The working crew was beginning to wonder if striking was an option. Frank had gotten a confetti cannon from somewhere, and they just knew that she'd had to have reloaded it somehow. They'd already cleared a lot of the confetti and such, but, well, there was only so much they could do in between, you know? They'd finally gotten everything more or less together now.
Frank was... not really working the crowd so much as leaning against the podium taking a much needed snack break. She admittedly didn't know this guy too well, and seeing that he was from a circus, well, Frank assumed that he was up for just about everything. Plus, she'd already done a pretty good job of scaring away the general public, and the way she saw it, it was most likely that someone was going to be going for the matched set here, and her other people should have been ready for it. Besides, she'd been bouncing all over the place so far: she needed to recharge and get ready for it.
When she finished, she tossed it behind her, where it would likely land near the gavel or something. Then she gripped the podium. "People, this is serious time. I'ma get all serial with you now: we have a set of twins. Super hawt ones. There's this one, and another one. And they're circus people. They could literally not get hotter unless we slathered them in butter and then rolled them in the pages of a manga. Because you just know they're making out when you're not looking. So here's your chance to bid on half of that set now, people, and hopefully get the other or something. That's right, it's time to bid on Casper Emory!"
And Britney Spears' "Circus" began blaring while Frank gestured grandly, obviously expecting Casper to make his grand entrance.

"This is all Jasper's fault." Casper said to himself as he moved his light blode hair out of his eyes. Casper had not allowed his brother to even swap with him and had made sure to tell his brother to be good or else before they went their separate ways. Yes it was very weird to not be right next to his brother or at least able to see him, but he was not going to die. He didn't feel like his usual powered self however, just like some ordinary sixteen year old boy. Thankfully he had learned his tricks and what not in the circus long before he had come into his powers so it was not like he was some talentless and now powerless guy. He still did have a small amount of nerves that resulted in him pulling out the deck of cards he always carried somewhere on his person and started to shuffle them. He had been told more or less to wait until he heard his name and then to go out there and to look his best. He figured he could pull off a trick to really amaze anyone that might have been out there.
Still he would not admit it to anyone or his brother but his confidence was pretty much down in this situation. He and his brother were still a little knew to the school and without his other half he felt like he had lost that part of him that made him attractive. Odd to think of it like that, but it was only a small part of him that was a tad bit worried that he was not going to get bided on. Then a realization hit his head that meant that if he didn't get bided on then he would have nothing to worry about and things would be fine. The only problem with that was that he had to make sure that someone bided on his brother. Jasper was the more sensitive of the two and not getting a single bid might end up setting him off and that would be no fun to deal with. Maybe if they were not going on at the same time he could run over and place a bet on his brother.
Someone was speaking now, ending thoughts about what he could do to make sure that his brother at least got on bid on him. The introduction was interesting to say the least with the whole being called super-hot and how they were circus people. Now he was for sure going to have to do something pretty cool at least even if no one was gathered around. Switching out with another 'deck of cards' and getting ready. Butter really? Casper thought to himself, finding that he was starting to think of getting something to eat. Wait, making out with Jasper when no one was looking?! Hell, no! His name was called, ending that train of thought as he moved to take the stage and that song playing. It was a song that yes he was familiar with because the brothers loved them some Britney spears. Closing his eyes for a moment and going as if this was just another show that he was giving with his brother.
Stepping out at a perfect music queue time and tossing the deck of cards he had in his hand into the air off the stage. Cards flying into the air and lighting on fire and burning up pretty quickly as they fluttered down with nothing reaming of them. He told himself to keep distracted by just performing different tricks and simple moves and to not think about the bid to much. Doing a backflip and even dancing a little to the music and showing off said flexibility that she mentioned.

Well, at least the guy knew how to read a cue, Frank would give him that. She was actually mildly impressed, as well as wondering if she should've made some kind of mad dash to complete the set or something. Well, she'd probably already have to buy some people to save them from the creepers in the audience. Even now, far too many creepy looking folks were looking at the circus guy like he'd just whipped his shirt off and lit it on fire.
"Wasn't that super awesome and impressive folks?" said Frank waving her arms enthusiastically. She followed up with a little dance, practically squealing with delight before eventually settling. "Right, so the starting bid is totally twenty-five dollars. Someone gonna give me twenty-five dollars? C'mon, people, you don't want to let this totally awesome guy go all alone, do you? I mean, he's a twin that means there's another one that you could probably talk into coming along."
And Frank favored the audience with sexy eyebrows before slapping the podium. She leaned forward, her mustache wobbling a bit, but her finger stretching out all the same. "Right, let's here some bids people! Get in the monies for this fine specimen of twinly manliness!"
