Things Are Not What They Appear (Open)

[Ursula/Vanessa]

(ooc: June 9th. Morning.) Vanessa walked into the circus having somehow have the ability to switch betwewen her two forms without a potion. She figured meeting in her human form would be a good way to figure out if this was a safe place or not. She could switch into her squid form if she needed to fight or defend herself.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" asked Vanessa.

She smiled at Lady Tremaine and glared at Abis Mal.

"Perhaps you're right." said Vanessa.

Then Rito and Shego arrived and she glared at the girl dressed in green.

"Time to show you how impressive I can really be!" said Vanessa.

She transformed into Ursula startling everyone as she smirked.

"We could go a few rounds if you like." said Ursula.

Lady Eleanor Tremaine walked in spotting the young woman.

"I see I'm not the only one lost and confused. This place seems empty but not deserted. So perhaps everyone is busy." said Eleanor.

When she saw the woman transform into a squiad she was surprised.

"I once had magic of my own. I stole a fai4ry godmother's wand but unfortunately, it was returned to her. I have experience with magic just none of my own." said ?LAdy Tremaine.

XXXX

Abis Mal walked in spotting the two women and the strange room.

"What in the world is this? This doesn't look liike Agrabah or the desert." said Abis Mal.

"Cook! Janitor I am al eader of a band of thieves. Sure they aren't here right now but I don't do manual labor. I even had a genie once but I didn't get to make my third wish. That genie still owes me." said Abis Mal.

XXXX

Rita walked out seeing the 3 new arrivals.

"Welcome to the circus and our army. I am Rita Repulsa one of the leaders of this army. There are two others and once this war is over this world shall be ours to deal with." said Rita.

She was silent letting everyone el,se speak. Perhaps Facilier and Malachite could help her. Someone who could use a fairy wand even b riefly could be useful. Maybe they could create something similar for her.

XXXX

Shego walked out spotting the trio.

"A young girl, an old woman and a short, fat man. Yeah we're really getting some good recruits here." said Shego.

To her surprise, Vanessa turned into Ursula as she smirked.

"Well, I stand corrected. At least one of you seems to have talent." Said Shego.

She chuckled.

"Maybe later." said Shego.

XXXX

Dark Heart watched, silently and amused. When Ursula transformed as he stepped out.

"Bravo. I didn't expect that. Welcome aboard. Although I agree with Shego the other two don't look that impressive. Guess they could always be cooks, janitors or medics.""said Dark Heart.

[Mary Watson]

(OCC: I'll bring jafar in later. Also couldn't resist facilier confusing jafar with the genie, feel free to rudely correct him, it'll give me more reason to have jafar correct his butt. But here's mostly my new characters, Trickster and Facilier for now)

Mary had been warned by moriarty people would come at any given moment, so while she was still just arriving, many others have gotten here also. Mary wanted to see her husband but moriarty claimed he was unavailable due to the leaders needing him. So the army thing wasn't exactly a lie but Mary was surprised at how verstile the place was. She was in the main house before she entered the circus, forcing herself to get to know who her husband was working for. She was shocked and surprised as Ursula made herself well known by transforming from a woman to a large squid-like woman. Mary gasped audibly and saw the leader, Facilier, introduce himself to them and her. Mary slowly entered and replied "Hello. My name is Mary. I just arrived here myself"

The Innocent was also very surprised by this place. It looked similar to kooza but way scarier, and way more dark. Alongside him were not one but two cats. Both around the same white fur color. The innocent was glad animals were around, he was a big animal person, he liked dogs more but cats were a nice replacement. The innocent saw the kitten and picked it up to picken up their pace. He then went over to look over to the group, particularly surprised by the squid woman. The Innocent widened his eyes and replied softly to ursula "Wow. I sure don't wanna mess with you miss" He then saw Facilier beckon him to enter along with the cats. The Innocent noticed trickster and replied "Trickster! You're here too?" He then replied to trickster some more "Boy am I glad to see you here. It's really new here. If you're here this place must be alright" He then nervously responded "Hello Mister. Hello everyone. My name is Innocent"

Duchess and Marie felt surprisingly quiet thanks to the dark, oppressive atmosphere this place presented. Then again both duchess and her daughter were very alarmed by new places. Duchess in particular felt out of place here. Still it was nice to see a human child, usually human children were excellent around her and her kittens. So when the innocent kindly picked marie up duchess had little complaint. Then they noticed the group and duchess turned to see Lady Tremaine and felt strangely at ease at the sight of her. Sure she didn't appear as sweet or nearly as glamorous as Madame Bonfamille but still, it was okay seeing her. Duchess then turned to facilier and hesitated in speaking but facilier insisted and replied "I am Duchess. This is my daughter marie. We're looking for my husband and my son"

Marie followed her mother to the group, alongside the boy who kindly picked her up. She allowed her mother to speak before politely replying "Yes. Have you seen two orange cats, mister? It would be really appreciated if you did. My name is marie" She then smiled as facilier confirmed her worries "Did you hear that mama? This nice man knows where daddy and toulouse are!"
XXXX

The Trickster was a bit unconcerned with appearances, unlike his old comrades. The new group MAY have looked tame but The Trickster never underestimated people. Anyone could and would be of use in a army. You just had to find the right job for them. "Appearances can be deceiving Darkheart. While I agree they do not look frightening, they might be very cunning and be of use regardless" Trickster replied calmly. He then raised a eyebrow at lady tremaine and replied to her "Stealing a fairy godmother's wand is very difficult to do. I'm impressed with that. Perhaps if you would like I can assist you in getting your own magic. Since you have experience with working with it prior. That is if you want" He then noticed facilier join rita in welcoming the new people. Then suddenly they had more people come. It wasn't just tremaine, ursula and abis mal. It was mary, the two cats and a young.... Wait. That young boy looked familar. It was.

"Innocent?" He asked and he went over to the boy and bowed to him "It is a pleasure to see you as well" He then nodded and helped the boy inside and allowed him to introduce himself. He turned to facilier and rita, replying "The innocent is a good friend of mine. He is incredibly gifted. He used to be my apprentice, and he will be so again. Once I resume his training he'll be a incredible magician"

"Well now rita, looks like a party was starting and I wasn't invited to it" Facilier replied, entering in as rita greeted the main three that entered in. He turned to Abis Mal and replied "Calm your pants, my man. No need to get hostile with us. We're all friends here!" He then tipped his hat to him then bowed to both ursula, the only one overall unphased by ursula, and tremaine with respect. He replied to them "Pleasure to see fine people here. I am Dr. Facilier one of the leaders here. I see you met my partner Rita. We are a tight business and could definitely use all of your skills" He then turned to darkheart and shego, smirking at them "It's like Trickster said. Looks are deceiving. Don't sell them short just yet. They have just got here. They can probably be very skilled" Facilier then turned to abis mal again replying "A genie? You mean the blue one? He's on the heroes side. If you want your third wish you'll have to wait for us to get him for that"

He then turned to Innocent, Mary and the cats replying "Well now! More guests. Come now come now don't be shy. Come and introduce yourselves to the fine group here" He nodded to mary and replied "Oh mary, that's right. Moriarty warned me about you. Don't worry you'll see your husband soon" He then turned to innocent who had a reunion with trickster. He then nodded approvingly as trickster and innocent explained themselves and their relationship. "Hey, if you wanna keep him trickster go ahead. Just make sure the kid is some use to help us" Facilier patiently replied. He then turned to see duchess and marie introduce themselves. He smirked to marie and replied gently, to get on the kitten's good side "Why sure enough little lady. I found your stepdaddy and brother nearby. They're definitely here. Don't worry your adorable head about them"

[Ursula/Vanessa]

Rita saw Mary and smiled.

"Hello, Mary. I am Rita Repulsa and one of the leaders here. Welcome to our army." said Rita.

She paused at Lady Tremaine's words.

"You stole a fairy's wand and used it? That is quite impressive. Most humans couldn't handle that kind of power. Perhaps we could find a way to give you some magic of your own." said Rita.

She chuckled as Facilier spoke.

"It's not my fault if you arrive fashionably late to this party." said Rita, with a grin.

XXXX

Ursula grinned pleased with everyone's reactions.

"Good. I wish to join this army after all.' said Ursula.

She paused transforming back into Vanessa.

"It's easier to travel around on land in this form." said Vanessa.

XXXX

Abis Mal relaxed as the creature turned human again.

"Really crazy." said Abis Mal.

When Facilier mentioned a genie he shook his head.

"No, this genie was red. The blue genie was that annoying boy Aladdin's genie. He helped Aladdin and that annoying princess Jasmine. But my genie Jafar still owes me a wish." said Abis Mal.

XXXX

Lady Tremaine smiled glancing down at the two cats.

"Such refined cats. I haven't seen your family but I'll help you find them." said Lady Tremaine.

She smiled at Trickster.

"My daughter was the one who stole it. But we did use it to rewind time. Unfortunately, our plans were ruined. I haven't seen either of my daughters since I got here. Or my stepdaughter who keeps ruining my plans. Or that fairy godmother." said Lady Tremaine.
XXXX

Shego glanced at Duchess and Marie.

"We have had a few cats join recently. I'm not sure if they're your family but I'm sure you'll meet them sooner or later." said Shego.

She paused at Marie's words.

"Well, we have one giant cat and two orange kittens here. Perhaps they are your family after all." said Shego.

XXXX

Dark Heart smiled seeing innocent and trickster reunite.

"It's always good when friends are reunited." said Dark Heart.

He smiled.

"But you are right Trickster. Appearances can be deceiving. She's not the only shapeshifter here." said Dark Heart.

[Mary Watson]

(OCC: Next post jafar will come)

Mary smiled a tad more as Rita addressed her. Mary smiled replying "Nice to meet you as well" She noticed Ursula form into a human woman like herself and she widened her eyes, clearly impressed. She gasped a little replying "My goodness. Madame, that is truly amazing" She then noticed everyone get into their own little cliques. She then turned to rita once more and replied "Facilier and moriarty has just told me my husband was here. He is doing well I hope. I truly want to see him soon if that's possible"
XXXXX

Facilier gave a impressed nod to Ursula replying "In that case welcome to the army. I don't seem to have gotten your name forgive me for asking" He then turned to Abis Mal who corrected him. Saying that the genie from the heroes was not his. But a reddish looking one. Facilier pondered but then abis mal said the genie's name was jafar. He snapped his fingers realizing that "Oh yeah? Jafar is here. I can definitely reach him for you if you'd like. It's no problem. Everyone needs to pay a debt they owe" He wouldn't tell anyone about his friends yet but he definitely wished to help abis mal get his earned wish. He then nodded to shego, darkheart and Tremaine as they all discussed and introduced themselves more.

Marie was put down by the innocent as trickster went over to him. Marie firmly stayed by her mother's side and smiled as both shego and Tremaine spoke to them. Marie politely referred to shego first, stating insistently "Oh my brother is a orange kitty, oh mama he must be here!" She then pondered as Shego replied a big cat was here "My daddy is just my mama's size. Not really big. You have big cats here? How big are they? If you don't mind me asking of course" She then beamed as Tremaine praised both her and her mother. She replied sincerely as duchess insisted that they thank her praise "Thank you Madames. Helping me and my mama means a lot to me" She then politely bowed her head in respect
XXXXXX

Duchess smiled softly as shego assisted them with clues and Tremaine praised their regalness. Duchess felt her ego boosted a little, taking pride in being a housepet and regal one at that. She bowed to Tremaine, feeling it right to respond to her first "Merci beaucoup madame. My daughter and I are aristocats. I make sure to be polite and civilized. It would be a disrespect to my dear owner if I was a savage. Thank you for your willingness to help" She then smiled, feeling a need to befriend the woman despite her relatively snooty appearance. As was the topic of the conversation, appearances could be deceiving and duchess saw no reason not to be polite "I also must say you are quite regal appearing yourself. I quite like your dress madame, also forgive me but I do not know your name"

She then turned to marie and replied "Marie. Please make sure to say thank you to these ladies for being so polite to us" She then smiled as shego explained that there were two orange kitties and one large one. Duchess pondered for a minute before responding "That does sound like my son Toulouse, but the other orange kitty and big cat sounds odd to me. Perhaps it's best to check first though. Merci"

Trickster responded to Tremaine first as she spoke to him "Regardless that is extremely impressive. Fairy Godmothers are quite powerful and for you and your daughter to deceive her shows great wit" He then pondered as rita offered also to help her learn magic. He nodded replying "If you wish to get more magical spells and powers I am at your disposal my lady. It is good and important that everyone in our army learns it" He then replied politely "Do excuse me I wish to reunite with a old apprentice of mine"

He then turned to darkheart and nodded to his comment of reunion before replying to his agreement about finding use in others "Indeed. It is best to wait and see. And as you say, we have a lot of shapeshifters which is very useful" He nodded to Ursula in approval as she shifted to a human before going to the innocent at long last. He replied with a smile to the innocent and he replied "How would you like to be my apprentice again my boy? You still have great potential" He then chuckled as innocent happily agreed and hugged him. He nodded approvingly "Splendid, we will continue your lessons with me soon"
XXXXXXX

Innocent smiled, putting marie down as he met up closer with the trickster. He then listened as trickster asked him to be a apprentice of his again. Giving trickster a big hug he replied happily "Of course I'll be your apprentice! I have never stopped thinking about being your apprentice again! I'm so glad you want to teach me more" He then beamed as trickster replied he would start his lessons soon. He then turned to DarkHeart who commented on their reunion, Innocent nodded politely "It is very nice. The trickster is amazing. He's a good friend of mine and I am glad he's here. Are you a apprentice of his too?"
