Renathan knew that he wasn't going to win this one, and that was just fine! The mammalian had been waiting on the sidelines whenever the round went to start, holding his excellently brushed and soft-looking Orbaru in his arms carefully as he figured they'd watch a few first. However, he was soon enough waved out onto the show ring. He put a finger to his own chest and mouthed 'Me' beneath the mask, the bottom of his face showing just enough to make it obvious. The individual nodded, and Renathan moved out, Sugar in his arms. Them up first, then! Renathan did not mind. "Hello everybody, this is Sugar!" Renathan said, holding him out ever so gently. "I'd say he's pretty beautiful for an orbaru, look at how soft his fur is!" At that, the orbaru chose to look up, casting his SUPER adorable golden gaze out on the crowd and waving his little tail orb around. He was deceptively adorable! He gently nommed and drooled on the mammalian's russet arm, and Renathan chuckled. "Heheh, stop that Sugar, aren't you cute?" At that, he picks up the little creature's arm and 'waves' it at the crowd. "Well that's Sugar, everybody!" How cute! He left the ring, and nodded to the next person in line.

Level: 0 Loyalty: 7
Stamina: 8 Strength: 7 Resistance: 5 Dexterity: 3 Mentality: 2 Special Abilities: Run Moves: Buck, Wind Spear, Air's Wrath Dang, there were so many pretty pets there! Yes, Ashe was man enough to admit when something was beautiful. Equillion, especially. Sorry to all of the Orbaru out there, but Ashe was extremely biased and he couldn't help it. And while he was also biased toward his own creature out of solidarity, he couldn't help but let his gaze linger on the other equine critters gathered there. He even saw a cross that was interesting, but it wasn't an Equillion... He cleared his throat and led his mare out into the ring when his name was called. He tried to pay just enough attention to the others, without losing focus on his own girl. Eternal snorted and tossed her head, eyeing the others warily. She was used to the company kept at Ashe's estate, but not in a more enclosed area, with strangers. But there were some interesting others there, especially a brown stallion... She snorted again when Ashe tugged on the lead, the halter pulling her head gently. Obediently, she followed along behind the man and they went into the ring. Inyala was on Ashe's shoulder, as usual, though she didn't take part in this. She didn't want to leave her master alone and he felt better with her there anyway. Once out in the arena, Ashe spread his arm wide to indicate the attention should be on his gorgeous companion. "Hey everyone, this is Eternal!" As if on cue, she arched her neck and let her mane fall in waves over her neck. While she stood, basking in the gaze of all those gathered, Ashe spent some time brushing her out, indicating her soft flowing mane, the cleaned and groomed feathers on her feet, the shine of her coat, the polish on her horn... And then he'd done all he could do, and excused himself with a bow and a thank you.

Pet Name: Odd Rabbit Thing (Registered as Cinnabon) Female Level: 9; Loyalty: 10 Stamina: 2 Strength: 1 Resistance: 0 Dexterity: 2 Mentality: 0 Special Abilities: Pacifism, Thick Fur Moves: None Groomed with:
The last time Flare had come to the contest hall, he wasn't doing well physically or mentally. Things for him had improved... to say the least. It didn't feel 'hard' to walk around. But the lack of any feeling in his right leg frequently found catching his toes of that foot on anything. Wood, a stone, cobbles, AIR..., and having to catch himself with the staff-cane to avoid crashing into the ground. So having both hands relatively occupied with an uneased orbaru who did not enjoy her checkup by the vet whatsoever... he had to wait in line for the next contestant to go. He watched the russet mammalian who he'd encountered in the past... at the Cache, right? He had an orbaru too, a little one with large eyes and a larger orb on its tail. The creature wasn't by any means dainty, but just too... eye-catching that words couldn't describe. It wasn't beautiful. Not to him. If you looked at her from afar in the right light, in the right angle, maybe Cinnabon might qualify as pretty. But it wasn't a figuring that the tumaian youth had much experience in. Hardly any at all in fact. For his own relief, there were chairs offered for the 'needy', and he gratefully took one. To lean his staff-cane against the chair's seat, and give Cinnabon a place to rest for a few minutes. There was a man with a horse... a very unusual looking horse that took the stage then, and just... had people look at it. To look at him clean her up in public. What was this, a cleaning competition?! Keeping his own off-color opinion to himself, he absently stroked the orbaru's back. She glances at him with a minute tilt of her head. Her bangs fall to one side, shielding one eye. Finally, the man and his now 'clean' horse left. Nodding to him? Uh. Uh. Oh, wonderful, it was time. 13.20[female orbaru please]

Uhhhhh, butterflies. Butterflies in the gut. Flare didn't initially get up from his chair, looking to ground his nervousness neatly into the ground first. Hum... there wasn't a rule about no shoes, was there. That might help. Carefully maneuvering Cinnabon into being carried again, Flare slipped off his sandals and stood up. His staff-cane in hand, the duo went up to the stage. There was a small table for which to present your small creature that someone held up in the corner of his eye, pointing at it and at the stage. He nods, and the helper races to place it ahead of him. Just his height too, surprisingly. How ...kind. To the audience but first the judges, Flare demonstrates the polite greeting of his people. {Flare} he gestures to himself. {Cinnabon} and to the orbaru who is now on the pedestal, peeking over it on all fours. Hm... she could probably land that jump. Wasn't much taller then tall fence. "Ssinnabun" he stumbles on his words briefly; a few snooterys giggle. "my ownlee orbaru. Veree nise. Veree prettee." The orbaru isn't paying much attention at the exact second, more interested in the table she was placed upon. Her posture is very rabbit, on all fours and upon her hind toes to peek over. She glances up at the audience, briefly confused. Why were they here? But she's got two things in her vision now. Hands, and a brush... and a berry. Okay, maybe just a bit she'd hold still. 14.20

{Very good.} Flare passes her the berry, a moderately sized pear shape with pink polka dots. He learned with experiencing his own long and moderately difficult to manage hair that short strokes worked best. To the very closely watching, Cinnabon's fur is layered in places where you wouldn't usually think layering would be done. Carefully, he works through brushing out the orbaru's fluffy russet red and black and cream colored fur. From the posture he can see, she's not 100% sold on the idea of being publically brushed, but has food and is passive enough. When he steps back and stops, she looks at him, licking some berry juice off her paws. {Turn toward me, Cinnabon} he says, getting out of her sight range. There's another berry in his hand, a red one now. Eager for more treats, the silky does a little shuffle around, since there's not much space on the table, and he praises her with the berry. Continuing to brush her out quietly and carefully. [Cinnabon uses 'turn right', 'turn left' not on command, demonstrates tolerance] 15.20

Five minutes pass, and he does the same thing, in the opposite direction. {Turn this way Cinnabon} Presented with a green berry, the orbaru has no complaints, and she was getting brushed out. There was a particularly stubborn portion of fur on her ear that was a pest. With him handling her ear a bit rough, she can't pull away otherwise it hurt. Finally, its finished. {Very good.} he praises the orbaru gently with another berry and a smile. Stepping away and gesturing at her. {Thank you.} Bowing, and walking slowly off the stage. Boop? {Come here Cinnabon. Jump down, you can do it.} he has a berry drop from his hand as he leaves, and the orbaru hops down off the pedestal (this height is nothing in her opinion) and springs for the berry. When its in her paws, she's scooped up and they take a seat again. She's got berry juice on her paws to lick off and a sense or pride. Wasn't she pretty? Oh yes. [Cinnabon finishes demonstrating tolerance, uses 'off' and 'come' not on command] 16.20 Cinnabon 10/11

Name: Freya Gender: Female Age: Old Species: Faeron StatsLevel: 0 Loyalty: 7 Stamina: 2 Strength: 1 Resistance: 0 Dexterity: 4 Mentality: 3 Special Abilities: Fly, Diurnal Spirit, Gleam Moves: Telekinesis, Illusion, Starlight, Cure Well, it was time to shine, or at least gleam, she figured. Jack sighed a little and stepped into the arena with Freya on her shoulder. She didn't know how to do anything on command or anything, but that wasn't really the point, she was lovely to the woman and that was the whole point of it. A smile graced her face for a little bit and she bowed to the people who were there. She wasn't sure what to say, but that was fine as well. "This is Freya, I just got her and she doesn't know anything on command, but that's fine. She's lovely, I think, and that's all that really matters to me," Jack said with a little smile, rubbing against Freya's cheek. It wasn't like she could really do anything different at this point, but that was fine as well, she just hoped that this would be enough to push them over the edge. ((Male Orbaru please))

Inspire Level: 0 Loyalty: 2 Stamina: 6 Strength: 4 Resistance: 3 Dexterity: 4 Mentality: 3 Special Abilities: Shadow Immunity, Fly, Mechanical Mind, Run Moves: Buck, Rainbow, Telekinesis, Hidden Mist, Incendiary Illusion, Intangible Body Silver was enjoying their trips to the contest hall lately. It had been a long time since they were able to enter them, and last time they were there, they got second place. It wasn't first prize, of course, but it really felt like an accomplishment, especially considering how out of practice they were. Now it was time for the beauty show, and they were excited to get started. The only problem was that Inspire didn't really know any cool tricks like Kumoya did. They were puzzled about how to go about the show part of the contest. She followed them into the hall without too much issue, but she looked visibly nervous when she saw that there were a lot of people around. She just wasn't used to this much activity. She tapped her hooves on the ground and tossed her head. Her bright purple mane really was beautiful, and Silver hoped that the crowd picked up on it despite how anxious she was. They gently ran her hand along her side so that she could draw a little comfort from their touch. [97.5 - 0.4] [Male Orbaru please!]

"You'll be okay, girl," Silver cooed in their most soothing voice. They decided to make things seem a little more normal so that she could calm down. They pulled out a brush and lightly brushed her fur, even though she didn't need it. She always liked to be brushed, so they hoped that it would calm her down a little bit. They didn't think that she would be this worried about being out here, and they started to feel bad about dragging her to the contest hall if it was just going to be upsetting for her.
Inspire pressed into the brush and closed her eyes. With her eyes closed and the feeling of the brush on her side, she could start to forget what was going on around her. She adjusted her wings, allowing the light to hit their bright pink tips. She really was beautiful, Silver thought. It was a good choice to bring her along, especially if she started to really relax.

"There it is, easy, easy," Silver was really just talking to fill out the silence. They hoped that she would keep unintentionally showing off how pretty she was and that it would impress the judges. She seemed pretty happy about all the brushing and attention. Who wouldn't? With both of them relaxing a bit and losing some of their nervous energy, they could get to the actual show part of the show. Silver knew what she knew a lot of cool little magic tricks, but didn't know how to encourage her to do it.
Silver slowly stopped brushing her as they tried to think of a way to get her to show some of her powers off. Amusingly, that was exactly what they needed to do. After noticing that the brushing had stopped, Inspire turned toward her with her bright blue eyes. Her horn began to glow with magical purple energy and Silver slowly started to lift off the ground.

"Woah, woah," Silver said. They felt themselves being enveloped by magical energy, then their feet slowly left the floor. "Heya Inspire, now, I know this seems like a good idea, but you should let me down, okay?"
Inspire turned around so that she could focus on her abilities more intensely. Her eyes narrowed until she was squinting at them, focusing all of her power on them. They lifted Silver high into the air so that they couldn't possibly touch the ground. Then she forced them to reached out the hand that had the brush in it, but she couldn't make them brush her. That was too fine of a motion for her current control of her powers.
"Oh do you just want to be brushed? Look I can do that, but you have to put me down okay?" Silver reached out with their brush hand and wiggled it around to emphasize their point. They didn't think it would work, but they could try.

"Inspiiire, you really have to let me down now." Silver was worried that they would be kicked out of Inspire didn't stop with her little trick and the judges learned that it wasn't an intentional part of the routine. They grinned and did a little in-air flip as though all of this was intentional. How long could she sustain something like this, anyway?
It wasn't like Silver had never flown before through various means, but they didn't like not having any control over what was happening. It was possible that they could break the effect, but they didn't want to startle or hurt Inspire so they didn't try. It did make them nervous that she didn't seem to have a lot of control over her power. If they went flying across the arena, that was sure not to go over that well. Instead, they'd just keep gently encouraging her to put them down. Eventually she would have to get the hint, right?

Of all the cool things she could do, she had to pick this one. Silver was concerned that she would drop them, which would be fine if not for the fact that it would probably ruin their show. They still tried to twist themselves in such a way that the trick looked intentional, like it was part of the act and she was holding them up as part of the display. They had to think quickly if they wanted to get free and also make it look like they were doing it on purpose.
There was always that wings spell that they knew, though that probably would take too much attention of Inspire. If only they could convince her to let them down gently. They tried waggling the brush again, this time closer to her fur. "Do you want me to brush you again, Inspire?" They said quietly so that she could hear, but hopefully the judges couldn't. What a mess this turned out to be!

Inspire squinted at Silver again. They seemed distressed. All she wanted was to be brushed, and maybe to get some more of those treats that they had. They were giving her so many treats back stage! What ever happened to that? She wanted more. She shook them a little in the air. This telekinesis stuff was so hard! She wanted to put them down, but she wasn't so sure how to.
Silver was really starting to feel like they weren't getting through to her when she turned to look at them, then shook them a bit. Well at least that was something new instead of more of the same. That was encouraging. If only they could get her to finally let them down. Just a little bit longer, they thought. They could see it on her face. She looked like she was ready to do something different, and they hoped that her choice would be a good one.
