Round 8 [Action + Voice]

[isgorgeous]

[ Action ]

[ Bolin is back to show off the latest fruits of his labors, this time setting up in the square with Pabu for a new display of the Fire Ferret Circus. This also means the return of Bolin's circus barker mustache and costume. ]

Step right up folks and witness the Amazing Pabu performing fantastic feats!

[ And Pabu certainly does perform to his usual standard, walking on front legs for several steps before jumping through a hoop, climbing over the Ladder Of Doom. ]

Isn't he amazing folks?!

[ Later on, once Bolin has packed up the fire ferret circus he'll be opening up his journal for a different reason. ]

[Voice]

I kind of had a quick question. Does anyone know if there's a quick way to get a bunch of helmets, elbow pads and knee pads? Oh and skateboards and roller skates and stuff like that, too. 'Cause the skate park is getting closer to done and it'd kinda suck if people learning ended up hurting themselves.

[Haruka is on the way back from the shops when he catches sight of the flames. He intends to walk past once he realises there's no danger but he ends up slowing to a stop and watching, a bag of his groceries (including fresh white radishes) dangling from his fingertips.

Haruka pretty much ignores the guy, though; what looks like a lesser panda to him is far more interesting. It's well trained, he thinks.

Sorry, folks, no applause from this guy. What a terrible audience you've attracted.]

action 1/2

[isgorgeous]

[ Pabu goes through his little routine, Bolin dramatically announcing each trick until the grand finale where the fire ferret lands on one front paw and balances for a moment. ]

Tada!!

[ Except, there is no clapping. Just a dude staring. ]

[ And Bolin leans forward with an unsublte stage whisper ] Psst, buddy. This is the part where you clap for him.

[aqueousliving]

[Haruka shoots the stranger a sour look -- Does he even understand applause? -- before glancing back at the creature. Still no clapping from Haruka, though.]

What does he eat?

[Maybe he has something in his shopping bag as a treat?]

[isgorgeous]

Well... he eats a lot of stuff. But he can definitely do cookies, crackers and nuts. But only the unsalty ones. [ He's gotta make sure his little buddy doesn't get sick after all. ]

[aqueousliving]

[He doesn't have cookies, but Haruka certainly does have a pack of crackers. Without saying a word, he fishes the pack out -- plain -- and tears it open, offering one to Pabu.

To the stranger, though, he says--]

Is he from here, or your world?

[isgorgeous]

[ Pabu takes the cracker and immediately begins to stuff his face with it. Even after all this time in Luceti neither one of them is going to turn down food when it's offered. ]

Pabu's from my world. He's a fire ferret!

[aqueousliving]

[Who's a cutie fire ferret! Haruka reaches to give Pabu pats. His gaze flickers to the stranger.]

Does that mean he breathes fire?
