Home Sweet Home (open)

[Hibernius Tall]

Mr.Tall sat just outside of his beloved van, watching as his Cirque Du Freak set up once more. It was a constant happening, building up and tearing down. He had seen it for years, and it never failed to make him smile. The crowd that traveled with him changed just as often as the location they stayed at, it was a natural occurrence now. In the distance he could hear the trapeze artists shout and laugh as they flipped and twirled, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed a lone figure standing a bit to close to the fire, surrounded by a few others.

His teeth shined as he grinned, it was just another night at the Cirque Du Freak. And that was exactly how he liked it.

[Larten Crepsley]

Larten traipsed through the surrounding country side. He had long since found Hibernius's aura, but was taking his time in entering the Cirque. After several years travel it was time to add his tricks to the cirque around this time. He was sure Hibernius had felt him. After all they had known each other for over a hundred years. The vampire sensed anticipation from his traveling companion, "Soon, Octa. Soon."

He grinned at the thought. It would be wonderful to see his friends again. Finally the cirque came into view. Home... well one of them anyway. The vampire made his way through the campgrounds and nodded or waved to the different people that were with them. He knew them and they knew him. It was a normal thing between them. Soon the person he was looking for came into view. With confidence in his step he walked up to his friend.

"I'm not surprised to see you out here. How are you old friend?" Larten smiled at the man sitting in the chair. Hibernius was as his name suggested... TALL. Larten still couldn't believe how much the other man towered over him. One thing Larten made sure never to do was get on his friend's bad side. There was a powerful mystery about him and Larten had no doubt that Hibernius would easily snuff him out if he put his mind to it.

[Hibernius Tall]

A small smile crossed Hibernius's face, it seemed that he would be receiving a visit from an old friend that night. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, someone had searched out his aura, Larten. It was a moment later that the man walked into his view and he nodded in acknowledgement. "I am well, and you Larten? How have you been on your travels, well I hope." Mr.Tall smiled at him, black eyes meeting brown. While he may have been ancient himself, he was still happy to have an old friend such as Larten after so many years.

[Larten Crepsley]

"I have been well. Thank you Hiberneous. My coffin safe?" Mr. Tall knew what Larten was and the vampire knew without a doubt that Mr. Tall was about one of the few beings who could actually catch him off guard. Madam Octa grew frenzied. She knew they were at the Cirque. She knew what to do. Larten loved the little spider. Her red and blue coloring seemed to match her personality of fire and ice mixed into one.

The spider liked some while others she seemed to go nuts about. With those Larten had to be careful. He had the antidote, but there was only a little left and he was saving it for himself. Yes. Vampires could get sick from Octa's bite, which was why Larten was always careful around his little companion. Larten hoped to stay for awhile, "Do you still need performers. I can do my tricks or perform with Madam Octa. Your call." The vampire smiled at his friend. Each lineup was different and over the centuries the line up had changed so much that Larten was about the only one, besides Mr. Tall, that had been around a long time. The rest went on with their lives or had passed away. Larten hoped to be around for a LONG time.
