For the sake of not writing a couple paragraphs and stopping, just assume that whoever you pick, if they're edible, is going to get eaten. :- P I was going to put an option to attempt to pick both, but I'm not sure how gluttonous you guys are, and that may remove the chance for interactions afterwards.


"Alright, Morrigan, tell me what your plan is." You smile at the grey dragoness and give her a nod.

She seems taken aback for a moment, as though she were expecting you to turn down her offer of help. Then a smirk crosses her face and she crosses her arms. "You have no idea how easy this is going to be. The next time you decide you're hungry, you're going to crawl back to me and beg for my ideas." She laughs and beckons out to the center of the tent where three people are running around like crazy in the middle of a crazy as a massive three headed hydra hunts them. The audience hoots and hollars like mad men, a collective groan escaping from them as one of the victims loses a leg. Perhaps they think this is all a staged show? You see Amarante and Saedia haven't gone anywhere; the shark looks bored while the wolf is sitting on the edge of her seat with childlike wonder.

Morrigan laughs as she notices you licking your lips. "Calm down, big boy, you'll get your chance. So basically, I'm going to go out there and perform a few illusions. For the most part, I have workers who no one will notice if they get mutilated or not, and for the rest, I have a few tricks of my own. The first part of the show will be nothing too spectacular, just some basic tricks, enough to convince everyone that it's just a simple magic show. We don't want anyone getting suspicious. You will be hiding behind the stage, out of sight to everyone."

"So what, I'm going to sneak into the audience while you keep people distracted?" You have to admit, you were expecting a bit more from Morrigan, given her connection to Liladen. A distraction seems far too simple for him and his ilk. But if she insists that it's going to work, then surely it will.

"Heh, didn't you ever learn not to interrupt people?" Morrigan sighs at you, annoyance clear on her face. "Around the middle, I'm going to do that lame little trick where the person gets in the box and vanishes, only to reappear later. This is where you're going to come in. While they're getting the trick ready, I'll need you to whisper to me whichever one you want to get rid of. You can deal with the other one on your own afterwards. I'm sure you can figure out how to do that, right?"

You pause for a moment, pondering your decision. You're sure a different approach would work for each girl, depending on who you choose to get rid of. It could be a good chance for you to have some fun with the remaining girl; maybe you could torture her in exchange for the way they treated you?

"So once you tell me who to pick, I'll get them in the box. It's a simple trick, the back opens up and the person slips out, you know, real child's play. You're going to have half a minute to get your prey out of the box. Don't try to eat them there, I swear, if I open up the box and your fat ass is still sitting there, I'm going to make YOU disappear." The glare in the dragoness' eyes tell you that you probably don't want to mess this up... "Anyway, get them out of the back, slip backstage, and deal with them there. What you do after that is up to you, but come back to me once you've dealt with the problem, and I'll give you my charm to take to dad. Are we clear?"

"Sure, it sounds like you've got this all planned out. You're as smart as you are beautiful." You grin and flash Morrigan a smile. You see her freeze for a moment and blush slightly; she probably rarely receives compliments but you have to admit, it's a pretty good plan and minimal effort on your part.

A few minutes later, Morrigan and her helpers start setting up the tent. You slip behind the stage that they set up and find a nice place that you can keep an eye on things without being noticed. After Morrigan spots you, she begins her performance. For the most part, the opening tricks are really nothing special. The audience oooos and aaaaaaahs as they watch the dragoness impale her helpers with swords, feed them to monsters, all the sorts of good stuff that depraved circus freaks would enjoy. You're unsure as you watch how much of it is an illusion and how much of it is real but Morrigan's helpers keep amazingly quiet and never even whimper at their mistress' commands.

Boredom begins to overtake you as you ponder which of the girls to pick. The shark was definately the meaner of the two. There's definately benefits to getting rid of her quickly and easily, but you could also get a lot of joy out of possibly torturing her after you've finished off her friend. The wolf, on the other hand, definately looks to be the tastier of the two, although she may not be as mean as her friend was without the shark around. For a moment, you also consider Morrigan. You've no doubt that the dragoness would have a very lovely taste, though you'd definately be stabbing her in the back at this point. You could always leave your potential victim in the box, making her 'trick' a total failure and possibly humiliating her. At that point, Liladen might not mind you removing her from the Gallaria, though there's no guarantee; he could be immensely overprotective of his adopted daughter. You could also use the element of surprise and ambush her as she opened her box; the audience might think it's part of the show, you never know.

As the helpers clear off the last trick, Morrigan walks over and leans casually against the wall next to you. She coughs and then whispers to you. "Have you figured out which one you want to take care of first? Hurry up and pick, you don't have long!"

So, what are you in the mood for?
>> "I'm in the mood for sushi! Pick the shark!"
>> "I'm going to wolf down that wolf!"
>> Pick a girl, but plan to humiliate Morrigan
>> Pick a girl, but plan to ambush Morrigan
