[118.11295] - Public WTF

[musicinmotion]

[Of all the things that Yuuri had expected to happen because he went to a carnival, getting apparently stuck with said carnival had not been on the list.

He was honestly waiting to wake up from this weird fever dream.]

Could..would anyone--if there's anyone listening--be willing to help me out? I'm not entirely sure where I'm suppose to be going. [A pause.] Or doing.

[He'd been given a trailer number and told he'd be a showman. Real descriptive.]

M-my name is Katsuki Yuuri. By the way.

[Someone's unsettled.]

Well then, I suppose our next task is to find a place to practice.

[ which most likely is going to be harder than it seems ]

[musicinmotion]

That's actually something I wanted to eventually talk to someone about. Without a rink I'm not really sure what I can do performance wise. I mean, I can dance but..

[He preferred to be on the ice.]

[kingsroads]

How thick does the ice need to be? I can manipulate the weather with my magic—perhaps I can make the temperature cold enough to create your rink!

[musicinmotion]

[Yuuri's quiet for a second as he tries to remember all the specifics.]

At least five inches, just to be on the safe side. A stable temperature is important, too. And humidity. So it'd have to be someplace where everything could be kept at a constant so it doesn't melt or thin out.

[kingsroads]

That sounds like a challenge I'd gladly take up. [ and Strange, in his arrogance, just thinks 'hell yeah I can totally make this rink happen' whether or not he'd actually be able to do so in the first place. ]

Of course, it would probably be easier if the rink was made in an enclosed space. There's less variables to work with, after all.

[musicinmotion]

[He's liking this guy more and more.]

That's how rinks are usually set up back home! They're indoor so managing everything is a lot easier!

[kingsroads]

[ man it is just the same on Strange's end: you are cool people, Yuuri and the more he talks with him, the more Strange grows to like this guy ]

You know, the two of us could set up an act for the show that way. We'll take the Big Top, I'll do a little bit of magic, freeze the floor, conjure up some snow, and then you could skate for everyone!

[musicinmotion]

You--really?

[Oh. Oh he likes the sound of this! He wasn't really sure what he was going to do to earn his keep and work off his debt but, Strange, you may have just made his life so much easier.]

I'd love to!

[kingsroads]

[ Yuuri gets to show off and do what he's best at, Strange also gets to show off and do what he's best at, it's a win-win situation. ]

Wonderful! In that case, once you're all settled in, we should meet at the Big Top and start practicing.

[ except at some point they'll go into Atlantis and huh, being underwater'll make this a billion times harder. ]

Oh, and I'm terribly sorry but I don't think I've ever told you my name. I am Jonathan Strange. Pleased to meet you, Yuuri.

[musicinmotion]

[You've made him feel so much better about all of this, Jonathan!]

Yeah! I can--did you want to meet today? Or tomorrow? I just need to check on my fiance and then find my trailer but I'm not object to meeting up whenever you have time!

[He's excited, can you tell?]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Jonathan!

[kingsroads]

If your fiancee is here, then tomorrow would be best. After all, I don't want to take time away from you and her.

[musicinmotion]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind! I know he hasn't to get settled, too.

[kingsroads]

[ Ah. He. Strange simply files that away so that he won't make any missteps later. ]

Feel free to take as long as you need to get settled. I know that this place can be a bit...disorienting for new arrivals.

[musicinmotion]

Everyone's been really nice so far, so that's helped. It's made everything seem a lot less intimidating. And overwhelming.

[kingsroads]

It's the least people can do! If you haven't been to Faerie before, the experience is...well, certainly overwhelming. Also, likely confusing.

[musicinmotion]

It's already been pretty confusing but I really do appreciate everything you've told me and just talking to you. It's helped. A lot.

[kingsroads]

Well, I'm glad that even in this slight way, I could be of service.
