2nd Show [Action]

[sitalion]

[Well, if Stefano can't get back to his circus in Europe, he'd just have to bring a circus to Luceti. The first step is a little exposure, and a little practice. So first, he's picked out a nice, visible spot by the fountain and has set up his own little act. He has a big box full of toys beside him, mostly with balls of all sizes, and random instruments.]

Gather around, everybody, gather around! And prepare to be blown away!

[He takes three bowling pins into his flippers and begins to juggle them. It lasts for about ten seconds before he misses a catch, and the pins go flying everywhere. Stefano grins sheepishly and scrambles to pick them up.]

I'm still-a practicing with that one. Pretty good, no?

Now, look at this!

[He puts the pins back into his box. If that doesn't get any attention, he's got one toy that will – a blowhorn stand. Stefano squeezes the blowhorns, producing squeaking and farting sounds.]

[Poor sea lion...he just might be trying too hard.]

Comments

[sitalion]

...No, she not-a here. It's only me...

[rutagraveolens]

Oh, I'm sorry. [Rue's voice is a little sad; she knows she's lucky having so many people from Panem here.]

Maybe she'll show up! Your other friends too!

[sitalion]

But...how will they get-a here? How did I get-a here?

[Watch out, he could start crying any moment now...]

[rutagraveolens]

I... I don't really know. You just wake up here. It's what happens to everyone.

[sitalion]

Sí...the same-a thing happened to me. I was in the train going to-a London, and then everything got-a dark. The ness thing I know, I was in a closet.

[rutagraveolens]

A closet? I hope someone was able to find you and let you out!

[sitalion]

Sí, the people let me out. No need to worry.

[A goofy grin to let her know it's all good.]

[rutagraveolens]

That's good. Do you have somewhere to stay?

[sitalion]

No...I don't know where to stay.

[rutagraveolens]

Where have you been staying?

[sitalion]

Outside the Welcome Center. Then at least I could get-a food.

[He hasn't wanted to get too involved in a human society...]

[rutagraveolens]

You can stay in any of the houses or apartments. It's cold out here.

[sitalion]

Sea lions adapt-a well to the cold. And I don't want to be in-a the way...

[rutagraveolens]

I don't think you'd be in anyone's way. There's lots of places to stay.

[sitalion]

But...where should I stay?

[He can't decide from all the empty places, and he doesn't really want to be lonely either...]

[rutagraveolens]

Well... [Oh dear, oh dear. Rue considers offering her house, but she's not sure Katniss would like that. Katniss already doesn't like Buttercup and Melody that much.]

There are beds inside the Welcome Center. Lots of people go in and out of there. And I've seen lots of people come in and out of Flame Building to the west by the river.
