Mina Marquette's--The Art of Meditation
Evanne Marquette, the baby sister of the by now famous preformer rubbed the peeling poster pack onto the wall so that it's meassage was no longer obscured.
"You really should have this one framed...it is the first thing that ever advertised you!" She said, turning to face her sister, who sat on a stool, pulling her pink hair into place with a scarlet ribbon with the help of hand-held mirror.
Mina snorted, rolling her slender shoulders. "Hmm...maybe you're right...but I'm to lazy to do it right now, and anyway, we have a show in 10 minutes."
Evanne nodded, taking the hint that she too needed to get ready, and left her sister to her own devices.
...
5 minutes and 40 seconds later, Mina and Evanne watched the seats of the circus being slowly but surely filled. The elder Marquette was dressed in a tight-fitting black catsuit, and held a red plastic bottle in her right hand. A tendril of bubble-gum pink hair fell in front of her face. Her sister was dressed likewise, but with a more covering neckline. She and Mina waited for Mr.Tall to start the show.
((Bad, I know...whoever who wants to post here is welcome to!))

((Woot! Here is someone special!))
Meier sat silently in his tent concentrating on a vase filled with roses. They were all changing from red to white slowly, just like he wanted. He had a few other tricks he preformed for the Cirque sometimes. Mr.Tall had asked him to come for the few missing acts preformed by Dimitri and even Jaqcues. both had refused to preform.

Mina closed her eyes, and held out a hand, in which Evanne placed a silvery epee sword. The minutes ticked by like raindrops in a summer storm, slowly but surely. She could sense this was going to be a great show, as did her sister.

Meier looked up sharply. Mr.Tall stood in the entrance way of his small cnvas tent. ''Hello Hibernius.' He said standing to meet the tall Cirque owner. ''Hello, Meier, thank you for coming...Come out here..the showis due to go on in a minute or so. The auidience is getting restless.'' He said nodding. ''Tell the rest of them to come backstage.'' He said before walking off.

Evanne checked her watch. "Hmm...40 seconds...where's Mr.Tall?"
Mina, her eyes still peacefully closed, put one pale finger to her red-lipsticked lips, montioning for her sister to be quiet. "Paitence, Vanni..."

Meier nodded and proceded to tell everyone to head to the back.Putting his hand through the flap Mina and her sister where in he spoke loudly. ''Ladies, the show is starting, get back stage.'' He said before leaving to warn the others.

It seemed Mina hadn't heard for a few seconds, but after those few of staring into her shiny knife, the woman shook herself and dragged Evanne backstage. The younger girl did not complain.

Mr.Tall stepped off of the stage after announcing the start of the show. Cormac Limbs was first and he began his act jus as Meier scooted backstage. ''Phew.'' He said rubbing his forhead.

Mina sat idly in a chair, cleaning under her already spotless nails with a dagger she had procured earlier. Evanne sat indian-style at her feet, her small hands clasped in her lap and a small smile on her face as her sister reached down with her free hand and ruffled the girl's pink hair.

Meier smiled at Cormac as walked back off stage. He turned and looked at Mina and Evanne. ''Your Mina and Evanne, right?'' He asked them looking at the girls.

Mina nodded, placing her white hands in her lap and blinking up at Meier with her amber eyes. "Aye, we are. I'm guessing we're next, then?"
Evanne idily examined the torch in her own hands.

Meier nodded. ''Yes, go ahead out. The crowd awaits you.'' He said smiling as Mr.Tall announced the sisters to the crowd.

The crowd cheered and Mina sauntered onto the stage, Evanne trailing after her like a devoted puppy. The elder Marquette had a sword in her hand, which she aimlessly tickled her own tounge with.

Meier watched silently from behind the stage curtains. He had recently slipped into his elaborate costume that was a mask and his hair was sticking up aroun him. Both his eyes where uncovered under the mask, however his powerful one was covered slightly with black cloth so it didnt glow so bright. He had a long cape swishing the ground when he moved, he liked to show it up when he preformed, which wasnt alot nowadays.
His eyes wandered slightly to the crowd to see if anyone he knew was here.

Mina stuck her sword into the floor at her feet and held out a hand to Evanne, who swiftly gave her a red plastic bottle full of lighter fluid. Mina filled her mouth with this, winking at the crowd, and took the lighted match her sister gave her. Putting it to her mouth, she took a deep breath past the fluid in her mouth and blew a fireball so huge and hot that the people in the first row got a trifle sunburned.
...
A young, tan-skinned woman with cool eyes and and even chillyer gaze watched the pink-haired duo from her place in the third row. She held a canvas bag in her lap, tapping the top of it with brown fingers impatiently.
