Saints' Square is bustling with activity, especially around the stage that has been erected opposite the Church. Red curtains hide most of the stage from view and a long banner advertising "THE AMAZING MARVOLO" is draped across the upper reaches of the temporary stage.
Iorek wanders out of the Creator's church, his face brimming with a smile. The dog, walking with a cane briefly looks around before spotting the large stage with interest. Curious he takes a wander over, standing infront of the banner reading it.
Angus looks up at the sky, wondering why in the creators name it was so blasted hot today. Using his hat as a fan he walks by Saint's square, just in time to catch snippets of conversation about a Marvolo? His curiosity gets the better of him, turning to follow the growing crowd with his hat back squarely upon his head.
Kilani is moderately agitated with the presence of a crowd in a central location. She did, of course, have something to do. And somewhere to be. It would be impractical to attempt to shove through this large gaggle of beings, however, so she decides to resort to 'going with the flow', as they say. Perhaps there would be something to see. Maybe.
There is a little fanfare from somewhere back stage and the curtains swing open to reveal a simple, bare stage and a tall, thin, black cat in a finely tailored suit and sparkling white gloves. "Welcome my friends!" he calls out, "I am Marvolo! Prepare to be amazed!" He sweeps the tophat from his head and a flock of white birds erupts from the hat! "Prepare to be staggered!" he says, waving a hand and causing a spray of flowers to appear in his gloved hand, "Prepare for wonders like you have never seen before!"
The crowd in the square starts to congregate around the stage and the lone figure on the stage. This could be a good show!
Iorek smirks slightly, understanding slight of hand he's not really impressed by the appearance of the flowers, but he looks like a showman, this could be a laugh at least. Leaning heavily on the cane he wanders closer to the stage, joining in the crowd as it grows.
Angus slips into the crowd, snerking as he watches the magician perform 'wonders!' for all to behold. He reaches up to put his hand before his mouth to hide the smile, laughter hard stopped before it can be heard, his tail flicking behind him before he notices Iorek among the crowd, his ears perking for a moment.
Well, this was different. Magic isn't exactly an unfamiliar thing, but this wasn't your typical magic, it seems. Curious. Kilani places herself fairly near the stage, hoping to catch a gleam of whatever seems to be causing the bird phenomenon.
Trailing footsteps eke out on the cobblestone, as Galatea looks up to the Church, it's superimposed form looming over the square. She smiles to herself, before her amber-hued eyes pinpoint the bat. "Is something the matter?" she asks in a dulcet voice, approaching slowly.
The stage magician waves and bows at the mild applause, then beckons the audience to come nearer. "Draw close, friends," he calls, spreading his hands wide, "And I will stun and amaze you!" He points dramatically out at the audience. "But first! I will need the help of one of you!" he proclaims, "Who among you will assisst me?"
Iorek smirks as his tail give a brief, involuntry wag. He used to love these magic acts as a kid, but he's probably a bit too grown up for this. 'Yeah, I'll let one of the kids or someone volunteer. Maybe vonunteer their parents.' he thinks to himself as he looks around at the nearby crowd, inching forward slightly to make sure he can get a good view.
Angus slips through the crowd, stepping up beside Iorek as he watches the Magician. "So, hows the leg? I take it the cane means you haven't fully recovered." He asks the Lab, giving him a quick once over look before focusing back on the magician. A volunteer? My this would be an intresting show, the smile still hidden behind a hand.
A volunteer? Sure, why not. Kilani calmly and quietly raises her hand, the tall and thin bat easily sticking out from the rest of the crowd. I mean, it's certainly better than watching, and perhaps a closer look can be gleaned. She continues to eye the magician's glove and hat, determined to seek out whatever rune summoned the birds.
Galatea watches on silently as the volunteer steps for the stage, and she purses her lips.
Molly skipped into the square in a hurry, her dress bouncing with her jumps as she makes her way through toward the church. The beckoning and call of the magical feline catch her ears, however, and she quickly changes course to watch the show. Being so small of stature, she takes on a pattern of constant hopping up and down to get a view. In doing so, a certain labrador catches her eye, and she pauses her hopping to scurry beside Iorek and begin hopping there instead. The raised hands in the crowd catch her attention as well, and she joins them, frantically waving a hand at the peak of her jumps.
Fayrmune arrives dressed in one of her best courtly dresses instead of her usual flexible travel robe. She still carries her dai-sho on her of course, even if her social soul somewhat hinders her ability to use them presently. "How fun! A show!", she exclaims to no one in particular as she weaves her way gracefully through the crowd, looking for a good seat.
"Why don't we let fate decide?" the magician asks, grinning. He raises his hands into the air and dozens of playing cards shoot forth from his sleeves and spin and flutter over the beings in the audience, somehow never settling to the ground! The cards all float and dance in the air, ranging to and fro across the square until they start to slowly gather in a cloud above Iorek! The cards all start to rain down on the dog's head. "You there!" the feline magician grins, "Come! Join me on the stage, my friend! Bring your friends!"
Iorek turns to Angus when he hears his name, as he goes to answer, looking a little hesitant as he rubs the back of his head, the barrage of cards rain down on him. He gives the magician a dopey "Wha? Me?" kind of look before looking a little excited, before turning apprehensive. He's been trying to stay out the spot light, but I doubt anything will happen with Lord Solacious standing right here. With a shrug, he hobbles towards the stage using the stick, tail wagging occasionally as he tries to hide his excitement, badly.
Angus watches the bunny jump up and down in place, contemplating how exactly to help them with this issue before Iorek is singled out in the crowd. "...Well, I guess it would be amusing to see how this facade works itself out hm?" He states, sweeping his hand towards the stage in an indication that he would be accompanying Iorek for the trick.
Molly watches in awe as the cards shoot over the audience, grabbing at the air to try and catch them as they hang above - only to start pouring on her canine companion! She squeals with excitement, thumping a foot off the ground before starting off to scurry after Iorek, sticking close to wade through the crowd with him in hopes of finding a better view.
Fayrmune claps her hands as the cards fly every which way. She cheers when the magician--or rather card cards-- choose someone from the crowd. "Wooo! Show us some more tricks!", she shouts excitedly as more people join the magician on the stage.
