HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Morgan Fisher
Talent: Contortionist
RP of Talent:
A lithe, young man in a fitted body suit padded onto the stage, wheeling a smaller stage in front of him. He reached the center and leaned down to lock the wheels of the smaller stage in place. Instead of simply standing back up, he put his hands on the ground, curled up into a hand stand, and waved at the crowd with his feet. Confidently, he walked himself over to the stage and then flipped up onto it. He faced the stage and slowly slid down into a full split before waving to the crowd with a smile.

Morgan swung his legs from the split back around to lay flat, then this legs curled up and his feet planted on either side of his head. Then, he lifted up to rest on his forearms and slowly spun himself around to show off the pose. Back to facing the stage, he rolled his legs over and swung his torso around to stand upright once again. From there, the young man bent and twisted into several shapes and poses to show to the crowd. When he was done becoming a pretzel, he stood straight up and held his hands up in triumph.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Heather Sanderson
Talent: Scary Storytelling
RP of Talent:
A young woman slowly made her way onto the stage, clad in black and carrying a chair and a small bag slung over her shoulder. She set the chair at center stage and the bag beside it. When she took a seat, she motioned to those managing the lights, and the bright spotlights dimmed significantly. The performance space became shrouded in darkness, until little motes of light flickered on the stage. Heather set out several candelabras at varying heights around the chair and lit each of the long, slender candles. The warm glow cast haunting shadows as it shooed away the thick darkness. She lit one final candle, seated in an antique looking holder in her hand. With the stage set, she sat back in the high backed chair and regarded the crowd.

When the attention was sufficiently on her and awaiting for her next word, Heather began to spin a tale of a haunted beach. She held the candle near her face to illuminate it from below and cast ghastly shadows upon her expressions. Her tone spanned from rasping stage whispers to high-pitched shrieks that sent chills down the audience's spines. She held her free hand up and gestured with creepy calculation, her fingers twisted into a bewitching claw for emphasis. By the end, she spoke slowly, dragging each sentence on to draw the crowd in...right before she finished it off with a terrifying shriek of a jumpscare.

[Fasti]

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Chad
Talent: I will borrow items without asking
RP of Talent: Among the crowd was a person who seemed to both belong there and stand out: a young man. He wore a simple black t-shirt and jeans, his expression as sunny and serene as the surroundings themselves. However, his hands moved with an almost imperceptible twitch and restless energy danced just beneath the surface.

When it was his turn, the man strolled onto the stage with a disarming grin on his face. “Hello everyone,” he said, his voice soft and drawling, belying the mischief lurking in his dark eyes. “I.. well, you can call me Chad. And tonight I'm going to show you a talent I like to call "borrowing items without asking."

A wave of confused murmurs went through the crowd.

Chad surveyed the crowd with playful glamour. He casually walked up to a woman in the front row and asked if he could “borrow” her scarf to perform a magic trick. The woman was charmed by his gentle demeanor and readily agreed. In an instant the scarf was in his hand. He turned it around, showed it to the audience, and then walked across the stage as if he was about to perform a grand illusion.

He continued to do this to other people in the crowd. He picked up a watch, a pair of glasses, a phone, always with the same disarming charm. People laughed and thought it was part of the act. The crowd applauded as he bowed and the borrowed items disappeared from his hands. He smiled, a genuine smile that almost, but not quite, hid the glint of something darker behind his eyes.

He was good, very good. The laughter could still be heard as he left the stage. But as he blended into the crowd, still with the same carefree grin on his face, he secretly began to pull the "borrowed" items from his pockets, returning each to their rightful owners when they weren't looking. For him it was a game.

[Fasti]

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Mo
Talent: I do magic stuff!
RP of Talent: Mo clutched the small deck of cards in his pocket. He had been practicing his performance all week.

He saw children giggling as they signed in, their names scribbled on a clipboard. A few teenagers were casually tuning guitars and a girl with a flute stood alone on the other side. It seemed like everyone had talent and motivation. Mo took a deep breath, pushed through the small crowd, and signed his name "Mo", a little shaky. He also added, “I do magical things.” Mo's heart pounded against his ribs. He shuffled the deck and tried to calm his nerves. He watched the other performances, some brilliant, some hilarious. There was a girl who sang like an angel, a man who told jokes, and a group who danced.

Finally it was announced.

Mo felt a rush of heat flood his face as he took his place at the center of the stage. The spotlight was so hot, like all sun was shining on him. He took another deep breath and remembered the practise in front of the mirror. He started slowly, holding up the deck of cards. “Hello everyone, my name is Mo and tonight I do magic.” He paused and let his gaze wander over the small audience. “I am a magician!”

He spreads out the deck of cards and asks a young girl at the front to choose one. He was careful not to look at it. Looking excited and a little scared, the girl chose a card and showed it to the crowd before placing it back in the shuffled pile. Mo cut through the deck several times. He closed his eyes for a moment and pretended to concentrate. Then he quickly pulled a single card from the deck. “Is that your card?” he asked, his voice a little shaky. The girl gasped. It was her card! The crowd burst into applause. Encouraged, Mo continued his action, producing from his empty hand a seemingly endless supply of colorful silk handkerchiefs and making coins appear and disappear as if by magic.

The final was a trick he had practiced tirelessly. He held up an empty glass. “I will now fill this empty glass with water!” he declared. With a series of dramatic hand movements he seemed to pull water out of the air, and with one final swing the glass was full. The crowd cheered again, their eyes widening in amazement. He ended his performance with a deep bow, his cheeks flushed and a wide grin crossing his face. He had done it. He had actually done it. The applause was thunderous and he could see the amazed and delighted faces of the audience. Mo beamed.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Henry
Talent: Sharpshooting, Pyrotechnics
RP of Talent:
It had been a perfect day, and now the sun had set and darkness had rolled over the nearby shuffling waves.

The stage was a temporary structure, spotlights in every color giving the glittery curtains an air of fantasy. Henry fiddled with several panels and switches, testing boxes and wiring to his satisfaction. When he was through, his stage looked like a setting for a classic medieval fantasy play. There was a humble village, a forest, and a tall and lonely tower.

Henry had a microphone pinned to his collar. Once things were ready, he gave the audience a simple introduction. His own outfit was a few props that gave the impression of the knight, a bit of chest armor danging from his neck by a string, and a few other cardboard effects to give the briefest impression of a costume.

The revolver he twirled expertly in his hands, however, was real, and so were the other rifles and various

With aplomb and steady showmanship, Henry aimed at various set pieces, and with each quick, satisfyingly-accurate shot the set changed, telling a story. A dragon rose to curl over the tower. The town burned. A girl escaped.

And piece by piece, the genre changed as well, and Henry reversed his own costume too. His armor became a space ranger outfit. The tower became a spaceship. The forest became a glittering tree of stars. The dragon grew and grew and grew, and the girl who had used magic to battle the dragon for centuries upon centuries finally destroyed it in the show's finale, a series of real fireworks that went off in the sand over the beach.

Her story resolved, the dragon defeated, the future safe, and the smoke hanging in the air, Henry bowed to the modest audience.

Once the haze of the performance was through, he went to clear the stage for the next act.
