"What's that supposed to mean?" Zhafira frowns, even though she was thinking of doing exactly that.
"I wonder what we'll be seeing there. it might not look as impressive as the things we see every day. But the fact that there's no ghouls involved is already pretty inviting." Serpico comments, feeling up for some light hearted fun, if that's what Farnese would like to see.
"Agreed, let's see what they have there."
"Well then what are we waiting for? Off to see the show!" Puck leads the way, the blue trail of dust indicating where Rita was.
Meanwhile, you started preparing your runes for when night fell. Knowing how both Casca and guts are branded, they could bring enough monsters here to destroy the town. It was best to prevent any further mishaps.
Even if your wards didn't go so far as to prevent the monsters from showing up, they masked enough of their scent to not be a target for darkness.
"I can hear the music!" Zhafira claps along with the sounds of the accordion.
A large group was formed as they danced and skipped next to the music players. At the center of it all, stood a short girl and her dog, ordering the pet to jump and do several flips in the air.
"Ready, Irk? Jump, jump!" The people clapped and cheered as the dog passed through rings and ran along a small circuit prepared by the group.
"Now, for my next trick, I'll need someone from our lovely audience to volunteer."
"MEMEMEMEMEME!" Zhafira lifted her hands up in delight. Who would have thought that keeping her in a good mood would make her mind less forgetful?
"Are you sure it's a good idea?" Farnese arcs for reassurance.
"What could go wrong?" You can only hope for the best.
"Hah, looks like you are already in gear, are you a jester of sorts?" Rita tilted her head as she tied her to some planks, placing an apple above her head, noticing Zhafira's makeup.
"Oh, I know this trick! I'll stay still for you!" She remembers the tricks she used on her younger brother for practice. Maybe that's why Benny was so eager to stay away from her.
Taking some distance as the straps were placed, Rita did several front flips and handstands before throwing several knives onto Zhafira with all of them hitting straight onto the the wood frame, the biggest one going through the apple and being stuck a centimeter above Zhafira's head.
"I'm ok!" She lifts her hand up to prove her good health, yet her prosthetic falls on the floor. Startling Rita as she momentarily thought she hurt her assistant.
With another round of applause, Rita guided Zhafira back to your group, showing you the inner part of a hat to ask for tips.
