Hello, hello, hello Beautiful stranger How familiar the danger Slipping into the shadows "Step right up! Take a look at the wonders, the oddities! See a preview, take a flyer! The Cirque de Betes is in town!" The man laughing, his voice loud and booming, no need for a microphone. His name was Vincent, a long-time member of the cirque and their snake man. His skin was a range of dark green and pale yellow scales, his pupils stilted, tongue long and forked. Even now he wore only a pair of shorts, letting the crowd gape in awe at him. His snake rested over his shoulders, eyeing the crowd as he gestured. Vincent was always the flamboyant type, that being the reason she had allowed him to draw the crowd in.
With him were four others: Tanya, the sword swallower and exotic beauty; Malrick, one of the strongman twins; and Alexander, the knife thrower and fire eater. The four were usual among the carnies, crowd favorites and simple acts that didn't require much set up. Which, of course, made them perfect for these kind of things. Vincent continued to shout, drawing quite the crowd around them. Malrick flexed, showing off his bulging muscles. Alexander had his board already set up and was currently making the crowd awe by eating fire.
"Like moths to a flame," Adrien whispered softly. She was farther from the crowd, perched atop a small wall, legs dangling over the edge. Olive eyes lined in heavy black kohl were focused on the crowd, a small smirk on her lips. Really, it was all too easy. Not only were they a circus, and exciting thing in it's self, but they were aliens. Adrien had first thought to hide this fact. It would be easier for the Force to find them, after all. But, questions had been asked and she found that it increased the popularity of the circus. And, if she could get protection of Earth from the Force... it would be worth it in the end.
Adrien crossed her legs, heels of her thigh-high boots clicking on the wall. Ah yes, there was quite a gathering. A few days time and they'd be packed full. The four were definitely perfect for this job. Her gaze turned, eyes closing as her face met the sky. The sun was so much warmer here. It was...strange. But, perhaps it could be a good kind of strange.
High stakes, three shakes, no breaks Triple the wager Three clicks in the chamber Three chances to claim her

With everything that he needed packed away, Conri slung the duffel bag over his shoulder and headed down to where his motorcycle had been parked. It was there that he began to see people flocking towards a certain direction and some talking about a circus? He couldn't quite make it out, but they had gotten his curiosity spurred to check what was going on now. As the scene came into view he got a look at what everyone else was so entranced by, and was a bit confused by what he was seeing here. There was a person with scales calling to the crowd and inviting them to take a flyer for their Cirque de Betes.
Walking forward Conri's eyes glanced to the muscle man for a moment, his tail twitching as he felt a bit of competitiveness spark up. He picked up a flyer, reading over it quickly his tail flicking back and forth with a bit of excitement. This seemed like an interesting little shindig, but he was more curious about the guy with the bulging muscles. As he circled around him for a moment in an attempt to gauge his strength, he figured he might be able to catch a glimpse of his power.
"So, how strong are you exactly?" he asked, rather straightforwardly, keeping a grin on his features. It would be fun to test his own strength against this person, but only if he had the strength to match the half-saiyan. It was difficult trying to think of a less blunt way to ask the question he had, but Conri was never good at using his words. Well, he used words, but he just wasn't exactly the most tactful person there was.
"Care to have a bit of a contest then?" his grey eyes belayed his excitement at the prospect of having a bit of competition to see who was stronger. Whether he won or lost wasn't the important thing he would be taking from this situation. Although his attention had become distracted when he glanced towards a certain wall and spotted a woman sitting all by her lonesome.
Without having waited for an answer, in a single leap he crossed the crowd and landed in front of the wall to gaze up at the woman. It wouldn't have been good to land on it, if he hit it too hard it might shake things and cause her to fall.
"Hello there, Miss," he greeted, his smile widening a bit as, finding her to be more interesting than the challenge he gave the strong man. He could get back to that at a later time, he figured there were few chances to meet with such a pretty woman. (Hope you don't mind me joining~)

"mamma! I wanna see! I wanna see!" A little girl said as she pulled her mother's hand towards the circus. She was excited, giggling as she pulled her once again.
She watched the little girl, wondering how that small girl could be so excited for a circus. Really, she found it to be silly. All these people running around, happily enjoying themselves over something silly and trivial. But then again, she was there watching everyone as they walked by. But she wasn't here for the entertainment. No, not at all. No she could feel the undercurrent of energy that seemed to surround this place. It was faint enough that one had to be looking for it.
"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London bridge is falling down, my fair lady." She sung softly to herself as she continued to walk, her white skirt moving behind her with a wind that no one else felt. Her white tank top clung to her body, her generous breast straining against the material. "Build them up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold. Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady."
Seiko gave a man with his wife, a lusty smile, causing him to stare. Even as she walked away, she could hear his wife yelling at him, and soon the sound of a loud smack. Of yes, she couldn't go anywhere without causing some sort of disturbance.

It took him a while, but within a week Toshiro had somehow adjusted back to civilian life. Of course he still kept up his training when he could, but it was nice to live the life he once had before he became a fighter. He wore something a lot more casual now, blue jeans, white sneakers, and a black t-shirt with a white outline of a tiger head on it, still keeping to his usual theme.
He honestly was just passing by through the city, but an eerie presence had guided him to the circus performance on top of the crowd gathering around it. ”Cirque de Betes?” he repeated to himself, confused as to what kind of language it was, chances are it might be an alien language. He had grown to notice an ever growing number of non-humans that made Earth their home, but he did not mind it, it was no different from the multiple cultures around, this just expanded their diversity on a universal scale.
“Wow. Did he just, eat fire?” While he got himself fixated to the show, some idiot jumped up on stage to his annoyance and ruined it, they did even ask for volunteers yet! Noticing the tail, it was probably one of those battle hungry Saiyans. Toshiro refrained himself from jumping up there too and challenging his strength as well as the bulky guy, he’d rather not draw too much attention to himself, not yet anyway.
“Huh?” He turned to where that man jumped to next, he didn’t even notice the woman sitting on top of the wall, what was going on? Then he noticed a woman in white walk pass him, who looked exceptionally beautiful he was almost sure she was alien without sensing her out. The man sighed lightly to himself, he couldn’t make much of this situation but he had a thought in mind.
“Good grief, looks like the circus did gather round some weirdos…”

“Kuro! Why the hell are you this excited for the circus?!” Mozoku yelled to Kurosanai as he darted down the street towards the ever growing crowd. “It is not like you haven’t seen anything like it before!” it was true but for whatever reason Kurosanai loved to see the circus. The idea of all the different oddities of the planet gathered in one place always excited him. Maybe it was because he really only got to live inside of the Muzai compound and explore the uninhabitated wilderness or the small village that was nearby. Rarely did he get to go into the city and even rarer was it to go see a circus.
“Oh come on Mozoku lighten up! How often do we get to go to the circus?!” Kurosanai laughed back at his friend. Kurosanai was dressed in a pair of cargo pants and had his torso bandaged up. He often opted not to wear a shirt because the bandages seemed to get caught on it. His arms were also wrapped in bandages except for his finger tips. Tossed over his almost naked torso was a dark blue biker styled jacket. He was quite an oddity himself compared to the way everyone else seemed to dress.
“Not very often! And this is part of the reason why!” Mozoku snapped back. Mozoku had to been tasked with the job of trying to rein in Kurosanai when he got like this. Even though the black haired youth was supposed to be the prodigy of the Muzai clan he was often one of the most childish of them. Mozoku had chalked it up to it being his way of dealing with the pressure most of the clan put on him in order to restore the family name.
As Kurosanai darted between people he was hit in the face by a flyer that had happened to be picked up by the wind. He pulled the flyer away and began to read it without stopping, something he should have thought about more carefully. Cirque de Betes: A Show From the Stars “Man don’t tell me this is a circus from somewhere from the stars. That would be so aweso-“ Kurosanai started to say in excitement before he looked down just in time to see he was about to barrel into a small child.
The black haired youth jumped awkwardly into the air just barely avoiding the child as the parent watched in horror. Kurosanai landed on one foot and tried to turn to apologize only to continue stumbling towards the stage. He managed to barely miss a few people but then unfortunately slammed into a woman that was stunningly beautiful with white hair. Kurosanai was unable to appreciate her beauty as he continued to smash into people due to his momentum. Eventually he broke free of the crowd went to gain his footing again and hit a small hole in the road that caused him to stumble forward. He smashed into a man standing just in front of a wall. Kurosanai had enough momentum to carry both of them into the wall where Kurosanai’s head smashed against the wall. The black haired youth fell to the ground holding his head in pain. “Not my most graceful moment,” Kurosanai grunted in pain.
When he opened his eyes he found himself looking up at a beautiful woman sitting on the top of the wall. There was something about her that caused his heart to flutter a little bit. She was like nothing he had ever seen before. “A..alo,”Kurosanai stated stupidly as he lay on his back looking up at her.

Such a beautiful day...and no better a day than to gather a crowd, ready them for the circus, the Cirque de Betes. One of the strongmen twins, the beautiful sword swallower, and who could forget the knife thrower and fire eater? All freaks, yet combined they become an enjoyable act, not ridiculed, insulted, but applauded. And, of course, their snake man, the words bringing forth a crowd belted from betwixt green lips and off forked tongue.
They weren't the only ones there, either. It was a well known technique to use your own people to start drawing in a crowd. A few well placed, normal looking carnies, and soon the audience would just flock to them, eager to see what the fuss and hullabaloo is all about. They would leave afterward, but some carnies got carried away, standing in the crowd as they cheered on the efforts of the show.
Tenshi, however, was not in the crowd. She had chosen to watch from a tree, eyeing the crowd, mostly for fun, but always on the lookout for ne'erdowells. And it was from atop a branch, wings closed in, that she watched, a Saiyan make a fool of himself, pulling up on the stage. It didn't last long. Adrienne's beauty always seemed to have a visual gravitational pull for men, and sometimes seemed to have a physical one as well. What Tenshi assumed to be human, although since her time in the circus, she had come to realise that aliens could look just as human as the humans of Earth, wearing a black shirt, just watching the show. She saw his muscles tense up slightly, out of arrogance, aggravation, or maybe just a twitch, she didn't know, as the Saiyan climbed atop the stage.
A woman in white floated through the crowd, drawing Tenshi's attention, and the attention of many males. 'She's almost as pretty as Adrienne,' she thought to herself, kicking her legs. Children of all ages and sizes, running around, watching, clapping, laughing. Men and women, acting just like their children. Tenshi loved a good crowd, and this one seemed alright.
She was just standing up, getting ready to descend to Adrienne on the wall, when another man caught her eye. Wearing no shirt, but bandaged almost all the way up, and a leather jacket, he seemed to trip, and...well, continue tripping. It just seemed to go on and on, almost like it was purpose, but judging by the shock on his face, it couldn't have been. Jumping over a kid is when he lost his balance, passing the woman in white, another lady, some kids, through some hoops and over some barrels, and finally, wound up crashing into a man, slamming him and himself into the wall.
Tenshi had already leapt gracefully from her tree, wings flapping, plain cloth garbs flowing in the wind. By the time she landed next to Adrienne, the young man had already said his greeting.
"'E could be in the circus 'imself, ay?" She laughed heartedly, her tone one of a joke. "The amazing man, and his never ending fall." She sat beside Adrienne on the wall, lightly, folding her wings back behind her. Her pants were tan, held up by a leather belt, white button up t-shirt covering her abdomen. The sleeves were rolled up just below her elbows, the collar down, first two buttons undone, feet bare. It wasn't her most attractive attire, but she wasn't out to turn heads.

"So, how strong are you exactly?" Adrien's gaze turned back to her performers. A man stood before Marick. He didn't stand out too much, her strongman dwarfing him even with his muscled body. Blue hair, and a brown haired tail really made him stand out. Her eyes narrowed in on said tail, curious. She had seen many. Most of the people wanting to join her circus had tails, their novelty was quickly outgrown on her. Though, she was still curious.
"Care to have a bit of a contest then?" the man continued. Malrick blinked, glancing over at Adrien. It was then that the man noticed her too. With a single leap he cleared the crowd, landing before her effortlessly. Adrien simply stared down at him. Such and odd man. There it was, the voice. The sweet purr that sounded so like her, and yet so different at the same time. It was her constant companion, the voice that has been with her since childhood. Even went she didn't see or hear the others, she heard this one. She blinked, gaze focusing on the man once more. He still stood there, staring up at her with that cocky smile. Before she could answer him, a disturbance in the crowd stole her attention. A man was stumbling, or tripping his way through the crowd. Into the cocky man he crashed, hitting the wall hard and laying on the ground beneath her. He was quite cute, as innocent as the other man cocky. And once again, before she could respond to either, a familiar face landed beside her.
Tenshi, the Winged Woman of her circus. A trapeze artist of great talent. Of course, Adrien's respect came from Tenshi's actions against her former partner. She listened quietly to the girl's teasing, that cockney accent as thick as ever. Her full lips eased into a slow smile. She crossed and uncrossed her legs, simply gazing down, waiting for any other interruptions. She was dressed to attract attention, unlike the woman to her side. Black, thigh high boots, short black shorts. A silk, black under-bust corset accented her curvy silhouette, a blood-red top finishing her look. Without taking her eyes from the men before her, she leaned closer to Tenshi.
"Tumblers are a dime a dozen," she said simply. She turned, reaching toward her carnies delicately. Malrick was at her side in a second, lifting her from the wall and placing her before the men. She was a tiny thing, made even more so by the giant of a man behind her. And yet, even then, her presence was greater than his. She turned her olive gaze to the cocky man.
"You claim to be stronger than my Strongman? Why not put that claim to the test?" she suggested. She spun suddenly, turning to the crowd.
"Would you all like to see that? See this man try to best my performer?!" she asked. The crowd answered her with cheers, begging for a show.

Conri was never one to be bothered with the ‘proper’ way of doing things, the only thing that mattered to him was doing what he wanted. Was it selfish? Absolutely, but that was his choice to make about the way he lived his life, he didn’t care what other people would think about it. So instead of being bothered that the people were staring at him due to his antics, he simply ignored them and focused on the important thing at hand. However, it seemed that before he could even begin to try and talk there was a disturbance from the crowd in the form of someone tumbling around without any coordination. Though Conri believed it was an attack coming at him and prepared to counter such an action.
The man came colliding into Conri before he could completely move, but thankfully the half-Saiyan wasn’t completely unprepared. A burst of psychokinetic energy propelled him a few feet out of the tumbling man’s path watching as he crashed into the wall. The small ki blast he had readied quickly disappeared, it wasn’t who he had thought it was, just a clumsy human from what he could see. His muscles relaxed, he kept telling himself that it wasn’t the man he assumed so they weren’t deserving of his built up rage. Glancing up at the woman as another woman joined her, both were rather attractive in their own ways, it was a rather interesting sight. He’d have to check this little cirque out a bit more, especially if it was full of attractive women, but first things first.
Well, he wanted to say that but it seemed that the woman was already focusing on him now, and was in fact the leader of this whole shindig. Which he felt a bit awkward now, considering that the reason he jumped over here was that he thought she looked a bit lonely. A chuckle to himself, that would teach him to jump to conclusions like that or not. The strong man was there to help her down from the wall, a strange thing to Conri as well, but that was less important than the fact that she was looking at him. His own stormy Grey eyes meeting hers, as she spoke about the thing that he had been looking for in the first place.
“Well, I never claimed I was stronger, but that’s the fun of the contest. The unknown stronger person will come out victorious,” the initial reason he had come here had resurfaced and that was good, he wanted to test the limits of his strength. The crowd that had gathered seemed excited enough at the prospect as well, that would make things a bit more interesting as well. The woman was quite good at her job of stirring up the crowds, he had to give her credit for that, he supposed it couldn’t hurt to at least help gather more people.
He was just happy that he would be able to get what he wanted out of this, if this guy was strong then he would be shown that he still had a long way to go. Otherwise, he had reached another marker towards his goal, which would make him happy as well. Either way it was a win for him in his mind, and he would be taking whatever he got with him.
“So, shall we get this started then?” he asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He was quite excited for the possibility for a competition, he could let loose his power fully now.

He had to admit, he was seeing something different, and he thought he’d seen it all after mastering ki manipulation. “Hey, fire eating guy! What else can you do?!” Toshiro called in his request towards Alexander, the rest weren’t all that appealing to him. Tanya was a beauty to behold like the other lady, the fact she was swallowing a sword earlier sort of freaked him out. As for the flexing muscle twins; they were way too manly for him to stare at.
Then there were to two guests that invited themselves in, and men wondered why they were usually called idiots by women. “The fools, that one’s got an ego and the other’s so clumsy, and heading straight for me, crap…” Toshiro shifted to the side nimbly as Kurosanai tumbled past him, he’d try to stop him but the whole place was too crowded for that, good thing he was heading for a wall!
He watched the ensuing side show the two men had started at the wall and the crowd focused towards, but he didn’t see another woman swooping in from out of nowhere. “Another female presence I didn’t sense, those two friends?” Toshiro wondered, and he couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was more to it than the circus meant to be, what were these aliens?
The crowd went nuts when the lady asked if they wanted to see this competition of strength, and now all eyes were on them. “Nooooo… I wanted to see more of what the fire eating guy could do!” Toshiro wept internally, Toshiro couldn’t care less but he’d have to endure it so they can go back to the good stuff.
“Might as well sense this guy’s natural ki out and see if he can back up all that confidence…]” Toshiro focused on Conri’s ki, and soon realised to his disappointment that he was stronger than him, damn, Toshiro still had a long way to go.

Smashing into a wall should be humiliation enough for being so clumsy but having the guy you almost smashed into jumped high into the air with a ball of ki in his hand is priceless. Despite being mainly focused on the beautiful woman that sat atop the wall his eyes watched the man very carefully. At first it seemed like he was going to launch an attack at Kurosanai for his clumsiness at which point he would have had to reveal his true power. But in the meantime he would much prefer to hide his various abilities as a way to avoid drawing attention to himself. If the man wanted to be the center of attention in that way he would be more than happy to let him. Kurosanai was there to see the circus and enjoy himself despite Mozoku’s prattling. Luckily the man extinguished the ball of ki before anything happened that would require an appropriate reaction. This allowed Kurosanai to rise to his feet in peace as he dusted himself off. The tumbling was far from his proudest moment or graceful one for that matter.
The woman descended from the wall before never actually responding to Kurosanai. Instead her focus was on the man who had the unfortunate circumstance of being in his way. The man was well built, better built than Kuro which was rather impressive. Kuro never wanted to be the biggest man on the face of the planet with muscle mass. It was how he was brought up, all that extra muscle wasn’t conducive to the Muzai fighting style. The man certainly had an interesting color palette as he wore a strange shade of blue with an even stranger shade of purple complimenting it but that could be how everyone dressed in the normal world outside of the compound. This was only ascented by the man’s light blue hair, a shade that could not have been natural, that was pulled back in a pony tail. The pony tail was another mystery to Kuro as it was traditional for Muzai males to keep their hair short while the women let it grow out very long. To the Muzai prodigy he looked incredibly flamboyant but maybe that was how all males looked in the mainstream culture. After all of that though the most interesting thing about the man was the tail that whipped back and forth behind him, Kurosanai had remembered reading literature on it. The man was of Saiyan blood which meant that he had untold power lying dormant in his veins just like Kuro.
While flamboyant in his appearance the man was far from the most interesting thing to look at. I mean they were at a circus, and even with that said Kurosanai could not take his eyes off of the female that had been helped down by the strong man. Her red hair was that of a red plum, a fruit that was considered a Muzai delicacy, and her eyes as strong as the spine of the mountains. Yet her small figure and the few wafts of aroma that Kurosanai could manage to get from where he stood seemed to knock him clear off his feet. He even glanced to the ground to make sure that he wasn’t falling again. Then something inside of him that he had never felt before seemed to be triggered when the woman seemed to pay exclusive attention to the half Saiyan. The fact of the matter is that Kurosanai was so focused on her that he seemed to lose feeling of all that was around him until she spoke again.
“You claim to be stronger than my Strongman? Why not put that claim to the test?” Her voice seemed to have this quality to it that sent shivers down his spine. What was going on? Why was this happening? “Would you all like to see that? See this man try to best my performer?!” The crowd roared in excitement at the fact that the show was possibly going to start early. It was at that moment that Kurosanai felt a stupid grin grow on his face.
He was going to get his chance not only to see the circus but also be a part of it. Surely Mozoku was struggling somewhere in the crowd to get to him but he could care less right now. Even though the challenge was not directed at him but he was going to be part of the show no matter what. Before he was able to answer though the flamboyant Saiyan managed to answer first accepted the woman’s challenge.
“I would love to be part of a competition!” Kurosanai said as he stepped in front of the Saiyan and the woman. He wasn’t going to be ignored. “I am not sure if I can lift my then lunky there but I will certainly give everyone a show.” He continued as he laughed off the idea of getting smoked by the strong man. The fact of matter was that Kurosanai had never really pushed himself as far as strength was concerned so he had no idea how strong he actually was. “If it is a chance to be part of the circus I would love any chance that came my way.” He blurted as his excitement continued. He may not have enjoyed the spot light when he was in the compound for the simple fact that everyone held him up to such high regard there was never any room for error. Here in the city he could act like a complete fool and no one would know the wiser. The one thing he made sure of though was that he suppressed his power down so anyone who happened to be a warrior would not give him a second look over.

Things were going even better than she planned. One by one, Earthlings were flocking to the impromptu show, all eager to see. The man who issued the challenge first quickly agreed. Not far behind him was the tumbler. Perfect.
Want. Want, want, want!
Patience.
The voice continued to plead, wanting more. Adrien knew what it wanted. But, now was not the time, nor the place for such pleasures. Instead, she turned to the men with a slow, easy grin. It held promise, excitement, danger. This was just the opportunity she needed. It would take long for the Force to find out she was here. She needed allies, strong ones. Especially if they sent Him. She walked over to her makeshift stage that her performers had set up. Malrick stepped up beside her. she turned, party to the crowd, party toward the two men.
"An open invitation to anyone who dares! The first to out lift my Strongman will receive not only a tour of the show after hours, but a chance to be in the circus! Will any besides these brave men step up?!" she called out to them, arms out stretched wide. It was an old trick the Ringmaster taught her. Give the people what they want: a show, and a chance to star in it. Make them puddy in your hands and use them. Well, lets see what she had to work with. Malrick leaned down, whispering softly in her ear as the other three prepared wordlessly.
"My lady," he whispered, "Do you think this is a good idea?"
She nodded, gaze moving over the crowd, waiting for those who dared to step forward.
"Yes. Don't push too hard at first. Let's see what these Earthings can do... We may end up needing them. If not... I'll deal with the winner," she whispered back, the grin still on her face. The voice giggled in glee, excited by the prospect of feeding.

Things were really starting to get interesting now with this little gathering of people. First, the runt that had crashed into him had decided to join in on the fun and games, saying that he would compete against Conri and the strong man. Well that was fine with him, the more competition the better, he enjoyed having people to test his mettle against. The strong man alone would be a challenge, but add in more people and the prospects of finding strong rivals grew as well. A grin of his own forming at that prospect, maybe he'd find a worthy rival in a place he never expected to find one.
The woman then began to speak towards the crowd to call for more people to join in the little competition. His tail flicked back and forth with an eager excitement that more people would step up to test themselves. It wouldn't make a difference to him really, he would take on anyone and everyone that challenged him. Win or lose it was the competition that made things exciting for him and that was the main thing he wanted.
"Hm, I was hoping for some more competition," he scratched at his cheek lightly, disappointment in his voice. Where was everyone with their boasting about being able to lift more than the three of them combined. He thought there would be one in this crowd, but it seemed that he was mistaken, ah well, can't have everything. Turning his attention towards his two main sources of competition, he smirked slightly, he wondered how strong these two really were. Following the pair from the circus, he glanced around trying to see if there was anyone that might have looked interesting amongst them. There were a few people that stood out amongst the crowd, and he thought of an interesting idea.
"Why not make a wager to go along with it? Maybe that will draw more people in as well? Offer something that everyone might need or want," he offered a suggestion up to the woman, seeing that she was the boss of the circus. What to offer he had no idea, there wasn't a whole lot in the way that could be offered either, he supposed. Then again maybe the woman would know of something to entice the crowd a bit more and get some more competition.

Toshiro watched as the events went on, the crowd was going nuts and it was sort of getting annoying how crazed they were. However something caught his attention, the woman was calling out anyone who would dare to compete as well. Could she sense people like him from the crowd? Or just assuming others like the two men were among the crowd too. There was that weird power still lingering around as well, he’d lose his chance to investigate after the show was over.
He then realised, he almost forgot his own ambitions, to be famous and get some attention. Wasn’t’ this his chance to make his name known? But the inner kid wanted to see more amazing things that he probably would never see again, unless he somehow miraculously joined this circus. “There’s no other way around this, I might as well…” he decided as he put up the courage to get up there too.
He tried to call out but the crowd was talking amongst themselves in such loud chatter, and honestly he didn’t want to shout and come off as being pushy, so he had an alternative. He simple raised a hand in the air with the fingers pointed upwards. He then let light green ki extend out of his knuckles like blades, also emitting a light humming of energy. “I wish to take part as well! I think it’s clear who the strongest is, appearances can be deceiving after all.”” Toshiro stated as the crowd quietened down and cleared a way for him to walk up to the stage, he couldn’t help but smirk a little.
Though it looked like he was being arrogant, he was really hinting he could sense energy to those who were aware. The ki blades retracted as he clenched his fist then joined the two men, awaiting for the competition to begin. “May the strongest man win,” he addressed the competitors.
