HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Devon
Talent: Knife Throwing
RP of Talent: Devon was helped to set up his things, though he did most of it on his own and used the stage hands to help him make sure he wasn't too close to the edge. But he got his large target, his knives, and his knife holder set up exactly where he wanted them. Then he turned to the audience, the lights shining in his face hot enough to tell him that he was looking the right way. He gave everyone a wave and walked a measured three steps forward, a wide grin on his face.

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to my five minutes of fame! I first must ask for a volunteer, someone who is brave and who trusts me despite not knowing me." He gave a pause before laughing gently, knowing that there must be some hands raised.

"Oh, I must tell you first. I was born blind and cannot see a thing! If this changes your desire to volunteer there are no hard feelings, but if you would like to assist me, please clap!" There was a small smattering of applause and he made his way carefully off the stage, then to the sound of someone clapping in the first row.

"My dear, thank you for your trust," he said with a low bow after the audience member introduced herself. Together they headed back up to the stage and with the help of the stagehands, the volunteer was positioned in front of the target, legs about shoulder width apart and arms reaching up over her head as if she were going to dive into a pool. Devon adjusted his knives before picking up two, tapping the two blades together so the audience could tell they were real.

"Now, my dear, you only need to do two things: hold very still and say 'here' once every three or so seconds. That will help me stay oriented to where you are. Once you are ready, you may begin." Devon waited, hand poised and ready to throw the knife, until his volunteer said 'here' twice. At that point he let the first knife go and it landed a few inches away from her right side. He could hear the waver in her voice as she said 'here' again, as well as the low vibrations of the knife as it settled into the soft wood. These knives were made of steel but they weren't terribly sharp so if he did miss his mark she might have a little bruise for her efforts, but there was no inherent danger to this act. Still, she didn't know! And neither did the audience who gasped as he threw his second knife, this one landing a few inches from her extended left arm.

The process continued three more times, another knife by her left side, another by her right arm, and finally one between her legs about knee height. Devon moved forward then to assist his volunteer to the front of the stage where they both took a bow to the applauding audience. Devon thanked her for her assistance as the stage hands helped clean up his props and he gave one more wave in the direction of the spectators before following his things off the stage.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Sandy
Talent: glass eater
RP of Talent:

Talent is what they were asking for, and Sandy was overjoyed to bring it to them. Just buzzing with excitement.

Well, she was usually buzzing with excitement or some other strong emotion.

When it was her turn she proudly bounded up on stage, a petite looking young woman with an undercut on one side and a number of piercings on her face and ears. She happily introduced herself, all while turning a common lightbulb in her hands, very nonchalant.

Then, with a devilish twinkle in her eyes, sandy brought the bulb up to her mouth and bite into it.

It shattered, of course, but if that hurt it wasn't obvious by her behavior. No, she was acting instead as if the bulb had been made out of the finest thin candy and she was savoring each bite. Until every last bit of glass was gone and only the base and the filament remained.

Then she grinned took a bow, and skipped off the stage.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Jon Statue
Talent: Swordswallowing
RP of Talent: Jon Statue grimaced uncomfortably from the heat of the sun beating down on him while he waited for his turn in the line to perform. He was used to dark and dim areas compared to this. But he wanted the chance to show off his skills. Surely there weren't any other people in this crowd who could do what he could.

Once it was Jon's turn, he got up on stage and set his bag of equipment down. He pulled out a short sword out, showed it to the crowd and the hosts. He then hummed slightly and smiled to the audience. "I will now risk myself to perform this! I have practiced this many times but I must always remain careful. I am going to swallow this sword." He proceeded to tilt his head back, pursed his lips together then opened his mouth and slowly inserted the sword, down to the hilt. He bowed forward at the waist and showed the audience the hilt sticking from his mouth. After that, he then straightened out and slowly removed the sword from his throat.

Jon then set the short sword aside and pulled out a blade with a curve to it. He presented it to the audience and the host before also swallowing it. When he bowed forward after reaching the point of the curve where he could no longer insert the sword, the sword could be seen as curving over to the side over one cheek. After he straightened and removed the sword he tucked it back in his bag. "Thank you for watching my performance." He gathered up his bag and left the stage.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Moni
Talent: Playing the flute
RP of Talent: The crowd buzzed with excitement, but a hush fell over them as Moni stepped onto the stage, just a shy girl clutching her silver flute, her downcast eyes filled with uncertainty.

She raised the instrument to her lips, and in that moment, the world seemed to hold its breath, she took a deep breath, her heart racing. The first notes danced into the air, soft and haunting, drifting through the crowd like a whisper. Each sound blended into the next, weaving a melody so beautiful that it made the crowd spellbound. She closed her eyes, losing herself in the music, wrapping the listeners in her warm embrace. Her fingers glided over the silver flute, and with every note, she drew them further into a layer of harmony that seemed to lift them away from reality. The world around them faded. The laughter, even the soft crashing of waves became distant. No one dared to make a sound, afraid of disturbing the magic that hung in the air. Moni poured her heart into each note.

When the final note lingered, echoing against the shoreline, silence enveloped the crowd. Eyes glistened with awe, and after what felt like an eternity, a thunderous applause erupted, filling the air.

Moved by their support, Moni opened her eyes, her smile wide.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Ises
Talent: creating masterpiece hair
RP of Talent: Laughter and chatter filled the air as one by one, friends and strangers stepped forward to share their hidden skills. A group of dancers swayed gracefully to the soft lapping of the ocean waves, while a shy musician played gentle notes on her flute.

Among the excited faces was Ises, with his vibrant pink hair that cascaded elegantly around his shoulders. Ises had mastered hairstyling, transforming ordinary locks into extraordinary masterpieces. Despite feeling a flutter of nerves, the atmosphere wrapped around him in warmth.

With his heart racing and nerves settling, he took the stage, a small stool and a mirror waiting for him. He set up promptly, pulling out an array of brushes and colors that sparkled under the magical dusk light. “I’m going to show you how to create an ocean braid,” Ises declared, glancing at the crowd, eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. “To honor our beautiful venue here!”

His hands worked deftly, weaving hair with the fluidity of the waves behind him. As he demonstrated the braid, he shared the story behind each color he chose for the strands, the deep blues inspired by the ocean, the sandy golden highlights from the shore, and the soft greens reflecting the trees surrounding them.

Soon, he transformed an spectator's hair into a stunning representation of a sunset and sea, the audience erupting into cheers and applause.

Once Ises finished, he glanced back at his creation, a smiling girl with hair that now flowed like a gentle breeze. “And just like that," Ises said with a wink, "you can create a wonderful braided hairstyle yourself!”

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Lilith D’Blood
Talent: Reading Fanfiction
RP of Talent:

The woman who steps onto the stage is short, pale and not dressed for tropical weather. She’s decked out in a floor length gothic black and red dress with ruffles galore. A frilly dark mask covers her face but her mouth is visible, curled into a mysterious smile. She clears her throat and lifts up the printed pages she’s holding.

“Ahem,” she says out loud. “It is time for you to enter the domain of... Dracula’s Castle! I’m the fanfic author Lilith D’Blood and I hope you enjoy!” She clears her throat yet another time before continuing. Her throat must be quite dry.

“It’s a deep evening when you arrive at the castle, a dark and ominous night, the sky heavy with dark clouds where no moon dares shine through. But even so you can see the outline of the castle, looming above. Only a single light burning in some far away tower.

You have arrived through an invitation, as you are a well-known artist, baker and local celebrity. You’re also a model and are well liked by all so it’s no surprise the owner of this amazing castle has invited you out to see it. You’re not sure who the mysterious owner is but you’re excited to see them.

You’re dressed in a floor length white gown with a small sequin jacket to keep out the chill. Your hair is piled high in a fancy hairdo and you look AMAZING. A butler answers the massive doors and ushers you inside.”

The story continues, long and tedious, until the main character gets invited to the tower and Dracula’s bedroom.

“He’s terrifying and yet stunning. His body looks carved, like a marble statue. Each part is perfection, a work of a master artist. His long dark hair flows down his back. When he smiles, he shows off his fangs and you can’t help but shudder. The look in his red eyes is hungry, for you. He’d never wanted anyone more. Especially not a human. But you’re special.

He leads you to the bed, with his strong hand on your back and shoulders. He lays you down and @!$!@#!$’s you and then he !#$%#@ you so much you scream and-”

This part goes for even longer than the start. The crowd shuffles awkwardly but eventually the story moves on to the conclusion.

“You’re a vampire now too, married to Dracula for your eternal life. Together you rule the night, forever! The end!”

She claps herself off stage.

HERE IS MY TALENT!
Kin Name:
AU Name: Gale
Talent: Paper Pushing
RP of Talent:

Onstage, his expression was flat and unemotional, as though he'd retreated in on himself. Someone had wheeled an office desk onto the platform, and it sat there with paperwork untidily dumped in large, towering stacks. They were teetering precariously, and it was suspected that if someone even breathed so much in their direction, the entire stacks of paper would go flying everywhere.

Gale said, his voice prim and cultured, "Today I will be showing you how to properly organize things." There was a slight pause, and then he added, "Most of you do not know how to do this, so I'm sure it will come as a great surprise."

The papers were shuffled. A few drifted aimlessly down onto the stage before being snatched up just prior to them flitting away at a gust of wind. Gale put them all back onto the desk and scowled.

What followed was probably the dullest act of the day as Gale spent twenty or so minutes carefully moving sheets of paper from one place to another on the desk until everything was neatly, carefully, precisely put away. Then he pushed back the chair, stood up, gave the audience a pitying look, and stepped off stage without another word.
