Circus Time! [OPEN] (Safi, Hyde and Bocross)

Shun let a smirk sprout at the corner of his lips after Sharaku's statement.

— So, you like cats, huh? Serves you fine. — He finished his slight provocation laughing a bit. That was a bit unexpected coming from Sharaku, but once he gave it a second thought, he was indeed the type who'd have a black panther as a pet. — As for me, if I had to pick an option, I'd rather have a sphinx cat as my personal mascot. — Even he, who wasn't inclined to the idea of having a domestic animal, became interested in fondling a cat sitting in his lap after watching the show's first act.

Then the the second act started. The lights fade away for a moment and no one would know what would come from it — not until the highlights would illuminate the center of the stage, introducing a couple of performers: a man and a woman who joined the stage, holding hands, with impeccable clothing. She, making use of her long dress with tail flowing behind her, would spare a few sensual steps as a cheerful and infectious latin-themed song would play in the background. He, who was wearing a combination of sparkling silver suit, vest and dress pants, would make a bow to the public. He fixed his clothes in a full-of-himself manner only true artists had, and out of nowhere took green spheres out of his wrist. How many? No one could tell, his jugglery skills were way too fast and impressive for anyone to even try. While he would grab the little bright spheres still in the air in many different manners, he would also perform a few steps of tap-dancing in synchrony with his fellow lady. Pirouettes, heels clacking in small jumps, nothing would faze that man. To him, his dance was nothing but something that'd make the jugglery even more impressive. At certain point, he replace the small balls with red hoops. Each time he'd throw a ball to the lady who'd make him company in his number, he'd receive a red loop in return and  perform jugglery with them. Meanwhile, the lady would perform a few pirouettes and swings around the guy, enhancing the beauty of his skills. But if one would think her role was solely based on be a good supporter and stand around him looking pretty, he'd be wrong. She stepped away and, with gracious gestures, demanded the guy to hand her the loops and so he did, exchanging the loops for clubs. At this point, their teamwork and agile dexterity was so clear they made it look like it was nothing, and the lady joined his teammate, making use of the exact same techniques, but holding the previous loops. Shun was indeed amazed by the performers' skills, as if one was the other's reflection, despite using different equipments. After quite some time of unstoppable act, the show ended abruptly with the last loud beat of the latin theme, leaving nothing to be heard but the standing ovation from the public.

— ...wow. — Shunnosuke voiced, astonished. The teen could see now why those artists were so confident at the beginning and why the circus had such an ostensive reputation.
