♕ 002 // Action for Goldenrod (Circus)

-ere.

[Beast, for anyone who remembers her first broadcast some time ago, seems to have gotten the hang of the PokéGear, holding it so that it better shows her from the shoulder up, outside Eve's Garden Circus in Goldenrod.]

Reckon that's workin' now. Ye can 'ear me an' such.

[She looks. Irritated? Stern? Strained? Maybe it's just her face.]

Been 'ere longer 'n I care t'be, but apparently that isn' about to change, so I'll introduce myself proper.

Name's Beast. Animal tamer by trade. [She snorts a bit derisively before muttering under her breath-] Though looks like everyone 'n their brother is claimin' t'be the same in this place.

Any 'ow, I figured to thank the people who tried to talk t'me when I first arrived. Ye'll forgive I weren' exactly the 'appiest woman at the time, seein' as I think takin' that sort a arrival calmly might mean yer off in the 'ead.

Didn' get most a yer names, but I appreciate what ye done.

[Which is the closest she'll come to apologizing for how she treated some of you. Take it or leave it.]

That said, 'll be takin' up at the circus time bein'. 'd like t' 'ave a few words with anyone who considers themself a part a that. In person, preferably. This gear'll do if yer away.

Good day t'ye.

[Look at that- so polite.]
diehardreaper: ([<3] | Say that you want me)

Wager everyone's an animal trainer of sorts 'round this part now. Course, m'not belittling your skill, miss.

[ He's currently somewhere around town but mental note to pop over to say hi when he comes back from his cycling. ]

Apologies all around though. Didn't get to greet you your first day in. I was prolly trying to figure this all out myself but... bob's your uncle, here we are, eh? If I knew a lass like you was in a spot of trouble, I would've come 'round, no question.

[ Have a small two fingered salute though. ]

It's Ronald Knox, by the by. Judging from where you are, we'll be seeing a bit of each other at the circus, I suppose.
diehardreaper: ([<3] | And everyone wants to have one)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-05 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's prolly what we've been handed here to do so, why not, eh? Though the residents are a touch friendlier'n what you might be used to so back home, I'd still call what you have a skill.

[ There's an approving little nod from his duskull. ]

Joker said he'd known my boss from home. You lot know him as... Suit? I offered to give it a go, whatever he used to do to fill his spot. Figured it'd be only right.

diehardreaper: ([!!] | And the party won't stop)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-05 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I figure it'd be a bit of a holiday from the usual grind.

[ Hm. More of that. Joker did have almost the same reaction when they first spoke. ]

Yeah. I was acting as backup for the collection. T'was a big job, after all. Hardly anything one reaper could take on his own.

[ A beat to think. ]

You know, you did say something about speaking to people in private so... if you'll give me a bit, I could come 'round and... d'you fancy some tea? Coffee? There's a cafe somewhere in town we can talk. My treat.
diehardreaper: ([??] ► It's back it up)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-05 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Tea it is. I'll save the details for later. Give me about... ten minutes?
But a bit of a question while I ride.

[ He'll just pause so he can mount his bike again. ]

What's the last thing you remember? No wrong answers and nothing's too ridiculous or impossible. You can be as vague as you wish.
diehardreaper: ([♥] ◄ Even scent grabbers)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-05 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And he'll save his answer for when he actually gets there. Ronald ends up riding up right outside the circus on his bicycle with a ponyta galloping by his side and a duskull chilling in the bike basket. Said duskull gives a happy little wave as Ron hits the brakes. ]

Fair's fair. We've just met so... the last memory's prolly a bit private. Best I not pry, eh?

[ He'll pause again to get off, holding out a pokeball to call back the ponyta. ]

That's his exercise for the day done, then. And... Beast, right? Nothing beastly about you, that I can tell.

[ And holding his hand out for a proper greeting. ]
hardknoxlife: ([heh] ☼ So the best advice)

[personal profile] hardknoxlife 2014-10-05 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh hey, the lady has a grip. One he appreciates. Grim however seems to shrink back slightly and remain in his basket. ]

Absolutely charmed, miss. Now then... best we talk over that tea we agreed on. If you're ready, we can head off whenever you please.

[ He'll just take to wheeling his bike after he steps off it. ]

Wager you've just arrived too, then? I've been here nary a month, myself.
hardknoxlife: ([...] | Because I'm one of a kind)

[personal profile] hardknoxlife 2014-10-06 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that'd explain away why I didn't hear of you the first time round. Wish I could've been a bit more help though.

[ And so he begins to lead them down the street. ]

How're you getting along though?
hardknoxlife: ([??] ☼ Suckers punks busters)

[personal profile] hardknoxlife 2014-10-07 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's a relief, isn't it? S'not so bad here... bit of a holiday, as I've considered.

[ He's just going to go ahead and wheel his bike to the parking racks of a quaint little cafe, something by the roadside. ]

Now then, wager you said something about Mister Spears and I working for the peelers?
diehardreaper: ([!!] | And the party won't stop)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-08 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Blow me, course not!

[ Give him a second to pull a chair out for her. ]

Haven't the slightest of what you're going on about though. Mister Spears and myself aren't what you'd call peelers, much less part of the ruddy government, mind.

Like I said, we're reapers, me and him. M'sure you've prolly heard a few of the stories. Grandfather Death and all?
hardknoxlife: ([♥] ☼ Too close to me)

[personal profile] hardknoxlife 2014-10-12 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ All the innocent blinking back at her. ]

Yeah, it'd prolly sound like a load of bollocks to anyone so I can't say I blame you there. Mister Spears joking though, [ A laugh. ] now that's something, isn't it? He was never the sort to pull anyone's leg. Always said he either needed to get that stick lodged up his arse out or have a good shag.

[ But back to the matter at hand... ]

Don't even have my scythe on me or my To Die list to prove a point...

[ Hmm... how best to prove it. ]

Wouldn't take a bloke on his good word, would you...?
diehardreaper: ([eh] | The lights are shining down)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-13 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't be making a flam out of something as serious as this, honest I wouldn't.

[ Okay, time to think... what was the last thing he remembered...? ]

...Didn't remember seeing you at the manor that night. M'sure I'd remember a lass like you... You prolly went to the Phantomhive place, didn't you? With the rest of them?
diehardreaper: ([ch] Aim pull the trigger)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-13 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We've been dealing with the Phantomhives ever since Mister Sutcliffe went rogue, really and that was oh... prolly a good few months before Mister Spears joined up with you lot. He and Bassy don't quite get along.

[ He'll just ruffle his hair at the memory. ]

Met the lad before I came here, actually! Couldn't have his butler running 'round. The Board'll have me on overtime for a month if they heard I let a demon steal anything on my list.

diehardreaper: ([uu] | If they want to know the truth)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-10-13 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And he'll just throw his hands up in a sign of surrender, just to show her he's not going to retaliate. Grim's a little on edge though, peering out of the basket, ready to step between them if need be. ]

Right! I'll... just stay out of your hair then!
