Description

"Don't move, sweetie, or this will definitely hurt you much more than it will hurt me."

|Personality|
Nikki has never been known to be quiet. She's outspoken and highly opinionated, but never disrespectful. Her mother taught her to be kind to everyone, but never to allow anyone to walk all over her. She has a flair for the dramatic as well as the darker things in life, and her demeanor is warm and playful, if a bit... obsessive. She knows how to put on a show, and her dominant side is never more prevalent than when she's performing.

|History|
Nikki's mother instilled in her daughter the same values the rest of the strong women in their family held, along with an incurable sense of wanderlust. All throughout her life, Nikki and her mother traveled alone, as neither knew who Nikki's father was. Due to their nomadic lifestyle, Nikki was homeschooled. When allowed to run free, she found herself pulled into a different kind of crowd: Men in black leather jackets and women in spiked dog collars. The crowd she ran with lived fast and played hard, taught her how to run the streets and, most importantly, how to throw a knife or two. And it was those skills that landed her a place in the Roswell Carnival.

When she found Heidi, she happened to be on her way to Seattle from Austin, Texas and passed through a town where she saw the signs pointing her towards the carnival. Never one to pass up a good funnel cake, she stopped in to see what this one was about and knew she'd found her place when she playfully challenged the sword swallower to a game; If he could balance a caramel apple off the top of one of his swords, she could knock it off with a thrown knife.

So begins...

Location: Samantha's Tent & Performance Tent

Heidi sat there reading the same entry over and over again. What was it that made her think that she was the one who was trying to murder her and probably thought she was the one who murdered her when it happened. Heidi was so lost in these thoughts that she hadn't even heard anyone come in.

"Hey Miss Heidi, what are you doing?" she heard Frank's voice. At the very first word she caught herself jump from the sudden company.

In turn the female closed the book and set it back down where she found it and turned towards the man as she answered him, "I'm just cleaning out the tent so it will be ready for the new manager to stay by the end of the day," she responded before standing to her feet. "As a matter of fact, he should be here shortly. We should get to the meeting, it'll be starting soon," she added as she stood to her feet and began walking out of the tent.

This was going to be a stressful meeting, she thought to herself. Everyone is probably going to think I'm trying to replace Samantha, which was something I clearly wasn't doing. Heidi just needed a bit of help running the place and she couldn't do it alone.

With a sigh the owner stepped into the tent where the meeting was being held and sat down on the edge of the stage as she noticed that Tom had already arrived. "Do you know where the others are, Tom?" she questioned with a concerned and worried sort of tone. Usually there were a couple others at the meeting before Heidi even had time to show up. Which honestly brought more concern to herself.

Dialog: darkmagenta

Fleur stood at the ballet bar in her own little make shift studio. The large mirror in front of her reflected her annoyingly closed in quarters along with her current stretches. Her skin seemed to be made of rubber as she twisted and turned, attempting to stay loose despite how tense she wanted to feel. She was supposed to be far away from this. She was supposed to have left it with her father at his grave.
She sighed and closed her eyes, her long eyelashes tickling her cheeks. Just thinking of her father now made the tension in her muscles worse to the point of ache. Poor Samantha. Poor Papa. No one deserves such a fate.
She looked up into her own light hazel eyes and then looked into the reflection of her mirror and rolled her eyes, moaning dramatically. The reflection of her alarm clock only served to confirm her fears as she begrudgingly slipped her favorite comfy boots over her dance leggings. She didn't bother to put on a shirt over her bright pink sports bra and instead slipped on a black track jacket. She ran a brush through her long, chestnut hair and set off to the tent. She wondered idly about the new manager, this new person she'd have to understand and more than likely look up to seeing how small she was. Nevertheless, she wouldn't be distracted by his coming and shirk on her bodies needs. She had a strict stretch and rehearsal schedule that no future meetings would impede on, she would make sure of that.
She entered the tent with all of the grace of a ballerina and walked swiftly and controlled to the stage. As she passed the circle she lightly touched the strong man's back in greeting and smiled to the mechanic, winking playfully.
"Gentlemen."
Fleur walked up behind Nikki just as she was introducing herself and quickly did the same, her voice even and lightly accented.
"Fleur Sauvage, Monsiuer. Your Acrobat, Dancer, and Preformance assistant extraordinere."She winked at him and placed two kisses on each of the new managers cheeks as well as her good friend Nikki and went to sit, still lightly stretching.

Frank "Samson" Hudson

Frank raised his hands in assurance and calm gesture as to say he will not harm her. He nodded, "It's okay....Just thought you maybe forgot the meeting." He nodded at Miss Heidi and for the first time this day he gave a smile. "Yes, we should get going". Frank watched her get herself ready, she seems very stressful, but I guess anyone will be stress at this meeting . As she was about to leave, Frank looked behind himself at the tent, making a mental note of that book she was reading. Than he walked after Miss Heidi, walking right behind her, looking like a famous woman and her bodyguard.

When they entered the tent, it seems they were not the only one who were late, except Tom. Frank gave a finger salute to Tom and was about to sit and relax when he heard the new manager screaming at someone and than came rushing inside the tent. Frank stood up and narrowed his eyes as he started scolding Heidi about everyone tardiness, He stepped next to Miss Heidi and just lightly poke that new manager, if it was more stronger he might will be breaking a rib to that guy. "Excuse me, Sir, we know it's not polite to late, but it's not Miss Heidi's fault, ok? so when everyone will come you can scold us, got it?".

Right then, others started coming in. First came Nikki, very skilled knife thrower, and her cheerful mood. A minute later, Fleur, the acrobat artist, came very elegantly. He smiled to the new girls and looked back at the new manager, "So you see? we still following the rules, we are coming to this meeting. You may be the Big Boss, but it's not giving you the right to be an asshole" . Probably it won't be too good to start being on the wrong side of the new manager, but he won't be a wall flower when someone get offended.

Heidi sighed and just balled her fists up as she listened to the new general manager. Ohh, she was going to definitely have a talk with him once this meeting was over. Yes, he may have been the general manager and needed to be sure everyone was on time and that everything was taken care of but he had no right to talk to her that way. Does he not realize she could take his job away from him just as quickly as she had given it? But still, the female tried her best to keep calm, wanting to keep their problems to themselves and away from the others.

"Excuse me, Sir, we know it's not polite to be late, but it's not Miss Heidi's fault, ok? So when everyone will come you can scold us, got it?" As much as she appreciated Frank for standing up for her the way he was, she knew it wouldn't have been a good idea right now.

Heidi held her breath as she watched two of the girls step into the tent. Nikki, the knife throwing expert and Fleur, the acrobat. She couldn't believe the two of them had greeted the man that way. She knew she was going to have her work cut out for her, on top of dealing with the death of her one and only best friend. Samantha and Heidi had known each other since grade school, and now she was taken away from her....

"So you see? We still follow the rules, we are coming to this meeting. You may be the Big Boss, but it's not giving you the right to be an asshole."

Heidi cleared her throat after hearing Frank's words and thought to herself, Technically, I'm the big boss, I own this place,. "Frank, thanks but I'd suggest you sit down for right now and just listen to what the man has to say," she stated in the most polite of tones she could manage. Besides, the woman had to play nice in front of everyone.

Jacque had to take a small detour to give his monkey companion some water before they sat and became insulted at the new manager. He wasn't a fan of these meetings, and Heidi knew that. He'd much rather be parading around his animals for the world to see. It's the whole reason why he was here.

Jack made a whistling noise as he and his master entered the tent. But, upon the new face, and the already aggravated atmosphere, Jack hid behind Jacque as he strode in, happily late. "Ladies.." He gave a warm smile to Fleur, Nikki, and lastly, Heidi. "and gents." He nodded to the other men in the room, then gave Tom a wave. "My Spidey sense are buzzing. Should I come back later?" He, like a jackass, smiled towards the unknown man in the room, which he could only guess was the manager.

"I'd tell you what I do around here, as I'm sure the ladies have, but I think you can guess." [/color]Jack popped his head over Jacque's shoulder, and made a hissing sound. "Ey, little man. He's alright." Jack then stopped the noise, but he still had his ears twitched back. "Well, we at least have majority here, Sir Douche." Jacque couldn't help his personality, much less his ice breaking humor.
