"Well it's certainly alot bigger than teh Red mage Academy I'll give it that." Said a young half-elf looking up at the main Academy enterance for the first time in his life. His long grey hair was gently being tugged to his left by a breeze. A few strand over his face. The young man had a large cloak on with a bandanna on over his face so that only his eyes and forehead could be seen. Under this cloak was a regal looking red suit. It was clear he had shoulder plates on under the cloak and his hands and forearms were covered by sturdy yet flexibal looking guantlets. A Rapier hung at the man's right side showing to anyone how had the eye for it that he was left handed.
Siegfried pulled the bandanna down revealing a slightly pointed ching. And now that his ears were not covered they showed to be pointed and they stuck out slightly making it very clear he wasn't exactly human. His strides were long and his cloak billowed behind him as he walked through the Academy. His dull greyish blue eyes were constantly shifting as he memorized the rout he was taking and made mental landmarks in certain spots.
Fesh from the Red Mage Academy Siegfried was now walking the halls of Arcane Academy to further his knowladge of magic and to also learn new combat meathods. He would then bring what he learned back and the order he belonged to would be able to be indipendant and not hire people to defend them from threats.

Smiley had been sitting playing with his deck on a bench nearby when he heard Siegfried.
He jumped up from the bench and danced over to him.
"It's bigger than any other circus ever, good sir. I tell you that. If you ask me this is a good place to be and if it's a good place to be I would be here. And since I am here it's got to be a good place, you know what I mean?"

Siegfried looked over at the person speaking to him curiously. He hadn't heard the kind of logic spoken in such a way since his grandfather had passed away. He spoke in a similar fashion. it wasn't hard to follow just a bit different. It tendee to not be complex. But it lost alot of people simply from how things were said.
"Yeah I know what you're talking about. And it does seem a nice place. I'm just a bit overwhelmed. I'm from a small place." he said and smiled as he held out his hand.
"I'm Siegfried. I came frem the Red Mage academy to learn about this place. Who is it I am adressing?' He asked.

"Wonderfull, wonderfull. I always like when people get what I say but they rarely does and if they do they mostly get angry by some reason."
Smiley said in a cheerfull manner. Then he took Siegfrieds hand and shaked it by jumping on the spot.
"I'm Smiley, the juggling jester of jokes and joy. If you are from small place this place has to look big. It is actually big if you come from a big place to since the size doesn't change. Or maybe it'sjust me who isn't alert enough to see it when someone new comes here. I've got to be more alert."
Then he suddenly made a backflip for no apparent reason leving his hand still grasping siegfrieds.
"Oh dear did I forget this? Soon I'll forget my own head!"
He said and took it from Siegfried and put it back, and then he moved innocently on the fingers as if both to show that they were real and not fakes as well as to see if it was correctly attached.

Siegfried smiled. not somethign he did often but when he did it was normally wamr and in good humor.
"Well well Juggeling Jester of tricks and jokes indeed." he said as this Smiley person retrived the fake hand. What had caught Siegfried's attention was the backflip. Obviously the person was rather nimble. Almost following the Jester cliche.
"Interesting one like you would be here. many of those who come here are combat oriented. It's not a bad change by any means. But definatly different from what I hear." He said with his voice full of curiousity.
"So whats your purpose here. Wanting th learn a few more things to entertain people with?" He asked.

"Yes sir, no sir and maybe sir! I don't know why I came here and I don't know what I'll do later, but I know what I do now and that is to entertain. People are mostly moody and boring bitching bookworms around here and I don't like that. So I try to cheer them up."
While he spoke he plucked balls from inside his sleeves where they definitley didn't fit and began to juggle with them as he spoke.
"This far I've made friends with mostly childs since they aren't as moody as the others around here. That is good because a child that is moody is a child without smiles, and a child without smiles is a bad childs and bad childrens needs help. I'm here as a doctor for those grown ups who needs help and I intend to do it as well as I can. If I can just gather more people I can make my own circus you know."

This gained a politely raised eyebrow. Siegfried rarely met anyone with this outlook. While he himself did agree he never took any action on this kind of manner. Though he had to admit he was already likeing this person. He seemed a very good man.
"Well I must say your reasons are more nobel and probably much more thought out than many that I hear have come here. I wish you the best of luck. A bit more laughter in this world will always be a good thing." he said

"Oh you missunderstand me, I don't like to plan or think. It's just something I want. And if I get an opportunity to do it I may do it. But I hate to plan ahead and think to deeply in matters like this since if I would do it I wouldn't have any suprises about it since I already had planned ahead about it. And if I didn't get any suprises life would be so boring and dull and I must not forget to mention boring either. Suprises are like sprinkles on ice cream. I can live without them but I refuse to do so, I like sprinkles if you get what I mean. I mean, who doesn't like sprinkles? They are like the suprises in life, you can live without them but I refuse to. Do you like ice cream?"

An interesting but sound piece of ogic. I wonder if anyone else can see that. I wouldn't be so arrogant to assume to understand how this person's mind owrks. But He seems to have a better grip on himself and the things around him than many others do.
Siegfried smiled.
"Well thats a very interesting but very reasonable outlook on things. And yes I do like ice-cream. Dont' eat it much. But it's nice." He said and then his curiousity took over.
"So what are you able t do as of now. I'm curious to see the skills you have. A person who entertians others at a magic school. Many of the things you can do must be highly impressive and my curiousity is raised." he said

"Now you're just flattering me. I'm not that good, I just happen to know a few tricks to make things better for those around me. Here, have an orange."
He picked an orange from under his hat and gave it to Siegfried. This one was actually real and had been placed there earlier.
Then his clothes changed color and turned green and lighter green and from nowhere special a flute began to play a happy song that he began to dance to.
It wasn't an ordinary dance that you could predict but a series of random moves that jsut happened to fit together to make a happy dance.
He kept dancing around Siegfried for a moment, then more instruments joined up with the flute and so did more Smileys join up in his dance. For each lap around Siegfried another jester danced and after a while there were one green, one blue, one yellow, one red, one purple, one pink, one orange, one black, one grey and one white. Once all of them were there they began to sing with happy voices:
"This place was boring, this place was dull.
The day we came here the place was full
with boring people with only books on their mind.
Gosh, we thought, but if we didn't joy find,
we would make our own and spread it here.
Because boring people should not fun fear.
So come out from that dusty book store.
Dance and sing and do even more.
Because no place is as it should,
if there no fun is then nobody would
come here and play or learn
so please over here turn.
And dance and sing and even more.
Turn away from arcane lore.
If only for a moment brief,
you'll see that it's a real relief!"

Siegfried took the orange but was more interested in the dance and the multiple Smileys around him dancing and singing. The song was intersting but from what he heard ver accurate about the Academy and he hoped that this person was sucessful in his endevors.
After the sing was done Siegfriend clapped and nodded with a smile.
"Highly impressive. I have no doubt you'll quickly become the life of the Academy. I don't think I;ve met anyone who uses their skills to entertain instead of attack or heal in these sort of places. You are a refreshing change from most of life. I wish you the best of luck in what you do." He said.

In the blink of an eye all smileys but one disapeared. The purple smiley who stood behind Siegfried danced around him so he came in front of him again.
"Thank you kind sir and I can asure you that this place won't be as it was before and probably not as it will be later in time either. If people knew how wonderfull it is to let go of your mind and begin to play with everything else instead they wouldn't sit and sleep with their legs crossed all day as I've seen. Next time maybe I'll poke one with a stick, maybe paint his face, we'll see. For now I'll just dance and sing. Come, join me!"
Then he began to dance. This time even wilder and by doing backflips he created more clones again by leaving a clone with his previous color where he had landed. He went from red to blue and from blue to yellow and from there to green and finaly he took white to black.
Then they all began to sing again. This time all of them had different faces, but everyone was smiling and dancing in the wildest and wierdest way imaginable.
"Come again, my friend that I've just met,
the dance and song isn't over yet.
If you try to leave before,
you will not have fun anymore.
So come, enjoy yourself, let sanity fly,
you've only got one life and it's quickly passing by!
So come, yes come, to the dance of joy,
come here every old and young, girl and boy!
Come and dance and sing and play,
we can keep doing it all day.
And when night falls and older wants it to end
we will just play and ingore where they us send.
Because we do what we want and when we want it to,
and if someone says something else we'll answer them 'screw you!'"
