Every circus has a main attraction that is considered "out of this world" to attract the audience.

A shapeshifting selenite elder with other powers sounds like an interesting proposition for this role…

Day 17 - Sleep & Missing Scene

“I’ll be conscious?” Theodore asked his uncle, shifting in the Lunarian pod for the most comfortable position.  From what he understood, it would be a long time before he woke again.

“Sort of,” FuSoYa answered, tapping buttons rapidly on the panel next to the pod.  “Think of it like lucid dreaming.  You’re only half Lunarian, so you won’t have as much control, but you should be able to connect with the others.”

Theodore hesitated.

“Will I be able to reach Cecil?” he asked quietly.  FuSoYa looked up, studying him piercingly; then his eyes softened, and he nodded.

“When he dreams.”

Day 17 - Perspective & Loss

“No,” Rosa whispered, wild-eyed with terror.  Cid flashed her one last sad, roguish grin, and leapt from the ship.

“NO!” she screamed, lurching after him, but Kain grabbed her before she could fall.

“No, Rosa!” he yelled, but she barely heard him.  She was watching Cid fall, down, down into darkness, as the Enterprise raced towards the light.  The tunnel seemed to stretch, at once lengthening the distance between them and closing it so that she swore she could almost touch his hand… but when she saw the light from the explosion, she knew Cid was forever out of reach.

The Tightrope Dragoon is about to make his entrance, ready to shock the audience with his amazing abilities.

If only people knew that his techniques aren't entirely pre-trained and those scales aren't fake…

I knew it ! lol So dramatic and sad and horrific.

Allow me to answer with my own headcanon ficlet ? That’s certainly not as good as a Jenneh fic, but to put it i a nutshell, I think the break spell only allowed them to exist spiritually. The experience was very unpleasant, but it forced them to watch the world with their spirits so ... they improved their magic potential ! Dialogue under the cut :

« Palom ? Did you feel that ? 

- Feel what ? There’s so much things going on. And we’re stuck here, missing everything. I couldn’t see the meteor spell with my own eyes ! Can you believe it ?

- What ? … Palom ! The great sage Tellah died ! And Golbez is still somewhere in the world with the Cristals ! You can’t just be regretting not seeing meteor ! This is tragic !

- Yeah, Tellah´s dead. Lucky guy. He doesn’t have at least to listen to the endless lectures of a fussy sister for eternity ! And to bear the passing of all these baronian idiots.

…

- You wanted to hit me on the head, right. I don’t miss that !

- Hear me, you can’t indulge in this resentment. They couldn’t know about Cagazzo’s wizardry, it requires magical skills and instinct. I know how you feel. Staying here with only our spirits to feel things, it’s like being forced to meditate for hours. The Elder never asked us to do this kind of exercise longer than an hour. Even I feel like I’m punished for wanting to go on a dangerous adventure.

- Punished ? It’s torture ! I think I am going to turn goat and bleat any time soon !

- What I wanted to tell you is that he is coming this way ! Sir Cecil ! I feel presences with him …

- Oh … you’re right after all ! That’s funny … now that I have to see him through spirit, there’s something odd about him. I didn’t notice that his light wasn’t … really his.

- Yeah. But what worries me is that one of his companions has a bit of darkness in his soul. That is not his own either.

- You’re right. It’s faint, but it’s there …

- That … that’s dangerous ! What do we do ?

- You, try to have a telepathic contact with Cecil ! You’re two white goody two shoes mages ! You must have affinities !

- I- I try ! … Hu, I can’t do it, I don’t have enough training.

- Splendid ! We are condemned to watch him fall for it again, hook, line and sinker !

- He is coming this way. Maybe he talked to the Elder and has a cure for us

- Haha, I knew it ! He knows he can’t do anything without me and left no stone unturned to find a cure to have the great genius of Mysidia at his side !

- Palom ! Stop being arrogant !

- What if I don’t ? That’s the truth after all, Not having me in his team is not an option !

- You’re. Impossible. Ohhh … don’t be sad, Sir Cecil … it hurts me.

- YOU are impossible, Palom. He’s sad if he wants …

- You’re…

- I’m not crying, you’re crying

- … no, not a gold needle, Sir Cecil, it’s no use … don’t waste it !

- A gold needle ? Are you kidding me ? That’s an insult to my talent !

- Oh no, not an Elixir. No, don’t !

- Ah yes ! That’s better. It doesn’t work but it’s worthy of me.

- That’s a stupid waste, Palom !

- You’re beginning to talk like me.

- They are leaving. No luck.

- How come we can’t talk to them like this guy on Mount Ordeals ?

- I don’t know. It has to do with experience and high spiritual training I suppose. That’s a question of work.

- If we can’t talk, maybe we can send a telepathic message.

- It requires a special relationship, like a family bond or …

- … a master and student relationship. I’m going to do that ! I can’t believe the Elder didn’t worry about us. I am going to spiritually kick his old butt to remind him we exist !

- You ! You can’t do that ! It’s maybe what he wants us to do ! T-t-t-to reach him I mean ! We have to ask him politely !

- But of course ! Politely kick his butt !

- Palom ! Stop it, I’ll try to call him.

- Don’t waste your energy, I’ll be the first !

What's Your Headcanon? Day 12

While under the effects of the Stone/Petrify spell, does the target maintain consciousness? Do Palom and Porom remember their time petrified in Baron Castle? Did they recover with no issues, or did their long-term petrification have any negative physical or mental effects?

"True self... What if...?"

"I knew you'd come for me..."

"I have no right to bear witness to your joy - not like this"

And that's it! 😎 I hope you enjoyed the series!

[zottower]

Each one has a varied role, but I shouldn't have separated this quartet.

So, we have Barbariccia as a contortionist, Rubicante as a fire spitter, Cagnazzo dressed as a drummer, and Scarmiglione…eeehh…a circus beast? Sorry, I couldn't think of anything for him.

gift for someone special

@cinnamonanie ‘s FFIV OC, Lyla Waybright, is super cute, so I kinda got the urge to dress her up.

[zottower]

I'm almost familiar with how wildlife works in Final Fantasy, so instead of "animal tamer" I added "beast" to make it sound more varied?

Anyway…it will be truly fascinating to see a show full of Eidonlons and other magical creatures~

Continuing with ideal circus roles, it was already seen coming that Yang would be the Strongman.

In terms of design I know I could have been more creative and given him something more "traditional", but I think that the pants he is wearing are already a bit more striking, to speak?

[zottower]

Okay, would you believe me if I told you that it was because of Cid that this idea of ffiv circus came to me?

The first impression I had when I saw him for the first time made me think "Oh this man looks so much like those men who launch in circus' cannons" and I didn't hesitate to apply it to this series of drawings x)

Okay, in general terms I did end up choosing Edward as a clown (more specifically, and by the type of clothes, a jester)

Not because I hate him, nor do I discredit him…he was the only vacant position to play a clown/jester and these are a must in circuses…so to all Edward fans, forgive me if you think I could have chosen something better for him 🥲
