[hippocarnival]

Uh... Hi? [Yuya clears his throat.] I'm Yuya Sakaki. I'm going to be part of the carnival for a while, as an acrobat!

[His enthusiasm falls a little flat, but it's nothing against the Carnival.] Speaking of that--are we really performing in two days? Is anyone else going to stay up to practice?

[What is not broadcast: LOUD SPRAYING OF TEA ALL OVER SHERLOCK'S NOTES IN THE TRAILER. TEA IS EVERYWHERE.

What is broadcast: a lot of barking from 'Suzu', fumbling, crashing-]

Y-YUUYA?!

[Oh hello that sounds familiar.]

[hippocarnival]

[R.I.P. Sherlock's notes.

That voice does sound familiar, though.] Gongenzaka?! When did you get here?

[otoko]

I, THE MAN GONGENZAKA, COULD ASK THE SAME!!

[GONGENZAKA CONFIRMED.] I have been here for a number of months now! Just how did you arrive here?!

[hippocarnival]

Months? But I just--[Beat you to a pulp while possessed by his evil original self and fused to a dragon. Anyway--] I don't know, it was just there! If you've really been here longer, shouldn't you have more answers than me?

[otoko]

Th-

No?! [GIVE HIM A SECOND-] ...W-Where are you?!

[hippocarnival]

I'm in front of the big tent. [Sitting on the ground with his walkie-talkie.] Are you coming to find me?

[otoko]

Of course! [So he says, but-]

...Yuuya. ...before we meet, I, the man Gongenzaka must ask...

...how much of the carnival's functions have been explained to you?

[hippocarnival]

The Ringmaster explained some stuff to me about the contract, and my job, and something about magic and iron. [His tone is a little doubtful at the last part. He hadn't actually asked a lot of the technical questions, once he knew what he was here for and what he was supposed to do.] Oh! And we're performing for some placed called Alola.

[otoko]

Hmmm...I see...

...well, [he begins, voice slowly doubling as he begins to approach from around the tent,] There is certainly magic in this place, it is true...

...but for that reason then, I, the man Gongenzaka, must ask that you not be alarmed...

[The sound of padding feet and tromping hooves is on the air... ...Yuuya may wish to turn around as they stop behind him.]

1/2

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya laughs at that.] Why would I be alarmed? It's weird, but nothing here is scarier than--[And that's when he turns around.]

2/2 -> Action~

[hippocarnival]

[Nevermind he's shrieking.]

smooth, yuuya

[otoko]

[This is the W ORST reaction-

And the giant dogtaur thing is currently holding his hands up in what's hopefully a placating gesture.] A-AAAauh-! Yuuya!!

I, the man Gongenzaka, said do not be alarmed!!!

[hippocarnival]

You didn't say why! Who wouldn't be alarmed?!
[He bounces to his feet to get a better look at Gongenzaka, slackjawed. This is really his friend.] What happened? You--you look like a duel monster!

[otoko]

Nh- What happened is as I, the man Gongenzaka, told you...! I, the man Gongenzaka, have been working for well over a few months..!

Such is what exposure to magical realms causes..! [Also, dying]

...you really think I look like a duel monster, however..?

[He got used to people using other words, honestly, so duel monster as a frame of reference is something of a surprise.]

[hippocarnival]

So that's going to happen to me too?! [What did he sign himself up for!!

He circles around to Gongenzaka's side, which really does confirm his opinion.] You totally look like a duel monster. I guess it looks cool, but... are you okay?

[otoko]

[Quite the sigh comes forward in reply to that, though Gongenzaka does at least remain patient. It figures, really, that you would just jump into this without all the details...]

It is temporary; unless I, the man Gongenzaka so desire, these changes shall vanish once I am finished with my employ. And even then, if I, the man Gongenzaka were to keep such things, it would be under a 'glamor' so as to keep it hidden...

...n...naturally, with that in mind, I, the man Gongenzaka, am quite fine!!

[puddingemote]

You're an acrobat?

[hippocarnival]

[Gongenzaka, you almost say that like you're going to keep it.] You grew limbs.

[But he says he's fine, and Yuya has never had reason to doubt Gongenzaka. So it's weird but--he won't worry (until it starts happening to him.)] So you're in a contact too?

[hippocarnival]

Yeah! I've never worked at a carnival exactly, but I know how to jump. What about you?

[otoko]

It is.. Somewhat complicated, that particular change...

Such things are rare. You should be fine, [he insists, coughing awkwardly.]

However, you are correct! I, the man Gongenzaka have taken upon myself a contract for the purposes of training here!

[...In what??]

[hippocarnival]

But what's the carnival training you in? [Cool action flips?? He hopes Gon isn't taking his loss to Zarc too hard.]

[otoko]

That part is.... ...Undetermined. [Remind him to ask the Ringmaster about some details on that, actually...] It was less 'what' and more 'where', when I, the man Gongenzaka, formed the contract.

Time does not pass where we originated, while we are here after all; therefore, it creates a very unique opportunity for training as a whole.

[puddingemote]

Acrobat. I work the silks. I'll probably be rehearsing the next two days.

[hippocarnival]

[Who jumped into this without details again.] She said that, but it's still confusing. How does time just... stop moving?

[Then again, how to a bunch of cards split a world into 4 duplicate dimensions. Hm.]

[hippocarnival]

Maybe we can practice together? I don't really have a routine yet... What do you do with silk?
