body twitched, and the metallic on his skin spread from his neck down his body to his leg, locking the knife into place.

My dad is only letting me post by the hour, so I'll have to do some GM-like posts.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the place. The Ferris wheel turned slightly, and rocked on it's axis. A creaking noise that didn't sound safe came from it.

" Oh no," Mary thought. She couldn't interfere in fear of getting caught in the cross-fire.

"Okay," Kiora said, rocking back. The motion put her off balance and she landed in on her butt. "That's officially the weirdest thing I've ever seen someone's skin do."

She looked around for Grimm. "You can come over now, I probably won't torture him." I doubt it would work on this guy anyways, she thought.

The Ferris wheel groaned ominously in the wind. They probably should move, but between Rainer and Grimm, she was stuck.

"Your hands. Your mouth. Your eyes."

The edges of the smile recurred, and he rose, gaze still locked.

"I have always wanted to slay a mirror. You could become that, with time."

Another step back, and back.

"If you would."

Cyrus ran towards it, jumping the fence that surrounded the Ferris wheel.

The creature had a shape like a mandrill; it let out piercing shriek before climbing up the ride's interconnecting bars.

"Heh." Cyrus quite enjoyed parkour. It was definitely in its element climbing; he had a better chance just riding the tops of the cabins to get a good shot. He hated to waste bullets...

Its screeching could drive people to madness if they lacked the necessary precautions. Sure, it still hurt his ears, but he could keep his sanity thanks to the silver earring

they insisted on him wearing.

The demon's mouth took up at least half its face, screeching loud enough for everyone else in the carnival to hear and strong enough to vibrate the metal. He leapt on top of the bottom-most cabin, staying locked on it.

He had to take it out, now, before the Ferris wheel came crashing down.

He grabbed a dart and quickly nailed the demon in its gaping mouth. He listened to its body thud on the ground before he himself lost his balance and fell off.

Cyrus quickly got to his feet to find it struggling to stand. Its head whipped around at him with a stare, and he shot it with his pistol.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Great, something new was integrating itself into his body. The spot throbbed as the kunai sparked a bit before everything quieted again. This was something new, something also evil. He didn't want to think about what it could do, he didn't want to think of how he'd have to cut holes in every pair of pants he would ever own... then again, he didn't think he would last long enough to get another pair, anyway...

This was all too hard to think about, so he stopped thinking.

"I don't know," he said.

"And he seemed so well put-together before this mess," Kiora said, climbing to her feet. She dusted herself off and put a hand on Grimm's shoulder.

"You okay?" She kept a wary eye on Rainer, and another on the creaking Ferris wheel. Why had that damn halo kid chased that thing up there?

Mary cringed as she heard the shot of a pistol. She peeked up and saw the boy—who was apparently an exocist—under the Ferris wheel.

"What was under there?" she wondered, aiming the video camera at him. She couldn't see the creature inside the fence area.

There was a snapping blnoise. She looked up at the top of the Ferris wheel. One of the bolts went undone, falling toasted the ground. One of the passenger farts was hanging by it's axis, threatening to crush Cyrus.

She yelled out, but a roll of thunder rang out, covering her warning.

He heard the scream and looked for its source direction.

So, that's what he's been after, huh.

Normally, one would be driven to madness by the scream, but the magician was already insane to begin with. He threw curious glances, both to the monster on the same Ferris Wheel he had been atop of and the exorcist who was being followed by the magician. He wondered what would happen next.

He wouldn't have to wait for long, because what he saw next was a man in a tunic falling down with the beast. After hearing a thud, the magician saw the man standing up and seizing the opportunity to shoot the beast. Was it enough?

The magician didn't know, to make sure he'd be safe he took his hat off and whispered inside it, "Fluffy...wake up."

Another demon dispatched. Cyrus grabbed the body and dragged it over the fence with him before the he heard the groan of metal, then a loud crash.

This place was set to be demolished, anyway, why not get some of the work done now?

He completed the exorcism next to the twisted mass of metal, then went on his way, sitting atop one of the booths as he waited for the inevitable cries of panic.

He thought he heard someone's voice, but he honestly didn't care enough right now.

I'm going to be leaving soon.

Valentine slowly opened her eyes. Looking around, she saw that she was now in some house.

Wait a minute. House? Why do I feel that's important? Now that I think about it, how did I-

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a large, creaking, metal object. Looking out a nearby window, she saw the Ferris Wheel begin to fall off of it's hinges.

Oh, that is not good at all

[up] It's not going to crash yet.

Mary placed her video camera on the booth table and climbed over it. She stood up outside the booth and ran towards the Ferris wheel. It was her duty to make sure no one got seriously hurt, and she was slacking off. A passenger cart was heavy enough to crush a person's spine.

She waved Cyrus over..

"You know, I really don't have time to care if you're okay or not!" Kiora shouted, unsure of whether the Ferris Wheel had decided to come loose. She conjured several doppelgangers, grabbed Grimm, his helmet, and Rainer and jumped for higher ground.

I'm gonna be busy for a bit, don't know how frequently I'll be able to post

"Phew...False alarm, you can go back to your slumber, Fluffy." He could hear some frustrated growls coming from the hat. "I'll make up for it, I promise," he said in an attempt to calm his friend down. "How about an extra golden carrot for dinner?" He waited a few seconds for the growls to stop, then put his hat on.

The wheel didn't crash down as he expected it would and there seemed to be no victims. Which disappointed him — not the lack of victims — but he thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to introduce himself. He'd have to leave it for the next time. Having that in mind, he jumped, ignoring the laws of physics and landed on the highest spot the bent Ferris Wheel could offer. Doing just as before, he observed the visitors with a smile on his face.

Aaaand the girl who had thrown the kunai knife into his leg had just picked up both Rainer and Grimm like they were made of air. He watched as the ground flew away. This didn't seem to work. This was the work of the brain fog. He had just been thrown on the back of a truck or something, or something else.

He felt as his body sucked in the knife. in his leg, slowly, centimeter by centimeter. He didn't know why it was doing that, but it couldn't be good.

"Oh my god I hate doppelgangers," Kiora grunted as she landed on the roof of the house they'd been in. Her chakra reserves were really running low, with the medical jutsus, two Chidori, and opening the Gates.

She was breathing heavily as she turned to examine the others. Rainer's leg was- absorbing the kunai? She shook her head. I'll get him to explain once he starts answering questions.

Looking back at the Ferris Wheel, she saw that it was just a single cart that had fallen, not the whole structure. How long that would last was... debatable.

Grimm was sitting perfectly still, with his arms around his knees, perched on the roof of the house. His heels caught traction against the shingles, preventing him from slipping down h side. He also, somehow, managed to grab his helmet which sat in his lap between his legs, a handful of pills still sliding around inside it. Without turning around, he said "Thanks."

"Why are we..." he was going to ask, why were we on a roof, but were they really on a roof? Sometimes, life could be confusing. His guard was being let down and he didn't think he could fight it off for much longer.

"I'm tired," he said.

"You're not the only one," Kiora agreed. She wondered, briefly, what might have happened had she not knocked Grimm out in the first place. Whatever that giant pig-thing had been, it wasn't natural.

Curious, she pulled Valentine's pistol out of her supply pouch. She snapped her fingers in Grimm's direction, hoping to get his attention.

Grimm plopped his helmet absent-mindedly back on to his head, carefully propped himself up on the roof, and took measured steps up it towards the Ninja. He stopped in front of her, his expression unreadable under the balaclava. His voice however retained a clear edge of bitterness. "You called, princess?"

"Yeah. Here," she handed him the pistol. "Maybe this'll take your mind off things. I've seen more than one of these in this world now, and I have a funny feeling I wanna be familiar with them if a fight breaks out. How do these things work and what do they do?"

Grimm took the pistol and looked it over.

"Nine millimeter, semi-automatic." Grimm recited. His voice sounded hoarse. "I don't recognize the precise make of it, but it is a recoil-operated firearm. A slug-thrower. Trigger trips the hammer which hits the percussion cap, detonating the propellant in the casing. This sends a bullet down a rifled barrel, imparting it with spin which stabilizes it in flight. Recoil from the explosion pushes the slide back which takes the brass casing along with it and ejects it out the side."

He slipped the magazine out of it's well and pulled back the slide, showing her all of it's operative components.

Can any of you guess what it was yet?

"Where is that noise coming from?" Valentine wondered aloud. It seemed like it was coming from the roof.

Steping outside, she looked up and, sure enough, there were people on the roof.

Oh, great. I always miss the interesting bits. I mean, it's getting pretty re-

Her thoughts stopped completely when she saw Kiora talking to the man who had held her at gun point. And they had her gun!

Oh, no way... Silently, she moved closer to the house to conceal herself and listened in on the two.
