Haly's Circus: New York City!

[daringyoungman]

 It's a quick stop between Metropolis and Gotham City. New York is what John Grayson calls a Red Pin town - big shows, and dangerous tricks, but it's smaller than Metropolis and is a warm up for the big shows in Gotham.

Dick waited until the punters were beginning to show up then grabbed a moment between rehearsals to run into the bar and collect his friends. So many people had said they hadn't been to a circus in too long, and that had to be fixed.

Also, he feels that if having access to a magic bar is going to do something, it might as well bring an audience to the circus.

The sneeze is unexpected and Tumnus goes back into the crowd.

Luckily they're in a part of the crowd that's not too thick, but its a lot of people and one of Tumnus' hooves is peeking out from under his pants as he works to get upright.

Aang lands in the food stall with an almighty crash that brings donuts and sugar flying into the air and raining down on him. The small crowd of people around the close-up illusionist in front of him are knocked to the ground, and his cards go flying across the lot. There are a few screams of surprise, and at least two children start crying.

"Stupid metas!" a man yells angrily.

The force of hitting the stall stuns him for a few moments, which is why it takes him a touch longer to realize what's happened and recognize the scene he's just made.

"Uh..."

He's not certain what a meta is other than bad and manages to stand and hurries over to Aang,

"We need to not be here."

Running away is something he hasn't done since the White Witch ruled but its not something you forget how to do.

"Wha? What happened..."

Aang slowly starts to come back to himself, and what he sees when he gets there is a perturbed faun and dozens of staring eyes.

"ut oh."

He airbends to his feet.

Tumnus winces at the airbending as they didn't seem to like that and quickly covers his hooves.

Then moves to hide Aang with his body and get them away from the crowd, there seems to be a sort of alley between some tents.

Re: Before the performance

Even as Tumnus shuffles him off, Aang is able to spy a bit of the damage a single sneeze from him has caused.

"monkeyfeathers," he cusses under his breath as they walk.

"Yes, by the Lion's Breath, you can do a lot for your size. I think your cake went that way," He gestures into the crowd as its quiet in the little alley.

"We'll just wait here until its all calmed down."

"You don't know the half of it," Aang mutters under his breath. "That's okay, eating any more might not be the best idea anyway.

"We're safe in here,"

Tumnus scratches his ears under the hat, which is itchy.

Re: Before the performance

[12goingon113]

"I'm sorry Mr. Tumnus. I didn't meant to cause a scene."

Re: Before the performance

[friend_of_lucy]

"I know you didn't, you sneezed. I'm sorry that you lost your cake."

Re: Before the performance

[12goingon113]

For a second Aang allows himself to mourn the cake that once was.

"Me too. Maybe if there's time after the show I could pick another one up and bring it back with me."

Re: Before the performance

[friend_of_lucy]

"We'll ask Dick as I'm sure it will be possible."

Re: Before the performance

[12goingon113]

"I didn't uh...I didn't get snot all over you, did I?"

Re: Before the performance

[friend_of_lucy]

"No, just a bit more sugar. Come on, we should get our tickets and see where everyone else is."

Re: Before the performance

[12goingon113]

Aang briefly considers airbending the sugar off of Tumnus a second time, but at the last second decides against it.

"Yeah, okay. That sounds good."
