Zane walked into the Cirque and led Connor and Bijou to the tents. He turned around and grinned at them. "So, what do you think Connor?" He smiled as some of the stagehands walked past, waving at him and Bijou. He looked at Connor and Bijou a bit closer. It was very plain to see that they did belong with each other, and Zane was happy to help them. "Soooo, over here at this tent, we have Evra Von's tent." He leaned in close to Connor's ear. "Hes half-snake so...oui..."

Bijou waved back at the two stage hands, Max and Missy, sheepishly. The twins glanced back at her with interest, their thoughts filled the rumors of her 'freak ability'. She looked around, it was getting into the late hours of the night and Drake was no where to be found. For once she was relieved that he wasn't by her side, after their first big fight she really didn't need her Vampaneze 'protector' around until he had more time to cool off. Bijou gave Zane a dirty look, "Whats wrong with snakes?"
Connor looked round him in wonder. The cirque looked almost like any other circus might except that a good number of the performers looked slightly less than human. It was busy, people going about their business, setting up, taking down, preparing food or somesuch. But the thing that Connor found most amazing was that the people worked along side each other without any sort of prejudice.
He snapped back to attention as Zane explained who's tent they were standing outside of. Half snake? Really? Awesome.
"Huh," he said, still looking around. "So like, what kind of things do you have to do to be a part of the cirque?"
Zane smiled as he watched Connor take in everything. "Theres nothing wrong with snakes, I was sayin there cool." His head turned to Connor. "Just help out around and if you wanna be a performer you just use your powers ok?"

Bijou smiled, relaxing her squared shoulders. She had a thing about wearing long sleeves, seeing as she had 'tattoo's' of snakes on her wrists that moved of their own accord. Most of the cirque didn't even know they were there, unless they had spend the time to see her on stage. Her performance outfit was a rather interesting one, a black corset like top that revealed her bare arms with red lace; a black leather mini skirt; black combat boots; and her hair braided with a red ribbon at the bottom. The Oracle couldn't help but role her eyes at Zane. "There's more than 'helping around' or performing. There's costume designers, handy men, animal care takers, even a few rouge doctors and vets."
Connor nodded. He supposed he could 'help out'. He wasn't very good with costumes... or animals... or medicince. But he was pretty handy when he could be bothered. There was still the issue of being surrounded by so many people and what if he were to lose control and hurt some of them? Still... he felt like this was a place where that might no happen.
"This place is awesome," he said, grinning at Zane and Bijou.

Bijou smiled, Conner might join the Cirque! That could mean so many things, they would be able to spend more time together, who knows? Her grey eyes scanned the vast array of tents, it was getting rather late into the night. "I suppose Mr. Tall would either be with Larten Creepsly or in his own van. You never know with him." Bijou often saw Mr. Tall in the big tent before and after the show, but seeing as they hadn't performed in a while there were only a few places he would be.
Connor took a deep breath and pretended he wasn't nervous. What if, for some reason this Mr Tall didn't like him and wouldn't let him stay? Or what if he freaked out and caused damage and got kicked out and was back to being by himself? As much as he would prefer not to have people around for him to hurt, he liked hanging out with Bijou and Zane.
"So uh... what's Mr Tall like?" he asked. "Should I be worried?"
