"Allow me to say once again that it's an honor to meet all of you! Even you my latest guest!"
Arvid exclaimed as he took a humble bow towards Mike and Houdini!Sam did the same, earning another pleased giggle from the genuine Pagan Spirit. Seeing how amazed Aika/Luso/and Sam were by his tricks, Arvid couldn't help but feel the slightest bit flustered. Making people happy with his tricks were the whole reason that he did them! But to get such genuine praise and so early on was a bit more than he was used to! But he appreciated it all the same and looking back at Houdini, Arvid put two fingers to his mouth and whistled.
Houdini recognized his master's call and nodded to Sam before poofing in a cloud of smoke once more. Hopping along while wagging his little bunny tail, Houdini climbed atop Arvid's arm once more as the illusionist twirled his wand back and forth in hand.
"You..Mike, right? You made a comment about horror movies correct? Well, did you know that horror movies often have some element of supernatural or even in some cases magic to them? Take the Wishmaster's Djinn for example! He'll grant anyone any wish! But it often blows back in the face of the wishmaker! Perhaps even literally! That type of magic is no good but it also shows a false understanding of how I feel magic should truly be represented. Which is as a force of good meant to be used at the enjoyment of others! Not at their expense or what have you! Which is why I have something special planned that I think you'll all enjoy! Houdini?"
The bunny wrinkled it's cute lil nose before bouncing off Arvid's shoulder as Sam watched curiously. What was this bunny going to turn into now? It had already shown that it could turn into a pillow and even a copy of him! But what else could it do? Hopping over to what seemed to be a rather bland looking wall with all sorts of knicknacks cluttering up the walls and a smiling face on the wall.
"Lead the way my furry companion! Show our guests the way to paradise!"
Houdini made cute little bunny noises as he was wanton to do and leaped up. Vanishing in a puff of smoke once more and this time appearing as a hand. In this case the hand was pointing behind the group. If the group looked behind them, they'd see an elaborate set-up that hadn't been there when they walked in. Was this another one of Arvid's many tricks? Or was it just an illusion and it had been there the whole time and the group could only now see it? Whatever the case may have been, Houdini soon resumed his normal form and hopped towards the organ that was situated comfortably near the back wall of the tent. Glancing back at Arvid as if there was some type of signal between the two, Arvid gave the thumbs-up and Houdini began hopping from key to key.
It wasn't the most precises of tunes given that a bunny was orchestrating it but it helped set the mood. Sam was absolutely delighted for one. He had come in here expecting to hate the performance and he wasn't going to be afraid to show it. But now he wanted more and more tricks! He wanted to see everything that Arvid could do! Hopping up and down like the overzealous child that he was, Sam tugged on Arvid's cape. He had a trick of his own that he wanted to show Arvid and the others. Amused and pleased by how eager Sam was to see the performance, Arvid motioned for Sam to continue.
"Heh...Heh!"
Thanks to his 'unique' biology, losing limbs or healing what would otherwise be grievous wounds was no big issue for Sam. Which is why he'd grip onto his left arm and began to pull and pull and pull. Until a crunch could have been heard and pumpkin seeds could have been seen falling from the gap that Sam was making as he literally went about pulling his arm off. Once the arm was finally off, Sam let it drop to the floor and Arvid couldn't help but be the little bit unnerved. It was clear to him that Sam was no ordinary boy but perhaps this was just this boy's own display of magic, morbid as it may have been. Keeping a close eye on the severed arm, Arvid nearly toppled over in surprise as the arm began to move about on it's own. Even going so far as to shake hands with Sam's other-still attached-arm.
"O-Oh! This..Is certainly a unique trick, Sam! I'm unsure I'd be able to duplicate it myself! But it has given me some insight! You're not exactly a human are you?" Arvid asked genuinely while trying to keep calm and ignore the fact that a severed arm was moving about as if it had it's own free will. Having been put on the spot, Sam tapped his chin in thought. Glancing down at the array of pumpkin seeds that had been left due to his 'trick', Sam grinned behind his mask. Utilizing his telekinesis, Sam arranged the seeds in such a manner to spell out a message.
"I'm not a human, nope! I was raised in a pumpkin patch by witches! Did you enjoy my trick, Mr. Arvid?"
Put more at ease by the fact that Sam seemingly didn't mean to frighten Arvid or any of the other guests, the Illusionist nodded. Reaching down, he sought to pick up the arm and hand it back to Sam.
"I certainly wasn't expecting it, Sam. But let me just say you seem like you'd fit right in with us folks here at the carnival! I can't say that any of us were raised in a pumpkin patch or brought up by witches of all things! You're the unique little boy, Sam and you had fun. That's all that really matters, I'd say!"
Giggling at the praise, Sam happily accepted his arm back and reattached it without any fuss. Looking over at Houdini who seemed to still be enjoying himself on the Organ, Arvid whistled once more and the bunny made his way over to be at his partner/master's side.
"Now, do any of you have requests on what you'd like to see Houdini and I do?"
Waddling back over to Aika and Luso's side, Sam waved over at Iggy as he made his way into the tent. He knew he'd see that dog again! He just had a feeling..
